In: Statistics and Probability
Consider two populations A = f3; 5; 7; 9; 10; 16g and B = f8; 10; 11; 15; 18; 25; 28g.
a) Using R, draw random samples (without replacement) of size 3 from each population, and simulate
the sampling distribution of the sum of their maximum. Describe the distribution.
b) Use your simulation to estimate the probability that the sum of the maximums is less than 20.
c) Draw random samples of size 3 from each population, and find the maximum of the union of
these two sets. Simulate the sampling dis- tribution of the maximum of this union. Compare
the distribution to part (a). In R, max(union(a, b)) returns the maximum of the union of
sets a and b.
d) Use simulation to find the probability that the maximum of the union is less than 20.
Note: This question is already answered by me in the same way. So i am just copying my old answer.
