Chapter 7: Q.8 (page 460)

Which of the following statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean is incorrect? (a) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution will decrease as the sample size increases.

(b) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is a measure of the variability of the sample mean among repeated samples.

(c) The sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true population mean.

(d) The sampling distribution shows how the sample mean will vary in repeated samples.

(e) The sampling distribution shows how the sample was distributed around the sample mean

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (e)

The incorrect statement is the sampling distribution shows how the sample was distributed around the sample mean

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have to find which of the statement is not correct

02

Explanation (a)

Consider, f option (a):

This option is correct because if a sample is larger, it provides more data about the population which allows us to predict more accurate values. This means that the variability decreases if the predictions are more accurate.

03

Explanation (b)

Consider option (b):

This option is correct because the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of a sample means and the variability of the sample mean over all possible samples are the same.

04

Explanation (c)

Consider option (c):

This option is correct because a population means has an unbiased estimator which is the sample mean.

05

Explanation (d)

Consider option (d):

This option is also correct because the variation is given by the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

06

Explanation (e)

Consider option (e):

This option is not correct because the distribution of all possible sample mean is the sampling distribution and it cannot be centered on the sample mean (since there are many sample means.

Hence, the correct answer is (e).

Airline passengers get heavier In response to the increasing weight of airline passengers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2003told airlines to assume that passengers average 190pounds in the summer, including clothes and carry-on baggage. But passengers vary, and the FAA did not specify a standard deviation. A reasonable standard deviation is 35pounds. Weights are not Normally distributed, especially when the population includes both men and women, but they are not very non-Normal. A commuter plane carries 30passengers.

(a) Explain why you cannot calculate the probability that a randomly selected passenger weighs more than 200pounds.

(b) Find the probability that the total weight of the passengers on a full 铿俰ght exceeds 6000pounds. Show your work. (Hint: To apply the central limit theorem, restate the problem in terms of the mean weight.)

Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by drawing 7 tiles from a bag containing 100 tiles. There are 42 vowels, 56 consonants, and 2 blank tiles in the bag. Cait chooses an SRS of 7 tiles. Let p^be the proportion of vowels in her sample.

(a) Is the 10%condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

(b) Is the Normal condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

Your mail-order company advertises that it ships 90%of its orders within three working days. You select an SRS of 100of the 5000orders received in the past week for an audit. The audit reveals that 86of these orders were shipped on time.

(a) If the company really ships 90%of its orders on time, what is the probability that the proportion in an SRS of 100orders is as small as the proportion in your sample or smaller? Follow the four-step process.

(b) A critic says, 鈥淎ha! You claim 90%, but in your sample, the on-time percentage is lower than that. So the 90%claim is wrong.鈥� Explain in simple language why your probability calculation in (a) shows that the result of the sample does not refute the 90%claim.

Mars, Incorporated, says that the mix of colors in its M&M鈥橲庐 Milk Chocolate Candies is 24%blue, 20%orange, 16%green,14%yellow, 13%red, and 13%brown. Assume that the company鈥檚 claim is true. We want to examine the proportion of orange M&M鈥橲 in repeated random samples of 50candies. Which of the graphs that follow could be the approximate sampling distribution of the statistic? Explain your choice

Bottling cola A hattling compamy uses a fillimg maichine to fill plastic botles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300milliliters (ml) . In fact, the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with mean 渭=298ml and standard deviation 蟽=3ml

(a) What is the probability that in individual bottle contains less than 295ml? Show you work.

(b) What is the probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295ml? Show your work.
