7.37 Let Y;, Yo,..., Ys be a random sample of size 5 from a normal population with mean 0 and variance 1 and let ¥ = (1/5) >, ¥;. Let Ys be another independent observation from the same population. What is the distribution of a W=>>_, ¥?? Why? b U=)_, (% — Y)?? Why? © Yh, (% —¥)? + ¥22 Why? 7.38 Suppose that ¥;, ¥o,...,¥s, Ye. ¥, W, and U are as defined in Exercise 7.37. What is the distribution of a J5¥6//W? Why? b 2¥6//U? Why?7.43 7.44 ‘An anthropologist wishes to estimate the average height of men for a certain race of people. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 2.5 inches and if she randomly samples 100 men, find the probability that the difference between the sample mean and the true population ‘mean will not exceed 5 inch. Suppose that the anthropologist of Exercise 7.43 wants the difference between the sample mean and the population mean to be less than .4 inch, with probability .95, How many men should she sample to achieve this objective?7.50 7.51 Shear strength measurements for spot welds have been found to have standard deviation 10 pounds per square inch (psi). If 100 test welds are to be measured, what is the approximate probability that the sample mean will be within 1 psi of the true population mean? Refer to Exercise 7.50. If the standard deviation of shear strength measurements for spot welds is 10 psi, how many test welds should be sampled if we want the sample mean to be within 1 psi of the true mean with probability approximately .99?7.53 One-hour carbon monoxide concentrations in air samples from a large city average 12 ppm (parts per million) with standard deviation 9 ppm. a Doyou think that carbon monoxide concentrations in air samples from this city are normally distributed? Why or why not? b Find the probability that the average concentration in 100 randomly selected samples will exceed 14 ppm.7.55 The downtime per day for a computing facility has mean 4 hours and standard deviation .8 hour. Suppose that we want to compute probabilities about the average daily downtime for a period of 30 days. i What assumptions must be true to use the result of Theorem 7.4 to obtain a valid approximation for probabilities about the average daily downtime? ii Under the assumptions described in part (i), what is the approximate probability that the average daily downtime for a period of 30 days is between 1 and 5 hours? b Under the assumptions described in part (a), what is the approximate probability that the total downtime for a period of 30 days is less than 115 hours?
