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

In the language of government statistics, you are 鈥渋n the labor force鈥 if you are available for work and either working or actively seeking work. The unemployment rate is the proportion of the labor force (not of the entire population) who are unemployed. Here are data from the Current Population Survey for the civilian population aged 25years and over in a recent year. The table entries are counted by thousands of people.

Unemployment (5.1) What is the probability that a randomly chosen person 25 years of age or older is in the labor force? Show your work.

Decreasing the sample size from 750to 375would multiply the standard deviation by

(a) 2.

(b) 2.

(c) 1/2.

(d) 1/2.

(e) none of these.

A study of voting chose 663registered voters at random shortly after an election. Of these, 72%said they had voted in the election. Election records show that only56% of registered voters voted in the election. Which of the following statements is true about the boldface numbers?

(a)72%is a sample; 56%is a population.

(b) 72%and56% are both statistics.

(c)72%is a statistic and 56%is a parameter.

(d) 72%is a parameter and 56%is a statistic.

(e) 72%and56% are both parameters.

Bias and variability The figure below shows his programs of four sampling distributions of different statistics intended to estimate the same parameter.

(a) Which statistics are unbiased estimators? Justify your answer. (b) Which statistic does the best job of estimating the parameter? Explain.

The Gallup Poll has decided to increase the size of its random sample of voters from about 1500people to about 4000people right before an election. The poll is designed to estimate the proportion of voters who favor a new law banning smoking in public buildings. The effect of this increase is to

(a) reduce the bias of the estimate.

(b) increase the bias of the estimate.

(c) reduce the variability of the estimate.

(d) increase the variability of the estimate.

(e) have no effect since the population size is the same
