Suppose we are interested in estimating the proportion p of a population that has a certain disease. As in Section 2.3 let y;-1 if person i has the disease, and yi 0 if person i does not have the disease. Then p . a Show, using the definition in (2.13), that 22 N- np If the population is large and the sampling fraction is small, so that write (2.26) in terms of the CV for a sample of size 1....
Suppose we are interested in estimating the proportion of a population using a simple random sample of size n. i. State a suitable estimator of the population proportion as well as its sampling distribution. Mention any assumptions which you make. ii. Explain statistically how to determine the minimum sample size necessary to estimate a population proportion to within e units. iii. Provide a practical marketing example of a 95% confidence interval for a proportion. iv. Explain the purpose of the...

In the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), we are interested in the total time to complete a project that is comprised of a large number of subprojects. For illustration, let X1, X2, X3 be three independent random times for three subprojects. If these subprojects are in series (the first one must be completed before the second starts, etc.), then we are interested in the sum Y = X1 +X2+X3. If these are in parallel (can be worked on simultaneously),...

Let X1,.. ,X be a random sample from an N(p,02) distribution, where both and o are unknown. You will use the following facts for this ques- tion: Fact 1: The N(u,) pdf is J(rp. σ)- exp Fact 2 If X,x, is a random sample from a distribution with pdf of the form I-8, f( 0,0) = for specified fo, then we call and 82 > 0 location-scale parameters and (6,-0)/ is a pivotal quantity for 8, where 6, and ô,...
part 1. A student was asked to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who take notes using data from a random sample of size n = 79. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval 0.12 < p < 0.32? There is a 95% chance that the proportion of notetakers in a sample of 79 students will be between 0.12 and 0.32. There is a 95% chance that the proportion of the population...
fouTube Maps Your Turn The proportion of left-handed people in the general population is about 0.1. Suppose a random sample of 225 people is observed Using our "rule of thumb." can we use normal approximation values for this sampling distribution? No • * * and nq = 98 * (Click to view hint) What is the mean of the sample proportion? * (Click to view hint) np = 7 My = 768 What is the standard error? = 76 *...
A. Suppose you take a sample of size n from a population and calculate a statistic from that sample. The statistic could be a sample proportion p, a sample mean x, or another statistic. Then suppose we repeat this process over and over again until we find all possible samples of size n from the population (this is a theoretical idea) and we calculate the same statistic from 1. each sample. The collection of all of the statistics calculated is...
