Homework   Problems Key  Due  Date
Intro to WebAssign WebAssign only. This problem set is optional, but I strongly recommend that you do it to get familiar (re-familiar) with how to submit answers on WebAssign. It is not worth any points even though there are points assigned. I also suggest that you start on the Syllabus assignment which is due on Friday. There are a lot of parts to this problem set. N/A  Wednesday
 June 18
1 #1: Consider a population that consists of power transformers and focus on the lifetime after being exposed to high winds (like that occur in a hurricane or tornado) intermittently for 1 month. Be sure to state your assumptions and/or any observations required for each part. (Hint: see question 1.3, p.12) a) Pose two (2) probability questions based on selecting a sample of 10 of the power transformers. b) Pose one inferential statistics question that might be answered by determining the lifetime from 10 of these transformers? hint: see question 1.3, p. 9) #2: Using the situation described in question 1.6, p.12, answer the following questions: a) Which sampling technique would best be employed? Why? (There is no right or wrong answer to this question; it will be graded on your explanation) b) What is a common pitfall in determining the sample? Explain your answer in terms of the context of this example. #3: "Construct a dotplot of the reduced data set for the number of touchdown passes thrown in the NFL in 1998 (Slide 10 Chapter 1: Example 2: Comparison Stem-and-Leaf)."
