So, (9.7, 14.3) should contain approximately 68% of the values. b. Note that 7.4 = 12 – 2(2.3) and 16.6 = 12 + 2(2.3). So, (7.4, 16.6) should contain approximately 95% of the values. c. From parts (a) and (b) above, 95% - 68% = 27% lie in both (14.3. 16.6) and (7.4, 9.7). By symmetry, 13.5% should lie in (14.3, 16.6) so that 68% + 13.5% = 81.5% are in (9.7, 16.6) d. Since 5.1 and 18.9 represent three standard deviations away from the mean, the proportion outside of these limits is approximately 0.  1.10  a. 14 – 17 = -3. b. Since 68% lie within one standard deviation of the mean, 32% should lie outside. By symmetry, 16% should lie below one standard deviation from the mean. c. If normally distributed, approximately 16% of people would spend less than –3 hours on the internet. Since this doesn't make sense, the population is not normal.  1.11  a.

So, s2 = (40 - 142/6)/5 = 1.47. So, s = 1.21.  = 5067.38, we have that y = 9.79 and s = 4.14.  i  b.  interval 5.65, 13.93 1.51, 18.07 -2.63, 22.21  k 1 2 3 25  1.14  a.

For Ex. 1.3, range/4 = 3.04, while = s = 3.17. For Ex. 1.4, range/4 = 2.32, while s = 1.87.  1.18  The approximation is (800–200)/4 = 150.  1.19  One standard deviation below the mean is 34 – 53 = –19. The empirical rule suggests that 16% of all measurements should lie one standard deviation below the mean. Since chloroform measurements cannot be negative, this population cannot be normally distributed.  1.20  Since approximately 68% will fall between $390 ($420 – $30) to $450 ($420 + $30), the proportion above $450 is approximately 16%.  1.21  (Similar to exercise 1.20) Having a gain of more than 20 pounds represents all measurements greater than one standard deviation below the mean. By the empirical rule, the proportion above this value is approximately 84%, so the manufacturer is probably correct. n  1.22  (See exercise 1.11)  ∑( y i =1  i  − y) =  n  ∑y i =1  i  n  n  i =1  i =1  – ny = ∑ yi − ∑ yi = 0 .  1.23  a. (Similar to exercise 1.20) 95 sec = 1 standard deviation above 75 sec, so this percentage is 16% by the empirical rule. b. (35 sec., 115 sec) represents an interval of 2 standard deviations about the mean, so approximately 95% c. 2 minutes = 120 sec = 2.5 standard deviations above the mean. This is unlikely.  1.24  a.

For Ex. 1.24, 34/9.55 = 3.56. For Ex. 1.25, 708/162.17 = 4.37. The ratio increases as the sample size increases.  1.27  (64, 80) is one standard deviation about the mean, so 68% of 340 or approx. 231 scores. (56, 88) is two standard deviations about the mean, so 95% of 340 or 323 scores.  1.28  (Similar to 1.23) 13 mg/L is one standard deviation below the mean, so 16%.  1.29  If the empirical rule is assumed, approximately 95% of all bearing should lie in (2.98, 3.02) – this interval represents two standard deviations about the mean. So, approximately 5% will lie outside of this interval.  1.30  If μ = 0 and σ = 1.2, we expect 34% to be between 0 and 0 + 1.2 = 1.2. Also, approximately 95%/2 = 47.5% will lie between 0 and 2.4. So, 47.5% – 34% = 13.5% should lie between 1.2 and 2.4.  1.31  Assuming normality, approximately 95% will lie between 40 and 80 (the standard deviation is 10). The percent below 40 is approximately 2.5% which is relatively unlikely.  1.32  For a sample of size n, let n′ denote the number of measurements that fall outside the interval y ± ks, so that (n – n′)/n is the fraction that falls inside the interval. To show this fraction is greater than or equal to 1 – 1/k2, note that (n – 1)s2 = ∑ ( yi − y ) 2 + ∑ ( yi − y ) 2 , (both sums must be positive) i∈A  i∈b  where A = {i: |yi - y | ≥ ks} and B = {i: |yi – y | < ks}. We have that ∑ ( yi − y ) 2 ≥ ∑ k 2 s 2 = n′k2s2, since if i is in A, |yi – y | ≥ ks and there are n′ elements in i∈A  i∈A  A. Thus, we have that s2 ≥ k2s2n′/(n-1), or 1 ≥ k2n′/(n–1) ≥ k2n′/n. Thus, 1/k2 ≥ n′/n or (n – n′)/n ≥ 1 – 1/k2.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 1: What is Statistics?  7 Instructor's Solutions Manual  1.33  With k =2, at least 1 – 1/4 = 75% should lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The interval is (0.5, 10.5).  1.34  The point 13 is 13 – 5.5 = 7.5 units above the mean, or 7.5/2.5 = 3 standard deviations above the mean. By Tchebysheff's theorem, at least 1 – 1/32 = 8/9 will lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Thus, at most 1/9 of the values will exceed 13.  1.35  a. (172 – 108)/4 =16 15  b. With  ∑ yi = 2041 and i =1  15  ∑y i =1  2 i  = 281,807 we have that y = 136.1 and s = 17.1  0  10  20  30  40  50  60  70  c. a = 136.1 – 2(17.1) = 101.9, b = 136.1 + 2(17.1) = 170.3. d. There are 14 observations contained in this interval, and 14/15 = 93.3%. 75% is a lower bound.  0  1.36  a. The histogram is above. 100  b.

