A company samples the distribution of conductivity in isolation of receptacles and got the following values:

24.46 25.61 26.25 26.42 26.66 27.15 27.31 27.54 27.74 27.94 27.98 28.04 28.28 28.49 28.50 28.87 29.11 29.13 29.50 30.88

Trimming 10% mean when we discard the smallest and largest 10 % of the sample. Can we use that sample for to calculate the point estimate of population mean? What are the values for estimator of population mean with and without trim? Provide full reasoning.

Expert Solution

In this question we need to find the sample statistic before trimming the data and after trimming data. I have also plot the histogram showing the distribution of the data.

Sample statistics before trimming the data

sample statistics after trimming the data

10% trimming would mean ( 20*0.1= 2) removing the smallest 2 observations and the largest 2 observation.

Mean without trimming the data = 27.793
Mean with trimming the data = 27.8381

The mean statistic for both datasets is almost equal.
But if we have look at the histogram, we see that without trimming the data, the data seems to be normally distributed. But in the case of the trimmed data, the data not fully represent a normal distribution.

Additional analysis to check outliers and if trimming the data is needed.

We find if there are any outliers in the data.

We find that there are no outliers in the data and hence there is no need to trim the data.

Which of the following is an example of mechanical isolation?Many insects have intricate "lock and key" mechanisms that prevent the male genitalia of one species from engaging with the female genitalia of a different species.A sponge excretes eggs and sperm into the water, but only gametes from the same species will fertilize each other.A mule, the offspring of a horse and a donkey, is sterile.A female moth produces a pheromone to which male moths of another species are indifferent.

While you were at the store, you got so distracted by the cookie samples, that you forgot to buy kale and instead bought two jumbo bags of potato chips, which you then went home and ate (since you could not cook dinner because you had no kale). What will be the effect of your snack on your cardiovascular and renal systems and how must they compensate to maintain homeostasis?

a.) Use a t-distribution to answer this question. Assume the samples are random samples from distributions that are reasonably normally distributed, and that a t-statistic will be used for inference about the difference in sample means. State the degrees of freedom used. Find the endpoints of the t-distribution with 2.5% beyond them in each tail if the samples have sizes n1=16 and n2=29 . Enter the exact answer for the degrees of freedom and round your answer for the endpoints...
