1. For a data set with 3 variables and 3 observations, suppose Xbar, the sample mean vector is [5, 3, 4]’. Let b’ = (1 1 1) and c’ = (1 2 -3).

The sample covariance matrix is given as, S = ( 13 −3.5 1.5;  −3.5 1 −1.5 ; 1.5 −1.5 3 )

(a) Find the sample mean and variance for b’X and c’X.

(b) Find the sample mean and variance for c’X.

(c) Find the covariance between b’X and c’X.

Suppose you have a sample of 36 observations with the sample mean = 2 and the sample standard deviation = 7. Compute the t-statistic corresponding to these values for the null hypothesis that mean = 0. Test two-sided alternative hypothesis that mean 6= 0. Do you reject the null hypothesis at p = 0:05? At p = 0:01? If the sample size is reduced to 25, do you get the same conclusions?

1) Suppose a normally distributed set of data has a mean of 179 and a standard deviation of 17. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to determine the percent of scores in the data set expected to be below a score of 213. Give your answer as a percent and includeas many decimal places as the 68-95-99.7 rule dictates. (For example, enter 99.7 instead of 0.997.) 2) Suppose a normally distributed set of data with 2800 observations has a mean of 100...

Exercise 10-3 A sample of 35 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 26, and the population standard deviation is 4. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the .05 significance level.    H0 : μ ≤ 25 H1 : μ > 25 (a) Is this a one- or two-tailed test? "Two-tailed"-the alternate hypothesis is different from direction. "One-tailed"-the alternate hypothesis is greater than direction. (b) What is the decision rule? (Round your answer to 2...