The calculations agree with Tchebysheff's theorem. 1.37  Since the lead readings must be non negative, 0 (the smallest possible value) is only 0.33 standard deviations from the mean. This indicates that the distribution is skewed.  1.38  By Tchebysheff's theorem, at least 3/4 = 75% lie between (0, 140), at least 8/9 lie between (0, 193), and at least 15/16 lie between (0, 246). The lower bounds are all truncated a 0 since the measurement cannot be negative.  www.elsolucionario.net  Chapter 2: Probability 2.1  A = {FF}, B = {MM}, C = {MF, FM, MM}.

For each wine, there are 4 ordered triples where it is not last. So, the probability is 2/3.  2.31  a. There are four "good" systems and two "defactive" systems. If two out of the six systems are chosen randomly, there are 15 possible unique pairs. Denoting the systems as g1, g2, g3, g4, d1, d2, the sample space is given by S = {g1g2, g1g3, g1g4, g1d1, g1d2, g2g3, g2g4, g2d1, g2d2, g3g4, g3d1, g3d2, g4g1, g4d1, d1d2}. Thus: P(at least one defective) = 9/15 P(both defective) = P(d1d2) = 1/15 b. If four are defective, P(at least one defective) = 14/15. P(both defective) = 6/15.  2.32  a. Let "1" represent a customer seeking style 1, and "2" represent a customer seeking style 2. The sample space consists of the following 16 four-tuples: 1111, 1112, 1121, 1211, 2111, 1122, 1212, 2112, 1221, 2121, 2211, 2221, 2212, 2122, 1222, 2222 b. If the styles are equally in demand, the ordering should be equally likely. So, the probability is 1/16. c. P(A) = P(1111) + P(2222) = 2/16.  2.33  a.

Thus, P(A) ≥ 0.9833. 2.110 Define the events: I: item is from line I II: item is from line II N: item is not defective Then, P(N) = P( N ∩ ( I ∪ II )) = P(N∩I) + P(N∩II) = .92(.4) + .90(.6) = 0.908. 2.111 Define the following events: A: buyer sees the magazine ad B: buyer sees the TV ad C: buyer purchases the product The following are known: P(A) = .02, P(B) = .20, P(A∩B) = .01. Thus P( A ∩ B ) = .21. Also, P(buyer sees no ad) = P( A ∩ B ) = 1 − P( A ∪ B ) = 1 – 0.21 = 0.79. Finally, it is known that P(C | A ∪ B ) = 0.1 and P(C | A ∩ B ) = 1/3. So, we can find P(C) as P(C) = P(C ∩ ( A ∪ B )) + P(C ∩ ( A ∩ B )) = (1/3)(.21) + (.1)(.79) = 0.149. 2.112 a. P(aircraft undetected) = P(all three fail to detect) = (.02)(.02)(.02) = (.02)3. b.

