Concept explainers
a)
To explain whether the study is stratified sample or blocked experiment.
a)
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 4E
Stratified sampling.
Explanation of Solution
Stratified sampling: It draws simple random samples from independent subgroups.
Therefore, the study is stratified sample since men and women are split which can be assumed as strata.
b)
To explain whether the design of the study appropriate for advertiser’s questions.
b)

Answer to Problem 4E
Yes, it is appropriate.
Explanation of Solution
The stratified sampling helps to know about the gender which they should gear more of the advertisements to. Hence, the design of the study was appropriate advertiser’s questions.

- 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). Show that (X + Y) X+ys.arrow_forward8. 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.
