15.Data are collected on a sample of girls aged from 5 to 11 years. Their age x, in years and their height y in cms are recorded and found to be consistent with a linear relationship. The regression line of height on age is y = 75 + 5x. Which one of the following is a correct conclusion?

2 points

  1. Over the next three years we would expect a 6 year old girl in the sample to grow by about 15cms

19.Estimates of population movements (human mobility) have traditionally been provided from relatively expensive sample surveys of individuals. What other data sources might now be available to replace or supplement survey data to provide insight into population movements on a daily basis? How could these sources be exploited? Please consider the types of application and analysis to be carried out, how this supplements survey data, and how the results would add to existing understanding of time use in the population. You may make plausible assumptions about the type of data available. You can assume that the data is available in consistent and well-documented format.

  1. During the COVID-19 pandemic it became important to understand the impact of Coronavirus on the economy. What other data sources might now be available to replace or supplement traditional economic statistics to provide more timely, more frequent or more granular insights to understand changes in Rwanda’s economy? For each data source, explain the analytical techniques/tools which could be used? What are the psotential analytical outcomes from this analysis? You can assume that the data is available in consistent and well-documented format.
