everything; be careful with endpoints.

for independence.
(iv) Sketch a picture to explain the relationship between p-value and the level of significance.
(v) What is Bayes rule and why is it useful?
(vi) Which of the following distributions of an estimator is unbiased? And which one is efficient?

the colors.

PRACTICAL PART (YOU NEED TO SCORE AT LEAST 50% TO PASS)
Problem 1 [10 points]
An urn contains five balls, two are red and three are blue. Randomly select two balls sequentially without replacement
and define events A: second ball is red, B: first ball is blue. a) compute P(A) and P(B), b) compute 𝑃(𝐴 ∩
𝐵) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃(𝐴|𝐵), c) Are A and B independent (prove or explain)?
A survey recently reported that the mean national annual expenditure for inpatient and outpatient services of all
persons over 64 years of age was $5,423 with a standard deviation of $979. A random sample of 352 persons over age
64 living in Sudbury had an average expense of $5,516. Assume that random variable of interest is normally distributed
and compute a 95% (2-sided) confidence interval for μ.
A sample of 40 speedometers of a particular brand is obtained, and each is calibrated to check for accuracy at 55 mph.
The resulting sample average and sample standard deviation are 53.8 and 1.3, respectively. Does the sample data
suggest that the true mean for this brand of speedometers is not accurate at 55 mph? Test at 1% significance level.
The following data give ages (in months) of 18 children at a day care: 36, 42, 18, 32, 22, 22, 25, 29, 30, 31, 19, 24, 35, 29,
26, 36, 24, 28. Compute the following sample characteristics: mean, standard deviation, mode, median and interquartile
range.
Suppose X and Y are continuous random variables with joint density function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 + 𝑦 on the unit square
[0, 1] × [0, 1]. Are X and Y independent?
