Title: Analyzing Bivariate Data

Objective: To understand the relationship between two variables and how to analyze bivariate data.

Background: Bivariate data involves two variables that are paired together. This type of data is useful when analyzing the relationship between two variables, and it is important to understand how to analyze this type of data to draw meaningful conclusions.

Tasks: 

1. Collect Data: Collect bivariate data for two variables of your choice. You can use data from a real-world scenario or create your own dataset.

2. Graphical Representation: Create a scatter plot to represent the data. Label the axes and include a title.

3. Correlation: Determine the correlation coefficient for the two variables using a calculator or spreadsheet program. Interpret the value of the correlation coefficient and explain what it tells you about the relationship between the two variables.

4. Line of Best Fit: Draw a line of best fit on the scatter plot. Explain what the line of best fit represents and how it is calculated.

5. Prediction: Use the line of best fit to make a prediction about one variable based on the other variable.

6. Outliers: Identify any outliers in the data and explain their impact on the correlation coefficient and the line of best fit.

7. Analysis: Based on the scatter plot, correlation coefficient, line of best fit, and any outliers, write a conclusion about the relationship between the two variables. Explain whether the relationship is positive, negative, or nonexistent and provide evidence to support your conclusion.

8. Real-world application: Describe a real-world scenario where the analysis of bivariate data could be useful.

Assessment:

You will be assessed on:

• Completeness and accuracy of the scatter plot, correlation coefficient, line of best fit, and conclusion.

Submission:

Submit a written report that includes the scatter plot, correlation coefficient, line of best fit, and conclusion. Also, include a brief explanation of the real-world scenario where bivariate data analysis could be useful.

Sure, I can help you with that. Here is an example of a bivariate data assignment aimed at senior secondary students from the Australian Curriculum1:

• Students are introduced to some methods for identifying, analyzing, and describing associations between pairs of variables, including using the least-squares method as a tool for modeling and analyzing linear associations.

• The content is to be taught within the framework of the statistical investigation process.

• Unit 3 has three topics: ‘Bivariate data analysis’, ‘Growth and decay in sequences’, and ‘Graphs and networks’.

Here are some questions that can help you create your assignment:

• What is bivariate data?

• What are some examples of bivariate data?

• What are some methods for identifying, analyzing, and describing associations between pairs of variables?

• What is the least-squares method?

• How can we use it as a tool for modeling and analyzing linear associations?

Title: Understanding Conditional Probability

Objective: To understand the concept of conditional probability and its real-world applications.

Background: Conditional probability is a type of probability that is used when the occurrence of one event affects the probability of another event. It is important to understand this concept to make informed decisions in various fields such as medicine, engineering, and finance.

Tasks:

1. Definition: Define conditional probability and provide an example of a real-world scenario where it could be applied.

2. Calculation: Calculate the conditional probability of two events using a given set of data. For example, given the data of a survey, calculate the probability of a person owning a smartphone given that they are between the ages of 18 and 30.

3. Proof: Prove Bayes' theorem using the formula for conditional probability.

4. Real-world application: Describe a real-world scenario where conditional probability is used to make an informed decision. Provide a detailed explanation of how conditional probability is applied in this scenario.

5. Historical usage: Describe a historical event where conditional probability played a significant role. Explain how it was used and its impact on the outcome.

Assessment:

You will be assessed on:

• Understanding and accuracy of the definition of conditional probability and real-world examples.

• Correctness of the calculation of conditional probability using data.

• Accuracy and completeness of the proof of Bayes' theorem.

• Creativity and clarity of the real-world application description.

• Quality of the historical usage description and its impact on the outcome.

Submission:

Submit a written report that includes the following:

• Definition of conditional probability and a real-world example

• Calculation of conditional probability using given data

• Proof of Bayes' theorem

• Real-world application description

• Historical usage description and its impact on the outcome

Real-world Application Example:

One of the most popular applications of conditional probability is in medical diagnosis. For example, in the diagnosis of breast cancer, doctors use conditional probability to determine the likelihood of a woman having breast cancer given that she has a lump in her breast.

