A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally. We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%. Include the following information: i. Hypothesis / Identification of populations ii. Critical F-value(s) iii. Decision rule iv. F-ratio value v. Decision and conclusion b) Based on the results obtained in a), is the hypothesis of equal variances for this socio-economic characteristic measured in these two populations upheld? c) Based on the results obtained in a),…arrow_forward

The joint density function of Y₁ and Y2 is given by 3y1, 0 ≤ y2 yı≤ 1, f(y1, y2) = 0, elsewhere. Find the probability density function for U = Y₁ - Y₂, the proportional amount of gasoline remaining at the end of the week. Use the density function of U to find E(U).arrow_forward7.20 a If U has a x² distribution with v df, find E(U) and V (U). b Using the results of Theorem 7.3, find E(S2) and V (S2) when Y₁, Y2,..., Y, is a random sample from a normal distribution with mean μ and variance o².arrow_forward
- 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?

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 992arrow_forward8.12 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.
