2b. It is thought that 20% of Annual Tax returns to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) contain
errors of one kind or another. An auditor in the ATO investigating the number of returns
with errors in a particular industry takes a sample of 25 returns and classifies each return as
being “in error” or “not in error”.
i. If the variable X is used to represent the number of returns in the sample that are in
error, and assuming this industry is no different to other industries in terms of the error
rate, then state:
• the values that X may take;
• the distribution of this variable; and
• the parameter/s of this distribution.
ii. Determine the
The auditor found that there were 13 tax returns with errors in this sample.
iii. Determine the probability of finding 13 or more returns with errors if indeed the error
rate was 20%.
iv. Based upon your answer for part iii., what conclusion might the auditor make about this
particular industry in terms of the error rate of returns. Say in a full sentence exactly
what led you to this conclusion.

The dataset butterfat in the package faraway contains the average butterfat content (percent- ages) of milk for random samples of twenty cows, ten two-year old and ten mature (greater than four years old), from each of five breeds. Therefore, for each combination of breed and age categories, there are ten observations. The data are from Canadian records of pure-bred dairy cattle. Questions of interest are (i) if butterfat content differs with age and/or breed, and (ii) if any potential breed effect is the same for the two age groups. (a) Make appropriate plots of the data and comment on them. (b) Determine an appropriate model, and write it down mathematically, to answer the questions of interest. What are your conclusions?

Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. e) Suppose the relative frequency distribution for the data is bell-shaped, then what percentage of observations are more than 18.2?
