Match the definition in column X with the correct term in column Y.
22. In an attempt to compare the durability of two different materials (X and Y),
10 pieces of type X and 14 pieces of type Y were used. From these samples we
calculate the statistics: X= 129.44, y = 122.65, sx = 9.15, sy = 11.02. Assuming the
two populations sampled are normal with equal variance, find the P-value.

Gravetter/Wallnau/Forzano, Essentials - Chapter 9 - End-of-chapter question 9 A random sample of n = 12 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 70, and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample.

How much difference is there between the mean for the treated sample and the mean for the original population? (Note: In a hypothesis test, this value forms the numerator of the t statistic.) 2.

- 34. The mean squared error of an estimator Ô is MSE (Ô) = E(ô – ĝ)². If Ô is unbiased, then MSE(Ô) = V(Ô), but in general MSE(Ô) = V(Ô) + (bias)². Consider the estimator ²=KS2, where S² = sample variance. What value of K minimizes the mean squared error of this estima- tor when the population distribution is normal? [Hint: It can be shown that E[(S²)²] = (n + 1)σơ³/(n − 1) In general, it is difficult to find Ô to minimize MSE(Ô), which is why we look only at unbiased estimators and minimize V().]arrow_forward1.
