Suppose an animal scientist, Dr. Dew believes that birth weight (in kg) explains the variationin the length of gestation (in days until birth) for various mammals. To support this fact, hecollected data and found out that when the birth weight was x =length of gestation was y =Hint: E;(xi – 2)² = 540, 916.8, E;(yi – 9)² = 195, 233, and E;(yi – ŷ)² = 181, 018.{60, 110, 44, 900, 107} the{122, 241, 61, 365, 617}. The fitted model was ĝ = 241.61+0.162x.a) Ignore the birth weight (x). If the length of gestation are independently and identicallydistributed (i.i.d.) with mean u and variance o?, what is the estimate for u and o?2,respectively?b) If you now use the birth weight (x) and assume that the length of gestation are (i.i.d.)with variance o? and mean µ = Bo + B1X. i) Compute the estimate for o?. (ii) Bycomparison to your estimate in part (a), what does this tell you about this model?

We have birth weight as X variable and length of gestation as Y variable. On this context, y =…

The Solomon Islands has average precipitation of 3028 mm per year. On a random week in Solomon Islands, what is the expected rainfall as measured in inches per week? Use your E(aX+b) formula, and the fact that 1 mm is equal to 0.0393701 inches, and there are 52.1429 weeks in a year. (Round your answers to two decimal places; ex: 1.23).
Suppose that fund-raisers at a university call recent graduates to request donations for campus outreach programs. They report the following information for last year's graduates. Size of donation Proportion of calls 0.40 $0 0.30 0.25 Three attempts were made to contact each graduate. A donation of $0 was recorded both for those who were contacted but declined to make a donation and for those who were not reached in three attempts. Consider the variable x = amount of donation for a person selected at random from the population of last year's graduates of this university. (a) Write a few sentences describing what donation amounts you would expect to see if the value of x was observed for each of 1,000 graduates. to donate $25, and roughly $10 $25 $50 (c) What is P(x ≥ 25)? You would expect roughly of the graduates to donate nothing, roughly frequencies would be close to, but not exactly, these values. The four frequencies would add to (d) What is P(x > 0)? 0.05 (b) What is the most…
The linguist George Kingsley Zipf (1902-1950) proposed a law that bears his name. In a typical English text, the most commonly occurring word is "the." We say that its frequency rankr is 1. The frequency f of occurrence of "the" is about f = 7%. That is, in a typical English text, the word "the" accounts for about 7 out of 100 occurrences of words. The second most common word is "of," so it has a frequency rank of r = 2. Its frequency of occurrence is f = 3.5%. Zipf's law gives a power relationship between frequency of occurrence f, as a percentage, and frequency rank r. (Note that a higher frequency rank means a word that occurs less often.) The relationship is f = cr-1, where c is a constant. (a) Use the frequency information given for "the" to determine the value of c. C = (b) The third most common English word is "and." According to Zipf's law, what is the frequency of this word in a typical English text? Round your answer to one decimal place. % (c) If one word's frequency rank is…

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.In a combined study of northern pike, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and lake trout, it was found that 34 out of 806 fish died when caught and released using barbless hooks on flies or lures. All hooks were removed from the fish. (a) Let p represent the proportion of all pike and trout that die (i.e., p is the mortality rate) when caught and released using barbless hooks. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower limit upper limit
