Happy Saturday!

For this week's assignment,  we are going to evaluate and explain the function called myMean.

Answer to question A:

 The function "myMean" calculates the arithmetic mean (average) of a numeric vector. The process of the function is quite simple and very useful in many applications.

Firstly, the sum of all values is computed in the vector by using the "sum(assignment)" function. Afterwards, the result/total is then divided by the number of elements present in the vector by utilizing the "length(assignment) function.

This returns the value as the result. In all honesty, I've noticed that the function "myMean" is essentially the same operation as the "mean()" function in R, but you manually compute the average of the data values.

  Module 3 Assignment Question A The following are two sets of data - each consist of 7 observations (n=7). Set#1:  10, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5 Set#2:  20, 12, 13, 12, 14, 12, 15 A1 . For each set, compute the mean, medium, and mode under Central Tendency A2 . For each set, compute the range, interquartile, variance, and standard deviation under Variation A3 . Compare your results between set#1 vs. set #2 by discussing the differences between the two sets. A1: Central Tendency Set 1: Mean:4 Median: 3 Mode: 2     Set 2: Mean: 14 Median: 13 Mode: 12  A2: Variation Set 1: Range: 8 Quartiles  Q1: 2 Q3: 5  Interquartile Range: 3 Variance: 8.67 Standard Deviation: 2.94 Set 2: Range: 8 Quartiles Q1: 12 Q3: 15  Interquartile Range: 3 Variance: 8.67 Standard Deviation: 2.94 A3: Comparison By analyzing and comparing both datasets, I noticed that they both have the same spread. This is conveyed by the fact that they have the same values for the range, i...

  Module 5. Assignment: Some things to note before starting this assignment: Question A: A1:  State the null and alternative hypothesis _______ Given that: H0 = 70 σ = 3.5 n = 49 x̄ = 69.1 H0  = 70 H1 =/ 70 A2:   Is there evidence that the machine is not meeting the manufacturer's specifications for average strength? Use a 0.05 level of significance _______  I believe there isn't evidence regarding the machine not meeting the manufacturer's requirements, we have the values to compute this. To test this, we need to use the formula first: z = ( x̄-H0)/(σ/(sqrt(n)))  -> (69.1-70)/(3.5/(sqrt(49))) = -1.8 Now, we need to use this formula: Two-tailed p-value = p = 2 * pnorm(z) A3:  Compute the p value and interpret its meaning _______     As we can see, our p-value is 0.071861 = 0.072. This means that p > alpha (0.072 > 0.05). Therefore, We fail to reject the null hypothesis, meaning there isn't enough evidence that the machin...

  Module 4. Assignment: Question A:         A1: What is the probability of event A? P_Total = 10 + 20 + 20 + 40 = 90 P(A) = (10 + 20)/90 = 30/90 = 3/9 = 1/3 = 0.333333...  A2: What is the probability of event B? P(B) = (10   + 20)/90 = 30/90 = 3/9 = 1/3 = 0.333333... A3: What is the probability of event A or B? P(A   ∩     B) = 10/90 = 1/9 = 0.1111 P(A  ∪ B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A  ∩  B) = 1/3 + 1/3 - 1/9 = 5/9 = 0.5556 A4: What is the probability of   P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)? P(A or B) = P(A   ∪ B) P(A   ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) only if they're mutually exclusive. However, since they are not mutually exclusive, that means they overlap. Therefore, the probability of it happening is zero. Question B: What is the probability that it will rain on the day of Jane's wedding? P(rain) = 5/365 P(forecast rain | rain) = 0.9 P(forecast rain | no rain) = 0.1 P(rain |   forecast rain) = ((5/365)(0.9))/((5/365)(0/9)) + ((36...
