Q1 Getting Confident with Confidence Intervals Our blood oxygen level is becoming increasingly important to us as a metric for early detection of COVID-19 infection. The blood oxygen levels of a healthy person (in %) are approximately normally distributed with unknown mean 0 and a standard deviation of 3%. A group of six random healthy people come in so doctors could measure their blood oxygen levels to get an estimate for the true mean. The doctor takes readings of each of the six patients and found that the average (blood oxygen level from the six readings) was 88.2%. What's a 90% confidence interval for the true mean blood oxygen level (call it 0)? Let's find out together!

A new laptop was about to be released in the market. It is out for some alpha testing. The manufacturer decided to select 9 random testers and asked them about the battery life of their laptop. The average battery life of the laptop used by the 9 testers were 6.8 hours, with a standard deviation of 1.2. Construct a 99.5% confidence interval.
Medical records show a sample population of 1000 people, of those 1000 people, 98% do not have a terminal illness and 2% do have a terminal illness. A Health Insurance company would like try out a new cheaper test for terminal illness. Their results show that 98% of the people that do have a terminal illness test positive, while 1% of the people who do not have a terminal illness test positive for one. A corporation known as Ken’s Kids is concerned about patients that are slipping through the cracks with this new medical testing. If the new medical testing is adopted, what % of the people will be misdiagnosed as not having a terminal illness, but really have one? Assuming a population of 200 million people, how many people that have a terminal illness, given this new testing will never know that they do? (Please show all work , and have a legend for symbols).
Approximately what percentage of people would have scores lower than an individual with a z-score of 1.65 in a normally distributed population? Approximately 95% 50% Approximately 5% Not possible to calculate (mean and standard deviation are not given)
A group of researchers conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of a new teaching method for a particular subject. They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?
Imagine you are an avid movie goer and you prepared a list of n movies you are considering watching. As a thorough researcher, you prepared a list of k friends, whose movie advice you trust. For each movie, you are debating whether to either see it or speak to all of your friends and hear their recommendations. A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one trusted movie recommender friend. This approach will take a total of t hours. Prove that the problem is NP-hard.
A well known cricket team has a schedule tour of XYZ country in some days. They want to make sure to provide good security to the national team. Different security members have visited this country to check security arrangements. Some are agreed while some has little concerns. There are 4 different members who have visited in different period of time. The tour can go as schedule if there are at-least 3 members have submitted the positive report about security arrangements but if two members submit positive report while two other members submit negative report then there will be a deadlock between decision so there can be a don’t care condition. Now you have to design a Combination Circuit which can satisfy this scenario. Steps needed: Truth Table for four variables, SOP simplification through K map with don’t care condition, Equation and circuit
As the evidence on the adverse effects of cigarette smoke grew, people tried many different ways to quit smoking. Some people tried chewing tobacco or, as it was called, smokeless tobacco. A small amount of tobacco was placed between the cheek and gum. Certain chemicals from the tobacco were absorbed into the bloodstream and gave the sensation of smoking cigarettes. This prompted studies on the adverse effects of smokeless tobacco. One study in particular used 40 university students as subjects. Twenty were given smokeless tobacco to chew, and twenty given a substance that looked and tasted like smokeless tobacco, but did not contain any of the harmful substances. The students were randomly assigned to one of the groups. The students' blood and heart rate were measured before they started chewing and 20 minutes after they had been chewing. A significant increase in heart rate occurred in the group that chewed the smokeless tobacco. Answer the following questions. a. What type of study…
The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields ofendeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to develop a java system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the following functionalities. a) You are to define a class named Nobel_Award. Your class must have twofunctions, one of the functions should be named Award_Category, andthe other function should be named Award_Winner. YourAward_Category must have a string parameter list and return the stringwhen called. Your…

You are a detective in charge of bringing down drug dealers (D). A tip has led you to a small apartment complex where you believe one or more D might be hiding out. There are five apartments in a row. Each apartment could contain a drug dealer Dor could contain innocent people: adults (A), families with babies (B), or with teenagers (T). Before you break down a door, you need to be absolutely sure that a dealer D is inside, otherwise you could get sued for police sub-optimality. 1 2 3 4 5 m To help you narrow down where drug dealers D might be (if any are there at all!), you use the fact that different people make different noises. Every time you walk between two apartments, you can hear the louder of the two noises that are being made in those apartments. The loudest people are teenagers T, who blast music (m), the next loudest are babies B who cry (e), the next loudest is the drug dealer D, who makes a rustling sound (r), and the quietest people are adults A. who are totally silent…
A bunch of people are living on an island, when a visitor comes with a strangeorder: all blue-eyed people must leave the island as soon as possible. There will be a flight out at 8:00pm every evening. Each person can see everyone else's eye color, but they do not know their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Additionally, they do not know how many people have blue eyes, although they do know that at least one person does. How many days will it take theblue-eyed people to leave?
Hepatitis B is an infection of your liver, where it spreads when people come in contact with the blood,open sores, or body fluids of someone who has the hepatitis B virus. Over the years, vaccines havegenerated some controversy over safety, but no convincing evidence of harm has been found. Despitethe fact that children can have a reaction to any vaccine, the important thing to know is that thebenefits of vaccinations far outweigh the possible side effects.Even though the Screening and Immunisation Team in South Africa operate a failsafe system toensure that children born to hepatitis B positive mothers are appropriately vaccinated in a timelyfashion to reduce the risk of them contracting chronic hepatitis B, there are occurrences when a motheris not informed of their child’s next scheduled vaccination.They have approached you as a project manager to develop a mobile app for this purpose. The teamnoted that the app must track routine immunisation, which would be useful for parents.…
