Independent random samples from two populations with standard deviations 1=2补苍诲蟽2=8, respectively, are selected. The sample sizes and the sample means are recorded in the following table:

Sample 1

Sample 2

n1=58x1=17.5

n2=62x2=16.23

a. Calculate the standard error of the sampling distribution for Sample 1.

b. Calculate the standard error of the sampling distribution for Sample 2.

c. Suppose you were to calculate the difference between the sample means (x1x2). Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution (x1x2).

d. Will the statistic (x1x2) be normally distributed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sample means distribution is described as the collection of averages from all feasible randomly selected of a certain size (n) drawn from a particular population.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Central Limit Theorem.

According to theCentral Limit Theorem,the sampling distribution of the sample means approaches a normal distribution, irrespective of the shape of population distribution if the sample size is over 30.

A statistic's standard error is the estimated standard deviation of a statistics population sample.

02

(a) Find the standard error for Sample 1.

It is given that,x1=17.5, 1=2, and n1=58.

The standard error is localid="1652760610266" nand localid="1652760613813" 1=x1

So,

1=17.5

Standard error for Sample 1 =localid="1652760584440" 1n1

=258=0.26

Therefore, the standard error of the sampling distribution for Sample 1 is 0.26.

03

(b) Find the interval extending standard deviations x¯2 on each side μ2. 

It is given that, x1=16.23,1=8, and n1=62.

The standard error is nand2=x2

So,

2=16.23

The standard error for Sample 2 =role="math" localid="1652760921438" 2n2

=862=1.02

Therefore, the standard error of the sampling distribution for Sample 2 is 1.02.

04

(c) Find the mean as well as the standard error of the sampling distribution (x¯1− x¯2).

It is given that, 1=17.5, 2=16.23, 1=2, 2=8,n1=58, and n2=62

x1x2=12=17.516.23=1.27

role="math" localid="1652761176006" x1x2=12n1+22n2=458+6462=1.1012=1.05

Therefore, the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution(x1x2) are1.27 and 1.05respectively.

05

(d) State the distribution of (x¯1− x¯2)

The difference in sample means will be normally distributed according to the Central Limit Theorem as n>30.

Non-destructive evaluation. Non-destructive evaluation(NDE) describes methods that quantitatively characterize materials, tissues, and structures by non-invasive means, such as X-ray computed tomography, ultrasonic, and acoustic emission. Recently, NDE was used to detect defects in steel castings (JOM,May 2005). Assume that the probability that NDE detects a 鈥渉it鈥 (i.e., predicts a defect in a steel casting) when, in fact, a defect exists is .97. (This is often called the probability of detection.) Also assume that the probability that NDE detects a hit when, in fact, no defect exists is .005. (This is called the probability of a false call.) Past experience has shown a defect occurs once in every 100 steel castings. If NDE detects a hit for a particular steel casting, what is the probability that an actual defect exists?

Suppose you want to estimate the difference between two population means correct to within 1.8 with a 95% confidence interval. If prior information suggests that the population variances are approximately equal to 12=22=14 and you want to select independent random samples of equal size from the populations, how large should the sample sizes n1, and n2, be?

Find a value of the standard normal random variable z, call it z0, such that

a.P(zz0)=0.2090b.P(zz0)=0.7090c.P(-z0z<z0)=0.8472d.P(-z0z<z0)=0.1664e.P(z0zz0)=0.4798f.P(-1<z<z0)

Question: Two independent random samples have been selected鈥100 observations from population 1 and 100 from population 2. Sample means x1=26.6,x2= 15.5 were obtained. From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are12=9and22=16 .

a. Find (x1-x2).

b. Sketch the approximate sampling distribution for (x1-x2), assuming (1-2)=10.

c. Locate the observed value of (x1-x2)the graph you drew in part

b. Does it appear that this value contradicts the null hypothesis H0:(1-2)=10?

d. Use the z-table to determine the rejection region for the test againstH0:(1-2)10. Use=0.5.

e. Conduct the hypothesis test of part d and interpret your result.

f. Construct a confidence interval for 1-2. Interpret the interval.

g. Which inference provides more information about the value of 1-2鈥 the test of hypothesis in part e or the confidence interval in part f?

Working on summer vacation. According to a Harris Interactive (July 2013) poll of U.S. adults, about 60% work during their summer vacation. (See Exercise 3.13, p. 169.) Assume that the true proportion of all U.S. adults who work during summer vacation is p = .6. Now consider a random sample of 500 U.S. adults.

a. What is the probability that between 55% and 65% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation?

b. What is the probability that over 75% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation?
