Chapter 8: Q.2 (page 481)

Got shoes? The class in Exercise 1 wants to estimate the variability in the number of pairs of shoes that female students have by estimating the population variance 蟽2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sample variance is s2=202.7658.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Data:

02

Explanation

The mean (or average) is the sum of all values divided by the number of values:

x炉=50+26+鈥�+15+5120=30.35

nis the number of values in the data set.

n=20

The sample variance is the sum of squared deviations from the mean divided by n-1:

s2=鈭�(x-x炉)2n-1

(50-30.35)2+(26-30.35)2+(26-30.35)2+(31-30.35)2+(57-30.35)2

+(19-30.35)2+(24-30.35)2+(22-30.35)2+(23-30.35)2+(38-30.35)2

+(13-630.35)2+(50-30.35)2+(13-30.35)2+(34-30.35)2+(23-30.35)2

+(30-30.35)2+(49-30.35)2+(13-30.35)2+(15-30.35)2+(51-30.35)220-1

Can you taste PTC? PTC is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. The ability to taste PTC is inherited. About 75% of Italians can taste PTC, for example. You want to estimate the proportion of Americans who have at least one Italian grandparent and who can taste PTC.

(a) How large a sample must you test to estimate the proportion of PTC tasters within 0.04with 90% con铿乨ence? Answer this question using the 75% estimate as to the guessed value for p鈭�.

(b) Answer the question in part (a) again, but this time use the conservative guess p鈭�=0.5. By how much do the two sample sizes differ?

Good wood? A lab supply company sells pieces of Douglas fir 4inches long and 1.5inches square for force experiments in science classes. From experience, the strength of these pieces of wood follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation 3000pounds. You want to estimate the mean load needed to pull apart these pieces of wood to within 1000pounds with 95%confidence. How large a sample is needed? Show your work.

- Understand how the margin of error of a confidence interval changes with the sample size and the level of confidence C.
