Chapter 1: Q7E (page 12)

A certain city divides naturally into ten district neighborhoods.How might a real estate appraiser select a sample of single-family homes that could be used as a basis for developing an equation to predict appraised value from characteristics such as age, size, number of bathrooms, distance to the nearest school, and so on? Is the study enumerative or analytic?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Simple random sampling and stratified random sampling can be used as a basis for developing an equation to predict appraised value from different characteristics.

The study is enumerative.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The district neighbourhoods of a certain city are divided into ten.

02

Describe how a sample of single-family homes could be selected

The sampling procedures that can be used are:

1. Simple Random sampling:Simple random sampling can be used to select the sample of all single-family homes in the city. With this method, biasedness will be eliminated.

2. Stratified Random Sampling:With this method, a simple random sample from each of 10 district neighborhoods can be drawn and from each of the selected homes, the values of the desired variables can be determined.

03

Check whether the study is enumerative or analytic

An enumerative study is a study where the population is finite whereas an analytic study is a study where the population from which a sample is drawn is nonidentifiable.

The provided study is an enumerative study because the population from which the sample needs to be selected is finite and identifiable.

A sample of 26 offshore oil workers took part in a simulated escape exercise, resulting in the accompanying data on time (sec) to complete the escape (鈥淥xygen Consumption and Ventilation During Escape from an Offshore Platform,鈥� Ergonomics, 1997: 281鈥�292):

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data. How does it suggest that the sample mean and median will compare?

b. Calculate the values of the sample mean and median.(Hint:\(\sum {{x_i} = } \)9638.)

c. By how much could the largest time, currently 424, be increased without affecting the value of the sample median? By how much could this value be decreased without affecting the value of the sample median?

d. What are the values of \(\bar x\)and \(\tilde x\), when the observations are re expressed in minutes?

One piece of PVC pipe is to be inserted inside another piece. The length of the first piece is normally distributed with mean value \({\rm{20}}\) in. and standard deviation \({\rm{.5}}\) in. The length of the second piece is a normal \({\rm{rv}}\)with mean and standard deviation \({\rm{15}}\) in. and \({\rm{.4}}\) in., respectively. The amount of overlap is normally distributed with mean value \({\rm{1}}\) in. and standard deviation \({\rm{.1}}\) in. Assuming that the lengths and amount of overlap are independent of one another, what is the probability that the total length after insertion is between \({\rm{34}}{\rm{.5 }}\) in. and \({\rm{35}}\) in.?

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.

Every corporation has a governing board of directors. The number of individuals on a board varies from one corporation to another. One of the authors of the article 鈥淒oes Optimal Corporate Board Size Exist? An Empirical Analysis鈥� (J. of Applied Finance, 2010: 57鈥�69) provided the accompanying data on the number of directors on each board in a random sample of 204 corporations.

No. directors: 4 5 6 7 8 9

Frequency: 3 12 13 25 24 42

No. directors: 10 11 12 13 14 15

Frequency: 23 19 16 11 5 4

No. directors: 16 17 21 24 32

Frequency: 1 3 1 1 1

a. Construct a histogram of the data based on relative frequencies and comment on any interesting features.

b. Construct a frequency distribution in which the last row includes all boards with at least 18 directors. If this distribution had appeared in the cited article, would you be able to draw a histogram? Explain.

c. What proportion of these corporations have at most 10 directors?

d. What proportion of these corporations have more than 15 directors?

If the amount of soft drink that I consume on any given day is independent of consumption on any other day and is normally distributed with\(\mu = 13\)oz and\(\sigma = 2\)and if I currently have two six-packs of\({\bf{16}}\)-oz bottles, what is the probability that I still have some soft drink left at the end of\({\bf{2}}\)weeks?
