Q. In this question, you will do some resampling and show results in graphics. This is related to bootstrap technique. The population distribution is a normal with µ = 10 and σ^2 = 4. The statistic is the sample mean. Hence in theory we know exactly what the density function of the sample mean is.
(a) Simulate a sample, say x, with sample size n=100. Report its mean, sd, min, and max.
(b) Use R functions sample and replicate to resample x 50000 times with replacement. The statistic is the sample mean and the output is booted.data. Find the mean, sd, min, and max of booted.data.
(c) Plot the histogram of booted.data. Please double the cells of histogram since the default one is too small. Please plot as a density plot since the theoretical density will be added in the next step. Comment the shape and center of this distribution.
(d) Plot the histogram of booted.data-mean(x) with twice number of default cells. Please plot as a density plot. Add the theoretical density function of the X¯ −µ to the histogram with different line type and color. Comment out your findings.
(e) Repeat the procedures from (a) to (d) two additional times to check consistency.

A sample study of 35 students showed a mean of 11 times with a standard deviation of 3 times. A. What is the population mean, using a 99 percent confidence interval? B. What can be concluded from the results? C. What is the population mean, using a 95 percent confidence interval? D. What can be concluded from the results?

You wish to test the claim that fewer than 33% of households in a certain city own pets.
[3 points] Give the null and alternate hypotheses.
[2 points] Is the test right-tailed, left-tailed or two-tailed?
The P-value was found to be 0.0673,
Choose using a significance level of 5%:
Reject the null hypothesis or Fail to reject the null hypothesis
Give the conclusion about the claim in an English sentence in the context of the scenario.
A person wants to open a pet supply store in the city, but not if fewer than 33% of the city’s households have pets, Based on your conclusion, should the person open the store?

Researchers are interested in comparing the depression scores (measured on a scale of 1-100) of patients diagnosed with clinical depression before and after they have participated in a new exercise regimen. They take a random sample of 5 people who report low levels of exercise and measure their depression scores. They then have these 5 patients complete a 4-week exercise regimen and measure their depression scores after the 4 weeks. Results of analysis are presented in the table below.
Participant ID | Depression score before the 4-week exercise regimen | Depression score before the 4-week depression exercise regimen |
A | 78 | 69 |
B | 87 | 82 |
C | 57 | 56 |
D | 62 | 63 |
E | 74 | 72 |
Your research question of interest is:
Is there a difference in the mean depression score of patients before and after they participate in the 4- week exercise regimen?
You are informed the estimated standard error of the mean differences (s) is 1.74
You will use the information above to complete the question parts below for a two related samples t-test.
Part A: Which of the following represents the appropriate null hypothesis (H0), given this research question of interest?
Part B: Which of the following represents the appropriate alternative hypothesis (H1), given this research question of interest?
Part C: Which of the following represents the appropriate critical value(s), testing at an alpha level (α) of 0.05?
Part D: What is the t-statistic associated with your test? (rounded to the nearest hundredth) - see note above for the value of the standard error of the mean differences.
Part E: Given your test results, what is your decision about the null hypothesis?
Part F: The best interpretation of the appropriate decision regarding the null hypothesis would be: "Based on our study, we (Have/Have not)
enough evidence to conclude that there appears to be a difference in the population mean depression score before and after a 4 week exercise regimen."

lesson 40 homework study of different in tow population proportions
Sam claims that the proportion of all males who have been locked out of their houses is less than the proportion of females who have been locked out of their houses in the last three years. Sam found that 135 out of 300 randomly selected males had locked themselves out of their houses within the last three years. Also, he found that 220 out of 400 randomly selected females had locked themselves out of their houses in the last three years.
Test Sam's claim at the 1% significance level.

Suppose Ari loses 31 % of all ping dash pong games . (a) What is the probability that Ari loses two ping dash pong games in a row? (b) What is the probability that Ari loses six ping dash pong games in a row? (c) When events are independent, their complements are independent as well. Use this result to determine the probability that Ari loses six ping dash pong games in a row, but does not lose seven in a row.
(a) The probability that Ari loses two ping dash pong games in a row is . 0961 . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (.31)^2
(b) The probability that Ari loses six ping dash pong games in a row is . 0009 . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (.31)^6
(c) The probability that Ari loses six ping dash pong games in a row, but does not lose seven in a row is nothing . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Use the tree diagram technique that can be found in Lecture 12 to solve this problem. Suppose that 50% of all people who take a pregnancy test are, in fact, pregnant. A certain pregnancy test is known to identify 95% of pregnancies with a positive test result. However, 2% of people who are not pregnant will have a positive test result.
Find the following probabilities:
a. What is the probability that someone is pregnant and tests positive?
b. What is the overall probability of a positive test result?
c. If a woman has a positive test result, what is the probability that she is actually pregnant?

A box contains 5 chips marked 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. One chip is drawn at random, the number on it is noted, and the chip is replaced. The process is repeated with another chip. Let X1, X2, X3 and X4 the outcomes of the three draws which can be viewed as a random sample of size 4 from a uniform distribution on integers.
