The average size of a family is 3.14 people and the standard deviation is 1.25. Both distributions are skewed to the right. The most obvious difference is that there are households that consist of only one person and there are no families of only one person.b) Ex 4.55 The distribution on number of rooms in owner-occupied units appears to be more spread out than number of rooms in renter-occupied units. Stdo=1.64, Stdr=1.31.4, Ex 5.40 a). P(X=12)=0.8^12=0.068; 1-P(X=12)= 0.93 b). E(Y)=12*0.2=2.4; Std(Y)=sqrt(12*0.2*0.8)=1.385 c).

Since you make 62 with a + indication and 78 with a negative indication and there is a 50% chance of each (see the above table), the expected profit is 70.7, Extra Credit Consider First Parent’s Eye Colors. P (M is Blue and F is Blue) =1/4*1/4=1/16 Since P (M is B) = ¼, P (M is Blue and F is not Blue)=1/4*3/4=3/16 P (M is not Blue and F is not Blue) = ¾*3/4=9/16 Therefore M is B & F is BM is B & F is not BM is not B & F is BM is not B & F is not BChild is B 1/16 1/16 1/16 1/16 4/16Child is not B 0 2/16 2/16 8/16 12/161/16 3/16 3/16 9/16 1a) P (M is B and F is B)=1/16+3/16+3/16=0.4375 b) P (M is not B or F is not B or C is not B)=1-P(M is B and F is B and C is B) =1-(1/16)=0.9375 c) P (C is B | F is not B and M is B) = (1/16)/(9/16)=1/9 d) P (M is B or F is B) | C is B) = (1/16+1/16+1/16)/(4/16) =