From the description of the problem, there is a 50% chance a car will be rejected. To find the probability that three out of four will be rejected (i.e. the drivers chose team 2), ⎛4⎞ note that there are ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 4 ways that three of the four cars are evaluated by team 2. Each ⎝ 3⎠ one has probability (.5)(.5)(.5)(.5) of occurring, so the probability is 4(.5)4 = 0.25. b. The probability that all four pass (i.e. all four are evaluated by team 1) is (.5)4 = 1/16. 2.118 If the victim is to be saved, a proper donor must be found within eight minutes. The patient will be saved if the proper donor is found on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th try. But, if the donor is found on the 2nd try, that implies he/she wasn't found on the 1st try. So, the probability of saving the patient is found by, letting A = {correct donor is found}: P(save) = P(A) + P( A A) + P( A A A) + P( A A A A) . By independence, this is .4 + .6(.4) + (.6)2(.4) + (.6)3(.4) = 0.8704 2.119 a. Define the events: A: obtain a sum of 3 B: do not obtain a sum of 3 or 7 Since there are 36 possible rolls, P(A) = 2/36 and P(B) = 28/36. Obtaining a sum of 3 before a sum of 7 can happen on the 1st roll, the 2nd roll, the 3rd roll, etc. Using the events above, we can write these as A, BA, BBA, BBBA, etc. The probability of obtaining a sum of 3 before a sum of 7 is given by P(A) + P(B)P(A) + [P(B)]2P(A) + [P(B)]3P(A) + … . (Here, we are using the fact that the rolls are independent.) This is an infinite sum, and it follows as a geometric series. Thus, 2/36 + (28/36)(2/36) + (28/36)2(2/26) + … = 1/4. b. Similar to part a. Define C: obtain a sum of 4 D: do not obtain a sum of 4 or 7 Then, P(C) = 3/36 and P(D) = 27/36. The probability of obtaining a 4 before a 7 is 1/3. 2.120 Denote the events G: good refrigerator D: defective refrigerator th a. If the last defective refrigerator is found on the 4 test, this means the first defective refrigerator was found on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd test. So, the possibilities are DGGD, GDGD, and GGDD. So, the probability is ( 62 )( 45 )( 43 ) 13 . The probabilities associated with the other two events are identical to the first. So, the desired probability is 3 ( 62 )( 45 )( 43 ) 13 = 15 . b. Here, the second defective refrigerator must be found on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th test. Define: A1: second defective found on 2nd test A2: second defective found on 3rd test A3: second defective found on 4th test  www.elsolucionario.net 22  Chapter 2: Probability  Instructor's Solutions Manual  Clearly, P(A1) = ( 62 )( 15 ) = 151 . Also, P(A3) = 15 from part a. Note that A2 = {DGD, GDD}. Thus, P(A2) = 2 ( 62 )( 45 )( 14 ) = 152 . So, P(A1) + P(A2) + P(A3) = 2/5. c. Define:  B1: second defective found on 3rd test B2: second defective found on 4th test  Clearly, P(B1) = 1/4 and P(B2) = (3/4)(1/3) = 1/4.

Also, A and B can be written as the union of two disjoint sets: A = ( A ∩ B ) ∪ ( A ∩ B ) and B = ( A ∩ B ) ∪ ( A ∩ B ) . Thus, P( A ∩ B ) = P( A) − P( A ∩ B ) and P( A ∩ B ) = P( B ) − P( A ∩ B ) .

So, design A has the higher probability. 2.164 Using the notation from Ex. 2.163, P( R1 ∩ R4 | A) = P ( R1 ∩ R4 ∩ A) / P( A) . Note that R1 ∩ R4 ∩ A = R1 ∩ R4 , since the event R1 ∩ R4 represents a path for the current to flow.

The two other tires picked by the customer must have ranks 4, 5, or 6. So, there are ⎛ 3⎞ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 3 ways to do this. So, the probability is 3/70. ⎝2⎠ b. There are four ways the range can be 4: #1 to #5, #2 to #6, #3 to #7, and #4 to #8. Each has probability 3/70 (as found in part a). So, P(R = 4) = 12/70. c. Similar to parts a and b, P(R = 3) = 5/70, P(R = 5) = 18/70, P(R = 6) = 20/70, and P(R = 7) = 15/70.  2.169 a. For each beer drinker, there are 4! = 24 ways to rank the beers. So there are 243 = 13,824 total sample points. b. In order to achieve a combined score of 4 our less, the given beer may receive at most one score of two and the rest being one. Consider brand A. If a beer drinker assigns a one to A there are still 3! = 6 ways to rank the other brands. So, there are 63 ways for brand A to be assigned all ones. Similarly, brand A can be assigned two ones and one two in 3(3!)3 ways. Thus, some beer may earn a total rank less than or equal to four in 4[63 + 3(3!)3] = 3456 ways. So, the probability is 3456/13824 = 0.25.  ⎛7⎞ 2.170 There are ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 35 ways to select three names from seven.

