Question: For the binomial sample information summarized in each part, indicate whether the sample size is large enough to use the methods of this chapter to construct a confidence interval for p.

a. n = 400,p^= .10

b. n = 50,p^= .10

c. n = 20,p^= .5

d. n = 20,p^= .3

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  1. Large
  2. Not large
  3. Not large
  4. Not large

Step by step solution

01

Determining whether the sample size is large when n is 400 and p⏞ is 0.10

a.TheproductofnandpÁåžandtheproductofnand(1-)isshownbelow:

As both the values are above 15, the sample size is quite large.

02

Determining whether the sample size is large when n is 50 and p⏜is 0.10


The product of n and pÁåžand the product of n and (1-pÁåž)is shown below:

As one of the values is not above 15, the sample size is not large.

03

Determining whether the sample size is large when n is 20 and p^ is 0.5

c.

The product of n and and the product of n and (1-) is shown below:

As both the values are not above 15, the sample size is not large.

04

Determining whether the sample size is large when n is 20 and p⏞ is 0.3

d.

The product of n and pÁåžand the product of n and (1-width="11">pÁåœ) is shown below:

As both the values are not above 15, the sample size is not large.

Surface roughness of pipe. Refer to the Anti-corrosion Methods and Materials (Vol. 50, 2003) study of the surface roughness of coated interior pipe used in oil fields, Exercise 2.46 (p. 96). The data (in micrometers) for sampled pipe sections are reproduced in the accompanying table; a Minitab analysis of the data appears below.

a.Locate a 95%confidence interval for the mean surface roughness of coated interior pipe on the accompanying Minitab printout.

b.Would you expect the average surface roughness to beas high as 2.5micrometres? Explain.

Question: A random sample of n measurements was selected from a population with unknown meanμand known standard deviationσ2. Calculate a 95% confidence interval forαfor each of the following situations:

a. n = 75, X = 28,σ2= 12

b. n = 200, X= 102, σ2= 22

c. n = 100, X= 15,σ2=.3

d. n = 100, X= 4.05, σ2= .83

e. Is the assumption that the underlying population of measurements is normally distributed necessary to ensure the validity of the confidence intervals in parts a–d? Explain.

Largest private companies. IPOs—initial public offerings of stock—create billions of dollars of new wealth for owners, managers, and employees of companies that were previously privately owned. Nevertheless, hundreds of large and thousands of small companies remain privately owned. The revenues of a random sample of 15 firms from Forbes 216 Largest Private Companies list are given in the table below

a. Describe the population from which the random sample was drawn.

b. Use a 98% confidence interval to estimate the mean revenue of the population of companies in question

c. Interpret your confidence interval in the context of the problem

d. What characteristic must the population possess to ensure the appropriateness of the estimation procedure used in part b?

e. Suppose Forbes reports that the true mean revenue of the 216 companies on the list is $5.0 billion. Is the claim believable?

Calculate the finite population correction factor for each

of the following situations:

a. n = 50, N = 2,000

b. n = 20, N = 100

c. n = 300, N = 1,500

Explain the difference between an interval estimator and a point estimator for μ
