ASSIGNMENT 8

1. Suppose that X has a discrete uniform distribution.

A random sample of n = 36 is selected from this population. Find the probability that the
sample mean is greater than 2.1 but less than 2.5, assuming that the sample mean would
be measured to the nearest tenth.

2. A random sample of size n₁ = 16 is selected from a normal population with a mean of 75

and a standard deviation of 8. A second random sample of size n = 9 is taken from an-
other normal population with mean 70 and standard deviation 12. Let X and X₂ be the
two sample means. Find (a) The probability that X-X2 exceeds 4

3. The following data on flexural strength (Mpa) for concrete beams

a)Calculate a point estimate of the mean value of strength for the Conceptual population
of all beams manufactured in this fashion, and state which estimator you used.

b) Calculate appoint estimate of the strength value that separates the weakest 50% of all
such beams from the strongest 50%,and state which estimator you used.
m = 7.70

c)Calculate and interpret a point estimate of the population standard deviation s. Which
estimator did you use?

d) Calculate a point estimate of the proportion of all such beams whose flexural strength
exceeds 10 Mpa.

e) Calculate a point estimate of the population coefficient of varaiation σ μ and state

which estimator you used.