If one wants to know the probability condition on living in a certain area, it is not possible to determine. 2.172 Only P( A | B + P( A | B ) = 1 is true for any events A and B.  2.173 Define the events: D: item is defective C: item goes through inspection Thus P(D) = .1, P(C|D) = .6, and P(C | D ) = .2. Thus, P (C | D ) P ( D ) = .25. P( D | C ) = P (C | D ) P ( D ) + P (C | D ) P ( D ) 2.174 Let A = athlete disqualified previously B = athlete disqualified next term Then, we know P( B | A ) = .15, P( B | A) = .5, P( A) = .3 . To find P(B), use the law of total probability: P(B) = .3(.5) + .7(.15) = 0.255. 2.175 Note that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = .5. But, P( A ∩ B ∩ C ) = P(HH) = .25 ≠ (.5)3. So, they are not mutually independent. 2.176 a. P[( A ∪ B ) ∩ C )] = P[( A ∩ C ) ∪ ( B ∩ C )] = P( A ∩ C ) + P( B ∩ C ) − P( A ∩ B ∩ C ) = P( A) P(C ) + P( B ) P(C ) − P( A) P( B ) P(C ) = [ P( A) + P( B ) − P( A) P( B )]P(C ) = P( A ∩ B ) P(C ) . b. Similar to part a above. 2.177 a. P(no injury in 50 jumps) = (49/50)50 = 0.364. b. P(at least one injury in 50 jumps) = 1 – P(no injury in 50 jumps) = 0.636. c. P(no injury in n jumps) = (49/50)n ≥ 0.60, so n is at most 25. 2.178 Define the events: E: person is exposed to the flu F: person gets the flu Consider two employees, one of who is inoculated and one not. The probability of interest is the probability that at least one contracts the flu. Consider the complement: P(at least one gets the flu) = 1 – P(neither employee gets the flu). For the inoculated employee: P( F ) = P( F ∩ E ) + P( F ∩ E ) = .8(.6) + 1(.4) = 0.88. For the non-inoculated employee: P( F ) = P( F ∩ E ) + P( F ∩ E ) = .1(.6) + 1(.4) = 0.46. So, P(at least one gets the flu) = 1 – .88(.46) = 0.5952 2.179 a. The gamblers break even if each win three times and lose three times. Considering the ⎛6⎞ possible sequences of "wins" and "losses", there are ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 20 possible orderings. Since ⎝ 3⎠  each has probability ( 12 ) , the probability of breaking even is 20 ( 12 ) = 0.3125. 6  6  www.elsolucionario.net 30  Chapter 2: Probability  Instructor's Solutions Manual  b. In order for this event to occur, the gambler Jones must have $11 at trial 9 and must win on trial 10. So, in the nine remaining trials, seven "wins" and two "losses" must be ⎛9⎞ placed. So, there are ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = 36 ways to do this. However, this includes cases where ⎝2⎠ Jones would win before the 10th trial. Now, Jones can only win the game on an even trial (since he must gain $6). Included in the 36 possibilities, there are three ways Jones could win on trial 6: WWWWWWWLL, WWWWWWLLW, WWWWWWLWL, and there are six ways Jones could win on trial 8: LWWWWWWWL, WLWWWWWWL, WWLWWWWWL, WWWLWWWWL, WWWWLWWWL, WWWWWLWWL. So, these nine cases must be 10 removed from the 36. So, the probability is 27 ( 12 ) . 2.180 a. If the patrolman starts in the center of the 16x16 square grid, there are 48 possible paths to take. Only four of these will result in reaching the boundary. Since all possible paths are equally likely, the probability is 4/48 = 1/47. b. Assume the patrolman begins by walking north. There are nine possible paths that will bring him back to the starting point: NNSS, NSNS, NSSN, NESW, NWSE, NWES, NEWS, NSEW, NSWE. By symmetry, there are nine possible paths for each of north, south, east, and west as the starting direction. Thus, there are 36 paths in total that result in returning to the starting point. So, the probability is 36/48 = 9/47. 2.181 We will represent the n balls as 0's and create the N boxes by placing bars ( | ) between the 0's. For example if there are 6 balls and 4 boxes, the arrangement 0|00||000 represents one ball in box 1, two balls in box 2, no balls in box 3, and three balls in box 4. Note that six 0's were need but only 3 bars. In general, n 0's and N – 1 bars are needed to ⎛ N + n − 1⎞ ⎟⎟ represent each possible placement of n balls in N boxes. Thus, there are ⎜⎜ ⎝ N −1 ⎠ ways to arrange the 0's and bars. Now, if no two bars are placed next to each other, no box will be empty. So, the N – 1 bars must be placed in the n – 1 spaces between the 0's. ⎛ n −1 ⎞ ⎟⎟ , so that the probability is as given in the The total number of ways to do this is ⎜⎜ ⎝ N − 1⎠ problem.  www.elsolucionario.net  Chapter 3: Discrete Random Variables and Their Probability Distributions 3.1  P(Y = 0) = P(no impurities) = .2, P(Y = 1) = P(exactly one impurity) = .7, P(Y = 2) = .1.  3.2  We know that P(HH) = P(TT) = P(HT) = P(TH) = 0.25.

