Question

Transcribed Image Text:The assets (in billions of dollars) of the four wealthiest people in a particular country are 44, 27, 22, 19. Assume that samples of size n = 2
are randomly selected with replacement from this population of four values.
a. After identifying the 16 different possible samples and finding the mean of each sample, construct a table representing the sampling
distribution of the sample mean. In the table, values of the sample mean that are the same have been combined.

The insurance compony knows that last year the life expectancy of its polocy holders was 77 years. They want to know if their clients this year have a longer life expectancy, on average, so the company randomy samples some of the recently paid polices to see if the mean life expectancy of polcy holders has increased. Sample: 86,75, 83, 84, 81, 77, 78, 79, 79,81, 76, 85, 70,76, 79,81, 73, 74, 72, 83. 1) Does this sample indicate that the insurance company should change its premiums because life expectancy has increased? 2) For more accurate cost determination, the insurance companies want to estimate the life expectancy to within one year with 95% confidence.
