The ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of a random variable is called the coefficient of variation. For each of the following distributions, decide whether increasing the mean of the random variable increases, decreases, or has no effect on the value of the coefficient of variation

a. Poisson with mean µ

b. exponential with mean µ

c. chi-square with n degrees of freedom

Solutions

Expert Solution

a. Poisson with mean µ

The value of mean increases the coefficient of variation is decreases

b. exponential with mean µ

There is no effect on coefficient of variation as increases value of mean

c. chi-square with n degrees of freedom

The value of mean increases the coefficient of variation is decreases

A random variable is normally distributed. It has a mean of 225 and a standard deviation of 26. If you take a sample of size 11, can you say what the shape of the sampling distribution for the sample mean is? Why? If the sample size is 11, then you can't say anything about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, since the population of the random variable is not normally distributed and the sample size is less than 30....
