Short Answer

Expert verified

a.

The relationship between\(\bar x\)and\(\bar y\)is:\(\bar y = a\bar x + b\).

The relationship between\(s_x^2\)and\(s_y^2\)is:\(s_y^2 = {a^2}s_x^2\).

b.

The sample average is 189.14 Fahrenheit.

The sample standard deviation is 1.872 Fahrenheit.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

There are two constants a and b.

\({y_i} = a{x_i} + b\)for i=1,2,鈥,n.

The average temperature for initiating a certain chemical reaction is 87.3 degrees Celsius.

The sample standard deviation is 1.04.

02

Describing the relationship between the sample means

The sample mean of x is given as,

\(\bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n}\)

The sample of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar y &=& \frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + ... + {y_n}}}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{\left( {a{x_1} + b} \right) + \left( {a{x_2} + b} \right) + ... + \left( {a{x_n} + b} \right)}}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{a\left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_n}} \right) + nb}}{n}\\ &=& a\frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} + b\\ &=& a\bar x + b\end{array}\)

Thus, the relationship between \(\bar x\) and \(\bar y\) is \(\bar y = a\bar x + b\).

03

Describing the relationship between the sample variance

The sample variance of x is given as,

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

The sample variance of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s_y^2 &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{y_i} - \bar y} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} + b - \left( {a\bar x + b} \right)} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} + b - \left( {a\bar x + b} \right)} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {a{x_i} - a\bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{{a^2}\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& {a^2}s_x^2\end{array}\)

Therefore, the relationship between \(s_x^2\) and \(s_y^2\) is: \(s_y^2 = {a^2}s_x^2\).

04

Computing the average in Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit in Celsius is given as,

\(F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32\)

Since the average is affected by the change of origin and scale.

The sample average measured in Fahrenheit is computed as,

\(\frac{9}{5}\left( {87.3} \right) + 32 = 189.14\)

Therefore, the sample average is 189.14 Fahrenheit.

05

Computing the standard deviation in Fahrenheit.

Since the standard deviation is affected by only the change of scale.

The sample standard deviation measured in Fahrenheit is computed as,

\(\frac{9}{5}\left( {1.04} \right) = 1.872\)

Therefore, the sample standard deviation is 1.872 Fahrenheit.

a. What proportion of the observations are less than 5?

b. What proportion of the observations are at least 6?

c. Construct a histogram with relative frequency on the vertical axis and comment on interesting features. In particular, does the distribution of particle sizes appear to be reasonably symmetric or somewhat skewed? (Note:The investigators fit lognormaldistribution to the data; this is discussed in Chapter 4.)

d. Construct a histogram with density on the vertical axis and compare to the histogram in (c).

Let \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}.....{\rm{,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{n}}}\) represent a random sample from the Rayleigh distribution with density function given in Exercise \({\rm{15}}\).

Is this estimator the same as the unbiased estimator suggested in Exercise \({\rm{15}}\)? b. The mle of the median of the vibratory stress distribution. (Hint: First express the median in terms of \({\rm{\theta }}\).)

d. If \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.5}}\) thousand gallons are in stock at the beginning of the week and no new supply is due in during the week, how much of the \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.5}}\) thousand gallons is expected to be left at the end of the week?

Consider the following sample of observations on coating thickness for low-viscosity paint ("Achieving a Target Value for a Manufacturing Process: \({\rm{A}}\)Case Study, \({\rm{97}}\)J. of Quality Technology, \({\rm{1992:22 - 26}}\)):

In a famous experiment carried out in 1882, Michelson,and Newcomb obtained 66 observations on the time it took for light to travel between two locations in Washington, D.C. A few of the measurements(coded in a certain manner) were 31, 23, 32, 36, 22, 26, 27, and 31.

a. Why are these measurements not identical?

b. Is this an enumerative study? Why or why not?
