Question

Transcribed Image Text:You survey 100 UCSC students and create a
random variable, called campus_housing, equal
to 1 if they live on campus and zero otherwise.
You then calculate the sample mean of this
random variable and find that it is equal to 0.74
Answer the following questions using the
information provided:
a. True or False. The sample mean you
calculated is a parameter.
b. How many students in your sample do not
live on campus?
c. Choose the right answer: What share of
UCSC students live on campus?

To do this, suppose you perform an experiment in which you roll an eight-sided die two times (or equivalently, roll two eight-sided dice one time) and calculate the mean of your sample. Remember that your population is the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The true mean (µ) of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 is , and the true standard deviation (o) is The number of possible different samples (each of size n = 2) is the number of possibilities on the first roll (8) times the number of possibilities on the second roll (also 8), or 8(8) = 64. If you collected all of these possible samples, the mean of your sampling distribution of means (µM) would equal and the standard deviation of your sampling distribution of means (that is, the standard error or ɑm) would be The following chart…arrow_forwardThere are eight patients waiting in a doctor's waiting room.
