a. Calculate the rank correlation coefficient.



b. Test the hypothesis @ .05 level of significance.

The probability density function of two random variables is f(x1,x2)=e-(x1+x2) x1>0 , x2>0 given that y=x1/(x1+x2)what is the probability density function of variabley



There is a bag filled with 5 blue and 4 red marbles.

A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced.

Another marble is taken at random.

What is the probability of getting 2 reds?



The mean lifetime of the light bulbs produced by Volta Corporation is 1705 hours with a population standard  deviation of 150 hours. The CEO of the company claims that a new production process has led to an increase in  the mean lifetimes of the light bulbs. If Jeremy tested 130 bulbs made from the new production process and found  that their mean lifetime is 1650 hours, test the hypothesis that the mean is not equal to 1705 hours using the level of significance of 0.10.



On average, an insurance company receives 6 claims between 14:00 and 16:00 on a particular day. What is the probability that the company receives exactly 17 claims between 08:00 and 16:00?

question2:

Force (N) 0 20 40 60 80

Length (mm) 22 110 215 330 410

Use the table of measurements of length and

force that you have been supplied with to

complete the following activities:

(a) Draw a scatter graph for your given data.

Describe what the scatter graph is indicating.

(b) Use the scatter graph to estimate the

length for a force of 57N

(c) Calculate the line of regression of

extension on force (Y on X)

(d) Calculate the regression coefficient

(e) Explain what the regression coefficient

indicates?

(f) Use the equation for the line of regression

to predict the length for a force of 57N

(g) Compare the calculated value with the

value that you have determined from the

scatter graph.

1. Use the ungrouped data that you have been

supplied with to complete the following:

(a) Arrange the data into equal classes

(b) Determine the frequency distribution

(c) Draw the frequency histogram

(d) Create a cumulative frequency table for

the data

(e) Draw the cumulative frequency graph

(f) Use your cumulative frequency graph to

determine if the data is normally distributed

or not?

(g) Calculate: i) the mean and standard

deviation; li) the upper and lower quartile

values; and ili) the interquartile range for the

given data.


Suppose that the mean weight of school children’s bookbags is 17.41 pounds, with a standard deviation of 2.2 pounds. Find the probability that the mean weight of a sample of 30 bookbags will exceed 17 pounds.


Many things closely follow a normal distribution. Give five examples of real-life data which follow this type of pattern. Example: heights of people
