<u>Answer:</u>

1 and 5 are correct.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1. The mean is affected by outliers. - TRUE

(the mean is the average so each of its values affect it.)

2. The mean is always a more accurate measure of center than the median. - FALSE

(the mean gives a better idea of the values while the the central values for normal distributions are described using the median value.)

3. Removing an outlier from a data set will cause the standard deviation to increase. - FALSE

(it makes the data set more normal by reducing the standard deviation, not increasing it. )

4. If the data set’s distribution is skewed, then 95%of its values will fall between two standard deviations of the mean. - FALSE

(the 68-95-99.9 rule works for the normal distribution, but the skewed distribution.)

5. If a data set’s distribution to skewed to the right, its mean will be larger than its median. - TRUE

(the mean is always pulled towards the direction of the skewness.)

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model $N (t)$ , the number of planets found up to time $t$ , as a Poisson process. So, the $N (t)$ has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter $(\lambda t)$

The mean for a month is, $\lambda = \frac{1}{3}$ per month

$E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8$

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

$Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8$

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

$\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828$

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have independent exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ . The sum of $K$ of these independent exponential has distribution Gamma $(K, \lambda)$ .
