An IAB study on the state of original digital video showed that original digital video is becoming increasingly popular. Origina

l digital video is defined as professionally produced video intended only for ad-supported online distribution and viewing. According to IAB data, 30% of American adults 18 or older watch original digital videos each month.
1. Suppose that you take a sample of 100 U.S. adults, what is the probability that fewer than 25 in your sample will watch original digital videos?

Answer:

11.51% probability that fewer than 25 in your sample will watch original digital videos

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 100, p = 0.30

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 100*0.3 = 30

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100*0.3*0.7} = 4.58

What is the probability that fewer than 25 in your sample will watch original digital videos?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 25 - 0.5) = P(X < 24.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 24.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24.5 - 30}{4.58}

Z = -1.2

Z = -1.2 has a pvalue of 0.1151

11.51% probability that fewer than 25 in your sample will watch original digital videos

In the following hypothetical scenarios, classify each of the specified numbers as a parameter or a statistic.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a valuable element of statistical analysis. It denotes the characteristics that are used to define a given population. It is used to define a particular attribute of the population. For instance, population mean, population standard deviation, population proportion and so on.

While making a statistical conclusion about the population under study, the parameter value is unknown. This is because it would not be possible to gather data from every single member of the population. So a sample is selected from the population to derive a conclusion about the parameter.

A statistic is the value of the characteristics that are computed using this sample. For instance, sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample proportion and so on.

(a)

There have been 44 Presidents of the United States, and 36% of them were Democrats. The 36% here is a <u>parameter</u>.

(b)

In a 2015 Gallup poll of 1025 adults living in the United States, 53% said they trust the judicial branch of the federal government. The 53% here is a <u>statistic</u>.

(c)

The survey results from 12 local parks show the mean height of 60 ft for mature oak trees. The mean height of 60 ft is a <u>statistic</u>.

(d)

The 72 employees at ABC company have a mean income of $52,317 with a standard deviation of $36,829. The $36,829 is a <u>parameter</u>.

(e)

In a random sample of homeowners in the United States, it is found that 34% of the sampled homeowners renew their home warranty. The 34% here is a <u>statistic</u>.
