1) Students were asked to collect shoe sizes of 100 students and analyze differences between male and female distributions using measures of center, spread, and graphs. They concluded males generally had larger shoe sizes than females.
2) Students collected car color data from 3 faculty parking lots. They calculated relative frequencies and probabilities for black and silver cars in each lot and combined. Probabilities may have changed with the full data.
3) Students calculated probabilities of distributions for grades of 9 randomly selected past subjects of one group member, rounded to single letters. Probabilities included 4 As, 5 Bs, 3 Cs, and 1 D.

BITI 2233 STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
ASSIGNMENT 1 (30 marks) - 10% INSTRUCTIONS: a) This assignment must be done in a group of 3 members. b) Use R software (R Studio) to complete this assignment. c) There is only one submission for this assignment (hardcopy). Put all your R code, commands, answers and respective graph in the report. Please include names of each member and any relevant details. Each figure in the report must be properly titled. Submission is by hardcopy. d) The due date is on Week 8. Please refer to your lecturer for the exact due date. Any late submission will be penalized. e) Do not copy other groups’ work or allow your group work to be copied. This could be resulted to zero marks for your assignment.
QUESTION 1 (10 marks):
Collect the shoe size of 100 students in FTMK. Construct the frequency table, calculate the sample means, median, mode, variances, standard deviation and draw a graph to summarize any features that draw a distinction between the distributions of shoe sizes for males and females. Based on the summary, what can you conclude regarding difference between males and females in shoe size?
QUESTION 2 (10 marks):
Collect the color of 20 different cars in FTMK, FKE and FKEKK parking lot. a) Calculate the relative frequency distribution for color of the car for each faculty. b) What is your estimated probability of randomly picking a black for each faculty? c) What is your estimated probability of randomly picking a silver car for each faculty? d) Redo the a-c for the whole data. Did the estimates change? Discuss.
QUESTION 3 (10 marks):
Pick one member from your group. Select all of his/her past subjects with their grade. Please note that the grade is ‘rounded’ to the single letter only (e.g B minus or B plus is considered as B). If you randomly select nine subjects, what is the probability that: a) Four of the nine subjects get As? b) Five of the nine subjects get Bs? c) Three of the nine subjects get Cs? d) One of the nine subjects get Ds?