Then, P = C – 15 with probability 98/100 and P = C – 15 – 1000 with probability 2/100. Then, E(P) = (C – 15)(98/100) + (C – 15 – 1000)(2/100) = 50. Thus, C = $85.  3.20  With probability .3 the volume is 8(10)(30) = 2400. With probability .7 the volume is 8*10*40 = 3200. Then, the mean is .3(2400) + .7(3200) = 2960.  3.21  Note that E(N) = E(8πR2) = 8πE(R2). So, E(R2) = 212(.05) + 222(.20) + … + 262(.05) = 549.1.

If Y = 0, either the salesperson contacted only one customer and failed to make a sale or the salesperson contacted two customers and failed to make both sales. Thus P(Y = 0) = 1/3(9/10) + 2/3(9/10)(9/10) = 252/300. If Y = 2, the salesperson contacted to customers and made both sales. So, P(Y = 2) = 2/3(1/10)(1/10) = 2/300. Therefore, P(Y = 1) = 1 – 252/300 – 2/300 = 46/300. Then, E(Y) = 0(252/300) + 50000(46/300) + 100000(2/300) = 25000/3 (or $8333.33).

The four possible outcomes for this event are {KNNNK, NKNNK, NNKNK, NNNKK}, where K denotes a king and N denotes a 47 46 3 non–king. Each of these outcomes has probability: ( 524 )( 48 51 )( 50 )( 49 )( 48 ) . Then, the desired 47 46 3 probability is P(A) = 4 ( 524 )( 48 51 )( 50 )( 49 )( 48 ) = .016. 3.120 There are N animals in this population.

Therefore, p(2) =  12 2!  e −1 = .1839.  3.124 Using Table 3 in Appendix III, we find that if Y is Poisson with λ = 6.6, P(Y ≤ 2) = .04. Using this value of λ, P(Y > 5) = 1 – P(Y ≤ 5) = 1 – .355 = .645. 3.125 Let S = total service time = 10Y. From Ex. 3.122, Y is Poisson with λ = 7. Therefore, E(S) = 10E(Y) = 7 and V(S) = 100V(Y) = 700. Also, P(S > 150) = P(Y > 15) = 1 – P(Y ≤ 15) = 1 – .998 = .002, and unlikely event. 3.126 a.

The same answer as in part a. is found. 3.127 Let Y = # of typing errors per page. Then, Y is Poisson with λ = 4 and P(Y ≤ 4) = .6288. 3.128 Note that over a one–minute period, Y = # of cars that arrive at the toll booth is Poisson with λ = 80/60 = 4/3. Then, P(Y ≥ 1) = 1 – P(Y = 0) = 1 – e– 4/3 = .7364. 3.129 Following the above exercise, suppose the phone call is of length t, where t is in minutes. Then, Y = # of cars that arrive at the toll booth is Poisson with λ = 4t/3. Then, we must find the value of t such that P(Y = 0) = 1 – e–4t/3 ≥ .4. Therefore, t ≤ – 43 ln(.6) = .383 minutes, or about .383(60) = 23 seconds. 3.130 Define: Y1 = # of cars through entrance I, Y2 = # of cars through entrance II. Thus, Y1 is Poisson with λ = 3 and Y2 is Poisson with λ = 4.  Then, P(three cars arrive) = P(Y1 = 0, Y2 = 3) + P(Y1 = 1, Y2 = 2)+ P(Y1 = 2, Y2 = 1) + +P(Y1 = 3, Y2 = 0). By independence, P(three cars arrive) = P(Y1 = 0)P(Y2 = 3) + P(Y1 = 1)P(Y2 = 2) + P(Y1 = 2)P(Y2 = 1) + P(Y1 = 3)P(Y2 = 0).

The intervals are 20 ± 2(4) or (12, 28), 20 + 3(4) or (8, 32). d. By Tchebysheff's theorem, 1 – 1/32 or approximately 89% of the time the number of correct answers will lie in the interval (8, 32). Since a passing score of 50 is far from this range, receiving a passing score is very unlikely. 3.169 a. E(Y) = –1(1/18) + 0(16/18) + 1(1/18) = 0. E(Y2) = 1(1/18) + 0(16/18) + 1(1/18) = 2/18 = 1/9.

