The number of birth defects in a region is commonly modeled as having a binomial distribution, with a rate of four birth defects per 100 births considered a typical rate in the United States. What is the probability that a county that had 200 births during the year would have between 4 and 12 birth defects. Use both the binomial distribution and the Normal approximation with the appropriate continuity correction from the table below. Is the normal approximation reasonable?

1 (a) Discuss the two expressions -x;- )² and E(x;- )², both of which are used (n-1) i=1 to measure the spread of a set of observations x1, x2, . .., X. (b) A random sample of n observations is taken from a distribution; the sum of the observations is t, and the sum of the squares of the observations is 12. Explain how to estimate the mean and the variance of the distribution from which the random sample was taken. (c) Given the random sample described in part (b), write down expressions (based on 11 and t2) for estimates of the mean and variance of the mean of a further, independent, random sample of size m , from the original distribution. (d) Given that n = 25, 1, = 400 and t2 = 8800, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the distribution, and use it to test whether or not this mean could be 20.
For a highway, the car's speed has a uniform distribution [50,90]. Cars are stopped if speed X is greater than 70(mph). The price of a speeding ticket is equal to Y = 15 + (1/10)X(X-70). What is the probability that a stopped car is/was going faster than 85 mph? For each car stopped, the Var(X) is equal to what?
Suppose that the random change in value of a financial asset is X over the first day and Y over the second. Suppose also that Var(X) =18 and Var(Y) = 26 In this case, the total change in the value over these two days is given by X +Y. Do you have enough information to compute Var(X +Y)? If so, compute this value. If not, explain what additional information you need to do so.
