Chapter 7: Q. 38 (page 440)

Do you go to church? What sample size would be required to reduce the standard deviation of the sampling distribution to one-third the value you found in Exercise 36 (b)? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sample size of16,065would be required to reduce the standard deviation of the sampling distribution to one-third the value.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Sample size =1785

Proportion of condition=10%

02

Explanation 

We have,

n=1785

The standard deviation formula is

蟽p^=p(1-p)n

Assuming the standard deviation should become one third of the current standard deviation:

localid="1650086930094" 蟽p^3=13脳p(1鈭�p)n=p(1鈭�p)9n

Multiplying the sample size by 9 will yield the following result:

localid="1650086939099" 9n=9(1785)n=16065

Hence, a new sample size of 16065is needed

IRS audits The Internal Revenue Service plans to examine an SRS of individual federal income tax returns from each state. One variable of interest is the proportion of returns claiming itemized deductions. The total number of tax returns in each state varies from over 15 million in California to about 240,000in Wyoming.

(a) Will the sampling variability of the sample proportion change from state to state if an SRS of 2000tax returns is selected in each state? Explain your answer.

(b) Will the sampling variability of the sample proportion change from state to state if an SRS of 1%of all tax returns is selected in each state? Explain your answer

Cold cabin? The Fathom screenshot below shows the results of taking 500SRSs of 10temperature readings from a population distribution that鈥檚 N(50,3)and recording the sample minimum each time.

(a) Describe the approximate sampling distribution.

(b) Suppose that the minimum of an actual sample is 40掳F. What would you conclude about the thermostat manufacturer鈥檚 claim? Explain.

The number of hours a light bulb burns before failing varies from bulb to bulb. The distribution of burnout times is strongly skewed to the right. The central limit theorem says that

(a) as we look at more and more bulbs, their average burnout time gets ever closer to the mean 渭 for all bulbs of this type.

(b) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution of the same shape (strongly skewed) as the population distribution.

(c) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution with a similar shape but not as extreme (skewed, but not as strongly) as the population distribution.

(d) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution that is close to Normal.

(e) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution that is exactly Normal.
