Question 1 (30 marks)
The Covid-19 data is shared openly by the Ministry of Health Malaysia in the following sites:
Open data on COVID-19 in Malaysia
https://github.com/MoH-Malaysia/covid19-public/tree/main/vaccination
Open data on Malaysias National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme https://github.com/CITF-Malaysia/citf-public
You are required to conduct a statistical analysis on the Covid-19 vaccination effort in Malaysia. You are required to plan your strategies to effectively analysing and reporting the vaccination status. Hence, choose carefully the related data to achieve your goal. You need to determine the focus and storyline of your report before starting the analysis using the R scripting language. It will be helpful to do a brief preliminary research on the Covid-19 vaccination program to help you set up the tone for analysis. Include citations and references in your report accordingly.
Once complete the analysis, summarize your findings in a business report. The report will be read by people who may not be familiar with statistical terms. Therefore, it is important that your report be written in a manner that could be understood by people with varying statistical knowledge.
Minimum requirements for this report include the following:
i. Analysis (2-10 pages including diagram) 10 marks
Use the statistical analysis methods you have learned in Chapter 1 (Data Description and Numerical Measures) for the analysis. Be creative, use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to set the tone of the analysis.
Your analysis should at least (but not limited to) answer the following questions:
a. Is the vaccine registration process satisfactory?
b. Is the vaccination process satisfactory?
c. Is the vaccination process for the 12-18 year-old teenager group satisfactory? ii. Summary (0.5 page) 5 marks
This page is written after the analysis is complete. Determine the goal and purpose of the analysis and state that goal/purpose in the summary.
iii. Conclusion (1 page) 5 marks
Summarize the analysis. Refer to all statistics calculated, outline the planning for possible analysis for the next step.
Submission requirements:
i. You are required to submit
(1) the R scripting files for your analysis part;
(2) a README file to describe the data, and to guide the related libraries installation, if any; and
(3) the busines report. Non executable R scripts will be considered as fail to complete.
ii. Turn in your assignment on time. Late submission WILL NOT be accepted.
iii. Submission is ONLY allowed through ULearn.
iv. Plagiarism WILL NOT be tolerated.
Question 2 (20 marks)
You are running an online business that requires boxes and bubble wrap for postage purpose. Lets say you got the boxes and bubble wrap from four different suppliers, each of the suppliers represent 25% of your supply. Some of the boxes and bubble wrap you received are poor in quality and not meeting the specification. You would like to investigate which suppliers that supply good items and which are not.
Based on the table below, generate randomly value A1 to A4 and B1 to B4 from 0 to 1 in decimal form. Then, based on the values generated, determine what is the value of A’1 to A’4 and B’1 to B’4.
Table 1: Condition of box and bubble wrap for Company – Company 4
Supplier Percentage of supply
(%) Item A: BOX Item B: BUBBLE WRAP
Good Not Good Good Not Good
Company 1 25 A1 A’1 B1 B’1
Company 2 25 A2 A’2 B2 B’2
Company 3 25 A3 A’3 B3 B’3
Company 4 25 A4 A’4 B4 B’4
i. Based on the data from Table 1, suppose that a box is in a poor-quality condition, calculate the probability it comes from each company. ii. Based on the data from Table 1, suppose that a bubble wrap is in a poor-quality condition, calculate the probability it comes from each company.
iii. As a business owner, what will be your action following the findings in (ii) and (iii)?
Question 3 (20 marks) Question 3a (10 marks)
During the 2020 Badminton National Championships, a new national badminton player had the highest point rate in the match. The player scored with 65.5% of his shots. Suppose you choose a random sample of 80 shots made by the player during the 2020 National Championships. Let X = the number of shots that scored points.
a. What is the probability distribution for X?
b. Sketch the probability density function
c. Sketch the cumulative distribution function
d. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of X.
e. Find the probability that the player scored with 60 of these shots.
f. Find the probability that the player scored with more than 50 of these shots.
g. Find the probability that the player scored between 40 and 55 of these shots
Question 3b (5 marks)
Suppose that a technology task force is being formed to study technology awareness among instructors.

viii. Calculate the probability of a randomly picked male babies with a weight lower than 128 ounces.
ix. Calculate the probability of a randomly picked male babies with a weight between 130 and 140 ounces.
x. What can you conclude for both probabilities in questions (vi) and (ix)?
xi. We want to know the weight of female babies that are 85% of all babies are lower than this value.
xii. We want to know between what two values which 60% of the weight of female babies that lie symmetrically distributed around the population mean. xiii. We want to know the weight of male babies that are 80% of all babies are higher than this value.
xiv. We want to know between what two values which 60% of the weight of male babies that lie symmetrically distributed around the population mean.
xv. What can you conclude when comparing between question (xii) and (xiv)?

i. A survey found that the American family generates an average of 17.2 pounds of glass garbage each year. Assume the standard deviation of the distribution is 2.5 pounds. Find the probability that the mean of a sample of 55 families will be between 17 and 18 pounds.
ii. The average number of moves a person makes in his or her lifetime is 12. If the standard deviation is 3.2, find the probability that the mean of a sample of 36 people is a. Less than 13
b. Greater than 13
c. Between 11 and 12
