### Sampling Distribution: An Educational Guide#### Understanding the Problem StatementLet's delve into a statistical problem involving the assets of the four wealthiest individuals in a country. The assets, in billions of dollars, are as follows:- 39- 28- 22- 13We are assuming that samples of size \( n = 2 \) are randomly selected with replacement from this set of four values.#### Constructing the Sampling DistributionTo create the sampling distribution of the sample mean, we must first identify all 16 possible samples and calculate the mean for each. These values are then grouped, and their corresponding probabilities are determined.#### The Table of Sample MeansBelow is the table constructed from the problem:| \( \bar{x} \) | Probability | | \( \bar{x} \) | Probability ||---------------|-------------|---|---------------|-------------|| 39 | | | 25 | || 33.5 | | | 22 | || 30.5 | | | 20.5 | || 28 | | | 17.5 | || 26 | | | 13 | |**Note:** Fill in the probabilities as integers or fractions as specified in the problem.#### ExplanationHere is a detailed explanation of what is expected in each step of the process:1. **Identify Possible Samples:** Each sample is of size 2 and is selected with replacement. This results in a total of \( 4 \times 4 = 16 \) possible samples since each of the four assets can pair with any other, including itself. 2. **Calculate the Mean:** For each sample, compute the sample mean (\( \bar{x} \)). For example, if the sample is (39, 22), the mean is \( \frac{39 + 22}{2} = 30.5 \).3. **Count Occurrences:** Determine how frequently each unique sample mean occurs among all possible samples.4. **Determine Probabilities:** The probability of each unique sample mean is derived by dividing its frequency by the total number of samples (16).This method provides a comprehensive approach to understanding how sample means distribute when drawn from a small, finite population. By working these steps, one gains

you randomly select 15 apple tree locations and 15 citrus tree locations from different forests. Each location is 1000 m² in size. Now you randomly create 10 zones within each forest (300 total) and measure plant biomass in each for three years (900 being the final tally) determine the population of interest, the dependent variable, the independent variable, and if the independent variable is being observed or controlled/manipulated, and number of replicates pseudoreplicates.
Researchers wanted to test the hypothesis that living in the country is better for your lungs than living in a city. To eliminate the possible variation due to genetic dif- ferences, they located seven pairs of identical twins with one member of each twin living in the country, the other in a city. For each person, they measured the percentage of in- haled tracer particles remaining in the lungs after one hour: the higher the percentage, the less healthy the lungs. They found that for six of the seven twin pairs the one living in the country had healthier lungs. Based on the sample size and distance between the null value and the observed proportion, estimate the strength of evidence: inconclusive, weak but suggestive, moder- ately strong, strong, or overwhelming.
An accountant believes that the percentage of accounts that will be uncollectible increases as the ages of the accounts increase. Here the age of an unpaid account is the number of days elapsed since the invoice date. To test this theory, the accountant randomly selects independent samples of 500 accounts with ages between 31 & 60 days and 500 accounts with ages between 61 & 90 days from the accounts receivable ledger dated one year ago. When the sampled accounts are examined, it is found that 10 of the 500 accounts with ages between 31 & 60 days were eventually classified as "uncollectible", while 27 of the 500 accounts with ages between 61 & 90 days were eventually classified as "uncollectible". Let pi = proportion of accounts with ages between 31 & 60 days and p2 = proportion of accounts with ages between 61 & 90 days.
The human body is a complex, highly organized structure of cells that work together to accomplish the specific functions necessary for sustaining life. Each human has individual characteristics that uniquely define who they are, but there are characteristics about the human body that have much less variability. One of these is the measurement around the calf muscle's widest part. For this dataset, N = 507 individuals in their twenties and thirties who exercised several hours each week measured around the widest part of both calf muscles and the average maximum girth in centimeters was recorded. We will use this data to get better acquainted with the Empirical Rule. Empirical Rule 68% of data 95% of data 99.7% of data -30 -20 -1o +1o 20 +30 For data that can be reasonably assumed to follow a normal distribution with mean u and standard deviation a, the Empirical Rule can be used to get a sense of where the data values are located in the distribution with regards to the mean.

AP Stats Free Res ponse - Period 6 Name Date Many people consider Fosco University every year for its large graduate programs (estimated over 7,500 students each year). Fos co University provides housing for 10% of the gradua te students on campus. The housing office thinks that the percentage of graduate students looking for campus housing may be more than 10%. The office decides to survey a random sa mple of graduate students, and 62 of the 481 respondents say that they are looking for housing on campus. (a) With the results of the survey, would you recommend that the Fosco U niversity consider increasing the amount of housing on campus for graduate students? Give the appropriate evidence/test to support your dlaim. Use a significance level of.05. (b) In addition to the 481 graduate students who completed the survey, an additional 19 students did not respond. If the 19 responded, would you change your recommendation? Explain and show work.
A laboratory research group did a microarray experiment five years ago with 10 subjects in the normal group, and 6 subjects in the diet group; one microarray per subject. They never published their results because they felt like their diet group was too small. Now they have more money and they want to get 4 diet animals, and run 4 new microarrays on those animals. They plan to add that data to their study so they can increase their statistical discovery power, and finally publish their results. Although increasing the number of subjects should increase the statistical power of the study, give a reason why increasing the number of samples might NOT result in more significant results.

Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention have launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea.† Suppose that, of 189 cases tested in a certain state, 12 were found to be drug-resistant. Suppose also that, of 429 cases tested in another state, 8 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. (Let p1 = the population proportion of drug-resistant cases in the first state, and let p2 = the population proportion of drug resistant cases in the second state.)

Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 42 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 7,056 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 7,056 lb42=168 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft? Assume that weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 178.3 lb and a standard deviation of 36.8.
