Textbook Question
Chapter 10.3, Problem 22E
The price per share of stock for a sample of 25 companies was recorded at the beginning of 2012 and then again at the end of the first quarter of 2012. How stocks perform during the first quarter is an indicator of what is ahead for the stock market and the economy. Use the sample data in the DATAfile named StockPrices to answer the following.
- a. Let di denote the change in price per share for company i where di = first quarter of 2012 price per share minus the beginning of 2012 price per share. Use the sample
mean of these values to estimate the dollar amount a share of stock has changed during the first quarter. - b. What is the 95% confidence
interval estimate of the population mean change in the price per share of stock during the first quarter? Interpret this result.

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
