MC180202656 STA301 Assignment # 2 Q # 1. Calculate Mean and Variance For The Given Below Sampling Distribution of Sample Means

The document contains solutions to two statistics problems. For the first problem, the mean and variance are calculated for a given sampling distribution. The mean is 8.57 and the variance is 13.98. For the second problem, a 96% confidence interval is calculated for a population mean based on a sample of 36 observations from a normal distribution with known variance. The interval is determined to be 40.89 to 44.31.

Total 7/7=1

Ans

X f( X ) Xf ( X ) X 2 f (X )
3 1/7 3/7 9/7
6 2/7 12/7 72/7
9 2/7 18/7 162/7
12 1/7 12/7 144/7
15 1/7 15/7 225/7
Total 7/7 60/7 612/7

Mean =  Xf ( X )

Mean = 60/7 = 8.57


Mean is 8.57

Variance = X 2
f ( X )  ( Xf ( X ))2

612 60 2
=  ( ) = 87.43-73.44
7 7
Variance is 13.98
Q # 2. A random sample of 36 observations is drawn from a normal distribution
with variance  2  25 . Suppose that the sample mean is found to be X  42.6 Find
96% confidence interval for populations mean  . (Use table value as Z 0.02  2.05 )

Ans #

n=36  X2 =25 Z 0.02  2.05


X =42.6

100(1-x) % for population mean (  )


X  Z /2
n
5
96% Confidence interval = 42.6  2.05
36
= 42.6  2.05  5 / 6
= 42.6  1.71
= 40.89 44.31
Required interval.
