![Suppose we conduct a study of heights of fathers and their sons in a particular population, letting X be the fathers height in inches and Y the sons. Further, suppose that the random pair (X,Y) is distributed as bivariate normal with EIX) = EY] 68, Var(X) = Var(y) = 4, Cov(X, y) = 06. In what follows, give explicit expressions and simplify them as much as possible. Show your work, not just the final answer. (a) What is the probability that the father is taller than the son? (b) What is the probability that the father is at least 4 inches taller than the son? (c) What is the distribution of the heights of sons whose fathers are 74 inches tall? (d) Given that a father is 74 inches tall, find the probability that the son is taller than the father. e) One hundred father-son pairs are randomly sampled. Let X be the sample average for fathers and Y the sample average for sons. What is the joint distribution of (X,Y)? (f) What is the probability that the two sample averages are within 3 inches of each other?](http://img.homeworklib.com/questions/74b44a50-3aad-11ea-9f27-b113a66d0734.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_560)

Like Father, like son: In 1906, the statistician Karl Pearson measured the heights of 1078 pairs of fathers and sons. The following table presents a sample of 7 pairs, with height measured in inches, simulated from the distribution specified by Pearson. The least-squares regression line y=b0+b1x, se=2.3624697, E(x-x)^ 2=33.51, and x=70.02 are known for this data. Compute a point estimate of the mean height of sons whose fathers are 70 inches tall.

To test the belief that sons are taller than their fathers, a student ran- domly selects 13 fathers who have adult male children. She records the height (in inches) of both the father and the son in the following table. Are sons taller than their fathers? NOTE: A normal probability plot indicated that the differences (X -Y) are approximately normally distributed with no outliers. 70.4 71.8 70.1 70.2 70.4 69.3 eight of Father, Y eight of Son, X eight of...

A researcher randomly selects 6 fathers who have adult sons and records the fathers' and sons' heights to obtain the data shown in the table below. Test the claim that sons are taller than their fathers at the a= 0.10 level of significance. The normal probability plot and boxplot indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers so the use of a paired t-test is reasonable. Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6 Height of father (in...
