Answer:
(a) <em> </em><em>n</em> : 20 50 100 500
P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376
(b) The correct option is (b).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return.
The mean amount of deductions is, <em>μ</em> = $16,642 and standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = $2,400.
Assuming that the random variable <em>X </em>follows a normal distribution.
(a)
Compute the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean as follows:
- For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 20
- For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 50
- For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 100
- For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 500
<em> n</em> : 20 50 100 500
P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376
(b)
The law of large numbers, in probability concept, states that as we increase the sample size, the mean of the sample () approaches the whole population mean (
).
Consider the probabilities computed in part (a).
As the sample size increases from 20 to 500 the probability that the sample mean is within $200 of the population mean gets closer to 1.
So, a larger sample increases the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean.
Thus, the correct option is (b).
Answer:
1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The following data represent the times in minutes required for 18 co-workers to commute to work
48 42 31 29 41 22 38 38 21 39 22 48 22 12 34 32 23 28
Rewrite this data in ascending order
12 21 22 22 22 23 28 29 31 32 34 38 38 39 41 42 48 48
Now, the stem-and-leaf plot is
The second row represents the leaves for the given data points in the range 20 to 29 for this stem-and-leaf plot, so the answer is
1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9
