Chapter 6: Q83E (page 367)

Suppose N= 10,000, n= 2,000, and s= 50.

a. Compute the standard error of xusing the finite populationcorrection factor.

b. Repeat part a assuming n= 4,000.

c. Repeat part a assuming n= 10,000.

d. Compare parts a, b, and c and describe what happens to the standard error of xas nincreases.

e. The answer to part c is 0. This indicates that there is no sampling error in this case. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The standard error is 1

b. The standard error is 0.6124

c. The standard error is 0

d. The standard error decrease as the sample size increase

e. In part(c) there is no sampling error because the sample size is equal to the population size

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Suppose N= 10,000, n= 2,000, and s= 50.

02

Calculating the standard error

a.

For N= 10,000, n= 2,000, and s= 50.

The standard error is

蟽^x炉=snN鈭�nN=50200010000鈭�200010000=1

03

Calculating the standard error

b.

For N= 10,000, n= 4,000, and s= 50.

The standard error is

蟽^x炉=snN鈭�nN=50400010000鈭�400010000=0.6124

04

 Step 4: Calculating the standard error

c.

For N= 10,000, n= 10,000, and s= 50.

The standard error is

蟽^x炉=snN鈭�nN=501000010000鈭�1000010000=0

05

Step 5:

d.

The standard error decrease as the sample size increase

06

Explanation for zero sampling error

e.

In part(c) there is no sampling error because the sample size is equal to the population size. i.e, all population units are taken that is why the sampling error is zero.

Suppose you wish to estimate the mean of a normal population

using a 95% confidence interval, and you know from prior information that蟽2鈮�1

a. To see the effect of the sample size on the width of the confidence interval, calculate the width of the confidence interval for n= 16, 25, 49, 100, and 400.

b. Plot the width as a function of sample size non graph paper. Connect the points by a smooth curve and note how the width decreases as nincreases.

Suppose you want to estimate a population mean,渭,and,x炉=422,s=14,N=375andn=40.Find an approximate 95% confidence interval for渭.

Jitter in a water power system. Jitter is a term used to describe the variation in conduction time of a water power system. Low throughput jitter is critical to successful waterline technology. An investigation of throughput jitter in the opening switch of a prototype system (Journal of Applied Physics) yielded the following descriptive statistics on conduction time for n = 18 trials:x=334.8 nanoseconds, s = 6.3 nanoseconds. (Conduction time is defined as the length of time required for the downstream current to equal 10% of the upstream current.)

a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true standard deviation of conduction times of the prototype system.

b. Practically interpret the confidence interval, part a.

c. A system is considered to have low throughput jitter if the true conduction time standard deviation is less than 7 nanoseconds. Does the prototype system satisfy this requirement? Explain.

Study of aircraft bird strikes. Refer to the InternationalJournal for Traffic and Transport Engineering(Vol. 3,2013) study of aircraft bird strikes at a Nigerian airport,Exercise 6.54 (p. 357). Recall that an air traffic controller

wants to estimate the true proportion of aircraft bird strikesthat occur above 100 feet. Determine how many aircraftbird strikes need to be analyzed to estimate the true proportionto within .05 if you use a 95% confidence interval.

Shopping on Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving鈥� called Black Friday鈥攊s one of the largest shopping days in the United States. Winthrop University researchers conducted interviews with a sample of 38 women shopping on Black Friday to gauge their shopping habits and reported the results in the International Journal of Retail and Distribution Management (Vol. 39, 2011). One question was, 鈥淗ow many hours do you usually spend shopping on Black Friday?鈥� Data for the 38 shoppers are listed in the accompanying table.

a. Describe the population of interest to the researchers.

b. What is the quantitative variable of interest to the researchers?

c. Use the information in the table to estimate the population mean number of hours spent shopping on Black Friday with a 95% confidence interval.

d. Give a practical interpretation of the interval.

e. A retail store advertises that the true mean number of hours spent shopping on Black Friday is 5.5 hours. Can the store be sued for false advertising? Explain.
