Chapter 9.2, Problem 13E

The use of the interval

p ^ ± ( z critical value ) p ^ ( 1 p ^ ) n

requires a large sample. For each of the following combinations of n and p ^ , indicate whether the sample size is large enough for use of this interval to be appropriate.

  1. a. n = 50 and p ^ = 0.30
  2. b. n = 50 and p ^ = 0.05
  3. c. n = 15 and p ^ = 0.45
  4. d. n = 100 and p ^ = 0.01

how to find that which type of kurtosis is represent by the curve in sample distribution.
Two companies manufacture a rubber material in- tended for use in an automotive application. The part will be subjected to abrasive wear in the field application, so we decide to compare the material produced by each company in a test. Twenty-five samples of material from each company are tested in an abrasion test, and the amount of wear after 1000 cycles is observed. For company 1, the sample mean and standard de- viation of wear are = 20 milligrams/1000 cycles and s = 2 milligrams/1000 cycles, while for company 2 we obtain = 15 milligrams/1000 cycles and s, = 8 milligrams/1000 cycles. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean wear µ, - Hz. Assume each population is normally distributed but that their variances are not equal. What is the lower bound? Three decimal places
We select n=2 random samples without substitution from the population 7, 10, 9, 11, 13, 12, 15 in which N=7. Find possible samples number, then draw a table which includes the information of possible samples and sample means and sample variances for each possible sample. Finally, show that  E[X] = μ and ? (2/x) = (? ^2/n) ( N−n / N−1)
