Repeat parts (b)-(e) of Exercise 7.11 for samples of size 1.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (b): Constructing the table of samples of size 1 of the given population is given below,


Part (c): The dot plot is given below,


Part (d): The chance that sample mean is equal to population mean is 0.

Part (e): The probability that x is within 1 inch of μis 0.

Step by step solution

01

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

Consider the given question,

02

Part (b) Step 2. Construct samples of size 1 of the given population.

The samples of size 1 and the corresponding means are obtained,

Here, Chrish Bosh by B, Dwyane Wade by W, LeBron James by J, Mario Chalmers by C and Udonis Haslem H.

03

Part (c) Step 1. Construct the dot plot.

On constructing the dot plot for the sampling distribution of the sample mean,

04

Part (d) Step 1. Find the chance that the sample mean will equal the population mean.

Consider the previous question,

The population mean height for five players is 78.6inches.

From table obtained in part (b), it is clear that none of the sample means are equal to the population mean. Also, number of samples of size 1is 5.

Px=μ=05=0

05

Part (e) Step 1. Find the probability that xwill be within 1 inch of μ.

We need to find the Pμ-1≤x≤μ+1.

From the table obtained in part (b), it is clear that none of the sample means are within 1 inch of the population mean.

Pμ-1≤x≤μ+1=P(78.6-1≤x≤78.6+1)=P(77.6≤x≤79.6)=05=0

Consider simple random samples of size n without replacement from a population of size N.

Part (a): Show that if n≤0.05N,then0.97≤N-nN-1≤1,

Part (b): Use part (a) to explain why there is little difference in the values provided by Equations (7.1)and (7.2)when the sample size is small relative to the population size- that is, when the size of the sample does not exceed 5% of the size of the population.

Part (c): Explain why the finite population correction factor can be ignored and the simpler formula, Equation (7.2), can be used when the sample size is small relative to the population size.

Part (d): The term N-n/N-1is known as the finite population correction factor. Can you explain why?

Worker Fatigue. A study by M. Chen et al. titled "Heat Stress Evaluation and Worker Fatigue in a Steel Plant (American Industrial Hygiene Association, Vol. 64. Pp. 352-359) assessed fatigue in steelplant workers due to heat stress. If the mean post-work heart rate for casting workers equals the normal resting heart rate of 72beats per minute (bpm), find the probability that a random sample of 29 casting workers will have a mean post-work heart rate exceeding 78.3bpm Assume that the population standard deviation of post-work heart rates for casting workers is 11.2 bpm. State any assumptions that you are making in solving this problem.

Refer to Exercise 7.10on page 295.

a. Use your answers from Exercise 7.10(b)to determine the mean, μi, of the variable x^for each of the possible sample sizes.

b. For each of the possible sample sizes, determine the mean, μi+of the variable x^, using only your answer from Exercise 7.10(a)

New York City 10-kmRun. As reported by Rumле's World magazine, the times of the finishers in the New York City 10-km run are normally distributed with a mean of 61 minutes and a standard deviation of 9minutes. Do the following for the variable "finishing time61min of finishers in the New York City 10-kmrun.

a. Find the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of size 4

b. Repeat part (a) for samples of size 9

C. Construct graphs similar to those shown in Fig.7.4on-page 304

d. Obtain the percentage of all samples of four finishers that have mean finishing times within 5minutes of the population mean finishing time of 61 minutes. Interpret your answer in terms of sampling error.

e. Repeat part (d) for samples of size 9

Nurses and Hospital Stays. In the article "A Multifactorial Intervention Program Reduces the Duration of Delirium. Length of Hospitalization, and Mortality in Delirious Patients (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Vol. 53. No. 4. pp. 622-628), M. Lundstrom et al. investigated whether education programs for nurses improve the outcomes for their older patients. The standard deviation of the lengths of hospital stay on the intervention ward is 8.3days.

a. For the variable "length of hospital stay," determine the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of 80patients on the intervention ward.

b. The distribution of the length of hospital stay is right-skewed. Does this invalidate your result in part (a)? Explain your answer.

c. Obtain the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the population means length of stay on the intervention ward by the mean length of stay of a sample of 80patients will be at most 2days.
