Mathematics Department Tutorial Sheet No. 3 MAL250(Probability and Stochastic Processes) 1. The percentage of alcohol (100X ) in a certain compound may be considered as a random variable‚ where X (0 < X < 1) has pdf fX (x) = 20x3 (1 − x)‚ 0 < x < 1. Suppose that the selling price of the above compound depends on the alcohol contents. Specifically‚ if 1/3 < X < 2/3‚ the compound sells for c1 dollars/gallon otherwise it sells for c2 dollars/gallon. If the cost is c3 dollars/gallon‚ find the probability

like it‚ color‚ etc. The manager of the women’s dresses department recalls from her statistics class in college that the Poisson distribution might describe such events. A random sample of 150 days is taken. The number of returns per day in the sample as well as the observed frequencies are shown below: NARREND 4. She tests the hypothesis that returns per day are Poisson distributed with a population mean equal to 1.90. Her significance level is 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses

1. Introduction * Explain how it is possible to estimate the partial effect of the exogenous variables‚ even if ceteris paribus assumption is false. We can estimate the partial effect of the exogenous variables‚ even if ceteris paribus assumption is false. It is possible by estimating parameters of the linear model. It let us get results‚ which we could obtain by comparing observations which do differ in values of one explanatory variable. That way we can estimate the effect on variable yicausedby