The interval is 100 ± (3/2)10, or 85 to 115. 3.172 From Ex. 3.115, E(Y) = 1 and V(Y) = .4. Thus, σ = .63. The interval of interest is 1 ± 2(.63), or (–.26, 2.26). Since Y can only take on values 0, 1, or 2, 100% of the values will lie in the interval. According to Tchebysheff's theorem, the lower bound for this probability is 75%. 3.173 a. The binomial probabilities are p(0) = 1/8, p(1) = 3/8, p(2) = 3/8, p(3) = 1/8. b. The graph represents a symmetric distribution. c. E(Y) = 3(1/2) = 1.5, V(Y) = 3(1/2)(1/2) = .75. Thus, σ = .866. d. For one standard deviation about the mean: 1.5 ± .866 or (.634, 2.366) This traps the values 1 and 2, which represents 7/8 or 87.5% of the probability. This is consistent with the empirical rule. For two standard deviations about the mean: 1.5 ± 2(.866) or (–.232, 3.232) This traps the values 0, 1, and 2, which represents 100% of the probability. This is consistent with both the empirical rule and Tchebysheff's theorem. 3.174 a. (Similar to Ex. 3.173) the binomial probabilities are p(0) = .729, p(1) = .243, p(2) = .027, p(3) = .001. b. The graph represents a skewed distribution. c. E(Y) = 3(.1) = .3, V(Y) = 3(.1)(.9) = .27. Thus, σ = .520. d. For one standard deviation about the mean: .3 ± .520 or (–.220, .820) This traps the value 1, which represents 24.3% of the probability. This is not consistent with the empirical rule. For two standard deviations about the mean: .3 ± 2(.520) or (–.740, 1.34) This traps the values 0 and 1, which represents 97.2% of the probability. This is consistent with both the empirical rule and Tchebysheff's theorem. 3.175 a. The expected value is 120(.32) = 38.4 b. The standard deviation is 120(.32)(.68) = 5.11. c. It is quite likely, since 40 is close to the mean 38.4 (less than .32 standard deviations away). 3.176 Let Y represent the number of students in the sample who favor banning clothes that display gang symbols. If the teenagers are actually equally split, then E(Y) = 549(.5) = 274.5 and V(Y) = 549(.5)(.5) = 137.25. Now. Y/549 represents the proportion in the sample who favor banning clothes that display gang symbols, so E(Y/549) = .5 and V(Y/549) = .5(.5)/549 = .000455. Then, by Tchebysheff's theorem, P(Y/549 ≥ .85) ≤ P(|Y/549 – .5| ≥ .35) ≤ 1/k2,  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 3: Discrete Random Variables and Their Probability Distributions  51 Instructor's Solutions Manual  where k is given by kσ = .35. From above, σ = .02134 so k = 16.4 and 1/(16.4)2 = .0037. This is a very unlikely result. It is also unlikely using the empirical rule. We assumed that the sample was selected randomly from the population. 3.177 For C = 50 + 3Y, E(C) = 50 + 3(10) = $80 and V(C) = 9(10) = 90, so that σ = 9.487. Using Tchebysheff's theorem with k = 2, we have P(|Y – 80| < 2(9.487)) ≥ .75, so that the required interval is (80 – 2(9.487), 80 + 2(9.487)) or (61.03, 98.97). 3.178 Using the binomial, E(Y) = 1000(.1) = 100 and V(Y) = 1000(.1)(.9) = 90. Using the result that at least 75% of the values will fall within two standard deviation of the mean, the interval can be constructed as 100 ± 2 90 , or (81, 119). 3.179 Using Tchebysheff's theorem, observe that P(Y ≥ μ + kσ) = P(Y − μ ≥ kσ) ≤ P(| Y − μ |≥ kσ) ≤  . Therefore, to find P(Y ≥ 350) ≤ 1/k2, we solve 150 + k(67.081) = 350, so k = 2.98.

Then, Y is binomial with n = 4 and p = P(at least one bacteria colony) = 1 – P(no bacteria colonies) = 1 – e–2 = .865 (by the Poisson). Thus, P(Y ≥ 1) = 1 – P(Y = 0) = 1 – (.135)4 = .9997. b. Following the above, we require 1 – (.135)n = .95 or (.135)n = .05. Solving for n, we ln(.05 ) have n = ln(. 135 ) = 1.496, so take n = 2. 3.198 Let Y = # of neighbors for a seedling within an area of size A. Thus, Y is Poisson with λ = A*d, where for this problem d = 4 per square meter. a. Note that "within 1 meter" denotes an area A = π(1 m)2 = π m2. Thus, P(Y = 0) = e–4π. b. "Within 2 meters" denotes an area A = π(2 m)2 = 4π m2. Thus, 3  P(Y ≤ 3) = P(Y = 0) + P(Y = 1) + P(Y = 2) + P(Y = 3) =  ∑ y =0  (16π ) y e −16 π y!  .  3.199 a.

