Short Answer

Expert verified

A sampling distribution is the chance distribution of a pattern in data from a greater sample size gathered from a certain population. It depicts the spectrum of probable outcomes of statistics, including the mean as well as the mode of a parameter, in the same way as it characterizes a population.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: (a) The data is given below

Given data,

s2=(-)2n1

The calculation is given below:

The sample (1, 1) -=1

s2=[(11)2+(11)2]/1=0

The sample (1, 3) -=1

s2=[(11)2+(11)2]/1=0

The sample (1, 2) -=1.5

s2=[(115)2+(21.5)2]/1=0

To calculate the s2values for every sample remaining

Sample Distribution of s2is

02

(b) Population variance

The calculation is given below:

Populationvariance2=(12.7)2(0.2)+(22.7)2(0.3)+(32.7)2(0.2)+(42.7)2(0.2)+(52.7)2(0.1)=0.578+.147+.018+.338+.529=1.61

03

(c) Unbiased estimator

The calculation is given below:

To demonstrate the s2is an unbiased estimator 2

Using the sampling distribution of s2

=(0)(0.22)+(0.5)(0.36)+(2)(0.24)+(4.5)+(.14)+(8)(.04)=0+.18+.48+.63+.32=1.61

04

(d) Sampling distribution

The calculation is given below:

05

(e) Sampling distribution

The calculation is given below:

S from the sampling distribution

=(0)(0.22)+(0.707)(0.36)+(1.414)(0.24)+(2.121)+(0.14)+(2.828)(.04)=0+.255+.339+.297+.113=1.004

But,

=2=1.61=1.2691.004

So, s is a biased estimator of localid="1662357666676" .

Exposure to a chemical in Teflon-coated cookware. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a chemical used in Teflon-coated cookware to prevent food from sticking. The EPA is investigating the potential risk of PFOA as a cancer-causing agent (Science News Online, August 27, 2005). It is known that the blood concentration of PFOA in people in the general population has a mean of parts per billion (ppb) and a standard deviation of ppb. Science News Online reported on tests for PFOA exposure conducted on a sample of 326 people who live near DuPont鈥檚 Teflon-making Washington (West Virginia) Works facility.

a. What is the probability that the average blood concentration of PFOA in the sample is greater than 7.5 ppb?

b. The actual study resulted in x=300ppb. Use this information to make an inference about the true meanPFOA concentration for the population of people who live near DuPont鈥檚 Teflon facility.

Improving SAT scores. Refer to the Chance(Winter2001) examination of Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)scores of students who pay a private tutor to help them improve their results, Exercise 2.88 (p. 113). On the SAT鈥擬athematics test, these students had a mean score change of +19 points, with a standard deviation of 65 points. In a random sample of 100 students who pay a private tutor to help them improve their results, what is the likelihood that the sample mean score change is less than 10 points?

Analysis of supplier lead time. Lead timeis the time betweena retailer placing an order and having the productavailable to satisfy customer demand. It includes time for placing the order, receiving the shipment from the supplier, inspecting the units received, and placing them in inventory. Interested in average lead time,, for a particular supplier of men鈥檚 apparel, the purchasing department of a national department store chain randomly sampled 50 of the supplier鈥檚 lead times and found= 44 days.

  1. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution ofx.
  2. If and are really 40 and 12, respectively, what is the probability that a second random sample of size 50 would yieldx greater than or equal to 44?
  3. Using the values for and in part b, what is the probability that a sample of size 50 would yield a sample mean within the interval 2n?

Question: Hotel guest satisfaction. Refer to the results of the 2015 North American Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study, Exercise 4.49 (p. 239). Recall that 15% of hotel guests were 鈥渄elighted鈥 with their experience (giving a rating of 10 out of 10); of these guests, 80% stated they would 鈥渄efinitely鈥 recommend the hotel. In a random sample of 100 hotel guests, find the probability that fewer than 10 were delighted with their stay and would recommend the hotel.

Purchasing decision. A building contractor has decided to purchase a load of the factory-reject aluminum siding as long as the average number of flaws per piece of siding in a sample of size 35 from the factory's reject pile is 2.1 or less. If it is known that the number of flaws per piece of siding in the factory's reject pile has a Poisson probability distribution with a mean of 2.5, find the approximate probability that the contractor will not purchase a load of siding
