Using the linearization method, find the dependence of the expectation and variance of the random variable T on m if N, P and 2 are independent random variables, whose expectations and variances are: M[N] = 5, M[P] = 0.8, Μ[Ω] = 4, D[N] = 1, D[P] = 0.1, D[P] = 0.2.arrow_forwardSuppose IQ scores were obtained for 20 randomly selected sets of siblings. The 20 pairs of measurements yield x=104.18, y=105.25, r=0.892, P-value=0.000, and y=17.77+0.84x, where x represents the IQ score of the younger child. Find the best-predicted value of y given that the younger childhas an IQ of 108? The best-predicted value of y is?arrow_forward

He suspects that either the hamsters will run less during the winter to conserve energy or they will run more to keep warm. He records the activity of n = 16 hamsters during June, July, and August and compares their running-wheel revolutions per hour to the activity of the same hamsters during December, January, and February. The data are collected, and the results show an average difference score of MDD = 3.8 and a sum of squares of SS = 522.15.
