Chapter 7: Q 36. (page 462)

Male workers A factory employs 3000unionized workers, 90%of whom are male. A random sample of 15 workers is selected for a survey about worker satisfaction. Let p^= the proportion of males 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.

c. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of p^. Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Mean of sampling distribution is 0.90

b. Standard deviation is 0.0775.

c. Shape is skewed to left.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that p=90%=0.90

n=15

02

Mean of sampling distribution

The mean is渭p^=p=90%=0.90

03

Standard Deviation

We know that standard deviation is:

蟽p^=p(1-p)n

=0.90(1-0.90)15

=0.0775

The standard deviation is role="math" localid="1654889468124" 0.0775

04

Shape of sampling distribution

Condition of normality is np鈮�10andn(1-p)鈮�10

Here, np=15(0.90)=13.5鈮�10

n(1-n)=15(1-0.90)=1.5<10

Population proportion is 0.90which is closer to 1. Hence, sampling distribution is skewed to left.

Birth weights Researchers in Norway analyzed data on the birth weights of 400,000 newborns over a 6-year period. The distribution of birth weights is approximately Normal with a mean of 3668 grams and a standard deviation of 511 grams.

a. Sketch a graph that displays the distribution of birth weights for this population.

b. Sketch a possible graph of the distribution of birth weights for an SRS of size $5 . Calculate the range for this sample.

In this population, the range (Maximum - Minimum) of birth weights is 3417 grams. We technology to take 500 SRSs of size n=5n=5and calculate the range (Maximum Minimum) for each sample. The dotplot shows the results.

Bottling cola A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300 milliliters (ml). In fact, the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with mean 渭=298mland standard deviation 蟽=3ml.

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected bottle contains less than 295ml?

b. What is the probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295ml?

Bias and variability The figure shows approximate sampling distributions of 4different

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 your answer.

The number of hours a lightbulb burns before failing varies from bulb to bulb. The population 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 sampling distribution with the same shape (strongly skewed) as the population distribution.

c. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling 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 sampling distribution that is close to Normal.

e. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling distribution that is exactly Normal.

Bearings A production run of ball bearings is supposed to have a mean diameter of 2.5000centimeters (cm). An inspector chooses 100bearings at random from the run. These bearings have mean diameter 2.5009cm.
