According to a survey conducted by the American Bar Association, 1 in every 410 Americans
is a lawyer, but 1 in every 64 residents of Washington, D.C., is a lawyer.
a If you select a random sample of 1500 Americans, what is the approximate probability that
the sample contains at least one lawyer?
b If the sample is selected from among the residents of Washington, D.C., what is the ap-
proximate probability that the sample contains more than 30 lawyers?
c If you stand on a Washington, D.C., street corner and interview the first 1000 persons who
walked by and 30 say that they are lawyers, does this suggest that the density of lawyers
passing the corner exceeds the density within the city? Explain.
7.50 Shear strength measurements for spot welds have been found to have standard deviation 10
pounds per square inch (psi). If 100 test welds are to be measured, what is the approximate
probability that the sample mean will be within 1 psi of the true population mean?
7.51
Refer to Exercise 7.50. If the standard deviation of shear strength measurements for spot welds
is 10 psi, how many test welds should be sampled if we want the sample mean to be within
1 psi of the true mean with probability approximately 992
8.12
The reading on a voltage meter connected to a test circuit is uniformly distributed over the
interval (0, +1), where 0 is the true but unknown voltage of the circuit. Suppose that
Y₁, Y2,..., Y, denote a random sample of such readings.
a Show that Y is a biased estimator of and compute the bias.
b Find a function of Y that is an unbiased estimator of 0.
C
Find MSE(Y) when Y is used as an estimator of 0.
