Here are the row and column totals for a two-way table with two rows and two columns:
Assume the sample is from a normally distributed population and construct the indicated confidence intervals for (a) the population variance
If you have a 99% confidence interval for
The two intervals (114.4, 115.6) and (114.1, 115.9) are confidence intervals (The same sample data was used to calculate both values) for true average resonance frequency (in hertz) for all tennis rackets of a certain type.
a. What is the value of the sample mean resonance frequency?
b. The confidence level for one of these intervals is 90% and for the other it is 99%. Which is which, and how can you tell?
When σ is unknown and the sample is of size
The two-way table summarizes data from an experiment comparing the effectiveness of three different diets (A, B, and C) on weight loss. Researchers randomly assigned 300 volunteer subjects to the three diets. The response variable was whether each subject lost weight over a 1-year period.
Suppose we randomly select one of the subjects from the experiment. Show that the events "Diet B" and "Lost weight" are independent.
A missile system's two electronic components must cooperate for the system as a whole to succeed. Let X and Y represent the combined life of the two components in hours. The joint density of X and Y is
Give the marginal density functions for both random variables. Are the independent?
