\n{table([['Data']+sort(r),['Squared data']+map(x^2,x,sort(r)),['Index']+map(x,x,1..m*n)],[])}
\nNote that from the above table:
\n$n=\\var{m*n}$.
\n$\\displaystyle \\sum x_i = \\var{sum(r)}$ and
\n$\\displaystyle \\sum x^2_i = \\var{sum(map(x^2,x,r))}$ .
\nThe sample mean is $\\bar{x}=\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\sum x_i}{n}=\\frac{\\var{sum(r)}}{\\var{m*n}}=\\var{mean(r)}=\\var{av}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nThe sample deviation is the square root of the sample variance.
\nSample variance:\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}\\frac{1}{ n -1}\\left(\\sum x_i ^ 2 - n \\bar{x} ^ 2\\right)&=& \\frac{1}{\\var{m*n-1}}\\left(\\var{sum(map(x^2,x,r))}-\\var{m*n}\\times\\var{mean(r)^2}\\right)\\\\&=&\\var{variance(r,true)}\\end{eqnarray*}\\] {Note}
\nSo the sample standard deviation = $\\sqrt{\\var{variance(r,true)}}=\\var{std}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nThe median is $\\var{median(r)} $.
\nThe lower quartile is : $\\var{lquartile(r)}$.
\nThe upper quartile is : $\\var{uquartile(r)}$.
\nThe interquartile range is the difference between these quartiles =$\\var{uquartile(r)}-\\var{lquartile(r)}=\\var{uquartile(r)-lquartile(r)}$

\n \t\tThe column labels in the table need to be centred.
\n \t\tThe presentation and layout of the questions should be improved and made consistent.
\n \t\tThere is a user-defined function norm(a,x,n) which takes a numeric list a and changes the entry a[x] so that the sum of entries in a is n. Added the tag udf.

"}, "variablesTest": {"condition": "", "maxRuns": 100}, "advice": "\n1) The total number of {somecat} {things}s is $\\var{sumr[t]}$ hence the probability that a random {things} from this survey is {somecat} is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{sumr[t]}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[0]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n\n
2) The total number of {things}s who are {drk} is $\\var{tc[u]}$ hence the probability that a random {things} from this survey is {drk} is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{tc[u]}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[1]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n\n
3) Looking at the table there are $\\var{ve}$ {things}s that are {oneof}. Hence the probability is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{ve}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[2]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n\n
4) These are the {things}s that are not {drk}, and hence there are $\\var{n}-\\var{tc[u]}=\\var{n-tc[u]}$ of them (see answer to part b)), and the probability of randomly selecting one is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{n-tc[u]}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[3]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n\n
5)Looking at the table we see that the number corresponding to {catattrib1} is $\\var{ce1}$. Hence the probability of randomly selecting one is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{ce1}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[4]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n6) As in the last question, looking at the table we see that the number corresponding to {catattrib2} is $\\var{ce2}$. Hence the probability of randomly selecting one is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{ce2}}{\\var{n}}=\\var{ans[5]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n\n
7) We know from question a) that the probability of selecting a {somecat} {things} is, $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{sumr[t]}}{\\var{n}}$, after this we now have $\\var{sumr[t]-1} $ {somecat} {things}s amongst the $\\var{n-1}$ left, and the probability of yet again selecting one of these is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{sumr[t]-1}}{\\var{n-1}}$. So the probability of selecting two is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{sumr[t]}\\times \\var{sumr[t]-1}}{\\var{n}\\times\\var{n-1}}=\\var{ans[6]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n8) The probability of selecting a {things} who is {drk1} is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{tc[u1]}}{\\var{n}}$, after this we now have $\\var{tc[u1]-1}$ {drk1} {things}s amongst the $\\var{n-1}$ left, and the probability of yet again selecting one of these is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{tc[u1]-1}}{\\var{n-1}}$. So the probability of selecting two is $\\displaystyle \\frac{ \\var{tc[u1]}\\times \\var{tc[u1]-1}}{\\var{n}\\times\\var{n-1}}=\\var{ans[7]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n9) Since there are $\\var{r[t][u]}$ {somecat} {things}s from the $\\var{tc[u]}$ {things}s that are {drk} the probability of selecting one is $\\displaystyle \\frac{\\var{r[t][u]}}{\\var{tc[u]}}= \\var{ans[8]}$ to 3 decimal places.
\n10) Since there are $\\var{we2}$ {othercats} {things}s from the $\\var{tc[u]}$ {things}s that are {drk} the probability of selecting one is $\\displaystyle \\frac{\\var{we2}}{\\var{tc[u]}}= \\var{ans[9]}$ to 3 decimal places.

