Chapter 7: Q.6 (page 460)

A researcher initially plans to take anSRS of size n from a population that has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 20. If he were to double his sample size (to 2n), the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean would be multiplied by

(a) 2.

(b)12 .

(c) 2.

(d) 12.

(e)12n

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is(b)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

From the given data, we have,

渭x=渭=80蟽-x=蟽n=20

02

Explanation

Given the sample size is doubled. So nbecomes 2n.

New Standard deviation of the sample distribution is,

localid="1650261481655" 蟽x=蟽2n=12蟽n

Hence the answer is (b)

Scooping beads A statistics teacher fills a large container with 1000white and 3000red beads and then mixes the beads thoroughly. She then has her students take repeated SRSs of 50beads from the container. After many SRSs, the values of the sample proportion p藛 of red beads are approximated well by a Normal distribution with mean of 0.75and standard deviation of 0.06.

(a) What is the population? Describe the population distribution. (b) Describe the sampling distribution of p藛. How is it different from the population distribution?

The student newspaper at a large university asks an SRS of 250undergraduates, 鈥淒o you favor eliminating the carnival from the term-end celebration?鈥� All in all, 150of the 250are in favor. Suppose that (unknown to you) 55%of all undergraduates favor eliminating the carnival. If you took a very large number of SRSs of size n=250from this population, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion P鈭�would be

(a) exactly Normal with mean 0.55and standard deviation of 0.03

(b) approximately Normal with mean 0.55and standard deviation 0.03.

(c) exactly Normal with mean 0.60and standard deviation 0.03.

(d) approximately Normal with mean 0.60and standard deviation 0.03.

(e) heavily skewed with mean 0.55and standard deviation 0.03.

Dem bones (2.2) Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle due to loss of minerals. To diagnose osteoporosis, an elaborate apparatus measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is usually reported in standardized form. The standardization is based on a population of healthy young adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) criterion for osteoporosis is a BMD score that is 2.5standard deviations below the mean for young adults. BMD measurements in a population of people similar in age and gender roughly follow a Normal distribution.

(a) What percent of healthy young adults have osteoporosis by the WHO criterion?

(b) Women aged 70to79 are, of course, not young adults. The mean BMD in this age group is about 2 on the standard scale for young adults. Suppose that the standard deviation is the same as for young adults. What percent of this older population has osteoporosis?

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.

For Exercises 1 to 4, identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic in each setting

Hot turkey Tom is cooking a large turkey breast for a holiday meal. He wants to be sure that the turkey is safe to eat, which requires a minimum internal temperature of 165掳F. Tom uses a thermometer to measure the temperature of the turkey meat at four randomly chosen points. The minimum reading in the sample is 170掳F
