Study Notes

Crime Prediction and Residuals

Prediction of crimes based on 7 streetlights: 1.0 crimes per month
For a block with 10 streetlights and 1 crime per month, the residual is 0.6

Regression Analysis

Slope interpretation: every additional streetlight decreases crimes per month by 0.2
Regression findings indicate a correlation of 0.6 between study hours and exam scores, suggesting higher study hours are associated with higher exam scores.

Tropical Storm Classifications

Major tropical storms defined by sustained winds over 110 mph
Probability of a future storm originating in the Pacific Ocean and classified as major: 0.170

Body Temperature Standard Deviation

Standard deviation of human body temperature in Celsius converted to Fahrenheit: 9/5(0.4)

Correlation Coefficient Insights

The square of the correlation coefficient measures the proportion of y-variance predictable from x

Z-scores Interpretation

A z-score of -1.3 indicates the student scored 1.3 standard deviations lower than the class average on the second exam

Variance and Standard Deviation

For a probability distribution of adults living in homes, the standard deviation is 0.89
Variance of the difference between two independent variables, X and Y, is 0.34

Exam Scores and Z-scores

In an exam with a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of 8, a z-score of -1.5 corresponds to a score of 28
For a national achievement test with a mean score of 100 and standard deviation of 15, Jane's score with a z-score of 1.20 is 118

Survey Advantages

Surveys are typically cheaper to conduct compared to experiments
