You sample 100 fish in Pond A at the fish hatchery and find that they average 5.5 inches with a standard deviation of 1 inch. Your sample of 100 fish from Pond B has the same mean, but the standard deviation is 2 inches. How do the margins of error compare? (Assume the confidence levels are the same.)
A survey of 1,000 dental patients produces 450 people who floss their teeth adequately. What’s the margin of error for this result? Assume 90 percent confidence.
The annual aggregate claim amount of an insurer follows a compound Poisson distribution with
parameter 1,000. Individual claim amounts follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter
a = 750 and rate parameter λ = 0.25.
1. Generate 20,000 simulated aggregate claim values for the insurer, using a random
number generator seed of 955.Display the first five simulated claim values in your
answer script using the R function head().
2. Plot the empirical density function of the simulated aggregate claim values from
Question 1, setting the x-axis range from 2,600,000 to 3,300,000 and the y-axis range
from 0 to 0.0000045.
3. Suggest a suitable distribution, including its parameters, that approximates the
simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1.
4. Generate 20,000 values from your suggested distribution in Question 3 using a random
number generator seed of 955. Use the R function head() to display the first five
generated values in your answer script.
