Problem 2: You have applied to two universities X and Y for graduate admission. There is a .25 chance that you are going to get into X and .20 chance that you are going to get into Y. Keep in mind that admission into the universities is independent events.

a) What is the probability that you are going to get into both universities?

b) What is the probability that you are going to get into at least one university?

c) What is the probability that you are going to get into any one of the university?

d) Are getting into those universities mutually exclusive?

Suppose that you have applied to two graduate schools and believe that you have a 0.6 probability of being accepted by school C, a 0.7 probability of being accepted by school D, and a 0.5 probability of being accepted by both. A) Events (accepted by school C) and (accepted by school D) are independent. True or False B) Events (accepted by school C) and (accepted by school D) are disjoint. True or False

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized exam used by many universities as part of the assessment for admission to graduate study in business. The average GMAT score is 547 (Magoosh website, January 5, 2015). Assume that GMAT scores are bell-shaped with a standard deviation of 100 . a. What percentage of GMAT scores are 647 or higher? b. What percentage of GMAT scores are 747 or higher (to 1 decimal)? c. What percentage of GMAT...

Problem 2. (a) Prove that, if two continuous random variable X and Y are independent P(X > x, Y > y) = P(X > x)P(Y > y) (b) Now prove that, under the same conditions, X,Y, independent continuous random variables, E(XY) = E(X)E(Y).

4. (Oblique Trajectory Problem) Let F(x, y) = x 2 + xy + y 2 . Find a formula for G(x, y) such that every curve in the one-parameter family defined by F(x, y) = c intersects every curve in the one-parameter family defined by G(x, y) = c at a sixty degree angle

Think of a problem dealing with two variables (Y and X) that you may be interested in. Share your problem and discuss why a regression analysis could be appropriate for this problem. Specifically, what statistical questions are you asking? You should describe the data collection process that you are proposing but you do not need to collect any data.

In this problem there are two random variables X and Y. The random variable Y counts how many times we roll the die in the following experiment: First, we flip a fair coin. If it comes Heads we set X= 1 and roll a fair die until we get a six. If it comes Tails, we set X= 0 and roll the die until we get an even number (2, 4 or 6). a). What are the possible values taken...

Think of a problem dealing with two possibly related variables (Y and X) that you may be interested in. Share your problem and discuss why a regression analysis could be appropriate for this problem. Specifically, what statistical questions are you asking? Why would you want to predict the value of Y? What if you wanted to predict a value of Y that’s beyond the highest value of X (for example if X is time and you want to forecast Y...