In this scenario, the doctor calculates the conditional probability of breast cancer given the presence of a lump, using statistical data of previous breast cancer cases. This helps the doctor make an informed decision about whether to order further tests such as a mammogram or biopsy, and ultimately decide on a treatment plan.

Historical Usage Example:

One of the most well-known historical examples of conditional probability is the Monty Hall problem, named after the host of the game show "Let's Make a Deal". In this game show, the contestant is given a choice of three doors, one of which has a prize behind it. After the contestant makes their initial choice, the host, Monty Hall, opens one of the other doors to reveal that it does not have the prize behind it. The contestant is then given the option to stick with their initial choice or switch to the other unopened door.

The question is, does the contestant have a better chance of winning if they switch to the other door or stick with their initial choice? Using conditional probability, it can be shown that the contestant has a higher probability of winning if they switch to the other door. This problem has become a classic example of conditional probability and has been used to teach the concept to students and researchers for decades.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Conditional Probability Example 1: Suppose we have a bag containing five red balls and three blue balls. If we draw a ball at random and set it aside, and then draw another ball at random, what is the probability that the second ball is red given that the first ball was red? Solution: Since we set the first ball aside, we are left with four red balls and three blue balls. The probability that the second ball is red given that the first ball was red is therefore 4/7.

Example 2: Suppose we roll two dice. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 7 given that at least one of the dice is a 6? Solution: There are 11 possible outcomes where at least one die is a 6: (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (1,6), (2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (5,6), and (6,6). Of these 11 outcomes, 6 have a sum greater than 7: (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (1,6), and (2,6). Therefore, the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 7 given that at least one of the dice is a 6 is 6/11.

Practice Questions:

1. A jar contains 10 red balls and 8 blue balls. If one ball is drawn at random, what is the probability that it is red?

2. Suppose we roll two dice. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers is less than 7 given that the first number rolled is a 3?

3. A deck of cards contains 52 cards, 13 of which are hearts. If one card is drawn at random, what is the probability that it is a heart?

4. Suppose we have a bag containing 6 red balls and 4 green balls. If we draw two balls at random without replacement, what is the probability that both balls are green?

5. Suppose we flip a coin three times. What is the probability that we get two heads given that the first flip is a tail?

It ran out of room here, so we refined the prompts:

Lesson 2: Bayes' Theorem Example 1: Suppose a medical test is 95% accurate in detecting a certain disease, and 1% of the population has the disease. If a person tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that they actually have the disease? Solution: Let A be the event that a person has the disease and B be the event that a person tests positive for the disease. Then P(A) = 0.01, P(B|A) = 0.95, and P(B|A') = 0.05, where A' denotes the complement of A (i.e., the event that a person does not have the disease). By Bayes' theorem, we have P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A)/[P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|A')P(A')]. Substituting the given values, we get P(A|B) = 0.161.

Example 2: A jar contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. We draw one ball at random and note its color, and then replace the ball and draw another ball at random. What is the probability that the second ball is red given that the first ball was blue? Solution: Since we replaced the first ball, the second draw is independent of the first draw. Therefore, the probability that the second ball is red given that the first ball was blue is the same as the probability that a randomly chosen ball from the jar is red, which is 4/10 = 2/5.

Practice Questions:

1. A certain city has two taxi companies, A and B. Company A has 80% of the taxis, while company B has 20% of the taxis. Company A's taxis have a 90% chance of arriving within 10 minutes of being called, while company B's taxis have a 70% chance of arriving within 10 minutes of being called. If a person calls for a taxi and a taxi from company B arrives within 10 minutes, what is the probability that the taxi was from company B?