a)
\nWe use the z tables to find the confidence interval as we know the population variance.
\nWe now calculate the $\\var{confl}$% confidence interval.
\nNote that $z_{\\var{confl/100}}=\\var{zval}$ and the confidence interval is given by:
\n\\[ \\var{m[s]} \\pm z_{\\var{confl/100}}\\sqrt{\\frac{\\var{sd2}}{\\var{n}}}\\]

\nLower value of the confidence interval $=\\;\\displaystyle \\var{m[s]} -\\var{zval} \\sqrt{\\frac{\\var{sd2}} {\\var{n}}} = \\var{lci}${units} to 2 decimal places.

We test the following hypothesis:
\n$H_0:\\;\\mu_d=0$ versus $H_1:\\;\\mu_d\\neq 0$
\n$n=\\var{n}$ and the mean of the differences is $\\overline{d}=\\var{meandiff}$.
\nThe variance $V$ of the differences is calculated to be $\\var{pstdev(d)^2}$
Hence we have the standard deviation $s_d= \\sqrt{V}=\\var{stdiff}$ to 3 decimal places.
The paired t-statistic is given by:
\n\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} T&=&\\frac{\\overline{d}-\\mu_d}{\\frac{s_d}{\\sqrt{n}}}\\\\&=&\\frac{\\var{meandiff}-0}{\\frac{\\var{stdiff}}{\\sqrt{\\var{n}}}}\\\\&=&\\var{tvalue}\\end{eqnarray*}\\]
\n(Using the null hypothesis that the means are the same i.e. $\\mu_d=0$.)
\nHence our test statistic $|T|=\\var{tvalue}$.
\nLooking up this value on the T-distribution table for $t_{11}$
\n\\[\\begin{array}{r|rrrrr}&0.20&0.10&0.05&0.01&0.001\\\\\\hline11&1.363&1.796&2.201&3.106&4.437\\end{array}\\]

