The article "Behavioural Effects of Mobile Telephone Use During Simulated Driving"† reported that for a sample of 20 experimenta

l subjects, the sample correlation coefficient for x = age and y = time since the subject had acquired a driving license (yr) was 0.97. Why do you think the value of r is so close to 1? (The article's authors give an explanation.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size N is equal to 20 experimental subjects (small sample size). Sample correlation coefficient r = 0.97

The variables are:

X = Age of subject (in years)

Y = Time since subject acquired a driving license (in years)

The general reason why the value of r for 2 variables will be very close to 1 is that the magnitude of the effect of the phenomenon-of-interest (behavioural effects of mobile telephone use during simulated driving) is very large.

r = 0.97 is a positive figure also. This implies that the phenomenon-of-interest in variable X and in variable Y move in the same direction or increase simultaneously.

For the r of 0.97, the behavioural effect of mobile telephone use during simulated driving as related to the age of the experimental subjects, IS ALMOST THE SAME MAGNITUDE as the behavioural effect of mobile telephone use during simulated driving as related to the time (in years) since subjects acquired a driving license.

This is the reason why the correlation coefficient here is very close to 1.

Answer:

r is very close to 1 because there is a very concrete relationship between the variables x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x = age,

y = time since the subject had acquired a driving licence.

We want to know why the correlation of these variables is so close to 1.

Correlation of these variables is the mutual relationship between the two variables.

Drivers licence is only obtainable when one comes of age.

For example: Many countries don't issue drivers license to an individual below the age of 18.

The correlation is very close to 1 because there is a concrete relationship between the variable.

Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of single bedroom apartments is 90;

The number of single occupants in that 90 is 64;

64/90 or 32/45 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a 1 bedroom apartment.

The number of multiple bedroom apartments is 110;

The number of single occupants in that 110 is 12;

12/110 or 6/55 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a multiple-bedroom apartment.

The rate of single occupants in any type of apartment is 76/200 or 19/50

32/45>19/50>6/55; since the rate of single occupants in 1 bedroom apartments is higher than the rate of single occupants living in any type of apartment and a multiple-room apartment, the event that an apartment has 1 bedroom and 1 occupant is not indepenent.

Answer:

The probability that there will be repair exactly 3 toaster is 0.0574.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial Distribution:

A discrete random variable X having the set {0,1,2,3......,n} as the spectrum, is said have a binomial distribution with parameter n= number of trials and p=probability of number of success on an individual trial, if the p.m.f (probability mass function) of X given by,

P(X=x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}    x=0,1,2,......,n

               =0                                   elsewhere

where 0<p<1 and n is a positive integer.

Total number of toaster in cartons(n) = 10.

Probability of number of success on an individual trial p= 10% = 0.10

\therefore P(X=3)= C(10,3)(0.10)^3(1-0.10)^{10-3}

                    =\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}(0.10)^3)(0.90)^7

                    =0.0574

The probability that there will be repair exactly 3 toaster is 0.0574.
