Chapter 7: Q 35. (page 462)

Orange SkittlesThe makers of Skittles claim that 20% of Skittles candies are orange. Suppose this claim is true. You select a random sample of 30 Skittles from a large bag. Let p^== the proportion of orange Skittles in the sample.

a. Identify the mean of the sampling distribution of p^.

b. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p^.

Verify that the 10% condition is met.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. 0.20

b. Standard deviation is 0.0730.

c. Approximate to normal, skewed to right.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that p=20%=0.20

n=30

02

Mean of Sampling Distribution

The mean of sampling distribution of sample proportions is same to proportion of population.

渭p^=p=20%=0.20

03

Standard Deviation

We know that 蟽p^=p(1-p)n

Also, as calculated 渭p^=p=20%=0.20

Hence, 蟽p^=p(1-p)n=0.20(1-0.20)30=0.0730

Standard deviation is0.0730

04

Shape of Sampling Distribution

Normality condition is np鈮�10andn(1-p)鈮�10

np=30(0.20)=6<10

n(1-n)=30(1-0.20)=24鈮�10

As population is close to 0.

So, the sampling distribution of sample proportions will be skewed to the right.

Sample medians List all 10possible SRSs of size n=3, calculate the median quiz score for each sample, and display the sampling distribution of the sample median on a dotplot.

More homework Some skeptical Ap庐 Statistics students want to investigate the newspaper's claim in Exercise 11, so they choose an SRS of 100students from the school to interview. In their sample, 45students completed their homework last week. Does this provide convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week?

a. What is the evidence that less than 60%of all students completed their assigned homework last week?

b. Provide two explanations for the evidence described in part (a).

We used technology to simulate choosing 250SRSs of size n=100n=100from a population of 2000students where 60%completed their assigned homework last week. The dotplot shows pp^the sample proportion of students who completed their assigned homework last week for each of the 250simulated samples.

c. There is one dot on the graph at 0.73. Explain what this value represents.

d. Would it be surprising to get a sample proportion of p=0.45p^=0.45or smaller in an SRS of size 100when p=0.60p=0.60? Justify your answer.

e. Based on your previous answers, is there convincing evidence that less than 60%of all students at the school completed their assigned homework last week? Explain your reasoning.

What does the CLT say? Asked what the central limit theorem says, a student replies, "As you take larger and larger samples from a population, the variability of the sampling distribution of the sample mean decreases." Is the student right? Explain your answer.

Dem bones (2.2) Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle due to the loss of minerals. To diagnose osteoporosis, an elaborate apparatus measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is usually reported in a 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 70to 79are, 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?

refer to the following graph. Here is a dotplot of the adult literacy rates in 177 countries in a recent year, according to the United Nations. For example, the lowest literacy rate was 23.6 %, in the African country of Burkina Faso. Mali had the next lowest literacy rate at 24.0 %.

The overall shape of this distribution is

a. clearly skewed to the right.

b. clearly skewed to the left.

c. roughly symmetric.

d. uniform.

e. There is no clear shape.
