1. A major company wants to estimate the number of working days lost because of employee absence from work. Using a sampling fraction of 1/25, a SRS sample S of size 2000 is drawn from the population of employees. For each employee in the sample yi, the number of days absent, is determined. Let S₁ and S₂ denote the subsamples of male and female employees, respectively. Some summary survey results are: Males: ns₁ 931 Σs, y = 12,604 1069 Σs y = 20, 412 Females: ns₂ = Σs, y = 232, 226 Σs y = 476, 208 (a) Estimate the mean number of days absent for all employees and com- pute a 95% confidence interval for this quantity. (b) Answer the questions in (a) for male employees. (c) Can you estimate the total number of days absent? Explain.
