Using R
Here we will investigate the “confidence level” of each of the confidence intervals:percentile, normal, basic, and BCa. The confidence level of a confidence interval is the longrun proportion that the interval contains the parameter. So, if we took 100 samples andcomputed a 95% CI that estimates the population mean mu, the intervals should contain it95% (95 out of 100) of the time.1(a). Simulate samples X of size n=10 from an exponential distribution with rate =1/50. Run a bootstrap procedure to estimate the median. Compute the 4 CI’s mentionedabove. Repeat this 1,000 times and estimate the confidence level of each type of confidenceinterval.1(b). Are the confidence intervals below or above the confidence level of .95? Whydo you think this is? Explain.1(c). Repeat this for samples of size n=50.1(d). Did the confidence level of the intervals change with the sample size? Are theconfidence intervals below or above the confidence level of .95? Why do you think this…
A 95% confidence interval for μA -μg is given by (-2.3, 4.5). What can we infer from this
confidence interval?
(A) This confidence interval implies that the mean for sample A is less than the mean for sample B.
(B) This confidence interval implies that the mean for sample A is equal to the mean for sample B.
(C) With 95% confidence, there is convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is
less than the mean for population B.
(D) With 95% confidence, there is convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is
greater than the mean for population B.
(E) There is not convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is different from the
mean for population B at the 5% significance level.
Body Mass Index: In a survey of adults with diabetes, the average body mass index (BMI) in a sample of 1935 women was 32.50 with a standard deviation of
0.2. The average BMI in a sample of 1564 men was 30.80, with a standard deviation of 0.5.
Part: 0/ 2
Part 1 of 2
Construct 99.9% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes. Let u, denote the mean BMI for women
with diabetes. Use tables to find the critical value and round the answers to at least two decimal places.
