Question
Tories bookcase holds one algebra book one geometry book and 12 books about advanced engineering mathematics. Books are taken at random from her book case, one after another without replacement until an engineer book is had, at which no more books are taken. The random variable Z represents the total number of books taken during this experiment.

- Consider the following random experiment: we toss a two-sided coin (H on one side and T on the other side) n = 3616 times. In any given toss, the probability the coin comes up H is p = P(H) = 0.3. Each time the coin comes up H we give Tom 2 dollars and each time the coin comes up T we take from Tom 1 dollar (so Tom either gets 2 or gets -1, i.e., loses 1 dollar). How many dollars do we expect Tom will get on "average", i.e., per experiment?arrow_forwardSuppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0.

Compute ST, SSTR, and SE using the following computing formulas, where x, is the ith observation, n is the total number of observations, n; is the sample size for population j, and T; is the sum of the sample data from population j. SST = Ex? - (Ex)? /n, SSTR= E(T? /n) - (Ex)? /n, and SSE = SST-SSTR Compute the values required to find SST, SSTR, and SSE. n= Ex = Ex = E(T; /n) = (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Calculate SST, SSTR, and SSE using the computing formulas. SST = (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) SSTR= (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) SSE = (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Compare your results in part (a) for SSTR and SSE with the following results from the defining formulas.

She randomly selected five students in each of the 4 university programs and asked them to report what they earned the previous summer (in thousands of dollars). The following partially filled-in ANOVA table was obtained. Fill-in the rest of the table. (Use exact values for df and round all other numbers to 2 decimal places, if needed.)