\nThe completed moving average table is as follows:
\n| Mon | Tues | Thur | Fri | Sat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7/4/08 | \n* | \n* | \n$\\var{mth1}$ | \n$\\var{mf1}$ | \n$\\var{ms1}$ | \n
| 14/4/08 | \n$\\var{mm2}$ | \n$\\var{mt2}$ | \n$\\var{mth2}$ | \n$\\var{mf2}$ | \n$\\var{ms2}$ | \n
| 21/4/08 | \n$\\var{mm3}$ | \n$\\var{mt3}$ | \n$\\var{mth3}$ | \n* | \n* | \n
b)
\nThe mean value of $T$ is $\\overline{t}=\\frac{3+4+\\cdots+13}{11}=\\frac{88}{11}=8$.
\nThe mean value of $Y$ is $\\overline{y}=\\frac{\\var{summa}}{11}=\\var{meany}$.
\nWe have:
\n\\[\\begin{align}S_{TY}&=\\sum ty-11\\overline{t}\\overline{y}=\\var{sumty}-11\\times 8 \\times\\var{ meany}\\\\
S_{YY}&=\\sum y^2-11\\overline{y}^2=\\var{sumysquared}-11\\var{meany}^2=\\var{syy}\\\\
S_{TT}&=\\sum t^2-11\\overline{t}^2=814-11\\times 64=110
\\end{align}\\]
Estimate for $\\beta$ is $\\frac{S_{TY}}{S_{TT}}=\\var{testbe}=\\var{estbe}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nEstimate for $\\alpha$ is $\\overline{y}-\\beta\\overline{t}=\\var{meany}-\\var{estbe}\\times\\var{meant}=\\var{testal}=\\var{estal}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSo the linear regression equation is $Y=\\simplify{{estal}+{estbe}T}+\\epsilon$ coefficients to 2 decimal places.
\nc)
\nThe following table shows the calculated seasonal deviations and seasonal means for each day of the week. These are obtained by taking the moving average data away from the original data on orders. The seasonal means for the days are obtained by taking the means in each column.
\n\n| Mon | Tues | Thur | Fri | Sat | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7/4/08 | \n* | \n* | \n$\\var{sdth1}$ | \n$\\var{sdf1}$ | \n$\\var{sds1}$ | \n
| 14/4/08 | \n$\\var{sdm2}$ | \n$\\var{sdt2}$ | \n$\\var{sdth2}$ | \n$\\var{sdf2}$ | \n$\\var{sds2}$ | \n
| 21/4/08 | \n$\\var{sdm3}$ | \n$\\var{sdt3}$ | \n$\\var{sdth3}$ | \n* | \n* | \n
| Seasonal Mean | \n$\\var{sam}$ | \n$\\var{sat}$ | \n$\\var{sath}$ | \n$\\var{saf}$ | \n$\\var{sas}$ | \n
d) The seasonal effects for each day of the week are calculated by first finding the means of all the seasonal deviations found in the last table (not including the seasonal means in the last row). Then you take this away from the seasonal mean for each day.
\nWe find that the mean of the seasonal deviations is:
\n\\[\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{({sdth1} + {sdf1} + {sds1} + {sdm2} + {sdt2} + {sdth2} + {sdf2} + {sds2} + {sdm3} + {sdt3} + {sdth3}) / 11} = \\var{om}\\]to 3 decimal places.
\n{comm}
\nSeasonal effect for Monday: $S_M=\\;\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sam}-{om}}=\\var{sm}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSeasonal effect for Tuesday: $S_T=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sat}-{om}}=\\var{st}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSeasonal effect for Thursday: $S_{Thu}=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sath}-{om}}=\\var{sth}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSeasonal effect for Friday: $S_F=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{saf}-{om}}=\\var{sf}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSeasonal effect for Saturday: $S_{Sa}=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sas}-{om}}=\\var{ss}$ to 2 decimal places.
\ne)
\nWe further adjust the seasonal effects for each day by finding the mean of the seasonal effects we have just found and then taking this away from each of the seasonal effects.
\nWe find that the mean of the seasonal deviations is:
\n\\[\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{({sm} + {st} + {sth} + {sf} + {ss} ) / 5} = \\var{ms}\\] to 3 decimal places.
\n{comm1}
\nAdjusted seasonal effect for Monday $\\;=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sm}-{ms}}=\\var{asm}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nAdjusted seasonal effect for Tuesday$\\;=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{st}-{ms}}=\\var{ast}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nAdjusted seasonal effect for Thursday$\\;=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sth}-{ms}}=\\var{asth}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nAdjusted seasonal effect for Friday$\\;=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{sf}-{ms}}=\\var{asf}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nAdjusted seasonal effect for Saturday $\\;=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{ss}-{ms}}=\\var{ass}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nf)
\nWe use the regression equation found above $Y=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{estal}+{estbe}T}+\\epsilon$ to estimate the number of orders on {thisdate}.
\n\nBut we have to adjust for seasonality using the adjusted seasonal effect found above by adding on the adjusted seasonal effect for {thisday} i.e. $\\var{adj}$.
\nNote that $T=1$ corresponds to 7/4/08 and hence $T=\\var{ti}$ for {thisdate}.
\nSo putting $T=\\var{ti}$ gives $Y=\\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{estal}+{estbe}*{ti}+{adj}}=\\var{estal+estbe*ti+adj}=\\var{estord}$ orders to the nearest whole number.

\nFrom the table we have $\\displaystyle \\frac{X}{\\var{sea}}=2.18$.
\nHence we find $X=\\var{sea}\\times 2.18=\\var{a}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nSimilarly we have $\\displaystyle \\frac{Y}{\\var{sed}}=-0.12$
\nHence we find $Y=\\var{sed}\\times -0.12=\\var{c}$ to 2 decimal places.
\nb)
\nThe model is
\n\\[Y_t= \\var{me}+\\var{a}(Y_{t-1}-\\var{me})+\\epsilon_t.\\]
\nSo $a=\\var{me},\\;\\;b=\\var{a},\\;\\;c=\\var{me}$.
\nc)
\nPutting $Y_{\\var{per+1}}=\\var{fo1}$ we find:
\n\\[Y_{\\var {per + 2}} = \\var{me} + \\var{a} (Y_{\\var{per + 1}} -\\var{me}) = \\var{me} + \\var{a} \\times (\\var{fo1} -\\var{me}) = \\var{fo2}\\] to 2 decimal places.
\nUsing this value to 2dps we have:
\n\\[Y_{\\var {per + 3}} = \\var{me} + \\var{a} (Y_{\\var{per + 2}} -\\var{me}) = \\var{me} + \\var{a} \\times (\\var{fo2} -\\var{me}) = \\var{fo3}\\] to 2 decimal places.
\nFinally using this last value we have:
\n\\[Y_{\\var {per + 4}} = \\var{me} + \\var{a} (Y_{\\var{per + 3}} -\\var{me}) = \\var{me} + \\var{a} \\times (\\var{fo3} -\\var{me}) = \\var{fo4}\\] to 2 decimal places.
\nIn summary we have.
