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.PriceCH
Is the data normally distributed? Plot Citrus Hill orange juice price in a histogram.PriceCH
Calculate the mean of price.PriceCH
Calculate the standard deviation of price.empirical rule
Base on your analysis in Q2, would it be appropriate to use the empirical rule for Q1? Why? Why not?empirical rule
Let’s just assume that the prices are normally distributed for the sake of discussion. Would you pay $2.20 for the Citrus Hill orange juice? Or walk away?knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
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.

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.I would first find the mean of the data, after distribution you can find the deviations from the mean Hint: Discuss all of the following topics in your answer: the normal distribution, the mean, and the standard deviation.
PriceCH
Is the data normally distributed? Plot Citrus Hill orange juice price in a histogram.## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_bin).
PriceCH
Calculate the mean of price.## [1] 1.867428
``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.
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.
## [1] 0.1020172
The standard deviation is 0.1
empirical rule
Base on your analysis in Q2, would it be appropriate to use the empirical rule for Q1? Why? Why not?Hint: Discuss characterstics of the normal distribution.
Yes i would use the empirical rule for question 1, most of the sales are within the range of SD. By using this rule you can find your probability.
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?I would walk away because the mean is $1.80 and the price is $2.20
Hint: Discuss in terms of the mean, the standard deviation, and the probability.
Hint: Discuss in terms of the unit of the variance and the standard deviation.
The empirical rule uses the standard deviation as a measure of spread instead of the variance. Variance isnt measured the same as distribution.
Hint: Use message
, echo
and results
in the chunk options. Refer to the RMarkdown Reference Guide.
