STA301 Assignment Solution

The document presents solutions to two statistics assignment questions. The first question calculates the 95% confidence interval for the difference in customer satisfaction scores between two branches, resulting in an interval of approximately (53.63, 70.38). The second question involves analyzing the weights of four rowers, listing all possible samples, computing their means, and determining the probability distribution, mean, and standard deviation of the sample means.

Question No.1
Given Data:
Statistic Branch A Branch B (2)
(1)
Sample size (n) 100 100
Sample mean ( x ) 509 447
Sample variance ( σ 2 ) 950 876

Identify the formula:


The formula for the confidence interval for μ1−μ2 when population variances are known (or
samples are large, n ≥3) is:

Where:
x ± Z
σ 21 σ 22
( 1 2) α/ 2 n + n
−x ⋅
1 2 √
 Z α / 2 is the z -value for 95 % confidence level (which is 1.96 )
 x́ 1 , x́ 2 are the sample means
2 2
 σ 1 , σ 2 are the population variances
 n1 , n2 are the sample sizes

Put the values:


(509−447)±1.96 ⋅
√
950 876
+
100 100
¿ 62 ±1.96 ⋅ √ 9.5+ 8.76
¿ 62± 1.96 ⋅ √ 18.26
¿ 62± 1.96 ⋅4.273
¿ 62 ± 8.375
Final confidence values after difference:
(62−8.375 ,62+ 8.375)=(53.625 , 70.375)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the difference in customer satisfaction scores between Branch A
and Branch B is approximately (53.63, 70.38).

Question No. 2:
We are given the weights of four rowers:
152, 156, 160, 164 pounds
We need to find :
1. List all possible samples of size 2 with replacement
2. Compute their sample means ( X )
3. Construct the probability distribution ( X )
4. Find the mean ( X )
5. Find the standard deviation of ( X )

1 : List all possible samples of size 2 with replacement:


4×4=16 total samples
List all possible pairs and their means:
Sample Mean ( X )

(152, 152) (152 + 152)/2 = 152.0

(152, 156) (152 + 156)/2 = 154.0

(152, 160) (152 + 160)/2 = 156.0

(152, 164) (152 + 164)/2 = 158.0

(156, 152) (156 + 152)/2 = 154.0

(156, 156) (156 + 156)/2 = 156.0

(156, 160) (156 + 160)/2 = 158.0

(156, 164) (156 + 164)/2 = 160.0

(160, 152) (160 + 152)/2 = 156.0

(160, 156) (160 + 156)/2 = 158.0

(160, 160) (160 + 160)/2 = 160.0

(160, 164) (160 + 164)/2 = 162.0

(164, 152) (164 + 152)/2 = 158.0

(164, 156) (164 + 156)/2 = 160.0

(164, 160) (164 + 160)/2 = 162.0


(164, 164) (164 + 164)/2 = 164.0

2: Probability distribution of( X )


Now count how often each sample mean occurs:

X Frequency Probability

152.0 1 1/16

154.0 2 2/16 = 0.125

156.0 3 3/16 = 0.1875

158.0 4 4/16 = 0.25

160.0 3 3/16 = 0.1875

162.0 2 2/16 = 0.125

164.0 1 1/16 = 0.0625

This is the probability distribution of X

3 : Find the mean ( X )


E( X)=∑[ X ⋅ P( X)]
¿ 152(1/16)+154 (2/16)+ 156(3/16)+158(4 /16)+160 (3/16)+162(2/16)+164(1 /16)
1 (152)+2(154 )+ 3(156)+4 (158)+ 3(160)+2(162)+ 1(164)
¿
16
152+308+ 468+632+480 +324+164 2528
¿ = =158.0
16 16

The Mean of ( X ) is= 158.0

4: Standard deviation of ( X )
¿¿
¿
Standard deviation ( X )= 3.16
Final Answers:
Probability distribution( X ) :
( X ) Probability
152.0 0.0625
154.0 0.125
156.0 0.1875
158.0 0.25
160.0 0.1875
162.0 0.125
164.0 0.0625

Mean of ( X ) =158
Standard deviation ( X ) =3.16
