Answer:

96% confidence interval for desired retirement age of all college students is [54.30 , 55.70].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey was conducted to determine the average age at which college seniors hope to retire in a simple random sample of 101 seniors, 55 was the  average desired retirement age, with a standard deviation of 3.4 years.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 96% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                         P.Q. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample average desired retirement age = 55 years

            \sigma = sample standard deviation = 3.4 years

            n = sample of seniors = 101

            \mu = true mean retirement age of all college students

<em>Here for constructing 96% confidence interval we have used One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.</em>

<u>So, 96% confidence interval for the population mean, </u>\mu<u> is ;</u>

P(-2.114 < t_1_0_0 < 2.114) = 0.96  {As the critical value of t at 100 degree

                                               of freedom are -2.114 & 2.114 with P = 2%}  

P(-2.114 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.114) = 0.96

P( -2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.96

P( \bar X-2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.96

<u>96% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.114 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                           = [ 55-2.114 \times {\frac{3.4}{\sqrt{101} } } , 55+2.114 \times {\frac{3.4}{\sqrt{101} } } ]

                                           = [54.30 , 55.70]

Therefore, 96% confidence interval for desired retirement age of all college students is [54.30 , 55.70].

g You are planning an opinion study and are considering taking an SRS of either 200 or 600 people. Explain how the sampling dist
Katen [24]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, both would be approximately normal and have the same mean. The difference is in the standard deviation, since as the sample size increases, the standard deviation decreases. So the SRS of 600 would have a smaller standard deviation than the SRS of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sampling distribution of size n of a sample proportion p, the mean is p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Differences between SRS of 200 and of 600

By the Central Limit Theorem, both would be approximately normal and have the same mean. The difference is in the standard deviation, since as the sample size increases, the standard deviation decreases. So the SRS of 600 would have a smaller standard deviation than the SRS of 200.
