Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Chapter 7.P1, Problem 6P

Vaccinated individual are protected from acquiring the disease and are, in effect, removed from participating in the transmission of the disease. Explain how an epidemic can be avoided by vaccinating a sufficiently large function ρ of the population, but it is not necessary to vaccinate the entire population.

A Miraculin—a protein naturally produced in a rare tropical fruit—can convert a sour taste into a sweet taste. Consequently, miraculin has the potential to be an alternative low-calorie sweetener. In Plant Science (May 2010), a group of Japanese environmental scientists investigated the ability of a hybrid tomato plant to produce miraculin. For a particular generation of the tomato plant, the amount x of miraculin produced (measured in micrograms per gram of fresh weight) had a mean of 105.3 and a standard deviation of 8.0. Assume that x is normally distributed. (a) Find P(x >120).

Ramp metering is a traffic engineering idea that requires cars entering a freeway to stop for a certain period of time before joining the traffic flow. The theory is that ramp metering controls the number of cars on the freeway and the number of cars OA. Yes, there appears to be a high outlier in the Meters Off data. B. Yes, there appears to be a low outlier in the Meters On data. OC. Yes, there appears to be a high outlier in the Meters On data. OD. No, there does not appear to be any outliers. (b) Are the ramp meters effective in maintaining a higher speed on the freeway? Use the a=0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Ho Hon Hoff H₁ Hon > Hoff OC. Ho Hon Hoff H₁ Hon Hoff # Determine the P-value for this test. *** P-value= (Round to three decimal places as needed.) OB. Ho Hon = Hoff H₁ Pon > Hoff O D.

Assume that a population of patients contains 30% of individuals who suffer from a certain fatal syndrome Z, which simultaneously makes it uncomfortable for them to take a life-prolonging drug X. Let Z = 1 and Z = 0 represent, respectively, the presence and absence of the syndrome, Y = 1 and Y = 0 represent death and survival, respectively, and X = 1 and X = 0 represent taking and not taking the drug. Assume that patients not carrying the syndrome, Z = 0, die with probability 0.5 if they take the drug and with probability 0.5 if they do not. Patients carrying the syndrome, Z = 1, on the other hand, die with probability 0.7 if they do not take the drug and with probability 0.3 if they do take the drug. Further, patients having the syndrome are more likely to avoid the drug, with probabilities p(X = 1|Z=0) = 0.9 and P(X = 1|Z = 1) = 0.6 . Based on this model, compute the joint distributions and for all values of x, y, and z. Present the following joint distributions in tables. [Hint:…
