Part 1-
Tree diagram: The tree diagram is a common way to solve problems based on
Bayes’ rule
Let A= Amira Let B= Biyas Let C= Chinar Let T= On time rate
P(A)= 0.50 P(B)= 0.30 P(C)= 0.20
P(T|A)= 0.80 P(T|B)= 0.65 P(T|C)= 0.40
The following table shows the prior probability, conditional probability, joint
probability, and marginal probability, P(X), and how it can be used to revise the prior
probabilities to obtain posterior probability.
Event Prior Conditional Joint Revised
P(Ei) P(X | Ei) P(X ∩ Ei) probability
A 0.50 0.80 0.4 0.59
B 0.30 0.65 0.195 0.28
C 0.20 0.40 0.08 0.59
P(X)= 0.675
X (0.80) 0.4
Y (0.20) 0.1
A
0.50 X (0.65) 0.195
B
0.30 Y (0.35) 0.105
C
0.20 X (0.40)0 0.08
Y (0.60) 0.12
𝑃(𝑋 ∩ 𝐸𝑖)
𝑃(𝑋)
0.4
Mentioning the value we get: = 0.59
0.675
Therefore, the probability of the airline Amira leaving on time is 0.59
Answer 2
Part 1-
Dependent variable: The predictor or the outcome variable is called the dependent or
response variable. It is designated as “𝑦”.
Independent variable: The risk factors or cofounders are known as predictors where
the predictor is called as the independent variable or explanatory variable. It is
designated as “𝑥”
Part 2-
Regression model equation: 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃
Where,
𝒎= Slope of the line
𝒃= 𝑦 intercept of the line

Part 4-
Interpretation of the regression table and ANOVA table:
Regression statistics, standard error= 1052.491
The 𝑡 test for the slope is under 𝑡 stat near the bottom of the ANOVA section where
𝑡= 6.551972
Adjacent to the 𝑡 stat is the 𝑝-value, which is the probability of the 𝑡 statistic
occurring by chance if the null hypothesis is true. The probability shown here is
0.000178
The ANOVA table is in the middle with the 𝑓 value having the same probability as the
𝑡 statistic which is 0.000178
Answer 3 (a)
The binomial distribution is one of the widely known distributions of the discreet
distribution.
In the given question;
Part (b):
𝑛= 25
𝒙= 20
Applying the binomial formula
Part (b):
𝑥 = 9000
𝑥−𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 9000−10000
𝑧= = = -0.46
𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 2400
𝑃(𝑥 < 9000)= 0.3385
