Assume the sample variances to be continuous measurements. Find the probability that a random sample of 25observations, from a n

ormal population with variance 02 = 6. will have a sample variance 52(a) greater than 9.1;(b) between 3.462 and 10.745.

Answer:

a) P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

b)P(13.848Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

For this case we assume that the sample variance is given by S^2 and we select a random sample of size n from a normal population with a population variance \sigma^2. And we define the following statistic:

T = \frac{(n-1) S^2}{\sigma^2}

And the distribution for this statistic is T \sim \chi^2_{n-1}

For this case we know that n =25 and \sigma^2 = 6 so then our statistic would be given by:

\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}=\frac{24 S^2}{6}= 4S^2

With 25-1 =24 degrees of freedom.

Solution to the problem

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

P(S^2 > 9.1)

And we can multiply the inequality by 4 on both sides and we got:

P(4S^2 > 4*9.1) = P(\chi^2_{24} >36.4) = 0.0502

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=1-CHISQ.DIST(36.4,24,TRUE)"

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(3.462 < S^2

If we multiply the inequality by 4 on all the terms we got:

P(3.462*4 < 4S^2 < 4*10.745)= P(13.848< \chi^2And we can find this probability like this:P(13.848And we use the following code to find the answer in excel: "=CHISQ.DIST(42.98,24,TRUE)-CHISQ.DIST(13.848,24,TRUE)"

Answer:

1.) .399

2.) {.369, .429}

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of criminals in this sample that were caught was \frac{286}{716}=.39944, .399 rounded to three decimal places.

To construct the confidence interval, you need three pieces of information: the statistic, the critical value, and the standard error.

The statistic is given in the first part of the problem with the proportion of criminals in the sample that were caught was .399.

The critical value, we are told, is the z equivalent of 90%, or 1.645. You can find this value using a z table or with the inverse normal function on a calculator.

Finally, we need the standard error. The formula for standard error for a proportion with a single population is \sqrt{\frac{(proportion)(1-proportion)}{sample size} }so in this situation it would be \sqrt{\frac{(.399)(.601)}{716} }=.0183.

The confidence interval would be .399±.018×1.645 or .399±.030 {.369, .429}
