Larger sample Suppose that the blood cholesterol level of all men aged 20-34follows the Normal distribution with mean =188milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation =41mg/dl

(a) Choose an SRS of 100men from this population What is the sampling distribution of x?

(b) Find the probability that xestimates within 3mg/dl. (This is the probability thatxtakes a value between 185and191mg/dl.) Show your work.

(c) Choose an SRS of 1000men from this population. Now what is the probability that xfalls within3mg/dlof? show your wrok.in what sense is the large sample "better".

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The sampling distribution is normally distributed with the mean =100and standard deviation=4.1

(b) The probability is 0.5346

(c) The probability is0.9792

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step-1 Given Information

Given in the question that

Population mean ()=188

Population standard deviation ()=41

Sample size (n)=100

we have to find out that What is the sampling distribution of x

02

Part (a) Step-2 Explanation

The sample distribution of xis written as:

role="math" localid="1649195702118" x~N(X,x)

x~N,n

x~N188,41100

x~N(188,4.1)

The sampling distribution is normally distributed with the mean 100 and standard deviation4.1

03

Part (b) Step-1: Given Information 

Given in the question that the probability thatxtakes a value between 185and191mg/dlwe have to find the probability that xestimates within 3mg/dl.

04

Part (b) Step-2 Explanation

The probability that mean is within 3mg/dlis calculated as follows:

P(185x<191)=P185-n<x-n<191-n

=P185-19141100<Z<191-18841100

=P(-0.73<Z<0.73)

= 0.5346

Thus,the required probability is0.5346

05

Part (c) Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that choose an SRS of 1000men from this population. we have to find the probability that xfalls within 3mg/dlof.

06

Part (c) Step-2: Explanation 

The probability that mean is within 3mg/dlis calculated as follows:

P185x<191=P185-n<x-n<191-n

=P185-191411000<Z<191-188411000=P185-188411000<Z<191-188411000

=P(-2.31<Z<2.31)

=0.9792=0.9792

Thus the required probability is 0.9792

(a) Make a graph of the population distribution.

(b) Sketch a possible graph of the distribution of sample data for the SRS of size 20 taken by the AP Statistics class.

About 75% of young adult lnternet users (Ages18-29)watch online viden. Suppose that a sample survey contacts an SRS of 1000young adult Internet users and calculates the proportion of Pin this sample who watch online video.

What is the mean of sampling distribution of Pexplain

AP2.24. Every 17years, swarms of cicadas emerge from the ground in the eastern United States, live for about six weeks, and then die. (There are several different 鈥渂roods,鈥 so we experience cicada eruptions more often than every 17years.) There are so many cicadas that their dead bodies can serve as fertilizer and increase plant growth. In a study, a researcher added 10cicadas under 39randomly selected plants in a natural plot of American bell flowers on the forest floor, leaving other plants undisturbed. One of the response variables measured was the size of seeds produced by the plants. Here are the box plots and summary statistics of seed mass (in milligrams) for 39cicada plants and 33undisturbed (control) plants:

Variable: n Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Maximum

Cicada plants: 39 0.17 0.22 0.25 0.28 0.35
Control plants: 33 0.14 0.19 0.25 0.26 0.29
(a) Is this an observational study or an experiment? Explain.
(b) Based on the graphical displays, which distribution has
the larger mean? Justify your answer.
(c) Do the data support the idea that dead cicadas can
serve as fertilizer? Give graphical and numerical evidence
to support your conclusion.

The name for the pattern of values that a statistic takes when we sample repeatedly from the same population is

(a) the bias of the statistic.

(b) the variability of the statistic.

(c) the population distribution.

(d) the distribution of sample data.

(e) the sampling distribution of the statistic.
