Question
You want to estimate the size of a Harvard math class. You know that the students are numbered from 1 to k, where k is the number of students. You call three random students out of the math class and ask for their numbers, which turn out to be 1,4,9 . Find the maximum likelihood estimate for k . (The student's numbers are drawn from a discrete uniform distribution).

- Suppose we take a sample of size 30 from a geometrical distribution 200 times. Draw a graph of the distribution of X¯n, this is a histogram of 200 values of the sample mean. Calculate the expected value and variance of X¯n. How is X¯ n distributed - name the distribution. Use an important theorem. Do it in R commander.arrow_forwardIn the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.What's your favorite ice cream flavor? For people who buy ice cream, the all-time favorite is still vanilla. About 25% of ice cream sales are vanilla. Chocolate accounts for only 7% of ice cream sales. Suppose that 168 customers go to a grocery store in Cheyenne, Wyoming, today to buy ice cream. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)(a) What is the probability that 50 or more will buy vanilla?(b) What is the probability that 12 or more will buy chocolate?arrow_forwardwhat is the test statistic?arrow_forward
- Explain why this statement is true: Suppose you take large repeated samples of a variable X (which is uniformly distributed). The distribution of the sample means will also be uniform. arrow_forwardSelect all that apply. We show that our sample statistics have (at minimum) a somewhat normal distribution because this allows us to use t and z critical values. this allows us to use t and z tables for probabilities. this tells us that our sampling is appropriate. normal distributions are cool and that's all we talk about in this class.arrow_forwardWhat is the test statistic?arrow_forward

The mean of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion and the standard deviation is equal to The probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than 63% is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
