Step by step solution

01

Calculation of the mean μ 

The calculation of the mean in the case of the three values of x is shown below.

Therefore, the mean is= 123

02

Calculation of the variance σ2

The calculation of the varianceof the three values of x is shown below.

=0 -53213+1 -53213+4 -53213=2527+427+4927=7827= 289

Therefore, the median is= 289

Question:Who prepares your tax return? As part of a study on income tax compliance (Behavioral Research and Accounting, January 2015), researchers found that 37% of adult workers prepare their own tax return. Assume that this percentage applies to all U.S. adult workers. Now consider a random sample of 270 adult workers.

a. Find the probability that more than 112 of the workers prepare their own tax return.

b. Find the probability that between 100 and 150 of the workers prepare their own tax return

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^2p^.
  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?

Use the computer to generate 500 samples, each containing n = 25 measurements, from a population that contains values of x equal to 1, 2, . . 48, 49, 50 Assume that these values of x are equally likely. Calculate the sample mean () and median m for each sample. Construct relative frequency histograms for the 500 values of ()and the 500 values of m. Use these approximations to the sampling distributions of ()and m to answer the following questions:

a. Does it appear that and m are unbiased estimators of the population mean? [Note:=25.5]

b. Which sampling distribution displays greater variation?

Variable life insurance return rates. Refer to the International Journal of Statistical Distributions (Vol. 1, 2015) study of a variable life insurance policy, Exercise 4.97 (p. 262). Recall that a ratio (x) of the rates of return on the investment for two consecutive years was shown to have a normal distribution, with =1.5, =0.2. Consider a random sample of 100 variable life insurance policies and letxrepresent the mean ratio for the sample.

a. Find E(x) and interpret its value.

b. Find Var(x).

c. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution ofx.

d. Find the z-score for the value x=1.52.

e. Find Px>1.52

f. Would your answers to parts a鈥揺 change if the rates (x) of return on the investment for two consecutive years was not normally distributed? Explain.

Question:Stock market participation and IQ. Refer to The Journal of Finance (December 2011) study of whether the decision to invest in the stock market is dependent on IQ, Exercise 3.46 (p. 182). The researchers found that the probability of a Finnish citizen investing in the stock market differed depending on IQ score. For those with a high IQ score, the probability is .44; for those with an average IQ score, the probability is .26; and for those with a low IQ score, the probability is .14.

a. In a random sample of 500 Finnish citizens with high IQ scores, what is the probability that more than 150 invested in the stock market?

b. In a random sample of 500 Finnish citizens with average IQ scores, what is the probability that more than 150 invest in the stock market?

c. In a random sample of 500 Finnish citizens with low IQ scores, what is the probability that more than 150 invest in the stock market?
