Stat 311 Quiz 2

1 This is an untimed quiz that must be completed and uploaded before the end of the window. This quiz is open Stat 311 notes, textbook, and homework/solutions only. All responses must be your own. If I suspect that you collaborated with other people or put down answers that match something you found on the internet, your quiz score will be zero and I will file a report with the Student Conduct office. By uploading your quiz to Gradescope, you are acknowledging that you adhered to the rules and academic conduct standards set by the University of Washington.

  • Unless specified otherwise, to receive credit you must show your work on all computations or give brief explanations, where appropriate.

o You will be graded only on the work you show.

o Partial credit may be given when you show the process used to solve a problem, even if your answer is incorrect.

o You only need to summarize answers in sentences where specified.

  • Any probabilities or quantiles can be found using R. When you use R, be sure to include the code and output.
  • All final numerical answers should be accurate to two decimal places (nearest hundredth); however, probabilities should be reported to four decimal places, if applicable
  • All intermediate calculations that are not probabilities should be accurate to at least three decimal places.
  • Do not forget units where applicable.
  • Read each problem carefully and follow directions. Make sure you answer the question that is asked.
  • When writing or typing out your solutions, please do NOT squish all your work together. Leave space between problems and the parts of each problem. Make your answers easy to read! If we cannot easily ready your work, it will not be graded.

The quiz consists of 9 multi-part problems. Each part of every problem is equally weighted. 2Problem 1 (1 point each): A junk box in your room contains 16 old batteries, 6 of which are dead. Define the random variable X = the number of working batteries in a sample of 4 batteries from the junk box.

  1. a) Name the distribution, with specific parameter values, which can be used to model X.
  2. b) Write out the correct formula, with specific numbers substituted, to find the probability that there is at most one working battery among the four sampled batteries. Do not solve.

Problem 3 (1 point each): A machine operation produces bearings whose diameters are normally distributed with πœ‡πœ‡ = 4.2 mm and 𝜎𝜎 = 0.08 mm. Use R to find probabilities and quantiles, as appropriate. For any problems where you use R, be sure to include the code and R output. Summarize each answer in a sentence in the context of the problem.

  1. a) If you randomly select one bearing from this population, what is the probability that the bearing has a diameter less than 4 mm?

  1. e) What is the probability that the mean bearing diameter exceeds 4.26 mm?
  2. f) Find the probability that a random sample of 20 bearings has a mean diameter of exactly 4.2 mm.

3Problem 4 (1 point each): Jerry and Jill are playing in a bowling tournament. Their scores vary as they play multiple games. Jerry’s scores, X, follow a 𝑁𝑁(πœ‡πœ‡ = 208, 𝜎𝜎 = 7) distribution. Jill’s scores, Y, vary from game to game according to a 𝑁𝑁(πœ‡πœ‡ = 200, 𝜎𝜎 = 9) distribution. Define a new random variable 𝐷𝐷 = 𝑋𝑋 – π‘Œπ‘Œ for a single game in the tournament.

  1. a) Assuming Jerry and Jill play independently, what is the distribution of D? Include the name of the distribution and the values of the parameters. Show your work.

Problem 5 (1 point each): A study concluded that among people infected with Cytomegalovirus (CMV), 98.1% of tests were correctly positive, while for people not infected with the virus, 97.6% of the tests were correctly negative. We also know that 20% of people carry the virus.

  1. a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person tests negative for CMV?
  2. b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person testing negative for CMV is truly CMV free?

Problem 7 (1 point each): The number of typos per page in a certain printing of a novel has an average of 1.2 typos/page. Let 𝑋𝑋 be the number of typos in a random selection of 7 pages and assume 𝑋𝑋 follows a Poisson distribution.

  1. a) Specify the values of any parameters for the distribution of 𝑋𝑋.
  2. b) Write out the formula, with numbers substituted, to calculate the probability that you observe at least three typos in a random selection of 7 pages, but do not solve. (1 point)

4Problem 8 (1 point each): A test consists of 32 multiple choice questions with five choices for each question. As an experiment, you GUESS on each answer without even reading the questions. Define X to be the number

of questions you get correct based on guessing and assume X follows a binomial distribution. Use this

information to answer parts (a) and (b). Include units where appropriate.

  1. a) Find πœ‡πœ‡ 𝑋𝑋 .
  2. b) Which of the options below is the exact probability that you guess correctly on at least 14 questions?

Problem 9 (1 point each): A game is played in two steps. First you flip an unfair coin with 𝑃𝑃(𝐻𝐻) = 0.6. If you get heads, you draw a marble from an Urn that has 6 red marbles and 4 blue marbles. If you get tails, you flip the coin again.

  1. a) What is the sample space for this two-step game?
  2. b) Let 𝐴𝐴 be the event the outcome has a tail. What is the probability of event 𝐴𝐴?

PERSONAL CHANGE PROJECT (50% of grade, 4-6 pages double spaced)

This is an individual project in which you will identify a desired personal change to implement during, and in the weeks following, the course. This will require you to put your plan in place, track progress, and evaluate success.

1) a leadership statement of no more than two lines at the beginning;
LEADERSHIP STATEMENT: β€œWe will all move forward together, step by step, slow or fast.”

2) description of your change initiative in relation to your leadership statement (about one page)
-You will identify an area you aim to change or improve in the near future, AND explain why this change is important compared with other areas of consideration

3) a reflection story about a personal change you attempted in the past (one page or slightly beyond). This includes detailing your key learnings about your personal strengths and weaknesses in implementing this change, and takeaways for dealing with your future change initiatives. This part is ideally leadership related but not necessary. Please note that this part of the paper focuses on a PAST experience (i.e., something you actually did), not to talk about leadership and your future plan in general. You are encouraged to incorporate information you have received during the course (e.g., reflections from class exercises and discussions, and feedback from group members, as well as including information from outside the course (e.g., previous leadership assessments, and external feedback you have received).
-The paper should include reference to relevant literature to support your analysis and arguments.

LEADERSHIP CHANGE RECOMMENDATION (50% of grade, 4 pages double spaced)
In this individual assignment, you need to identify a leader, either a supervisor/senior leader in your current/former organization or someone you know from public sources. Please try to provide a comprehensive evaluation of his/her leadership, particularly the attributes/perspectives that we discussed in the class. You will then identify 1-2 aspects that you believe the leader needs to change for the benefits of the organization. The demonstrated capability of evaluating someone’s leadership skills, together with your skill of presenting your evaluation, is key to your performance in this assignment.
