Topic: Coach’s Decision: UF Women’s Basketball Match
Suppose your team (UF Women’s Basketball Team) trails by two points against University of Connecticut with 8 seconds to go and has the ball. Your assistant coach Victor suggests to attempt 3-point shot because the probability of winning the game with shooting a 2-point shot is lower (0.45 x 0.50 = 0.225 or 22.5%) than a 3-point shot (0.300 or 30%) based on the assumptions below. What is your decision? Should your team attempt a two-point shot or a three-point shot? What other factors might you need to consider?
Assumption 1: UF shot will end the game and that no foul will occur on the shot.
Assumption 2: UF’s 3-point shot historically has a 30% chance of success; 2-point shot has a 45% chance of success in most recent 5 games.
Assumption 3: UF has 50% chance of winning in overtime because this is your home game.

The best way to learn statistics is to do statistics. At one point, most of us have needed to purchase a vehicle. At the very least, it’s fun to look at them! Go to the Kelley Blue Book website or any other vehicle website and choose 10 different vehicles. These can be ones you would consider buying or even your total dream car. Record the following information in a blank Excel file.
Save your Excel, for future discussions, and then upload the Excel as an attachment in your intro. discussion for review.

Explain the type(s) of vehicles you chose and provide a brief rationale for your choice. For each column category, state whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative. Last, add a new column with a variable of your choice and state whether it is qualitative or quantitative. You might consider engine size, number of cylinders, vehicle weight, or drive type.

This week’s required readings explain the role that discrete random variables and their discrete probability distributions play in the world of statistical analysis. Consider the following questions and respond in a minimum of 175 words:

Each student is required to submit a two-paragraph discussion board post about a session from the Bentley University MLK Celebration (Tuesday, January 20, 2024).
• Paragraph 1 should provide an summary/overview of the session presentation.
• Paragraph 2 should discuss what data were presented to illustrate a point or support the presentation? What data, if they existed, would have further supported the message? Was data presented that undermined, weakened, or challenged (provided an alternative view) the message? Identify the variable types and measurement scales of the data presented.
I have attached the video of the presentation. Please use it to write the 2 paragraphs and answer the questions. Also please relate it to statistics since its for a statistics class.

By now you are adept at calculating averages and intuitively can estimate whether something is “normal” (a measurement not too far from average) or unusual (pretty far from the average you might expect). This class helps to quantify exactly how far something you measure is from average using the normal distribution. Basically, you mark the mean down the middle of the bell curve, calculate the standard deviation of your sample, and then add (or subtract) that value to come up with the mile markers (z-scores) that measure the distance from the mean.
For example, if the average height of adult males in the United States is 69 inches with a standard deviation of 3 inches, we could create the graph below.
Men who are somewhere between 63 and 75 inches tall would be considered of a fairly normal height. Men shorter than 63 inches or taller than 75 inches would be considered unusual (assuming our sample data represents the actual population). You could use a z-score to look up exactly what percentage of men are shorter than (or taller than) a particular height.
Think of something in your work or personal life that you measure regularly. (No actual calculation of the mean, standard deviation, or z-scores is necessary.) What value is “average”? What values would you consider to be unusually high or unusually low? If a value were unusually high or low—how would it change your response to the measurement? This serves as your initial post to the discussion and is due by 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday.
Review the responses provided by the other members of the class. Make at least one substantive peer reply post by 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday.

PSYC 354
PROBABILITY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
This assignment is designed to increase your understanding and proficiency in conceptualizing
and computing the probability of simple events as well as the probability of certain outcomes
using the z score and the normal distribution. A working knowledge of these concepts, along
with what you will learn next week, will help you make the important transition from working
with descriptive statistics to working with inferential statistics. Inferential statistics form the
backbone of social science research, and having a solid understanding is essential to conducting,
interpreting, and applying research in your chosen field.
INSTRUCTIONS
To access the homework problems for this assignment, please download the Probability
Template document linked on the Probability Assignment page.
This assignment includes several problem sets related to probability and the proportion of
scores under the normal curve related to specific z scores.
For each scenario, you will compute your answer using a calculator or pencil and paper.
Typewritten answers into the document in the specified answer spaces. Please keep the
red font formatting for answers and show work when directed to do so. You may type
your work, use a stylus/e-pen, or write it by hand and scan the results into a finished
document. Be sure all work is legible.
Please review the Demonstration Video: Finding Proportions and Percentile Ranks, as well
as Chapter 6 in your textbook, for procedures related to solving these problems
