Consider independent random variables X1, X2, and X3 such that
X1 is a random variable having mean 1 and variance 1, X2 is a
random variable having mean 2 and variance 4, and X3 is a random
variable having mean 3 and variance 9.
(a) Give the value of the variance of
X1 + (1/2)X2 + (1/3)X3
(b) Give the value of the correlation of Y = X1- X2 and Z = X2 +
X3.
Given here are the data from a dependent variable and two
independent variables. The second independent variable is an
indicator variable with several categories. Hence, this variable is
represented by x2, x3, and
x4. How many categories are there for this
independent
variable? Use a computer to perform a multiple regression analysis
on this data to predict y from the x values.
Discuss the output and pay particular attention to the dummy
variables.

If two random variables are independent, then their squares are
also independent random variables
If the joint pdf of a random vector factorises into the product
of functions of the single variables, then the random variables
that compose the vector are mutually independent
If the covariance between two random variables is zero, the
random variables are independent
If two random variables are independent, their correlation is
always zero
If X is independent from Y,...
Let ? and ? be two independent uniform random
variables such that
?∼????(0,1) and
?∼????(0,1).
A) Using the convolution formula, find the pdf
??(?) of the random variable
?=?+?, and graph it.
B) What is the moment generating function of ??
I am conducting ANOVA two ways tests. With two independent
variables and one independent variable.
the testing is about whether gender and income affect the
purchase.
after getting the result, how can I know which independent
variables that affect the most? and why?
Refresher on Variables:
Classifying variables as independent or dependent:
The independent variable is the one being
manipulated or grouped in the study for comparison. A tip to
remember this is to think that independent starts with “I” and I,
the researcher, manipulate that variable or have control over who
is grouped in the study. The way we will be using independent
variables in this course is in terms of between group analysis, so
our focus will be on groups being...
In the following cases, specify which of the two variables is the
independent variable and which is the dependent variable.
a. A rise the price of barley results in an increase in the
quantity of Canadian barley offered for sale.
The dependent variable is (Click to select)the
quantity of Canadian barley offered for salethe price of barley and
the independent variable is (Click to select)the price of barleythe
quantity of Canadian barley offered for sale.
b. The quantity of...
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...
Previously, you studied linear combinations of independent
random variables. What happens if the variables are not
independent? A lot of mathematics can be used to prove the
following: Let x and y be random variables with
means μx and
μy, variances
σ2x and
σ2y, and population
correlation coefficient ρ (the Greek letter rho). Let
a and b be any constants and let w =
ax + by for the following formula.
μw =
aμx +
bμy
σ2w =
a2σ2x +...
