Chapter 9.3, Problem 35E

Let Y1, Y2,… be a sequence of random variables with E(Yi) = μ and V ( Y i ) = σ i 2 . Notice that the σ i 2 ’s are not all equal.

a What is E ( Y ¯ n ) ?

b What is V ( Y ¯ n ) ?

c Under what condition (on the σ i 2 ’s) can Theorem 9.1 be applied to show that Y ¯ n is a consistent estimator for μ?

High Cholesterol: A group of eight individuals with high cholesterol levels were given a new drug that was designed to lower cholesterol levels. Cholesterol levels, in milligrams per deciliter, were measured before and after treatment for each individual, with the following results: Individual Before 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 237 282 278 297 243 228 298 269 After 200 208 178 212 174 201 189 185 Part: 0/2 Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean reduction in cholesterol level. Let a represent the cholesterol level before treatment minus the cholesterol level after. Use tables to find the critical value and round the answers to at least one decimal place.
