Submit an R notebook with comments, code and results.
Problem 1 (10 points):
We would like to study the correlation between mental and physical
well-being. An analysis of birthdays and death days of famous
people could be used as further evidence in the study of this
correlation. To use these data, we are supposing that being able to
look forward to something betters a person’s mental state; and that
a famous person would probably look forward to his or her birthday
because of the resulting attention, affection, and so on. If a
famous person is in poor health and dying, then perhaps
anticipating his birthday would “cheer him up and therefore improve
his health and possibly decrease the chance that he will die
shortly before his birthday.” The data might therefore reveal that
a famous person is less likely to die in the months before his or
her birthday and more likely to die in the months afterward.
1. Specify an appropriate null hypothesis and the distribution
you would compare against. (max 5 sentences)
2. Specify the relevant statistic, degrees of freedom and show your
calculation (max 5 sentences)
3. Calculate the p-value (max 5 sentences)
4. What would you conclude for 10% and 10% level of significance.
Provide detailed comment (max 10 sentences)
5. Submit your work before deadline.
