- An ecologist is studying the impact of local polluted waters on the growth of alligators. The length of adult male alligators typically follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 2 feet. The ecologist wants to estimate the mean length of this population of alligators. Suppose she samples n alligators at random and uses the sample mean, X to as an estimator for u. a. What is the bias and variance of the estimator? (Note, these may be a function of n.) b. If n = 4, what is the probability that the estimator is within one foot of the true mean? (I.e. find P(|X – µ| < 1). c. What sample size, n, is required for the estimator to be within one foot of the true mean with 95% probability? (I.e. find the value of n that satisfies P(|X – µ| < 1) = 0.95.) d. Suppose the ecologist ends up sampling n = 9 alligators and calculates a sample mean of ī = 10.4 feet. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. e.

- The manufacturer of a new eye cream claims that the cream reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after just 14 days of application. To test the claim, 10 women are randomly selected to participate in a study. The number of fine lines and wrinkles that are visible around each participants eyes is recorded before and after the 14 days of treatment. The following table displays the results. Test the claim at the 0.02 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let women before the treatment be Population 2.
