Step by step solution

01

Given information

A random sample of n=64observations is drawn from a population with =20and =16.

02

Computing the probability that x¯ is less than 16

a.

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x

x=and x=n

Therefore,

x=20and x=1664i.e.x=2

Now,

P(x<16)=Px-ln<16-ln=Px-202<16-202=P(z<-2)

Therefore, from z-score table,

P(x<16)=0.0228

Thus, probability that xis less than 16 is 0.0228.

03

Computing the probability that x¯ is greater than 23 

b.

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x

x=andx=n

Therefore,

x=20and x=1664 i.e. x=2

Now,

P(x>23)=Px-ln>23-ln=Px-202>23-202=Pz>1.5

Therefore, from z-score table,

P(x>23)=1-Pz<1.5=1-0.9332=0.0668

I

Thus, probability that xis greater than 23 is 0.0668

04

Computing the probability that x is greater than 25

c.

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x

x=and x=n

Therefore,

x=20 and x=1664 i.e. x=2

Now,

P(x>25)=Px-ln>25-ln=Px-202>25-202=P(z>2.5)

Therefore, from z-score table,

P(x>25)=1-P(z<2.5)=1-0.9937=0.0062

Thus, probability that xis greater than 15 is 0.0062.

05

Computing the probability that x falls between 16 and 22

d.

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x

x=and x=n

Therefore,

x=20 and x=1664 i.e. x=2

Now,

P(16<x<22)=P16-ln<x-ln<22-ln=P16-202<x-202<22-202=P-2<z<1

Therefore, from z-score table,

P16<x<22=P-2<z<1=Pz<1-Pz<-2=0.8413-0.02275P(16<x<22)=0.8185

Thus, probability that xfalls between 16 and 22 is 0.8185.

06

Computing the probability that isxless than 14

e.

According to properties of the Sampling distribution of x

x=and xn

Therefore,

x=20and x=1664i.e. x=2

Now,

Px<14=Px-ln<14-ln=Px-202<14-202=P(z<-3)

Therefore, from z-score table,

P(x<14)=P(z<-3)=0.00135

Thus, probability that xis less than 14 is 0.00135.

Consider the following probability distribution:

a. Calculate for this distribution.

b. Find the sampling distribution of the sample mean for a random sample of n = 3 measurements from this distribution, and show that is an unbiased estimator of .

c. Find the sampling distribution of the sample median for a random sample of n = 3 measurements from this distribution, and show that the median is a biased estimator of .

Question:Quality control. Refer to Exercise 5.68. The mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is supposed to be .5 inch. The company decides to use the sample mean from Exercise 5.68 to decide whether the process is in control (i.e., whether it is producing bearings with a mean diameter of .5 inch). The machine will be considered out of control if the mean of the sample of n = 25 diameters is less than .4994 inch or larger than .5006 inch. If the true mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is .501 inch, what is the approximate probability that the test will imply that the process is out of control?

Question:A random sample of n = 500 observations is selected from a binomial population with p = .35.

a. Give the mean and standard deviation of the (repeated) sampling distribution ofp^the sample proportion of successes for the 500 observations.

b. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of p^. Does your answer depend on the sample size?

The probability distribution shown here describes a population of measurements that can assume values of 0, 2, 4, and 6, each of which occurs with the same relative frequency:

  1. List all the different samples of n = 2 measurements that can be selected from this population. For example, (0, 6) is one possible pair of measurements; (2, 2) is another possible pair.
  2. Calculate the mean of each different sample listed in part a.
  3. If a sample of n = 2 measurements is randomly selected from the population, what is the probability that a specific sample will be selected.
  4. Assume that a random sample of n = 2 measurements is selected from the population. List the different values of x found in part b and find the probability of each. Then give the sampling distribution of the sample mean x in tabular form.
  5. Construct a probability histogram for the sampling distribution ofx.

Video game players and divided attention tasks. Human Factors (May 2014) published the results of a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non鈥搗ideo game players at crossing the street when presented with distractions. Participants (college students) entered a street-crossing simulator. The simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. During the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. The researchers found that students who are video game players took an average of 5.1 seconds to cross the street, with a standard deviation of .8 second. Assume that the time, x, to cross the street for the population of video game players has , Now consider a sample of 30 students and let x represent the sample mean time (in seconds) to cross the street in the simulator.

a. Find Px>5.5

b. The 30 students in the sample are all non鈥搗ideo game players. What inference can you make about and/or for the population of non鈥搗ideo game players? Explain.
