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.)

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\({\rm{1,601,438}}{\rm{.281}}\).

Exposure to microbial products, especially endotoxin, may have an impact on vulnerability to allergic diseases. The article 鈥淒ust Sampling Methods for Endotoxin鈥擜n Essential, But Underestimated Issue鈥 (Indoor Air,2006: 20鈥27) considered various issues associated with determining endotoxin concentration. The following data on concentration (EU/mg) in settled dust for one sample of urban homes and another of farm homes was kindly supplied by the authors of the cited article.

U: 6.0 5.0 11.0 33.0 4.0 5.0 80.0 18.0 35.0 17.0 23.0

F: 4.0 14.0 11.0 9.0 9.0 8.0 4.0 20.0 5.0 8.9 21.0

9.2 3.0 2.0 0.3

  1. Determine the sample mean for each sample. How do they compare?
  2. Determine the sample median for each sample. How do they compare? Why is the median for the urban sample so different from the mean for that sample?
  3. Calculate the trimmed mean for each sample by deleting the smallest and largest observation. What are the corresponding trimming percentages? How do the values of these trimmed means compare to the corresponding means and medians?

The article 鈥淪tatistical Modeling of the Time Courseof Tantrum Anger鈥 (Annals of Applied Stats, 2009:1013鈥1034) discussed how anger intensity in children鈥檚 tantrums could be related to tantrumduration as well as behavioral indicators such asshouting, stamping, and pushing or pulling. The followingfrequency distribution was given (and also

the corresponding histogram):

0-<2: 136 2-<4: 92 4-<11: 71

11-<20: 26 20-<30: 7 30-<40: 3

Draw the histogram and then comment on any interesting features.

The actual tracking weight of a stereo cartridge that is set to track at \({\rm{3 g}}\) on a particular changer can be regarded as a continuous rv \({\rm{X}}\) with pdf

\({\rm{f(x) = \{ }}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{k(1 - (x - 3}}{{\rm{)}}^2})}&{{\rm{2}} \le {\rm{x}} \le {\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{otherwise}}}\end{array}\)

a. Sketch the graph of \({\rm{f(x)}}\).

b. Find the value of \({\rm{k}}\).

c. What is the probability that the actual tracking weight is greater than the prescribed weight?

d. What is the probability that the actual weight is within \({\rm{.25 g}}\) of the prescribed weight?

e. What is the probability that the actual weight differs from the prescribed weight by more than \({\rm{.5 g}}\)?

Blood pressure values are often reported to the nearest5 mmHg (100, 105, 110, etc.). Suppose the actual bloodpressure values for nine randomly selected individuals are

118.6 127.4 138.4 130.0 113.7 122.0 108.3131.5 133.2

  1. What is the median of the reportedblood pressure values?
  2. Suppose the blood pressure of the second individual is 127.6 rather than 127.4 (a small change in a single value). How does this affect the median of the reported values? What does this say about the sensitivity of the median to rounding or grouping in the data?

Mercury is a persistent and dispersive environmental contaminantfound in many ecosystems around the world.When released as an industrial by-product, it often finds itsway into aquatic systems where it can have deleteriouseffects on various avian and aquatic species. The accompanyingdata on blood mercury concentration (mg/g) for adult

females near contaminated rivers in Virginia was read from a graph in the article 鈥淢ercury Exposure Effects the Reproductive Success of a Free-Living Terrestrial Songbird, the Carolina Wren鈥 (The Auk, 2011: 759鈥769;this is a publication of the American Ornithologists鈥 Union).

.20 .22 .25 .30 .34 .41 .55 .56

1.42 1.70 1.83 2.20 2.25 3.07 3.25
