Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that random samples of n measurements are selected from a population with mean μ=100and varianceσ2=100

02

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean  x forn=4

1)

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of xμx=μ

andσx=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

μx=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

σx¯=104=5

Hence,localid="1657969487969" μ=100,&=5

03

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x¯ for n=25

2)

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x¯μx=μ

and σx¯=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is 100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

μx¯=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

σx¯=1025=2

Hence,μ=100&=2μ=100,&=2

04

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x¯ for n=100

3)

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x¯

localid="1661429991977" μx¯=μand localid="1661429999797" σx¯=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is 100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

μx¯=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

σx¯=10100=1

Hence, μ=100,&=1

05

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x¯ for n=50

4)


According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x¯

localid="1661430016184" μx¯=μand localid="1661430023389" σx¯=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is 100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

μx¯=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

σx¯=1050=107.07=1.41

Hence, μ=100,&=1.41

06

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean x¯ for n=500

5)

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x¯localid="1661430049695" μx¯=μ

and localid="1661430042149" σx¯=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is 100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

localid="1657972123948" μx¯=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

localid="1657972184826" σx¯=10500=1022.36=0.447

Hence, μ=100,&=0.447

07

Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean  x¯ for n=1000 

6)

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x¯μx¯=μ

andσx¯=σn

But, mean is 100 and standard deviation is100i.e.σ=10

Therefore, the mean of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

x¯=μ=100

Standard deviation of sampling distribution of the sample mean is

σx¯=10500=1031.62=0.316

Hence,μ=100,&=0.316

Salary of a travel management professional. According to the most recent Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) survey, the average base salary of a U.S. travel management professional is \(94,000. Assume that the standard deviation of such salaries is \)30,000. Consider a random sample of 50 travel management professionals and let χ¯ represent the mean salary for the sample.

  1. What isμχ¯?
  2. What isσχ¯?
  3. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution ofχ¯.
  4. Find the z-score for the valueχ¯=86,660
  5. FindPχ¯>86,660.

Consider the following probability distribution:

a. Findμ.

b. For a random sample of n = 3 observations from this distribution, find the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

c. Find the sampling distribution of the median of a sample of n = 3 observations from this population.

d. Refer to parts b and c, and show that both the mean and median are unbiased estimators ofμfor this population.

e. Find the variances of the sampling distributions of the sample mean and the sample median.

f. Which estimator would you use to estimateμ? Why?

A random sample of n=900 observations is selected from a population with μ=100andσ=10

a. What are the largest and smallest values ofx¯ that you would expect to see?

b. How far, at the most, would you expect xto deviate from μ?

c. Did you have to know μto answer part b? Explain.

Will the sampling distribution of x¯always be approximately normally distributed? Explain

Refer to Exercise 5.18. Find the probability that

  1. x¯is less than 16.
  2. x¯is greater than 23.
  3. x¯is greater than 25.
  4. x¯falls between 16 and 22.
  5. x¯ is less than 14.
