the instructions carefully. Please download your assignment here.
Submission Requirements:
1. Submit all answers along with their corresponding code as a **searchable
PDF **.
2.
3.
4.
All generated csv and .ipynb files must be submitted in a zip-folder as a
secondary source.
Ensure your zip folder contains four csv files (i.e., the csv files for each of the
four questions below; YourName.csv, Reliance Retail Visits_ordered.csv,
Scores.csv, Vaccinated.csv).
You may use Jupyter notebook or Colab as per your convenience.
5. You should ONLY use the concepts and techniques covered in the
course to generate your answers. Statistical techniques that are NOT
covered in the course will NOT be evaluated.
Note: Reach out to your instructor for any question regarding csv files, codes, or the
zip-folder.
Non-compliance with the above instructions will result in a 0 grade on the relevant
portions of the assignment. Your instructor will grade your assignment based on what
you submitted. Failure to submit the assignment or submitting an assignment
intended for another class will result in a 0 grade, and resubmission will not be
allowed. Make sure that you submit your original work. Suspected cases of
plagiarism will be treated as potential academic misconduct and will be reported to
the College Academic Integrity Committee for a formal investigation. As part of this
procedure, your instructor may require you to meet with them for an oral exam on the
assignment.
A. Statistical Intuitions in Mental Health
**Question 1: ** (#Probability, #CompProgramDesign, #Visualizations)
We are going to work with a dataset that was collected on mental health issues. In
total, 824 individuals (teenagers, college students, housewives, businesses
professionals, and other groups) completed the survey. Their data provides valuable
insights into the prevalence, and factors associated with, mental health issues in
different groups. Using the sample dataset from the CSV file you generated answer the following
questions:
Question 1a. Is each of these two variables independent of being female? Explain
your reasoning. Make sure to include a two-way table for each of these two variables
with gender, and show all your calculations to support your answers.
**Question 1b. **Is there a relationship between the two variables returned by the
code? Explain your reasoning. Make sure you include a two-way table, a stacked bar
graph, and all your probability calculations in your answer.
**Question 1c. **Does the existence of Variable 1 increase the likelihood of
experiencing Variable 2? If so, by how much? Explain your reasoning. Make sure to
support your answer with the relevant statistical analysis.
**Question 1d. **Look back at your answers to Questions 1a-c. Now use what you
learned to answer the following question: Imagine ZU wanted to use the insights
from this research to improve its mental health support program. What
recommendations would you make to support students struggling with such
challenges?
B. Statistical Intuition in Store Ratings
**Question 2: ** (#Distributions, #Probability)
Imagine you are the manager of an Electronic store in Dubai mall. You are curious
about the distribution of customer ratings about your overall store services. So you
ask random customers who visit the store to complete a short survey, recording
variables such as their age group, and overall experience rating.
Question 2a. Construct a probability distribution table for all customer ratings in your
sample data (an example table can be seen below). Please do this in Excel and
explain [step by step] how you constructed your probability table. X = customer
ratings
1
2
3
10
5
Probability
P(X)
Question 2b. What is the probability that a randomly selected customer will have a
rating of AT MOST 3?
Question 2c. Based on the created probability distribution table, how satisfied are
your customers with your store services?
Question 2d. Find the expected rating of your store. Show your work and interpret
your answer in context.
Question 2e. Interpret the Standard Deviation in context. What rating is considered
unusual. Explain.
Question 2f. Identify any trends or differences in customer satisfaction levels (and
variability) among the different age groups.
Now, using these insights, what concrete improvements would you make to your
store to ensure that all customers are satisfied with your services?
C. Statistical Intuition in SAT Exams
**Question 3: ** (#Probability, #Distributions)
Imagine you are working for a prestigious university in the UAE. It is your job to
decide which students are admitted to the university. To help you do this, you
analyze the high school (SAT) scores of potential students. These scores help you
understand their academic readiness and potential for success at the university.
You have just received the scores of applicants who would like to join the university
in September 2024. These scores follow a normal distribution.
Use the Scores dataset and the statistics provided by the code, to answer the
following questions. IMPORTANT:
•
Make sure to support your answers by explaining and showing how you came
to your conclusions. -_ If you use online calculators then please include
screenshots of those calculators as part of your work. _ -_ Please __ do not_
use code to solve these questions. The questions are designed to test your
understanding._
Question 3a. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant scored at
least 1300? Show your work.
Question 3b. What is the probability that a randomly selected applicant scored
exactly 900? Show your work.
Question 3c. What percentage of applicants scored between 900 and 1000? Show
your work.
Question 3d. Calculate the 40th percentile of scores among the applicants. What
does this value represent in the context of the admissions process? Show your work.
Question 3e. Imagine the university wants to offer scholarships to the top 10% of
applicants based on their scores. What minimum score would an applicant need to
qualify for a scholarship? Show your work.
Question 3f. Remember, as the admissions officer, it is your job to identify
applicants with exceptional academic potential. Would you automatically recommend
that applicants with SAT scores above 1400 to be admitted into the university? Or do
you think additional criteria should also be considered? Explain your reasoning.
D. Statistical Intuition in Public Health
**Question 4: ** (#InferentialStats)
Now imagine that it is year 2034 and you are working as a public health researcher
in the UAE. You are working on a project to assess vaccination coverage for a new
global pandemic. The UAE government has implemented a widespread vaccination
campaign to combat the spread of the virus and achieve herd immunity. You want to
determine the proportion of individuals who have received the new vaccine among a
sample of 100 residents in different parts of the country. Use the dataset to answer the following questions.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to support your answers by explaining and showing how you came
to your conclusions. -_ Please do not use code to solve these questions. The
questions are designed to test your understanding._
Question 4a. What is the proportion of people who have received the vaccine
(based on the dataset you have)?
Question 4b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of vaccinated
individuals. What does this interval tell us about the likely range of vaccination
coverage in the entire population? Show your work.
Question 4c. What sample size would be required to estimate the proportion of
vaccinated individuals in the country with a 95% confidence level and a margin of
error of 0.02? Show your work.
Question 4d. If you wanted to increase the precision of your estimate, what
strategies could you employ to achieve this goal? Explain your reasoning.
Question 4e. Analyze the effectiveness of the current vaccination campaign using
the proportion of vaccinated individuals and the confidence interval. What
recommendations would you make for future campaigns?
