Short Answer

Expert verified

a.

The relationship between\(\bar x\)and\(\bar y\)is:\(\bar y = a\bar x + b\).

The relationship between\(s_x^2\)and\(s_y^2\)is:\(s_y^2 = {a^2}s_x^2\).

b.

The sample average is 189.14 Fahrenheit.

The sample standard deviation is 1.872 Fahrenheit.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

There are two constants a and b.

\({y_i} = a{x_i} + b\)for i=1,2,鈥,n.

The average temperature for initiating a certain chemical reaction is 87.3 degrees Celsius.

The sample standard deviation is 1.04.

02

Describing the relationship between the sample means

The sample mean of x is given as,

\(\bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n}\)

The sample of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar y &=& \frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + ... + {y_n}}}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{\left( {a{x_1} + b} \right) + \left( {a{x_2} + b} \right) + ... + \left( {a{x_n} + b} \right)}}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{a\left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_n}} \right) + nb}}{n}\\ &=& a\frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} + b\\ &=& a\bar x + b\end{array}\)

Thus, the relationship between \(\bar x\) and \(\bar y\) is \(\bar y = a\bar x + b\).

03

Describing the relationship between the sample variance

The sample variance of x is given as,

\(s_x^2 = \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\)

The sample variance of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s_y^2 &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{y_i} - \bar y} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} + b - \left( {a\bar x + b} \right)} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} + b - \left( {a\bar x + b} \right)} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} - a\bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{{a^2}\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& {a^2}s_x^2\end{array}\)

Therefore, the relationship between \(s_x^2\) and \(s_y^2\) is: \(s_y^2 = {a^2}s_x^2\).

04

Computing the average in Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit in Celsius is given as,

\(F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32\)

Since the average is affected by the change of origin and scale.

The sample average measured in Fahrenheit is computed as,

\(\frac{9}{5}\left( {87.3} \right) + 32 = 189.14\)

Therefore, the sample average is 189.14 Fahrenheit.

05

Computing the standard deviation in Fahrenheit.

Since the standard deviation is affected by only the change of scale.

The sample standard deviation measured in Fahrenheit is computed as,

\(\frac{9}{5}\left( {1.04} \right) = 1.872\)

Therefore, the sample standard deviation is 1.872 Fahrenheit.

A trial has just resulted in a hung jury because eight members of the jury were in favour of a guilty verdict and the other four were for acquittal. If the jurors leave the jury room in random order and each of the first four leaving the room is accosted by a reporter in quest of an interview, what is the\({\rm{pmf}}\)of\({\rm{X = }}\)the number of jurors favouring acquittal among those interviewed? How many of those favouring acquittal do you expect to be interviewed?

Use various techniques discussed in this chapter to organize, summarize, and describe the data.

One piece of PVC pipe is to be inserted inside another piece. The length of the first piece is normally distributed with mean value \({\rm{20}}\) in. and standard deviation \({\rm{.5}}\) in. The length of the second piece is a normal \({\rm{rv}}\)with mean and standard deviation \({\rm{15}}\) in. and \({\rm{.4}}\) in., respectively. The amount of overlap is normally distributed with mean value \({\rm{1}}\) in. and standard deviation \({\rm{.1}}\) in. Assuming that the lengths and amount of overlap are independent of one another, what is the probability that the total length after insertion is between \({\rm{34}}{\rm{.5 }}\) in. and \({\rm{35}}\) in.?

Lengths of bus routes for any particular transit system will typically vary from one route to another. The article 鈥淧lanning of City Bus Routes鈥 (J. of the Institution of Engineers, 1995: 211鈥215) gives the following information on lengths (km) for one particular system:

Length6-<8 8-<10 10-<12 12-<14 14-<16

Frequency6 23 30 35 32

Length16-<18 18-<20 20-<22 22-<24 24-<26

Frequency48 42 40 28 27

Length26-<28 28-<30 30-<35 35-<40 40-<45

Frequency26 14 27 11 2

a. Draw a histogram corresponding to these frequencies.

b. What proportion of these route lengths are less than 20? What proportion of these routes have lengths of at least 30?

c. Roughly what is the value of the 90th percentile of the route length distribution?

d. Roughly what is the median route length?

Let \({\rm{X}}\) be the total medical expenses (in \({\rm{1000}}\) s of dollars) incurred by a particular individual during a given year. Although \({\rm{X}}\) is a discrete random variable, suppose its distribution is quite well approximated by a continuous distribution with pdf \({\rm{f(x) = k(1 + x/2}}{\rm{.5}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{ - 7}}}}\) for.

a. What is the value of\({\rm{k}}\)?

b. Graph the pdf of \({\rm{X}}\).

c. What are the expected value and standard deviation of total medical expenses?

d. This individual is covered by an insurance plan that entails a \({\rm{\$ 500}}\) deductible provision (so the first \({\rm{\$ 500}}\) worth of expenses are paid by the individual). Then the plan will pay \({\rm{80\% }}\) of any additional expenses exceeding \({\rm{\$ 500}}\), and the maximum payment by the individual (including the deductible amount) is\({\rm{\$ 2500}}\). Let \({\rm{Y}}\) denote the amount of this individual's medical expenses paid by the insurance company. What is the expected value of\({\rm{Y}}\)?

(Hint: First figure out what value of \({\rm{X}}\) corresponds to the maximum out-of-pocket expense of \({\rm{\$ 2500}}\). Then write an expression for \({\rm{Y}}\) as a function of \({\rm{X}}\) (which involves several different pieces) and calculate the expected value of this function.)
