Consider the next \({\rm{1000}}\) 95% CIs for m that a statistical consultant will obtain for various clients. Suppose the data sets on which the intervals are based are selected independently of one another. How many of these\({\rm{1000}}\)intervals do you expect to capture the corresponding value of m? What is the probability that between \({\rm{940 and 960}}\)Do these intervals contain the corresponding value of m? (Hint: Let Y = the number among the \({\rm{1000}}\) intervals that contain m. What kind of random variable is Y?)

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(P(940 \le Y \le 960) = 0.853\)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: 

Random variable Y is a binomial random variable with parameters \({\rm{1000}}\) and \({\rm{p = 95\% = 0}}{\rm{.95}}\) Proposition: For a binomial random variable X with parameters n, p, and q=\(1\)-p, the following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{E(X) = npn}}\\{\rm{V(X) = np(1 - p) = npqn}}\\{{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{X}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{npq}}} \end{array}\)

Therefore, the expected number among the 1000 to capture mu is

\({\rm{E(Y) = n \times p = 1000 \times 0}}{\rm{.95 = 950}}\)

In order to calculate the probability, the standard deviation is required to obtain the normalization of a binomial random variable. The standard deviation is

\({{\rm{\sigma }}_{\rm{Y}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{npq}}} {\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{1000 \times 0}}{\rm{.95 \times 0}}{\rm{.05}}} {\rm{ = 6}}{\rm{.892}}\)

02

To find the probability

Finally, the probability is

\(\begin{array}{l}P(940 \le Y \le 960) = P\left( {\frac{{940 - 950}}{{6.892}} \le \frac{{Y - E(Y)}}{{{\sigma _Y}}} \le \frac{{960 - 950}}{{6.892}}} \right)\\ = P( - 1.45 \le Z \le 1.45)\\ = P(Z \le 1.45) - P(Z \le - 1.45)\end{array}\)

from the normal probability table in the appendix. The probability can also be computed with software.

Hence the kind of random variable y is

\(P(940 \le Y \le 960) = 0.853\)

The article 鈥淐oncrete Pressure on Formwork鈥 (Mag. of Concrete Res., 2009: 407鈥417) gave the following observations on maximum concrete pressure (kN/m2 ):

33.2 41.8 37.3 40.2 36.7 39.1 36.2 41.8

36.0 35.2 36.7 38.9 35.8 35.2 40.1

a.Is it plausible that this sample was selected from a normal population distribution?

b. Calculate an upper confidence bound with confidence level 95% for the population standard deviation of maximum pressure.

Wire electrical-discharge machining (WEDM) is a process used to manufacture conductive hard metal components. It uses a continuously moving wire that serves as an electrode. Coating on the wire electrode allows for

cooling of the wire electrode core and provides an improved cutting performance. The article 鈥淗ighPerformance Wire Electrodes for Wire ElectricalDischarge Machining鈥擜 Review鈥 gave the following sample observations on total coating layer thickness (in mm) of eight wire electrodes used for

WEDM: \({\rm{21 16 29 35 42 24 24 25}}\)

Calculate a \({\rm{99\% }}\)CI for the standard deviation of the coating layer thickness distribution. Is this interval valid whatever the nature of the distribution? Explain.

Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty is used to correct congenital nose deformities. The success of the procedure depends on various biomechanical properties of the human nasal periosteum and fascia. The article 鈥淏iomechanics in Augmentation Rhinoplasty鈥 reported that for a sample of 15 (newly deceased) adults, the mean failure strain (%) was 25.0, and the standard deviation was 3.5.

a. Assuming a normal distribution for failure strain, estimate true average strain in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability.

b. Predict the strain for a single adult in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. How does the prediction compare to the estimate calculated in part (a)?

The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations have become more popular . Starting in 2003, highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients the increased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence of squeaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one study of 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hips developed squeaking.

a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the \({\rm{95\% }}\)confidence level for the true proportion of such hips that develop squeaking.

b. Interpret the \({\rm{95\% }}\)confidence level used in (a).

The superintendent of a large school district, having once had a course in probability and statistics, believes that the number of teachers absent on any given day has a Poisson distribution with parameter m. Use the accompanying data on absences for 50 days to obtain a large sample CI for m. (Hint: The mean and variance of a Poisson variable both equal m, so

\({\rm{Z = }}\frac{{{\rm{\bar X - \mu }}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{\mu /n}}} }}\)

has approximately a standard normal distribution. Now proceed as in the derivation of the interval for p by making a probability statement and solving the resulting inequalities for m
