Question

Transcribed Image Text:1.12 It was noted in Section 1.2.1 that statisticians who follow the deFinetti school do not
accept the Axiom of Countable Additivity, instead adhering to the Axiom of Finite
Additivity.
(a) Show that the Axiom of Countable Additivity implies Finite Additivity.
(b) Although, by itself, the Axiom of Finite Additivity does not imply Countable
Additivity, suppose we supplement it with the following. Let A₁ A₂ 3
An D... be an infinite sequence of nested sets whose limit is the empty set, which
we denote by An 10. Consider the following:
Axiom of Continuity: If An 10, then P(An) → 0.
Prove that the Axiom of Continuity and the Axiom of Finite Additivity imply
Countable Additivity.

Kruger and Dunning (1999) published a paper called "Unskilled and Unaware of It", in which they examined the hypothesis that people who perform badly on tasks are unaware of their general logical reasoning skills. Each student estimated at what percentile he/she scored on a test of logical reasoning-- the eleven students who scored in the bottom 25% estimated on average that they were in the 68th percentile! What type of t-test would be most appropriate to test the hypothesis that their average estimated percentile ranking (68%) was significantly greater than 50%?

Sarah, a botanist, wanted to know whether the mean number of days for the plants to produce fruit where she lives is different from 87 days. She planted 40 seeds and recorded the number of days for each plant to produce fruit. With all conditions for inference met, the hypothesis test was conducted at the significance level a = 0.05, and the test resulted in a pvalue of 0.0752. Which of the following is a correct conclusion? A Sarah has convincing statistical evidence to conclude that the population mean number of days for the plants to produce fruit is greater than 87 days.
