Problem 5
A logging company is bidding for logging rights on a large tract of land. The girth of a tree is the circumference of its trunk at a particular height
above the ground (roughly breast height). The girth is important commercially, because it determines the width of the boards that can be milled
from the tree. The owner of the property claims that the distribution of tree girth on the property is as follows:
girth range
<3 ft. 3-6 ft. 6-9 ft. 9-12ft >12 ft.
claimed fraction of trees 10% 20% 35% 30% 5%
The logging company can estimate the number of trees fairly accurately using aerial photography, but needs to do a survey on the ground to
determine the distribution of girth. Ground surveys are expensive, so the logging company would like to draw its conclusions without surveying
the entire tract.
The company hires you as an expert statistician to test the hypothesis that the distribution of girth is what the seller claims. You select 30
locations on the property at random from a map, and send a surveyor to those 30 locations to measure all the trees within a 25 foot radius of the
location.
Suppose that this results in measurements of the girth of 340 trees, and that for all practical purposes, those 340 trees can be treated as a
random sample with replacement from the population of trees on the property.
The observed distribution of girth among the 340 trees in the sample is as follows:
girth range
<3 ft. 3-6 ft. 6-9 ft. 9-12ft >12 ft.
observed number of trees 32 90 100 99 19
