Textbook Question
Chapter 9.3, Problem 13E
Applet Exercise Refer to Exercises 9.9–9.12. Access the applet Point Estimation.
- a Chose a value for p. Click the button “New Sequence” repeatedly. What do you observe?
- b Scroll down to the portion of the applet labeled “More Trials.” Choose a value for p and click the button “New Sequence” repeatedly. You will obtain up to 50 sequences, each based on 1000 trials. How does the variability among the estimates change as a
function of thesample size ? How is this manifested in the display that you obtained?
