STAT 426 Assignment 1 Due Wednesday, January 25, 11:59 pm. Submit through Moodle. Name: SOLUTIONS Netid: (insert) Submit your computational work both as an R markdown (*.Rmd) document and as a pdf, along with any files needed to run the code. Embed your answers to each problem in the document below after the question statement. If you have hand-written work, please scan or take pictures of it and include in a pdf file, ideally combined with your pdf output file from R Markdown. Be sure to show your work. Problem 1 (10 pts) An exam has 40 multiple choice questions. Each question has 5 choices for the answer, exactly one of which is correct. Suppose for each question a student guesses one of the answers at random. (a) (2 pts) Specify the distribution (type, parameter values) of the student’s number of correct answers. Answer: Let Y = number of correct answers. Then Y ∼ Binomial(40, 0.20). In other words, the total number of correct answers is a binomial random variable with n = 40 independent trials and success probability p = 1 / 5 = 0 . 20 for each trial. (b) (2 pts) Find the mean and standard deviation of the distribution in (a). Answer: μ = E ( Y ) = 40 * 0 . 20 = 8 . 0 σ = V ar ( Y ) = (40 * 0 . 20 * 0 . 80) = √ 6 . 4 = 2 . 53 . (c) (2 pts) Compute the probability that the student gets at least 15 correct answers. (Hint: the R function “pbinom” may be helpful) Answer: 1

We want P ( Y ≥ 15) = 1 - P ( Y ≤ 14) . The exact numerical calculation is as follows: 1 - pbinom ( 14 , size= 40 , prob= 0.20 ) ## [1] 0.007915854 (Partial credit for using the normal approximation instead) (d) (2 pts) Suppose for each question the choices are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Specify the distribution of ( n 1 , n 2 , n 3 , n 4 , n 5 ) , where n j is the number of questions for which the student selected choice j , for j = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 (What kind of distribution, and what are the parameter values?). Answer: Each guess is a multinomial trial. Since each choice is equally likely and mutually exclusive the cell probabilities add to 1, so each equals 1 / 5 = 0 . 20 . Therefore ( n 1 , n 2 , n 3 , n 4 , n 5 ) ∼ Multinomial (40 , { 0 . 20 , 0 . 20 , 0 . 20 , 0 . 20 , 0 . 20 } ) . (e) (2 pts) Using formulas from the notes, find E ( n j ) , var ( n j ) , cov ( n j , n k ) and corr ( n j , n k ) for j = k . Answer: E ( n j ) = 40 * 0 . 20 = 8 var ( n j ) = 40 * 0 . 20 * 0 . 80 = 6 . 4 cov ( n j , n k ) = - 40 * 0 . 20 * 0 . 20 = - 1 . 6 corr ( n j , n k ) = cov ( n j , n k ) var ( n j ) var ( n k ) = - 1 . 6 6 . 4 = - 0 . 25 Problem 2 (10 pts) Let Y 1 , Y 2 , . . . , Y n be independent observations from the Poisson distribution with mean μ , which is unknown. Let Y = ∑ n i =1 Y i , and recall that this sum has a Poisson distribution with mean nμ . (a) (2 pts) Given Y 1 , Y 2 , . . . , Y n , and under the model assumptions in (a), find mathematical expressions for the likelihood, ( μ ) and log-likelihood, L ( μ ) , simplifying the expressions as much as possible.

The total budgeted cost of a project is 899,642 dollars. The project completion time is 21 weeks. The project is in its performing phase. At the end of week 14, the project team meets to evaluate the progress of the project. The project has consumed a total of 378,053 dollars and the project cumulative earned value is 468,994 dollars. From the project plan, the project cumulative budgeted cost is 407,137 dollars at the end of week 14. If the project continues to perform at the current cost performance index from now on, the project completion time is estimated to be weeks. Use at least 4 decimals.
