4. In a population of 10,000 businesses, we want to estimate the average sales Ỹ. For that, we sample n = 100 businesses using simple random sampling. Furthermore, we have at our disposal the auxiliary information 'number of employees', denoted by x, for each business. The data coming from the sample are: X = 50 employees (true mean for x), ^ - Y = 5.2 x 106 Euros (average sales in the sample), - X = 45 employees (sample mean), - s² = 25 x 10¹º (sample variance of yk), y = 15 (sample variance of x1), p = 0.80 (sample linear correlation coefficient between x and y ), a. Calculate the ratio estimate of Ỹ. Is this estimate unbiased or biased? Explain. b. What is the 'true' variance formula for this estimate? c. Calculate an estimate of the true variance. Is the variance estimate unbiased or biased? Explain. d. Give a 95% confidence interval for Y.
