Chapter 1: Q9E (page 12)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.Nonidenticalmeasurements are because of the errors such as recording error, measurement error etc.

b.The study is not enumerative.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of observations Michelson and Newcomb obtained on the time it took for the light to travel between two locations is 66.

A few measurements that were coded in a certain manner are 31,23,32,36,22,26,27, and 31.

02

Explain the reason for nonidentical measurements.

a.

The provided measurements are nonidentical because ofcertain errorssuch as measurement error, changing of the environment when recoding the time, recoding error etc.

03

Check whether the study is enumerative.

b.

The study is said to beenumerativeif the population from which the sample is selected is finite and identifiable.

In the provided scenario, the population data is not provided. Therefore, it is not an enumerative study.

Give one possible sample of size 4 from each of the following

populations:

a. All daily newspapers published in the United States

b. All companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange

c. All students at your college or university

d. All grade point averages of students at your college or university

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.?

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.)

Blood cocaine concentration (mg/L) was determined both for a sample of individuals who had died from cocaine-induced excited delirium (ED) and for a sample of those who had died from a cocaine overdose without excited delirium; survival time for people in both groups was at most 6 hours. The accompanying data was read from a comparative boxplot in the article 鈥淔atal Excited Delirium Following Cocaine Use鈥� (J.

of Forensic Sciences, 1997: 25鈥�31).

c. Construct a comparative boxplot, and use it as a basis for comparing and contrasting the ED and non-ED samples.

The amount of flow through a solenoid valve in an automobile鈥檚

pollution-control system is an important characteristic. An experiment was carried out to study how flow rate depended on three factors: armature length, spring load, and bobbin depth. Two different levels (low and high) of each factor were chosen, and a single observation on flow was made for each combination oflevels.

a. The resulting data set consisted of how manyobservations?

b. Is this an enumerative or analytic study? Explainyour reasoning.
