Obtain a \(90\% \) CI for the ratio of variances by first using the method suggested in the text to obtain a general confidence interval formula.

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \le \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{{\sigma _1^2}} \le \frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}}\\ = (0.023,1.99)\end{array}\)

Step by step solution

01

To find the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the ratio of the two variances with approximate \(100(1 - \alpha )\)confidence level can be obtained from

\(P\left( {{F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \le \frac{{S_1^2/\sigma _1^2}}{{S_2^2/\sigma _2^2}} \le {F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}}} \right) = 1 - \alpha \)

Look at

\({F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \le \frac{{S_1^2/\sigma _1^2}}{{S_2^2/\sigma _2^2}} \le {F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}}\)

This is obviously equivalent to

\(\frac{{S_2^2}}{{S_1^2}}{F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \le \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{{\sigma _1^2}} \le \frac{{S_2^2}}{{S_1^2}}{F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}}\)

By substituting corresponding values with sample standard deviations

\(\)

\({s_1}\)and \({s_2}\)the confidence interval for the proportion of the two variances is obtained

\(\frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \le \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{{\sigma _1^2}} \le \frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}} \cdot \)

To obtain \(90\% \)confidence interval for the ratio of the variances \((\alpha = 0.1)\)the sample standard deviations of the \(m = n = 4\) sized samples are needed.

The Sample Variance \({s^2}\)is

\({s^2} = \frac{1}{{n - 1}} \cdot {S_{xx}}\)

where

\({S_{xx}} = \sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} = \sum {x_i^2} - \frac{1}{n} \cdot {\left( {\sum {{x_i}} } \right)^2}\)

The Sample Standard Deviation \(s\) is

\(s = \sqrt {{s^2}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{n - 1}} \cdot {S_{xx}}} \)

Thus, the sample standard deviations are, for the Epoxy

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_1} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{4 - 1}} \cdot \left( {\left( {{{1.75}^2} + {{2.12}^2} + {{2.05}^2} + {{1.97}^2}} \right) - \frac{1}{4} \cdot {{(1.75 + 2.12 + 2.05 + 1.97)}^2}} \right)} \\ = 0.16\end{array}\)

and, for the MMA prepolymer sample

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_1} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{4 - 1}} \cdot \left( {\left( {{{1.77}^2} + {{1.59}^2} + {{1.7}^2} + {{1.69}^2}} \right) - \frac{1}{4} \cdot {{(1.77 + 1.59 + 1.7 + 1.69)}^2}} \right)} \\ = 0.074.\end{array}\)

02

Final proof

Also, for\(\alpha = 0.1(\alpha /2 = 0.05)\), the \(F\) values are

\(\begin{array}{c}{F_{0.05,3,3}} = 9.28\\{F_{0.95,3,3}} = \frac{1}{{{F_{0.05,3,3}}}}\\ = 0.108\end{array}\)

Finally, the \(90\% \)confidence interval for the proportion is

\(\left( {\frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{1 - \alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}},\frac{{s_2^2}}{{s_1^2}} \cdot {F_{\alpha /2,m - 1,n - 1}}} \right)\)

\(\begin{array}{l} = \left( {\frac{{{{0.074}^2}}}{{{{0.16}^2}}} \cdot 1.108,\frac{{{{0.074}^2}}}{{{{0.16}^2}}} \cdot 9.28} \right)\\ = (0.023,1.99).\end{array}\)

Most popular questions from this chapter

To decide whether two different types of steel have the same true average fracture toughness values, n specimens of each type are tested, yielding the following results:

\(\begin{array}{l}\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ Type }&{ Sample Average }&{ Sample SD }\\1&{60.1}&{1.0}\\2&{59.9}&{1.0}\\{}&{}&{}\end{array}} \\\end{array}\)

Calculate the P-value for the appropriate two-sample \(z\) test, assuming that the data was based on \(n = 100\). Then repeat the calculation for \(n = 400\). Is the small P-value for \(n = 400\) indicative of a difference that has practical significance? Would you have been satisfied with just a report of the P-value? Comment briefly.a

The level of lead in the blood was determined for a sample of \(152\) male hazardous-waste workers ages \(20 - 30\) and also for a sample of \(86\) female workers, resulting in a mean \(6\) standard error of \(5.5 \pm 0.3\)for the men and \(3.8 \pm 0.2\) for the women (鈥淭emporal Changes in Blood Lead Levels of Hazardous Waste Workers in New Jersey, 1984鈥1987,鈥 Environ. Monitoring and Assessment, 1993: 99鈥107). Calculate an estimate of the difference between true average blood lead levels for male and female workers in a way that provides information about reliability and precision.

Return to the data on maximum lean angle given in Exercise 28 of this chapter. Carry out a test at significance level .10 to see whether the population standard deviations for the two age groups are different (normal probability plots support the necessary normality assumption).

In an experiment to compare bearing strengths of pegs inserted in two different types of mounts, a sample of 14 observations on stress limit for red oak mounts resulted in a sample mean and sample standard deviation of \(8.48MPa\) and .79 MPa, respectively, whereas a sample of 12 observations when Douglas fir mounts were used gave a mean of \(9.36\) and a standard deviation of \(1.52\) ('Bearing Strength of White Oak Pegs in Red Oak and Douglas Fir Timbers," J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1998, 109-114). Consider testing whether or not true average stress limits are identical for the two types of mounts. Compare df's and P-values for the unpooled and pooled t tests.

The accompanying data consists of prices (\$) for one sample of California cabernet sauvignon wines that received ratings of 93 or higher in the May 2013 issue of Wine Spectator and another sample of California cabernets that received ratings of 89 or lower in the same issue.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ \ge 93:}&{100}&{100}&{60}&{135}&{195}&{195}&{}\\{}&{125}&{135}&{95}&{42}&{75}&{72}&{}\\{ \le 89:}&{80}&{75}&{75}&{85}&{75}&{35}&{85}\\{}&{65}&{45}&{100}&{28}&{38}&{50}&{28}\end{array}\)

Assume that these are both random samples of prices from the population of all wines recently reviewed that received ratings of at least 93 and at most 89 , respectively.

a. Investigate the plausibility of assuming that both sampled populations are normal.

b. Construct a comparative boxplot. What does it suggest about the difference in true average prices?

c. Calculate a confidence interval at the\(95\% \)confidence level to estimate the difference between\({\mu _1}\), the mean price in the higher rating population, and\({\mu _2}\), the mean price in the lower rating population. Is the interval consistent with the statement "Price rarely equates to quality" made by a columnist in the cited issue of the magazine?
