291 Problems 32. Let X1,. .., Xn+1 be a sample from a population with mean u and variance o2. As noted in the text, the natural predictor of X„+1 based on the data values X1, ... , Xn is Xn = =1 X;/n. Determine the mean square error of this predictor. That is, find E[(X,+1 – X„)²]. 33. National Safety Council data show that the number of accidental deaths due to drowning in the United States in the years from 1990 to 1993 were (in units of one thousand) 5.2, 4.6, 4.3, 4.8. Use these data to give an interval that will, with 95 percent confidence, contain the number of such deaths in 1994. 34. The daily dissolved oxygen concentration for a water stream has been recorded over 30 days. If the sample average of the 30 values is 2.5 mg/liter and the sample standard deviation is 2.12 mg/liter, determine a value which, with 90 percent confidence, exceeds the mean daily concentration. 35. Verify the formulas given in Table 7.1 for the 100(1 – a) percent lower and upper confidence intervals for o². 36. The capacities (in ampere-hours) of 10 batteries were recorded as follows: 140, 136, 150, 144, 148, 152, 138, 141, 143, 151 (a) Estimate the population variance o?. (b) Compute a 99 percent two-sided confidence interval for o2. (c) Compute a value v that enables us to state, with 90 percent confidence, that o² is less than v. 37. Find a 95 percent two-sided confidence interval for the variance of the diameter of a rivet based on the data given here. 6.68 6.66 6.62 6.72 6.76 6.67 6.70 6.72 6.78 6.66 6.76 6.72 6.76 6.70 6.76 6.76 6.74 6.74 6.81 6.66 6.64 6.79 6.72 6.82 6.81 6.77 6.60 6.72 6.74 6.70 6.64 6.78 6.70 6.70 6.75 6.79 Assume a normal population. 38. The following are independent samples from two normal populations, both of which have the same standard deviation o. 16, 17, 19, 20, 18 and 3, 4, 8 Use them to estimate o.
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
