A corporation is interested in estimating the total earnings from sales of color television sets at the end of a three-month period. The total earnings figures are available for all districts within the corporation for the corresponding three-month period of the previous year. A simple random sample of 13 district offices is selected from the 123 offices within the corporation. a) Using a ratio estimator, estimate ty and place a bound on the error of estimation. Use the data in the accompanying table and take t = 128,200. b) Also estimate the mean earnings for office within the corporation and place a bound on the error of estimation.

A political newspaper, Politically Sound, is interested in the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Politically Sound has hired you to estimate the population mean of all such distances for voters in this county. To estimate this population mean, you select a random sample of 17 Rising Falls County voters and record the distance (in km) each voter lives from their nearest polling station. Assume the population is approximately normally distributed. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.

You decide that you want to make sure your estimate from part a is correct. You go out and gather 10 simple random samples of 25 people in your school and calculate the proportion of students within each sample whose Amazon packages arrive within two business days of ordering.

Past records suggest that the mean annual income, μ1 , of teachers in state of Utah is greater than or equal to the mean annual income, μ2 , of teachers in Oregon. In a current study, a random sample of 15 teachers from Utah and an independent random sample of 15 teachers from Oregon have been asked to report their mean annual income.The data obtained are as follows. Annual income in dollars Utah 40375, 40119, 38197, 31687, 33695, 32737, 31677, 34683, 29973, 27954, 30679, 23613, 30854, 39423, 43263 Oregon 29526, 39202, 41422, 42190, 33702, 43330, 37084, 35078, 50852, 45628, 43294, 28607, 39779, 42331, 40648 The population standard deviation for mean annual income of teachers in Utah and in Oregon are estimated as 6400 and 6500 , respectively. It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean annual…
