The heights of young men follow a Normal distribution with mean M=69.3inches and standard deviation M=2.8inches. The heights of young women follow a Normal distribution with mean W=64.5inches and standard deviation W=2.5inches. Suppose we select independent SRSs of 16young men and 9young women and calculate the sample mean heights xMandxW.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of xM-xW? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a. The distribution of M-Wis normal with mean and standard deviation as:

M-B=4.8M-B=3.7537

Part b. The mean of the sampling mean is 4.8inches.

Part c. The difference in the sample means are expected to be vary by1.0883 inches from the mean difference of 4.8inches.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Explanation

It is given that there are two distributions that is,

DistributionM:NormalwithM=69.3,M=2.8DistributionW:NormalwithW=64.5,W=2.5

Now, if M and B are normally distributed then there differenceM-Bis also normally distributed.

And we know that the properties of normal are:

aX+bY=ax+bYaX+bY=a22x+b22y

Then we obtain:

M-W=M-W=69.3-64.5=4.8M-W=2M+2W=2.82+2.52=3.7537

Thus, we conclude that the distribution of M-Wis normal with mean and standard deviation as:

M-B=4.8M-B=3.7537

02

Part b. Step 1. Given information

1=69.32=64.5n1=16n2=91=2.82=2.5

03

Part b. Step 2. Explanation

The mean of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample means is the difference in the population means. This implies:

xi-x2=1-2=69.3-64.5=4.8

Thus, we conclude that the mean of the sampling mean is4.8inches.

04

Part c. Step 1. Explanation

Since the sample 16young men is less than 10%of all young men and since the sample of 9young women is less than 10%of all young women. Thus, the standard deviation is as follows:

x1-x2=12n1+22n2=2.8216+2.529=1.0883

Thus, we conclude that the difference in the sample means are expected to be vary by1.0883 inches from the mean difference of4.8inches.

Quit smoking Nicotine patches are often used to help smokers quit. Does giving medicine to fight depression help? A randomized double-blind experiment assigned 244smokers to receive nicotine patches and another 245to receive both a patch and the antidepressant drug bupropion. After a year, 40subjects in the nicotine patch group had abstained from smoking, as had 87in the patch-plus-drug group. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the true proportion of smokers like these who would abstain when using bupropion and a nicotine patch and the proportion who would abstain when using only a patch.

The following dot plots show the average high temperatures (in degrees Celsius) for a sample of tourist cities from around the world. Both the January and July average high temperatures are shown. What is one statement that can be made with certainty from an Page Number: 704 analysis of the graphical display?

a. Every city has a larger average high temperature in July than in January.

b. The distribution of temperatures in July is skewed right, while the distribution of temperatures in January is skewed left.

c. The median average high temperature for January is higher than the median average high temperature for July.

d. There appear to be outliers in the average high temperatures for January and July.

e. There is more variability in average high temperatures in January than in July
