Let X ∼ N(µ, σ) and X¯ be sample mean from a random sample of
9.
Suppose you draw a random sample of 9, calculate an interval ¯x
± 0.5σ where σ is the population standard deviation of X, and then
check whether µ, the population mean, is contained in the interval
or not.
If you repeat this process 100 times, about how many time do you
think µ is contained in X¯ ± 0.5σ. Explain why. (Hint: What is...

A sample of size n = 16 is made from a normal distribution with
mean μ. It
turns out that the sample mean is x = 23 and the sample standard
deviation is s = 6.
Construct a 90% confidence interval for μ.

A random sample of size n = 55 is taken from a
population with mean μ = −10.5 and standard deviation
σ = 2. [You may find it useful to reference
the z table.]
a. Calculate the expected value and the
standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

"expected value" to 1 decimal place and "standard error" to 4
decimal places.)

A random sample of size n from a distribution by f(x) = 2x and
F(x) = x^2 ; 0 < x < 1.
Let R = X(n) − X(1) be the range of the sample.

Let the random variable X follow a normal distribution with a
mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ. Let 1 be the mean of a
sample of 36 observations randomly chosen from this population, and
2 be the mean of a sample of 25 observations randomly chosen from
the same population.
a) How are 1 and 2 distributed? Write down the form of the density
function and the corresponding parameters.
