P(X=1)=0.4, P(X=5)=0.3, P(X=11)=0.1, P(X=15)=0.2
A. What is possible value of X? Write the distribution table for X.(5’)

B. What is the expected value, variance and standard deviation of X?(20’)

Suppose X is a random variable with binomial distribution b(6,0.6):
C. What is P(X=0), P(X=1), P(X=2), P(X=3), P(X=4), P(X=5), P(X=6), P(X=7)?(10’)

Problem 2 (50 points)
We know from data that the time that the age of teens are positive associated with their weight.
Your task is to report on the nature of this relationship.
X = the age of teens
= 16

Sx = 2

Y = the weight of teens
= 100

Sy = 40

r = 0.9
I.

Write down the equation of the regression line (10’)


III.

Suppose a teen is 15 years olds, what is the weight you expect him/her to have?(10’)

IV.
