Q7.12: B & C are attached D. = 25.5 One sample size mean out of 15 is equal to population mean.

Probability = no of sample mean = / total no of samples = 1/15 = 0.067 E. = 25.5 Sample within 2 units of mean = 23.5, 23.75, 24, 25.5, 26.00, 26.25, 26.75, 27.25, 27.5 =9 Probability = 9/15 = 3/5 = 0.6

Q7.18: We often approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean by normal distribution.

Q7.20: No, sample size doesnt effect on the mean of all possible means because mean of all samples is always equal to population mean. Q7.30: a. The population consists of all self-employed persons of us with home based business. The population variable is working hours per week.

b.

= 23 hrs

= 10 hrs

For n =100 Mean of all possible sample means = = 23 hrs

S.d of all possible sample means) = x = / n )= 10 / 100 = 10/10 =1hrs c. n=1000 Mean of all possible means = = 23 hrs. S.d of all possible sample means = x = / n = 10/ 1000 = 10/31.62 = 0.361 hrs.

Q 7.32: A. n =40; = 44.8; = 5.87 Mean of all possible sample mean = = 44.8years .d of x = / n years = 5.87 /40 = 5.87/6.32 = 0.9281years The mean of all possible samples mean menopause age is equal to population mean which in turn equal to 44.8 years. The standard deviation of all possible samples mean is 0.9281 years. B. n=120 Mean of all possible sample mean = 44.8 years .d of x = / n years = 5.87 /120 = 5.87/10.95 = 0.5350 years The mean of all possible samples mean menopause age is equal to population mean which in turn equal to 44.8 years. The standard deviation of all possible samples mean is 0.5350 years.

Q 7.48: A. = 35 = 42 If the population variable is normal the sample mean is also follows Normal distribution so x = and standard deviation x = /n, n=sample size Hence (x) = = 35 x = /n = 42/9 so n=9 = 42/3 = 14 So sample mean is normally distributed with mean 35 and S.D = 14 B. No, since the sample size is less than 30 so we cant consider it is a large sample. o if the population distribution is unknown then we cant answer the part A, because we cant apply The Central Limit Theorem (CLT). C. Yes we can find the part A because the sample size is 36 which is greater than 30 and it is considered as a large sample. Therefore, we can apply CLT we can approximate the distribution of sample mean s normal.

Q7.50: A. By applying CLT, sample mean follows Normal Distribution. B. Yes, since we can approximate the distribution of the sample mean if the sample size is large sample. But we cant find sample mean if sample size is not large sample because we cant apply CLT.

C. ean of x = and standard deviation of x =/n D. No, the expression for mean and standard deviation of x remain same regardless of the sample size.

Q7.52: A. We consider a sample as a large sample if the sample size is greater the 30. B. Shape of the probability density function curve determines the how large the sample size must be for a normal distribution to provide an adequate approximation to the distribution of x.

Q 7.58: .D = 92 weeks A. n=50 sample size is larger sample, by applying CLT .D x = /n = 92/50 = 92/7.07 = 13.01 days or 1.867 weeks. B. -20 x 20

x = -20 z = -20)- / 13.01 = -20/13.01= -1.53 So area we seek z= 0.0630 x = 20 z = +20)-/13.01 = 20/13.01 = 1.53 So the area we seek is z = 0.9370. So the area is 0.9370-0.630 = 0.874 Q7.62: = 40 lbs. = 1.5 lbs. A. x 39

X= 39 Z = (x- / = (39-40)1.5 = -1/1.5 = - 0.66 From table II area of z(-0.66) = 0.2546. B. N=10 = 40lbs x = /n = 1.5/10= 1.5/3.16=0.474 P (x 39 X=39 Z = (x- /(x) = (39-40)/0.474 = -1/0.474= -2.10 So from table II are of z(-2.10) = 0.0179 C. No, the company claim is not incorrect because if you bought only one bag which is 39 pounds but it is still within standard deviation of weights of 1.5 pounds. D. No, the company claim is incorrect , because as we figures in part B you have a probability of 0.0174 or 1.74% chance of getting 10 bags with the mean of 39 pounds.
