Peter will continue UNTIL he has got an answer wrong. It will then not matter him getting answer by being helped.

Guys, I need help in those theoretical questions that they ask, how do you 'apply' your knowledge of the subject there?
Like is there any rule sort of thing that we need to know, for example in mechanics by assuming that the string is inextensible, the acceleration is the same, so is there anything similar to that in S1?

Guys try solving Solomon paper L and someone tell me why did they take the value of n as 121 to find the Quartiles and not 120 in Q7a.

Because you are picking 3 bags at any order. so you can go like this. let the bag which is less than 53 be A and if its more than 53 be B.
They want 2 Bs and 1 A,

If they are chosen at random the arrangement can come

 B B A

 B A B

 A B B

so there are 3 ways of getting 2 bags which weigh more than 53 and one bag which weighs less. so you multiply the probabilities and then add them or just find the probability once and multiply it by 3. Hope this helps.

For part a)
r=Sxy/?(SxxSyy) = -808.917/?(113573 x 8.657) = -0.816 (3sf)
and by the way, the formula is given in the formula booklet.

b) Since the product moment correlation coefficient is a negative value, then this means that as one value increases, the other value decreases, so in this case, the houses become cheaper as they become further away from the station.

c) The product moment correlation coefficient is not affected by coding i.e. if you add, subtract, multiply or divide the original data for coding, it'll not change, so it's value is the same.

Let x = t - 35

Therefore, Mean = -15/12 = -1.25
However, this is the mean for (t-35)

The mean for t = -1.25 + 35 = 33.75 ~ 33.8

The s.d for x (i.e t-35) is the same as the s.d for t

So, S.d = sqrt(Sum(x_i^2)/12 - (mean^2(for t-35)

= sqrt((82.23/12)-(-1.25)^2 = 2.3

& Solomon paper J, why are they taking the value of n as 56 instead of 55 in Q1a?
