Answer: D. There is a strong negative association between the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when the value of the correlation coefficient lies between -1 to -.05 , then we say there is strong negative correlation between the variables.

When the value of the correlation coefficient lies between 0.5 to 1, then we say there is strong positive correlation between the variables.

Given : In one study, it was found that the correlation coefficient between two variables is -0.93.

∵ -1< -0.93 <-0.5

Then , it indicates that there is a strong negative association between the variables.

For X a binomial random variable with n=5 and p=1/4, answer the following

mash [69]

Recall that for $X\sim\mathrm{Bin}(n,p)$ , i.e. a random variable $X$ following a binomial distribution over $n$ trials and with probability parameter $p$ ,

$\mathbb P(X=x)=f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dbinom nx p^x(1-p)^{n-x}&\text{for }x\in\{0,1,\ldots,n\}\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

So you have

$\mathbb P(X=2)=\dbinom52\left(\dfrac14\right)^2\left(1-\dfrac34\right)^{5-2}=\dfrac{135}{512}\approx0.26$

$\mathbb P(2\le X\le4)=\displaystyle\sum_{x=2}^4\mathbb P(X=x)$
$=\dbinom52\left(\dfrac14\right)^2\left(1-\dfrac14\right)^{5-2}+\dbinom52\left(\dfrac14\right)^3\left(1-\dfrac14\right)^{5-3}+\dbinom52\left(\dfrac14\right)^4\left(1-\dfrac14\right)^{5-4}$
$=\dfrac{375}{1024}\approx0.37$

The expected value of $X\sim\mathrm{Bin}(n,p)$ is simply $np$ , while the standard deviation is $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ . In this case, they are $\dfrac54=1.25$ and $\sqrt{\dfrac{15}{16}}\approx0.97$ , respectively.
