Assignment II

1. The document contains 36 questions related to probability, statistics, and other quantitative topics. Questions cover topics like deriving formulas for binomial and Poisson distributions, finding probabilities and values for different distributions, and questions related to correlation, regression, and normal distributions. 2. Many questions ask to calculate probabilities, means, standard deviations, or other values given information about the distributions and variables. Other questions involve fitting regression lines to data and using them to estimate or predict values. 3. The questions cover a wide range of foundational statistical concepts and how to apply formulas and techniques to solve quantitative problems.
