Choose a point at random from the unit square [0, 1] × [0, 1]. We also choose the second random point, independent of the first, uniformly on the line segment between (0, 0) and (1, 0). The random variable A is the area of a triangle with its corners at (0, 0) and the two selected points. Find the probability density function (pdf) of A.

USE R AND SHOW CODES!!

1.a. There is a theorem that the ratios of blood types O, A, B and AB are 49:38:9:4,

respectively. A research team, investigating a small community and obtained the following frequencies of blood type.

Blood type

Blood Type O A B AB

Frequency 87 59 20 4

Test the hypothesis that the proportions in this community do not differ significantly

from those in the general theorem.

1.b. The severity of participants' migraines is clinically assessed. The following table

displays the severity classifications for patients assigned to the medical and the non

traditional therapies

Severity Classification

Therapy Minimal Moderate Severe

Medical 90 60 50

Non traditional 50 60 90

Is there any evidence that severity is independent of type of therapy?

Use the Chi-Square option in the Nonparametric Tests menu to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Assume a level of significance of .05 and use information from the scenario to determine the expected frequencies for each category).

Scenario: During the analysis of the district data, it was determined that one high school had substantially higher Graduate Exit Exam scores than the state average and the averages of high schools in the surrounding districts. To better understand possible reasons for this difference, the superintendent conducted several analyses. One analysis examined the population of students who completed the exam. Specifically, the superintendent wanted to know if the distribution of special education, regular education, and gifted/talented test takers from the local high school differed from the statewide distribution. The obtained data are provided below. Description Special Education* Regular Education Gifted/Talented Number of students from the local high school who took the

*For purposes of testing, special education includes any student who received accommodations during the exam.

1. If the student distribution for the local high school did not differ from the state, what would be the expected percentage of students in each category?

2. What were the actual percentages of local high school students in each category? (Report final answer to two decimal places)

3. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

4. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

5. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

6. What is the reported level of significance?

7. Based on the results of the one-sample chi-square test, was the population of test taking students at the local high school statistically significantly different from the statewide population?

8. Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis.

Note: The table must be created using your word processing program. Tables that are copied and pasted from SPSS are not acceptable.

Use the following table displaying 20 of the top (era-adjusted) grossing movies of all time, along with their Metacritic score (a weighted average of critics ratings), the amount of money they grossed (weighted for the year of release, in millions of dollars), and an indicator of whether or not the movie is a sequel to answer the following questions. You will need to use StatCrunch for this question.

Title Metacritic Adj_Gross Sequel
Gone with the Wind 97 1895.422 No
Star Wars 90 1668.98 No
The Sound of Music 63 1335.086 No
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 91 1329.175 No

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 51 846.2244 Yes
The Lion King 88 835.3018 No
The Sting 83 835.269 No

a) Find the correlation between the Metacritic and Adj_Gross variables. Describe the strength and direction of the correlation.

b) Does having a higher Metacritic score have more an impact on gross revenue for original movies (non-sequels) or sequels? Put another way, does an increase of 1 in the Metacritic variable add more value to sequels or non-sequels? Justify your answer. You should be finding two different regression equations to answer this question.

c) Let’s say a new movie came out that received a Metacritic score of 89. Using your regression equations, how much money would it be expected to make if it is a sequel? How much money would it be expected to make if it is not a sequel?

The president of the American Insurance Institute wants to compare the yearly costs of auto insurance offered by two leading companies. He selects a sample of 15 families, some with only a single insured driver, others with several teenage drivers, and pays each family a stipend to contact the two companies and ask for a price quote. To make the data comparable, certain features, such as the deductible amount and limits of liability, are standardized. The data for the sample of families and their two insurance quotes are reported below.

At the 0.10 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the amounts quoted? Hint: For the calculations, assume the "Midstates Car Insurance" as the first sample.

A machine puts liquid into bottles of perfume. The amount of liquid put into each bottle, Dml, follows a normal distribution with mean 25ml.

Given that 15% of bottles contain less than 24.63ml

a.) find, to 2 decimal places, the value of k such that P(24.63<D<k) = 0.45

A random sample of 200 bottles is taken.

b.) Using a normal approximation, find the probability that fewer than half of these bottles contain between 24.63ml and k ml

The machine is adjusted so that the standard deviation of the liquid put in the bottles is now 0.16ml

Following the adjustments, Hannah believes that the mean amount of liquid put in each bottle is less than 25 ml

She takes a random sample of 20 bottles and finds the mean amount of liquid to be 24.94ml

c.) Test Hannah's belief at the 5% level of significance. You should state your hypothesis clearly.

The Apparel Company makes expensive polo-style men's and women's short-sleeve knit shirts at its plant in Jamaica. The production process requires that material be cut into large patterned squares by operators, which are then sewn together at another stage of the process. If the squares are not of a correct length, the final shirt will be either too large or too small. In order to monitor the cutting process, management takes a sample of 4 squares of cloth every other hour and measures the length. The length of a cloth square should be 36 inches, and historically, the company has found the length to vary across an acceptable average of 2 inches.

Construct an R-chart for the cutting process using 3 sigma limits.

RAC has taken 10 additional samples with the following results:
