Chapter 5: Q56SE (page 322)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The mean and standard deviation of p^are .35 and 0.021.
  2. The answer depends on the sample size.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The sample size is 500.

The probability of success p=0.35

02

(a) Compute the mean and standard deviation

The mean of the sampling distribution of p^is given byp^=0.35

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of is given byd=pqn=0.35脳0.65500=0.021

03

Describing the shape of the p^

The sampling distribution of is normal as we know that if n is large, then the sampling distribution of follows the normal distribution with a mean p^and standard deviation

p1-pn

Therefore, the shape of the sampling distributionp^ isnormal.

Here, the number of samples is 500, which is greater than 30.

Therefore, the answer depends on the sample size.

Voltage sags and swells. Refer to the Electrical Engineering (Vol. 95, 2013) study of the power quality (sags and swells) of a transformer, Exercise 2.76 (p. 110). For transformers built for heavy industry, the distribution of the number of sags per week has a mean of 353 with a standard deviation of 30. Of interest is , that the sample means the number of sags per week for a random sample of 45 transformers.

a. FindE蠂炉 and interpret its value.

b. FindVar蠂炉.

c. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of蠂炉.

d. How likely is it to observe a sample mean a number of sags per week that exceeds 400?

Refer to Exercise 5.3. Assume that a random sample of n = 2 measurements is randomly selected from the population.

a. List the different values that the sample median m may assume and find the probability of each. Then give the sampling distribution of the sample median.

b. Construct a probability histogram for the sampling distribution of the sample median and compare it with the probability histogram for the sample mean (Exercise 5.3, part b).

Suppose a random sample of n = 25 measurements are selected from a population with mean 渭and standard deviation s. For each of the following values of 渭and role="math" localid="1651468116840" 蟽, give the values of 渭蠂炉 and 蟽蠂炉.

  1. 渭=100,蟽=3
  2. 渭=100,蟽=25
  3. 渭=20,蟽=40
  4. 渭=10,蟽=100

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

Switching banks after a merger. Banks that merge with others to form 鈥渕ega-banks鈥� sometimes leave customers dissatisfied with the impersonal service. A poll by the Gallup Organization found 20% of retail customers switched banks after their banks merged with another. One year after the acquisition of First Fidelity by First Union, a random sample of 250 retail customers who had banked with First Fidelity were questioned. Letp^ be the proportion of those customers who switched their business from First Union to a different bank.

  1. Find the mean and the standard deviation of role="math" localid="1658320788143" p^.
  2. Calculate the interval Ep^卤2蟽p^.
  3. If samples of size 250 were drawn repeatedly a large number of times and determined for each sample, what proportion of the values would fall within the interval you calculated in part c?
