Chapter 1: SAMPLING AND DATA
Exercise 1 Below is a two-way table showing the types of college sports played by men
and women:
Soccer Basketball Lacrosse Total
Women 8 8 4 20
Men 4 12 4 20
Total 12 20 8 40
Given these data, calculate the marginal distributions of college sports for the
people surveyed.
Solution
Exercise 2 Below is a two-way table showing the types of college sports played by men
and women:
Soccer Basketball Lacrosse Total
Women 8 8 4 20
Men 4 12 4 20
Total 12 20 8 40
Given these data, calculate the conditional distributions for the subpopulation
of women who play college sports.

Exercise 3. Studies are often done by pharmaceutical companies to determine the
effectiveness of a treatment program. Suppose that a new viral antibody drug
is currently under study. It is given to patients once the virus's symptoms have

patients live once they start the treatment. Two researchers each follow a
different set of 40 patients with the viral disease from the start of treatment
until their deaths. The following data (in months) are collected.
