SCENARIO 5

Given below are the rating and performance scores of 15 laptop computers.

Performance 115 191 153 194 236 184 184 216

Score
Overall 74 78 79 80 84 76 77 92
Rating
Performance 185 183 189 202 192 141 187
Score
Overall 83 78 77 78 78 73 77
Rating

1. What is the sample covariance between the performance scores and the rating?\
Cov(X,Y)=∑(Xi−¯X)(Yi−¯Y)/n−1= 82.9644
2. What is the sample correlation coefficient between the performance scores and
the rating?
r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))= 0.6629
3. How will you classify the linear relationship between the performance scores and
the rating? Moderate positive linear
 SCENARIO 6

Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a very visible group whose focus is to educate the public
about the harm caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the
problem we all face with drinking and driving. Four hundred accidents that occurred on a
Saturday night were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and
whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:

Number of Vehicles
Involved
Did alcohol play a role?
1 2 3 Totals
Yes No Totals 50 100 20 170
25 175 30 230
75 275 50 400
1. What proportion of accidents involved more than one vehicle?
proportion of accidents involved more than one vehicle: (100+175+20+30) / 400.

The correct answer is: 325/400 or 81.25%

2. What proportion of accidents involved alcohol and a single vehicle?
proportion of accidents involved alcohol and a single vehicle (20+30) / 400.

The correct answer is: 50/400 or 12.5%

3. What proportion of accidents involved alcohol or a single vehicle?
proportion of accidents involved alcohol or a single vehicle (50 + 25 + 100 + 20) / 400.

The correct answer is: 195/400 or 48.75%

4. Given alcohol was involved, what proportion of accidents involved a
single vehicle?
proportion of accidents involved a single vehicle that alcohol was involved
50 / (50+100+20).
The correct answer is: 50/170 or 29.41%
5. Given that multiple vehicles were involved, what proportion of
accidents involved alcohol?

proportion of accidents involved alcohol that multiple vehicles were incovled: (100+30) /
(100+175+30+20).
The correct answer is: 120/325 or 36.92%
