- Q1
empirical ruleYour favorite orange juice brand is Citrus Hill. You went to a local market and found that it is sold at $2.20. You are surprised at the price tag, which seems too pricey. You wonder how rare it would be to encounter a Citrus Hill orange juice at this price. Fortunately, you have a dataset of the Citrus Hill juice prices. How would you use the dataset to answer your question? Describe. - Q2
PriceCHIs the data normally distributed? Plot Citrus Hill orange juice price in a histogram. - Q3
PriceCHCalculate the mean of price. - Q4
PriceCHCalculate the standard deviation of price. - Q5
empirical ruleBase on your analysis in Q2, would it be appropriate to use the empirical rule for Q1? Why? Why not? - Q6
empirical ruleLet’s just assume that the prices are normally distributed for the sake of discussion. Would you pay $2.20 for the Citrus Hill orange juice? Or walk away? - Q7 Why do you think the empirical rule uses the standard deviation as a measure of spread instead of the variance?
- Q8 Hide the messages, but display the code and its results on the webpage.
- Q9 Display the title and your name correctly at the top of the webpage.
- Q10 Use the correct slug.
For this quiz, you are going to use orange juice data. This data set is originally used in a machine learning (ML) class, with the goal to predict which of the two brands of orange juices the customers bought. Of course, you are not building a ML algorithm in this quiz. I just wanted to provide you with the context of the data.
The response variable (that ML algorithm is built to predict) is Purchase, which takes either CH (Citrus Hill) or MM (Minute Maid). The predictor variables (that ML algorithm uses to make predictions) are characteristics of the customer and the product itself. Together, the data set has 18 variables.WeekofPurchase is the week of purchase. LoyalCH is customer brand loyalty for CH (how loyal the customer is for CH on a scale of 0-1), and is the only variable that characterizes customers. All other variables are characteristics of the product or stores the sale occurred at.

## NA's :5 NA's :2Q1 empirical rule Your favorite orange juice brand is Citrus Hill. You went to a local market and found that it is sold at $2.20. You are surprised at the price tag, which seems too pricey. You wonder how rare it would be to encounter a Citrus Hill orange juice at this price. Fortunately, you have a dataset of the Citrus Hill juice prices. How would you use the dataset to answer your question? Describe.
Hint: Discuss all of the following topics in your answer: the normal distribution, the mean, and the standard deviation.
The normal distribution, almost all the data falls within plus minus 3 standard deviations from the mean
Mean is the average in the data set, in the middle of data which the normal distribution is based off of.
Using the empirical rule and the data set, we would be able to find out how rare the orange juice is sold at 2.2
Q2 PriceCH Is the data normally distributed? Plot Citrus Hill orange juice price in a histogram.
ggplot(Orange, aes(x = PriceCH)) +
geom_histogram()## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).
The data is not normally distributed because the data is not bell shaped, its not symetrical around the center
Q3 PriceCH Calculate the mean of price.
Hint: You may add the na.rm = TRUE argument in the mean() function, if the function returns NA. It means that the variable has at least one row with NA.
mean(Orange$PriceCH, na.rm = TRUE)## [1] 1.867428Q4 PriceCH Calculate the standard deviation of price.
Hint: You may add the na.rm = TRUE argument in the mean() function, if the function returns NA. It means that the variable has at least one row with NA.
sd(Orange$PriceCH, na.rm = TRUE)## [1] 0.1020172Q5 empirical rule Base on your analysis in Q2, would it be appropriate to use the empirical rule for Q1? Why? Why not?
Hint: Discuss characteristics of the normal distribution. No we cannot apply the empirical rule because the data is not normal distributed.
Q6 empirical rule Let’s just assume that the prices are normally distributed for the sake of discussion. Would you pay $2.20 for the Citrus Hill orange juice? Or walk away?
Hint: Discuss in terms of the mean, the standard deviation, and the probability.
I would walk away because the mean is $1.87. This means that $2.2 is two standard deviations higher than the mean. The Probability of this is 2.5%. I would walk because you can easily find a store that has it for cheaper because your chances of a store being $2.2 is 2.5%, the probability of the next store you going to being like this are very slim.
Q7 Why do you think the empirical rule uses the standard deviation as a measure of spread instead of the variance?
Hint: Discuss in terms of the unit of the variance and the standard deviation. The empirical rule uses standard deviation over variance because variance is harder to interpret due to being the unit squared.THis is very hard to interpret when comparing, due to the different unit. Standard deviation is just units which is easier to understand.
