Question
![Suppose the random variable, X, follows an exponential distribution with mean 8 (0 ≤
0<∞o). Let X₁, X₂, X, be a random sample of size n from the population of X.
(d) Let 6 = 2 and n = 1. Determine the value of k (that is used in the specification of
the rejection region) so that a = 0.05.
(e) If Y₁, Y... Ym is a random sample from another exponential distribution with
mean 6, find the likelihood ratio criterion for testing Ho: 0= 6 versus H₁ : 06.
(Note here you need to use both samples-X₁, X₂, X and Y₁, Y2,... Ym to test
the equality of the two population means.)
(f) Using the sampling distributions of inX and my under Ho: 0= 6, show that the
above test in part (e) is based on an F statistic. [Hint: Both statistics follow x²
distributions independently.]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/88ea2a71-9ac4-4e85-921f-8e0d04f36029/9cb800aa-6be8-45fc-a88f-cd5ff6b9123b/l0pdlvr_thumbnail.png)

Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x to be approximately normally distributed? Why? What is the sampling distribution of x? Does the population need to be normally distributed for the sampling distribution of x to be approximately normally distributed? Why?(A) Yes. The central limit theorem states that the sampling variability of nonnormal populations will increase as the sample size increases. (B) Yes. The central limit theorem states that only for underlying populations that are normal is the shape of the sampling distribution of x normal, regardless of the sample size, n. (C)No. The central limit theorem states that only if the shape of the underlying population is normal or uniform does the sampling distribution of x, become approximately normal as the sample size, n, increases. (D) No. The central limit theorem…arrow_forward
