. A random sample of size n is taken from a population that has a distri- bution with density function given by 0, elsewhere Find the likelihood function L(n v.. V ) -Using the factorization criterion, find a sufficient statistic for θ. Give your functions g(u, 0) and h(i, v2.. . n) - Use the fact that the mean of a random variable with distribution function above is to find the method of moment's estimator for θ. Explain how you...
We have a random sample of size 17 from the normal distribution N(u,02) where u and o2 are unknown. The sample mean and variance are x = 4.7 and s2 = 5.76 (a) Compute an exact 95% confidence interval for the population mean u (b) Compute an approximate (i.e. using a normal approximation) 95% confidence interval for the population mean u (c) Compare your answers from part a and b. (d) Compute an exact 95% confidence interval for the population...
X i , x , X" be a random sample of size n from an exponential distribution with mean ? a) For large sample size, construct a 95% confidence interval for ?? b) If n 30, x 90, give the endpoints for a 90% CI for ?
A random sample of size n 200 yielded p 0.50 a. Is the sample size large enough to use the large sample approximation to construct a confidence interval for p? Explain b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for p C. Interpret the 95% confidence interval d. Explain what is meant by the phrase "95% confidence interval." a. Is the sample large enough? AYes, because np 2 15 and nq2 15 No, because np 2 15 and nq< 15 No, because...
Q3. (Estimation and inference for the population mean of a normal distri- bution) 10 points Suppose that X is normally distributed, and that you are given the following random sample from its distribution: 5, 8, 7, 9, 3, 5, 10, 8, 7, 9, 6, 10, and 5 a. Estimate the mean and variance of the underlying normal distribution. 3 points b. Test the null hypothesis that the true population mean is equal to three (against the one-sided alternative that it...
you take a random sample size of 1500 from population 1 and a random sample size of 1500 from population two. the mean of the first sample size is 76; the sample standard deviation is 20. the mean of the second sample is 62; the sample standard deviation is 18. construct the 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the means of the two populations representwd here and report both the upper and lower bound of the interval.

A simple random sample of size n=20 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed with o = 11. The sample mean is found to be x = 59. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the population mean. The 95% confidence interval is . (Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
