Assume that we wish to fit a lognormal distribution to this data.

  1. Estimate the parameters for the fit distribution
  2. Use a K-S test to determine goodness of fit. Use a critical value of D0.01.

In the Earth’s crust, the concentration of Aluminum follows a lognormal distribution with parameters µln = 1.505 pph and sln = 1.10 pph. (Note: that pph means part-perhundred.) Despite the abundance of recycled Aluminum, a geological team from Alcoa is making a determination of potential mining conditions at possible locations in Canada. If the smallest 87.7% of the sampled concentration levels are considered unprofitable for mining purposes, what is the lowest possible concentration of aluminum needed in this location before...

We use sample data to estimate population parameters and point estimate and interval estimate are two typical tools of such estimation. Please discuss them answering the following questions. 1) Briefly discuss about how point estimate and confidence interval are different to each other. 2) Discuss about way(s) to secure unbiased and efficient point estimators. 3) Discuss about the effects of confidence level (or, Z-score) and sample size on the width of confidence interval. Is it good or bad to have...

We have a random sample of size 10 from a normal distribution. We wish to estimate the population mean. Damjan suggests taking the average of the sample minimum and sample maximum. Allan thinks this will be a poor estimator and says we should use the sample mean instead. Do a simulation in R to compare these two estimators in terms of their bias and variance. Include a side-by-side boxplot that compares their sampling distributions.

We wish to estimate μ , the mean mass (in kg) of the Sandhill Crane. We take a random sample of 20 Sandhill Cranes and measure their masses. For this sample, we find an average mass of 4.53 kg and a standard deviation of 0.8 kg. Assuming the masses are normally distributed. Find the upper limits of 98% confidence interval for μ . Select the closest to your answer. options: 4.70 5.20 4.90 4.80 5.10 5.00

We want to explore the effect of parameters on a binomial distribution (this is a bit similar to last week's assignment). Start up R/RStudio a) First we'll do our coin example from lecture. Let's calculate those probabilities and plot a graph so we know what our “distribution” looks like: In the script window or on the command line do the following: y <- c(0:10) we're giving y the numbers 0 through 10 y if you want to see “y”, you...

We wish to estimate the proportion of all Americas that are planning to buy a tablet computer within the next year. a) How many Americas need to be sampled if we want to estimate the proportion to within 5% with 99% confidence? b) Assume we sampled the number of Americans found in (a) and 40% say that they will be buying a tablet computer in the next year. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americas...
