From given unimodal and positively skewed distribution of age at first marriage, we can conclude that, in most of cases first marriage happened in between the age 17 to 40 years. And there exist particular age (between 17-30year) at which maximum people do their first marriage.

Let x = age in years of a rural Quebec woman at the time of her first marriage. In the year 1941
  Let x = age in years of a rural Quebec woman at the time of her first marriage. In the year 1941, the population variance of x was approximately σ2 = 5.1. Suppose a recent study of age at first marriage for a random sample of 31 women in rural Quebec gave a sample variance s2 = 3.0. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the current variance is less than 5.1. Find a 90% confidence...

1-) A researcher who thinks that Sanav anxiety reads the effect on the scores obtained from the success tests, wants to decrease the anxiety levels with a therapy to be applied to students. In this regard, students want to have an idea about the effectiveness of the method applied by measuring their anxiety levels before and after therapy. The lowest score on the scale of fight is 10, the highest score. 10 full points show the point where the loss...

Based on a study of the nations of the world, a researcher finds that wealthier nations generally have a greater percentage of the population employed in the public sector than do less fortunate nations. He claims that this relationship is causal; i.e., the wealth of a nation leads to or causes growth in public sector employment. Evaluate this claim with respect to the criteria for assessing causality. Explain your arguments briefly and clearly.

A psychologist has developed a personality test on which scores can range from 0 to 200. The mean score of well-adjusted people is 100. It is assumed that the less well-adjusted an individual is, the more the individual’s score will differ from the mean value. The Dean of Students at XYZ University is interested in discovering whether the students at XYZ are well-adjusted, on average. Fifteen students are randomly sampled. Their scores are: 80, 60, 120, 140, 200, 70, 30,...
