As an example of a situation in which several different statis tics could reasonably be used to calculate a point estimate, consider a population of N invoices. Associated with each invoice is its 鈥渂ook value,鈥 the recorded amount of that invoice. Let T denote the total book value, a known amount. Some of these book values are erroneous. An audit will be carried out by randomly selecting n invoices and determining the audited (correct) value for each one. Suppose that the sample gives the following

\({\rm{T}}\)- sample mean book value

\(\bar X\)- sample mean advised value

\({\rm{\bar D}}\)- sample mean errors

Propose three different statistics for estimating the total audited (i.e., correct) value-one involving just N and,another involving T, N, and \({\rm{\bar D,}}\) and the last involving T and \({\rm{\bar X/\bar Y}}{\rm{.}}\)If \({\rm{N = 5000}}\)and T=1,761,300, calculate the three corresponding point estimates. (The article "Statistical Models and Analysis in Auditing," Statistical Science, 1989: 2-33 discusses properties of these estimators.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.The estimated value is\({\rm{1,704,000}}\).

b.The estimated value is\({\rm{1,591,300}}\).

c.The estimated value is\({\rm{1,601,438}}{\rm{.281}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Concept introduction

The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the variability, or dispersion, between individual data values and the mean, whereas the standard error of the mean (SEM) is a measure of how far the sample mean (average) of the data is expected to differ from the genuine population mean. Always, the SEM is smaller than the SD.

02

Calculating the total audited values

The total audited values are denoted by\({\theta _T}\).

First, using simply\(N\)and\(\bar X\)the following statistic can be employed.

\({{\rm{\hat \theta }}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ = N \times \bar X}}\)

Which is simply the \(N\) invoice multiplied by the average.

Second, using\({\rm{N \times \bar X}}\), and\(\bar D\), the following statistic can be employed.

\({{\rm{\hat \theta }}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ = T - N \times \bar D}}\)

When the total sample mean error is deducted from the total book value, the total book value is the result.

Third, using \(T\)and \(\bar X/\bar Y\),the following statistic can be employed.

This is the quotient of the sample mean audited value and the sample mean book average multiplied by the total book value: \({{\rm{\hat \theta }}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{3}}}}}{\rm{ = T \times }}\frac{{{\rm{\bar X}}}}{{{\rm{\bar Y}}}}\)

03

Estimating the point using the invoice table

Consider the given,

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{N = 5000 }}\\{\rm{T = 1,761,300}}\end{array}\)

The point estimations can be determined using the invoice table and the invoice table

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\bar y = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{5}}}{\rm{(300 + 720 + 526 + 200 + 127)}}\\{\rm{ = 374}}{\rm{.6}}\end{array}\)

The average audited value in the sample is

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\bar x = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{5}}}{\rm{(300 + 520 + 526 + 200 + 157)}}\\{\rm{ = 340}}{\rm{.6,}}\end{array}\)

Where the standard deviation of the sample mean error is

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\bar d = }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{5}}}{\rm{(0 + 200 + 0 + 0 - 30)}}\\{\rm{ = 34}}\end{array}\)

As a result, the point estimations

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{\& }}{{{\rm{\hat \theta }}}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{1}}}}}{\rm{ = N \times \bar x = 5000 \times 340}}{\rm{.6}}\\{\rm{ = 1,704,000,}}\\{\rm{n\& }}{{{\rm{\hat \theta }}}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{2}}}}}{\rm{ = T - N \times \bar d = 1,761,300 - 5,000 \times 34}}{\rm{.0}}\\{\rm{ = 1,591,300,}}\\{{{\rm{\hat \theta }}}_{{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{3}}}}}{\rm{ = T \times }}\frac{{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{{{\rm{\bar y}}}}\\{\rm{ = 1,761,300 \times }}\frac{{{\rm{340}}{\rm{.6}}}}{{{\rm{374}}{\rm{.6}}}}\\{\rm{ = 1,601,438}}{\rm{.281}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the required estimated value is\({\rm{1,601,438}}{\rm{.281}}\).

Fretting is a wear process that results from tangential oscillatory movements of small amplitude in machine parts. The article 鈥淕rease Effect on Fretting Wear of Mild Steel鈥 (Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2008: 67鈥78) included the following data on volume wear (1024 mm3 ) for base oils having four different viscosities.

a. The sample coefficient of variation 100s/x-bar assesses the extent of variability relative to the mean (specifically, the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean). Calculate the coefficient of variation for the
sample at each viscosity. Then compare the results and comment.
b. Construct a comparative boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.

The three measures of center introduced in this chapter are the mean, median, and trimmed mean. Two additional measures of center that are occasionally used are the midrange,which is the average of the smallest and largest observations, and the midfourth,which is the average of the two fourths. Which of these five measures of center are resistant to the effects of outliers and which are not? Explain your reasoning.

A trial has just resulted in a hung jury because eight members of the jury were in favour of a guilty verdict and the other four were for acquittal. If the jurors leave the jury room in random order and each of the first four leaving the room is accosted by a reporter in quest of an interview, what is the\({\rm{pmf}}\)of\({\rm{X = }}\)the number of jurors favouring acquittal among those interviewed? How many of those favouring acquittal do you expect to be interviewed?

A Pareto diagram is a variation of a histogram forcategorical data resulting from a quality control study.Each category represents a different type of product non-conformity or production problem. The categories areordered so that the one with the largest frequencyappears on the far left, then the category with the secondlargest frequency, and so on. Suppose the following information on nonconformities in circuit packs isobtained: failed component, 126; incorrect component,210; insufficient solder, 67; excess solder, 54; missingcomponent, 131. Construct a Pareto diagram.

Automated electron backscattered diffraction is now being used in the study of fracture phenomena.
