Chapter 5.7, Problem 89E
In Exercise 5.1, we determined that the joint distribution of Y1, the number of contracts awarded to firm A, and Y2, the number of contracts awarded to firm B, is given by the entries in the following table.
Find Cov(Y1, Y2). Does it surprise you that Cov(Y1, Y2) is negative? Why?
5.1 Contracts for two construction jobs are randomly assigned to one or more of three firms. A, B, and C. Let Y1 denote the number of contracts assigned to firm A and Y2 the number of contracts assigned to firm B. Recall that each firm can receive 0, 1, or 2 contracts.
- a Find the joint probability
function for Y1 and Y2. - b Find F(1, 0).

In a study of a group of women science majors who remained in their profession and a group who left their profession within a few months of graduation, the researchers collected the data shown here on a self-esteem questionnaire.
Leavers Stayers1 = 3.05 2 = 2.92σ1 = 0.71 σ2 = 0.71n1 = 100 n2 = 227At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the self-esteem scores of the two groups? Use the P-value method.
A group of high-risk automobile drivers (with three moving violations in one year) are required, according to random assignment, either to attend a traffic school or to perform supervised volunteer work. During the subsequent five-year period, these same drivers were cited for the following number of moving violations:

Why might the Mann–Whitney U test be preferred to the t test for these data?
Use U to test the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance.
Specify the approximate p-value for this test result.
