Rachael and Peter are discussing how the mean value and variance affect the distribution graph. As the following graph shows, there are two distributions: A and B Peter said that the distribution A has fatter tail because its has bigger standard deviation than the distribution B. Rachael’s answer is different:she thinks the distribution A has a smaller standard deviation than the distribution B. Who do you think is right? a. Peter b. Rachael c. None of them are right. Distribution A and Distribution B have the same standard deviation 4.

A research study found that in one physics class, the correlation between pre-exam and post-exam grades was 0.90. The variance of pre-exam grades was 9 and the variance of post-exam grades was 16. Thus, the variance of the difference between pre-exam and post-exam grades is: (show work) 6. Image that a researcher examined how the people’s heights are associated with their salaries.

A research study found that for the new-coming medical students, the correlation between the trail Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) grades and real MCAT grades was 0.60. The variance of pre-exam grades was 81 and the variance of post-exam grades was 100. Thus, the variance of the difference between pre-exam and post-exam grades is: (show work) 9.
