Chapter 8, Problem 124H

Refer to Exercise 8.123. Another question in the poll was (How much are] you worried about the quality of education in our schools?’ Sixty-three percent responded a lot. We are Interested In the population proportion of adult Ameitcans who are worried a lot about the quality of education in our schools.

a. Define the random variables X and P In words.

b. Which disutribution should you use f or this problem? Explain your choice.

c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population propc*tIon of adult Americans who are wonted a lot about the quahtv of education in our schools.

1. State the confidence interval.

11. Sketch the giaph.

ill. Calculate the error bound.

d. The sampling error given by Yankelovich Partners, Inc. (which conducted the poll) Is 3%. In one to three complete sentences, explain what the 3% represents.

iid 1. The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean. (a) Exponential with rate ẞ: f(y) = ß exp{−ßy} 1 (b) Chi-square with degrees of freedom: f(y) = ( 4 ) 2 y = exp { — ½/ } г( (c) Poisson with rate λ: P(Y = y) = exp(-\} > y! y²

2. Let Y₁,……., Y be a random sample with common mean μ and common variance σ². Use the CLT to write an expression approximating the CDF P(Ỹ ≤ x) in terms of µ, σ² and n, and the standard normal CDF Fz(·).
