Suppose x has a distribution with μ = 30 and σ = 26.
(a) If a random sample of size n = 31 is drawn, find μx, σ x and P(30 ≤ x ≤ 32). (Round σx to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
(b) If a random sample of size n = 65 is drawn, find μx, σ x and P(30 ≤ x ≤ 32). (Round σ x to two decimal places and the probability to four decimal places.)
(c) Why should you expect the probability of part (b) to be higher than that of part (a)? (Hint: Consider the standard deviations in parts (a) and (b).)
The standard deviation of part (b) is ---Select--- larger than the same as smaller than part (a) because of the ---Select--- same larger smallersample size . Therefore, the distribution about μx is ---Select--- wider the same narrower .

The index i in the first column is just an integer name for each observation. The specific values x in the second column are measures of a random variable X distributed in the population. Now suppose this random variable X is known to have a Normal distribution in the sampled population. You still do not know the population mean and must estimate it from the sample, as you did earlier. BUT NOW, in this question, you know in advance that the true population standard deviation of the random variable X is 4. Compute the standard error (of the sample mean), given this new knowledge situation. i xi 1 74.2 2 72.79 3 70.35 4 74.37 5 73.34 6 78.96 7 77.99arrow_forward

The intermediate pressure is therefore measured to be P = √XY = 13.42 . Assume that X and Y come from normal populations and are unbiased. a) From what distributions is it appropriate to simulate values X* and Y*? b) Generate simulated samples of values X*, Y*, and P*. c) Use the simulated sample to estimate the standard deviation of P. d) Construct a normal probability plot for the values P*. Is it reasonable to assume that P is approximately normally distributed? e) If appropriate, use the normal curve to find a 95% confidence interval for the intermediate pressure.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
