Chapter 1: 1.1 (page 12)

For each of the following hypothetical populations, give

a plausible sample of size 4:

a. All distances that might result when you throw a football

b. Page lengths of books published 5 years from now

c. All possible earthquake-strength measurements (Richter scale) that might be recorded in California during the next year

d. All possible yields (in grams) from a certain chemical reaction carried out in a laboratory.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.\(\left\{ {50,45,40,35} \right\}\)

b.\(\left\{ {700,490,800,500} \right\}\)

c.\(\left\{ {5.2,{\rm{ }}6.5,{\rm{ }}5,{\rm{ }}7} \right\}\)

d. \(\left\{ {60{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}57{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}40{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}80{\rm{gm}}} \right\}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Four populations are provided.

02

Provide one possible sample of size 4.

a.

Assuming that the distance is measured in feet.

The possible sample of size 4 for all distances that might result when a football is thrown is given as,

\(\left\{ {50,45,40,35} \right\}\)

b.

The possible sample of size 4 forpage lengths of books published 5 years from nowis given as,

\(\left\{ {700,490,800,500} \right\}\)

03

Provide one possible sample of size 4.

c.

The possible sample of size 4 forall possible earthquake-strength measurements (Richter scale) that might be recorded in California during the next yearis given as,

\(\left\{ {5.2,{\rm{ }}6.5,{\rm{ }}5,{\rm{ }}7} \right\}\)

d.

The possible sample of size 4 forall possible yields (in grams) from a certain chemical reaction carried out in a laboratoryis given as,

\(\left\{ {60{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}57{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}40{\rm{gm}},{\rm{ }}80{\rm{gm}}} \right\}\)

a. Determine the value of the fourth spread.

b. Are there any outliers in the sample? Any extreme outliers?

c. Construct a boxplot and comment on its features.

d. By how much could the largest observation, currently 424, be decreased without affecting the value of the fourth spread?

Many universities and colleges have instituted supplemental

instruction (SI) programs, in which a student facilitator meets regularly with a small group of students enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery. Suppose that students in a large statistics course (what else?) are randomly divided into a control group that will not participate in SI and a treatment group that will participate. At the end of the term, each student鈥檚 total score in the course is determined.

a. Are the scores from the SI group a sample from an existing population? If so, what is it? If not, what is the relevant conceptual population?

b. What do you think is the advantage of randomly dividing the students into the two groups rather than letting each student choose which group to join?

c. Why didn鈥檛 the investigators put all students in the treatment group? [Note:The article 鈥淪upplemental Instruction: An Effective Component of Student Affairs Programming鈥� (J. of College Student Devel., 1997: 577鈥�586) discusses the analysis of data from several SI programs.]

The generalized negative binomial \({\rm{pmf}}\) is given by

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{nb(x;r,p) &= k(r,x)}} \cdot {{\rm{p}}^{\rm{r}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{\rm{x}}}\\{\rm{x &= 0,1,2,}}...\end{aligned}\)

Let \({\rm{X}}\), the number of plants of a certain species found in a particular region, have this distribution with \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.3}}\) and \({\rm{r = 2}}{\rm{.5}}\). What is \({\rm{P(X = 4)}}\)? What is the probability that at least one plant is found?

Let \({\rm{X}}\) denote the amount of time a book on two-hour reserve is actually checked out, and suppose the cdf is

\({\rm{F(x) = }}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{x < 0}}}\\{\frac{{{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{\rm{4}}}}&{{\rm{0拢 x < 2}}}\\{\rm{1}}&{{\rm{2\拢 x}}}\end{array}} \right.\)

a. Calculate\({\rm{P(X拢 1)}}\).

b. Calculate\({\rm{P(}}{\rm{.5拢 X拢 1)}}\).

c. Calculate\({\rm{P(X > 1}}{\rm{.5)}}\).

d. What is the median checkout duration \({\rm{\tilde \mu }}\) ? (solve\({\rm{5 = F(\tilde \mu ))}}\).

e. Obtain the density function\({\rm{f(x)}}\).

f. Calculate\({\rm{E(X)}}\).

g. Calculate \({\rm{V(X)}}\)and\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}\).

h. If the borrower is charged an amount \({\rm{h(X) = }}{{\rm{X}}^{\rm{2}}}\) when checkout duration is\({\rm{X}}\), compute the expected charge\({\rm{E(h(X))}}\).

The article 鈥淪now Cover and Temperature Relationships in North America and Eurasia鈥� (J. Climate and Applied Meteorology, 1983: 460鈥�469) used statistical techniques to relate the amount of snow cover on each continent to average continental temperature. Data presented there included the following ten observations on October snow cover for Eurasia during the years 1970鈥�1979 (in million\({\bf{k}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)):

6.5 12.0 14.9 10.0 10.7 7.9 21.9 12.5 14.5 9.2

What would you report as a representative, or typical, value of October snow cover for this period, and what prompted your choice?
