Question

Sampling behavior of a mean. Suppose you could take all possible samples of size n = 25 from a Normal population with mean μ = 50 and σ = 5.

 

Question 10. Sketch or describe in words the sampling distribution of . Identify landmarks on the horizontal axis of this sampling distribution that are ±1 and ±2 standard deviations around its center.

  1. The sampling distribution of is N(50, 1); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 49 and 51, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 48 and 52.
  2. The sampling distribution of is N(50, 5); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 45 and 55, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 40 and 60.
  3. The sampling distribution of is N(50, 25); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 25 and 50, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 0 and 100.

 

Question 11. Would you be surprised to find a sample mean of 47 under these conditions? Explain your reasoning.

  1. Yes, it is less than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  2. Yes, it is greater than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  3. No, it is within 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  4. Cannot be determined based on this information

 

Question 12. Would you be surprised to find a sample mean of 51.5? Explain your reasoning.

 

  1. Yes, it is less than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  2. Yes, it is greater than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  3. No, it is within 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
  4. Cannot be determined based on this information

 

Pediatric asthma survey, n = 250. Suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population, and let’s assume we have collected a sample of 250 children from this population.

 

Question 13. Can we use the Normal approximation to the binomial in this instance?

  1. Yes
  2. No

 

Question 14. What is the probability of seeing at least 25 cases in a sample (use Normal approximation to the binomial)?

  1. < 0.001
  2. 0.15
  3. 0.85
  4. > 0.999
