Let us assume that the number N of children in a given family
follows a Poisson distribution with parameter
. Let us also assume that for each birth, the probability that
the child is a girl is p 2 [0; 1], and that the
probability that the child is a boy is q = 1?p. Let us nally
assume that the genders of the successive births
are independent from one another.

1) The random variable X represents the number of girls
in a family of 6 children. Assuming that the event of having boys
and girls are equally likely. Construct the discrete probability
distribution for the random variable X and plot your results. For
the number of girls, determine the expected mean and standard
deviation.

A researcher wanted to learn whether the number of alcoholic
beverages consumed per week was associated with scores on a health
attitude scale. So the researcher gathered 10 random people.
Participants were asked how many drinks they have per week, and to
complete a health attitudes scale (1-10). High scores on the scale
reflect positive attitudes to health and low scores reflect poor
attitudes to health. Using the data below, an alpha of .05
(two-tailed), use a Pearson correlation to...
