Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining confidence interval is expressed as

Confidence interval

= mean ± z × s/ √n

Where

z is the value of the z score

s = standard deviation

n = sample size

a) The 95​% confidence level has a z value of 1.96

The 99​% confidence level has a z value of 2.58

Since 99​% confidence level z value is greater than 95​% confidence level z value, if we input it into the formula, it will result to a higher confidence interval. So changing from a 95​% confidence level to a 99​% confidence level would make a confidence interval wider.

b) The √15 is smaller than the √350. This means that if we make use of the formula, √350 will give a lower confidence interval than that of √15. Therefore, the confidence interval would be narrower changing from a sample size of 15 to a sample size of 350.

c) Applying the formula, a standard deviation of 15 pounds would result to a lower confidence interval than a standard deviation of 20 pounds. Therefore, the confidence interval would be wider changing from a standard deviation of 15 pounds to a standard deviation of 20 pounds.

Let Y be a random variable with a density function given by
Neporo4naja [7]

From the given density function we find the distribution function,

F_Y(y)=P(Y\le y)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^y f_Y(t)\,\mathrm dt=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }y

(a)

F_{U_1}(u_1)=P(U_1\le u_1)=P(3Y\le u_1)=P\left(Y\le\dfrac{u_1}3\right)=F_Y\left(\dfrac{u_1}3\right)

\implies F_{U_1}(u_1)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_1

\implies f_{U_1}(u_1)=\begin{cases}\frac{{u_1}^2}{18}&\text{for }-3\le u_1\le3\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(b)

F_{U_2}(u_2)=P(3-Y\le u_2)=P(Y\ge3-u_2)=1-P(Y

\implies F_{U_2}(u_2)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_2

\implies f_{U_2}(u_2)=\begin{cases}\frac32(u_2-3)^2&\text{for }2\le u_2\le4\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

(c)

F_{U_3}(u_3)=P(Y^2\le u_3)=P(-\sqrt{u_3}\le Y\le\sqrt{u_3})=F_Y(\sqrt{u_3})-F_y(\sqrt{u_3})

\implies F_{U_3}(u_3)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }u_3

\implies f_{U_3}(u_3}=\begin{cases}\frac32\sqrt u&\text{for }0\le u\le1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}
