Question
![3. Sir Harold Jeffreys, doesn’t like the way Fisher teaches statistics and decides to teach a class on ‘Bayesian Statistics’. Toward the end of the quarter, he also asks his students to form teams of 1 to 4 individuals to work on a group project. Let \( Y \) be the team size for a specific group project in Jeffreys’ class. The following table shows the cdf of \( Y \):
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
y & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
\hline
P(Y \leq y) & 0.12 & 0.38 & 0.75 & 1 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
(a) What is the probability that a team has two students in Jeffreys’ class?
(b) Compute the probability that a team in Jeffreys’ class has at least 2 students. Compared to Fisher’s from question 2, which class has a higher probability of having teams of at least two students?
(c) Compute the expected team size in Jeffreys’ class. Is it greater than the expected team size in Fisher’s class?
(d) Suppose that in the table of the cdf of \( Y \) the value of \( P(Y \leq 3) \) was missing, that is, suppose you saw the following table:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
y & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
\hline
P(Y \leq y) & 0.12 & 0.38 & ? & 1 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]
Would it be possible to retrieve \( P(Y \leq 3) \) by using the information available in the table? If yes, show how to do it, if not, briefly explain why.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/0f7b339a-5be8-4a61-96ee-9694aa84ae28/12cb1524-2cfe-4dd1-9a9d-126c0f3c123d/8e9h5gbf_thumbnail.png)

- Please assist with the following questions with the answers.arrow_forward#25). Both photos are the same problem.arrow_forwardA weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…arrow_forward
- Consider the following difference-in-differences estimator for the effect of a newgarbage incinerator on housing values. Rumor of a new incinerator being built in a townin Massachusetts began after 1978, and construction began in 1981. You have data onprices of houses that sold in 1978, and another sample of those that sold in 1981. Youdefine a dummy variable (y81) as equal to 1 if the house sold in 1981, and zero if thehouse sold in 1978. Your hypothesis is that the price of houses located near theincinerator will fall across those years relative to the price of more distant houses. Youdefine a house as being near the incinerator (nearinc) if it is within 3 miles of it. Housingprice (price) is measured in real terms, in 1978 dollars.