Then, Y is binomial with n = 5 and p = .2. Thus, P(Y ≤ 3) = .993. 3.205 One solution: let Y = # of tosses until 3 sixes occur. Therefore, Y is negative binomial ⎛8⎞ 3 6 where r = 3 and p = 1/6. Then, P(Y = 9) = ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟( 16 ) ( 65 ) = .0434127 . Note that this ⎝ 2⎠ probability contains all events where a six occurs on the 9th toss. Multiplying the above probability by 1/6 gives the probability of observing 4 sixes in 10 trials, where a six occurs on the 9th and 10th trial: (.0424127)(1/6) = .007235. 3.206 Let Y represent the gain to the insurance company for a particular insured driver and let P be the premium charged to the driver.

Thus,  E(Y) = 2000(.5) = 1000 and V(Y) = 2000(.5)(.5) = 500. Since σ = 500 = 22.36, observe that 1373 is (1373 – 1000)/22.36 = 16.68 standard deviations above the mean. Such a value is unlikely. 3.209 Let Y = # of contracts necessary to obtain the third sale. Then, Y is negative binomial with r = 3, p = .3.

Thus, P(| Y − 3 |≤ 2(1.732)) = P( −.464 ≤ Y ≤ 6.464) = P(Y ≤ 6) = .966. This is consistent with the empirical rule (approximately 95%). 3.211 There are three scenarios: • if she stocks two items, both will sell with probability 1.

Thus, her expected profit is (–.60).1 + .60(.9) = $.48. • if she stocks four items, two will sell with probability .1 (a loss of 1.60), three will sell with probability .4 (a loss of .40), and four will sell with probability .5 (a gain of .80. Thus, her expected profit is (–1.60).1 + (–.40).4 + (.80).5 = $.08  So, to maximize her expected profit, stock three items. 3.212 Note that:  ⎛ r ⎞⎛ N −r ⎞ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎝ y ⎠⎝ n− y ⎠ ⎛N⎞ ⎜⎜ n ⎟⎟ ⎝ ⎠  =  n! y!( n − y )!

If N2 = 1, all of the k people are healthy and this probability is (.95)k. Thus, P(N2 = k + 1) = 1 – (.95)k. Thus, E(N2) = 1(.95)k + (k + 1)(1 – .95k) = 1 + k(1 – .95k). This expectation holds for each group, so that for n groups the expected number of tests is n[1 + k(1 – .95k)]. b. Writing the above as g(k) = Nk [1 + k(1 – .95k)], where n = Nk , we can minimize this with respect to k. Note that g′(k) = k12 + (.95k)ln(.95), a strictly decreasing function.

