The sample standard deviation of z is 1.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Given information

A sample of size n is \({x_1},{x_2},...,{x_n}\).

02

Computing the sample standard deviation and sample variance

a.

Let\({y_i} = {x_i} - \bar x\)for\(i = 1,2,...,n\).

The sample mean of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar y &=& \frac{{\sum {{y_i}} }}{n}\\ &=& \frac{1}{n}\sum {{y_i}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{n}\sum {\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)} \\ &=& \frac{1}{n}\sum {{x_i}} - \bar x\\ &=& \bar x - \bar x\\ &=& 0\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample mean of y is 0.

The sample variance of y is computed as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s_y^2 &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{y_i} - \bar y} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{y_i} - 0} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{y_i}} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& s_x^2\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample variance of y is\(s_x^2\).

The sample standard deviation of y is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_y} &=& \sqrt {s_y^2} \\ &=& \sqrt {s_x^2} \\ &=& {s_x}\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample standard deviation of y is \({s_x}\).

03

Computing the sample standard deviation and sample variance

b.

Let\({z_i} = \frac{{{x_i} - \bar x}}{s}\)for\(i = 1,2,...,n\).

The sample mean of z is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar z &=& \frac{{\sum {{z_i}} }}{n}\\ &=& \frac{1}{n}\sum {{z_i}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{n}\sum {\frac{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}}{{{s_x}}}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{{s_x}}}\frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} - \bar x\\ &=& \frac{1}{{{s_x}}}\bar x - \bar x\\ &=& 0\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample mean of z is 0.

The sample variance of z is computed as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s_z^2 &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{z_i} - \bar z} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{z_i} - 0} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{z_i}} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\frac{{{x_i} - \bar x}}{{{s_x}}}} \right)}^2}} \\ &=& \frac{1}{{s_x^2}}\left( {\frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} } \right)\\ &=& \frac{1}{{s_x^2}}*s_x^2\\ &=& 1\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample variance of z is 1.

The sample standard deviation of z is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s_z} &=& \sqrt {s_z^2} \\ &=& \sqrt 1 \\ &=& 1\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample standard deviation of z is 1.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collects demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health related information on an annual basis. Here is a sample of \({\rm{20}}\) observations on HDL cholesterol level \({\rm{(mg/dl)}}\) obtained from the \({\rm{2009 - 2010}}\) survey (HDL is 鈥済ood鈥 cholesterol; the higher its value, the lower the risk for heart disease):

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{35 49 52 54 65 51 51}}\\{\rm{47 86 36 46 33 39 45}}\\{\rm{39 63 95 35 30 48}}\end{array}\)

a. Calculate a point estimate of the population mean HDL cholesterol level.

b. Making no assumptions about the shape of the population distribution, calculate a point estimate of the value that separates the largest \({\rm{50\% }}\) of HDL levels from the smallest \({\rm{50\% }}\).

c. Calculate a point estimate of the population standard deviation.

d. An HDL level of at least \({\rm{60}}\) is considered desirable as it corresponds to a significantly lower risk of heart disease. Making no assumptions about the shape of the population distribution, estimate the proportion \({\rm{p}}\) of the population having an HDL level of at least \({\rm{60}}\).

a. Construct a histogram for the ydata. What proportion of these subdivisions had no culs-de-sac? At least one cul-de-sac?

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?

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.