2. Suppose a certain disease is known to affect 1 in 10,000 people in a certain population. A test for the disease is 99% accurate, meaning that if a person has the disease, there is a 99% chance that the test will be positive, and if a person does not have the disease, there is a 99% chance that the test will be negative. If a person tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that they actually have the disease?

3. A certain factory produces two types of products, A and B. 60% of the products are type A and 40% are type B. Of the type A products, 5% are defective, while of the type B products, 10% are defective. If a randomly chosen product is defective, what is the probability that it is type A?

4. A deck of cards contains 52 cards, of which 12 are face cards (jacks, queens, and kings). If two cards are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that both cards are face cards given that the first card drawn was a face card?

5. A college has two departments, A and B. 60% of the students are in department A and 40% are in department B. Of the students in department A, 70% passed their last exam, while of the students in department B, 80% passed their last exam. If a randomly chosen student passed their last exam, what is

Lesson 3: Expected Value Example 1: A game involves flipping a fair coin twice. If the coin lands on heads both times, you win $4. If the coin lands on heads once and tails once, you win $1. If the coin lands on tails both times, you lose $3. What is the expected value of the game? Solution: Let X be the amount you win or lose in one game. Then the possible values of X are 4, 1, and -3, with probabilities of 1/4, 1/2, and 1/4, respectively. Therefore, the expected value of the game is E(X) = (4)(1/4) + (1)(1/2) + (-3)(1/4) = $1/2.

Example 2: A company produces two types of products, A and B. The profit per unit of product A is $8, while the profit per unit of product B is $10. The company can produce at most 600 units of product A and 400 units of product B. If the company sells all of the products it produces, what is the expected profit? Solution: Let X be the profit made by producing one unit of product A and Y be the profit made by producing one unit of product B. Then the total profit, Z, is given by Z = 600X + 400Y. The expected profit is E(Z) = 600E(X) + 400E(Y), where E(X) and E(Y) are the expected profits per unit of product A and B, respectively. Therefore, E(Z) = (600)(8) + (400)(10) = $8,800.

Practice Questions:

1. A game involves drawing a card at random from a standard deck of 52 cards. If the card is a spade, you win $3. If the card is a heart, you win $1. If the card is a diamond, you win $2. If the card is a club, you lose $1. What is the expected value of the game?

2. A company produces two types of products, X and Y. The profit per unit of product X is $7, while the profit per unit of product Y is $11. The company can produce at most 800 units of product X and 600 units of product Y. If the company sells all of the products it produces, what is the expected profit?

3. A certain stock has a 40% chance of increasing in value by $5, a 30% chance of decreasing in value by $3, and a 30% chance of remaining unchanged. What is the expected change in the value of the stock?

4. A company has three investment options, A, B, and C. Option A has a 30% chance of yielding a profit of $10,000, a 50% chance of yielding a profit of $5,000, and a 20% chance of yielding a profit of $0. Option B has a 20% chance of yielding a profit of $15,000, a 50% chance of yielding a profit of $8,000, and a 30% chance of yielding a profit of $1,000. Option C has a 10% chance of yielding a profit of $20,000, a 40% chance of yielding a profit of $10,000, and a 50% chance of yielding a profit of $5,000. What is the expected profit if the company chooses one of the options at random?

Lesson 4: Bayes' Theorem Example 1: A factory produces light bulbs. The quality control system detects 95% of the defective bulbs and misclassifies 1% of the good bulbs as defective. Suppose that 2% of the bulbs produced are defective. What is the probability that a bulb chosen at random is actually defective given that it was classified as defective by the quality control system? Solution: Let D be the event that a bulb is defective and C be the event that a bulb is classified as defective by the quality control system. Then we want to find P(D | C). By Bayes' Theorem, we have P(D | C) = P(C | D) * P(D) / P(C), where P(C | D) is the probability that a defective bulb is classified as defective, P(D) is the prior probability that a bulb is defective, and P(C) is the probability that a bulb is classified as defective. We are given that P(C | D) = 0.95, P(D) = 0.02, and P(C) = P(C | D) * P(D) + P(C | D^c) * P(D^c) = 0.95 * 0.02 + 0.01 * 0.98 = 0.0291. Therefore, P(D | C) = 0.95 * 0.02 / 0.0291 = 0.651.

