Question

If X1,X2,...,Xn constitute a random sample of size n from a gamma population with α =2, use the method of maximum likelihood to ﬁnd a formula for estimating β.

Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.

A large population (consisting of measurements of diameters of ball bearings) has mean u and standard deviation o, neither of which is perfectly known. A random sample of size n = 25 observations will be taken, namely the diameters U1, U2, ·.., U25 will be observed. In other words, U1, U2, · .., U25 are independent and identically distributed random variables with u = E(U1) and Var(U1) = o². No further knowledge about the shape of the distribution is known. Define, 25 1 X 25 Ui 25 i=D1 (i) If someone says E(X 25) = 13, what information does he give you about u, if any?

We are wondering if the proportions of voters who rejected the proposal to institute astate lottery vary by sex. Random samples from each sex are gathered and the following samplestatistics computed. For males (sample1): •proportion (p1) =0.35 •Sample size (n1) =178 For females (sample2): •Proportion (p2) =0.25 •Sample size (n2) =212 Test the research question atα=0.05 (two-tailed) with the five-step processes and concludeyour decisions. 1. Evaluate assumptions if we can use at-test and summarize parameters and statistics. 2. State the null hypothesis (i.e.,H0) and the working hypothesis (i.e.,H1). 3. Establish the critical region fort-distributions atα=0.05with a two-tailed test. 4. Compute the test statistics (i.e.,tobtained) and the corresponding probability (i.e.,p-value). 5. Make a decision and interpret test results.
