Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 57PB
Comparing hook prices 2 For the data in the previous exercise, use software or a calculator to perform a significance test comparing the population
10.56 Internet book prices Anna’s project for her introductory statistics course was to compare the selling prices of textbooks at two Internet bookstores. She first took a random sample of 10 textbooks used that term in courses at her college, based on the list of texts compiled by the college bookstore. The prices of those textbooks at the two Internet sites were
- a. Are these independent samples or dependent samples? Justify your answer.
- b. Find the mean for each sample. Find the mean of the difference scores. Compare and interpret.
- c. Using software or a calculator, construct a 90% confidence interval comparing the population mean prices of all textbooks used that term at her college. Interpret.

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.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