Example 2: A certain medical test is 95% accurate for a certain disease. However, the disease occurs in only 0.1% of the population. If a person tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that he or she actually has the disease? Solution: Let D be the event that a person has the disease and C be the event that a person tests positive for the disease. Then we want to find P(D | C). By Bayes' Theorem, we have P(D | C) = P(C | D) * P(D) / P(C), where P(C | D) is the probability that a person with the disease tests positive, P(D) is the prior probability that a person has the disease, and P(C) is the probability that a person tests positive. We are given that P(C | D) = 0.95, P(D) = 0.001, and P(C) = P(C | D) * P(D) + P(C | D^c) * P(D^c) = 0.95 * 0.001 + 0.05 * 0.999 = 0.0509. Therefore, P(D | C) = 0.95 * 0.001 / 0.0509 = 0.0187.

Practice Questions:

1. A school has two classes of students, A and B. Class A has 40% of the students, of whom 30% are good at math. Class B has 60% of the students, of whom 70% are good at math. If a student is chosen at random from the school and is good at math, what is the probability that he or she is from class A?

2. A certain medical test is 98% accurate for a certain disease. However, the disease occurs in only 1% of the population. If a person tests negative for the disease, what is the probability that he or she actually does not have the disease?

3. A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. Three balls are chosen at random without replacement. What is the probability

Lesson 4: Bayes' Theorem Example 1: A certain disease occurs in 1% of the population. A test for the disease is 95% accurate, meaning that if a person has the disease, the test will correctly identify them as positive 95% of the time, and if a person does not have the disease, the test will correctly identify them as negative 95% of the time. If a person tests positive for the disease, what is the probability that they actually have the disease? Solution: Let A denote the event that a person has the disease, and B denote the event that the person tests positive for the disease. Then we want to find P(A|B), the probability that a person has the disease given that they tested positive. By Bayes' Theorem, we have: P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A) / [P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|A')P(A')], where A' denotes the complement of A (i.e., the event that a person does not have the disease). Substituting the given values, we get: P(A|B) = (0.95)(0.01) / [(0.95)(0.01) + (0.05)(0.99)] ≈ 0.16 Therefore, the probability that a person actually has the disease given that they tested positive is approximately 0.16.

Example 2: An electronics manufacturer produces two types of circuit boards, A and B. Type A circuit boards have a 5% defect rate, while type B circuit boards have a 10% defect rate. A quality control inspector selects a circuit board at random from the production line and tests it. If the circuit board passes the test, what is the probability that it is a type A circuit board? Solution: Let A denote the event that the selected circuit board is a type A circuit board, and let B denote the event that the circuit board passes the test. Then we want to find P(A|B), the probability that the circuit board is a type A board given that it passed the test. By Bayes' Theorem, we have: P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A) / [P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|A')P(A')], where A' denotes the complement of A (i.e., the event that the selected circuit board is a type B circuit board). Substituting the given values, we get: P(A|B) = (0.95)(0.95) / [(0.95)(0.95) + (0.90)(0.05)] ≈ 0.87 Therefore, the probability that the selected circuit board is a type A board given that it passed the test is approximately 0.87.

Practice Questions:

1. A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. A ball is drawn at random and then replaced. Another ball is then drawn at random. If both balls are blue, what is the probability that the first ball drawn was also blue?

2. A certain brand of light bulb has a 2% defect rate. A company produces two types of light bulbs, X and Y. Type X bulbs are 90% defect-free, while type Y bulbs are 95% defect-free. If a customer buys a light bulb at random and it is defect-free, what is the probability that it is a type Y bulb?
