2. To estimate the mean age for a population of 4000 employees, a simple random sample of 40 employees is selected. a. Would you

use the finite population correction factor in calculating the standard error of the mean? Explain. b. If the population standard deviation is σ = 8.2 years, compute the standard error both with and without the finite population correction factor. c. What is the probability that the sample mean age of the employees will be within ±2 years of the population mean age?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Size of the population, N = 4000

Size of the sample, n = 40

n/N = 40/4000 = 0.01

0.01 is less than 0.05 and hence we would not us the finite population correction factor in calculating the standard error of the mean.

b.

Population standard deviation is σ = 8.2

<u>So, the standard error of x’ using the finite population correction factor is give by</u>

σ(x’) = √[(N - n)/(N - 1)] x (sigma/√n)

σ(x’) = √[(4000 - 40)/(4000 - 1)] x (8.2/√40)

σ(x’) = 1.29

<u>Standard error of x’ without using the finite population correction factor is</u>

σ(x’) = σ/√n

σ(x’) = 8.2/√40 = 1.2965

<u>There is little difference between the two values of the standard error. So we can ignore the population correction factor.</u>

c.

Let the population mean be μ

Probability that the sample mean will be within =-2 of the population mean is

P(μ– 2 < x’ < μ + 2)

At x’ = μ – 2 , we have

z = (μ – 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = -1.54

at x’ = μ  + 2, we have

z = (μ + 2 – μ)/1.2965

z = 1.54

<u>So the required probability is </u>

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(-1.54< z < 1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = p(z < 1.54) – p(z < -1.54)

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.9382 – 0.0618

P(μ – 2 < x’ < μ + 2) = 0.8764

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is 1003  <  \mu

b

Yes there is statistically significant evidence that students in Florida perform differently from other students in the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  \mu =  1000

   The sample size is  n =  453

   The sample mean is  \= x  = 1013

    The standard deviation is s =  108

   

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

            \alpha  =  100 - 95

=>         \alpha  =  5\%

=>          \alpha  = 0.05

The critical value  for \frac{\alpha }{2} obtained from the normal distribution table is          

          Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

         E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

=>     E =  1.96 *  \frac{108}{\sqrt{453} }

=>      E = 9.946

Generally the 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

           \= x  - E  <  \mu <  \= x + E

=>         1013  - 9.946  <  \mu < 1013  + 9.946

=>         1003  <  \mu

Given that the population mean(1000) is not within the 95% confidence interval for l for the average test score for students in Florida, then it means that there is statistically significant evidence that students in Florida perform differently from other students in the United States