So, P(Z > .75) = .2266.  4.69  The z–score for 1.9 is (1.9 – 2.4)/.8 = –.625. Thus, P(Z < –.625) = .2660.  4.70  From Ex. 4.68, the proportion of students with a GPA greater than 3.0 is .2266. Let X = # in the sample with a GPA greater than 3.0. Thus, X is binomial with n = 3 and p = .2266. Then, P(X = 3) = (.2266)3 = .0116.  4.71  Let Y = the measured resistance of a randomly selected wire. −.13 −.13 a. P(.12 ≤ Y ≤ .14) = P( .12.005 ≤ Z ≤ .14.005 ) = P(–2 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = .9544. b. Let X = # of wires that do not meet specifications. Then, X is binomial with n = 4 and p = .9544. Thus, P(X = 4) = (.9544)4 = .8297.  4.72  Let Y = interest rate forecast, so Y has a normal distribution with μ = .07 and σ = .026. −.07 a. P(Y > .11) = P(Z > .11.026 ) = P(Z > 1.54) = .0618. −.07 b. P(Y < .09) = P(Z > .09.026 ) = P(Z > .77) = .7794.  4.73  Let Y = width of a bolt of fabric, so Y has a normal distribution with μ = 950 mm and σ = 10 mm. a. P(947 ≤ Y ≤ 958) = P( 94710−950 ≤ Z ≤ 95810−950 ) = P(–.3 ≤ Z ≤ .8) = .406 b. It is necessary that P(Y ≤ c) = .8531. Note that for the standard normal, we find that P(Z ≤ z0) = .8531 when z0 = 1.05. So, c = 950 + (1.05)(10) = 960.5 mm.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 4: Continuous Variables and Their Probability Distributions  71 Instructor's Solutions Manual  4.74  Let Y = examination score, so Y has a normal distribution with μ = 78 and σ2 = 36. a. P(Y > 72) = P(Z > –1) = .8413. b. We seek c such that P(Y > c) = .1. For the standard normal, P(Z > z0) = .1 when z0 = 1.28. So c = 78 + (1.28)(6) = 85.68. c. We seek c such that P(Y > c) = .281. For the standard normal, P(Z > z0) = .281 when z0 = .58. So, c = 78 + (.58)(6) = 81.48. d. For the standard normal, P(Z < –.67) = .25. So, the score that cuts off the lowest 25% is given by (–.67)(6) + 78 = 73.98. e. Similar answers are obtained. f. P(Y > 84 | Y > 72) = P(Y > 84)/P(Y > 72) = P(Z > 1)/P(Z > –1) = .1587/.8413 = .1886.  4.75  Let Y = volume filled, so that Y is normal with mean μ and σ = .3 oz. They require that P(Y > 8) = .01. For the standard normal, P(Z > z0) = .01 when z0 = 2.33. Therefore, it must hold that 2.33 = (8 – μ)/.3, so μ = 7.301.  4.76  It follows that .95 = P(|Y– μ| < 1) = P(|Z| < 1/σ), so that 1/σ = 1.96 or σ = 1/1.96 = .5102.  4.77  a. Let Y = SAT math score. Then, P(Y < 550) = P(Z < .7) = 0.758. b. If we choose the same percentile, 18 + 6(.7) = 22.2 would be comparable on the ACT math test.  4.78  2  Easiest way: maximize the function lnf (y) = − ln(σ 2π ) − ( y2−σμ2) to obtain the maximum  at y = μ and observe that f (μ) = 1/( σ 2π ). 4.79  The second derivative of f (y) is found to be f ′′( y ) =  [  2  ]  (  σ  3  1 2π  )e  − ( y −μ ) 2 2 σ 2  [1 −  ( μ − y )2 σ2  ]. Setting  this equal to 0, we must have that 1 − ( μσ−2y ) = 0 (the other quantities are strictly positive). The two solutions are y = μ + σ and μ – σ. 4.80  Observe that A = L*W = |Y| × 3|Y| = 3Y2. Thus, E(A) = 3E(Y2) = 3(σ2 + μ2).  4.81  a. Γ(1) = ∫ e − y dy = − e − y  ∞  ]  ∞  0  = 1.  0  ∞  b.

The .05–quantile for the χ2 distribution is exactly one–half that of the .05–quantile for the gamma distribution. It is due to the relationship stated in Ex. 4.86.  4.88  Let Y have an exponential distribution with β = 2.4. ∞  a. P(Y > 3) =  ∫  1 − y / 2.4 2.4  e  dy = e −3 / 2.4 = .2865.  3  3  b.

So, φ.99 = –100ln(.01) = 460.52 cfs.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 4: Continuous Variables and Their Probability Distributions  73 Instructor's Solutions Manual  4.92  The random variable Y has an exponential distribution with β = 10. The cost C is related to Y by the formula C = 100 + 40Y + 3Y2. Thus, E(C) = E(100 + 40Y + 3Y2) = 100 + 40(10) + 3E(Y2) = 100 + 400 + 3(100 + 102) = 1100. To find V(C), note that V(C) = E(C2) – [E(C)]2. Therefore, E(C2) = E[(100 + 40Y + 3Y2)2] = 10,000 + 2200E(Y2) + 9E(Y4) + 8000E(Y) + 240E(Y3).

P(X = k) = e–(k–1)/β – e–k/β = e–(k–1)/β – e–(k–1)/β(e1/β) = e–(k–1)/β(1 – e1/β) = [e–1/β]k–1(1 – e1/β).

From part b, we see the integrands for P(Y1 ≤ k) and P(Y2 ≤ k) are identical but since p1 < p2, the regions of integration are different. So, Y2 is "stochastically greater" than Y1.  www.elsolucionario.net 80  Chapter 4: Continuous Variables and Their Probability Distributions  Instructor's Solutions Manual  4.136 a. Observing that the exponential distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution, we can use the gamma moment–generating function with α = 1 and β = θ: 1 m(t ) = , t < 1/θ. 1 − θt θ b. The first two moments are found by m′(t ) = , E(Y) = m′(0) = θ . (1 − θt ) 2 m′′(t ) =  2θ , E(Y2) = m′′(0) = 2θ 2 . So, V(Y) = 2θ2 – θ2 = θ2. 3 (1 − θt )  4.137 The mgf for U is mU (t ) = E (e tU ) = E ( e t ( aY +b ) ) = E ( e bt e ( at )Y ) = e bt m( at ) . Thus,  mU′ (t ) = be bt m( at ) + ae bt m′( at ) . So, mU′ (0) = b + am′(0) = b + aμ = E (U ) . mU′′ (t ) = b 2 e bt m( at ) + abe bt m′( at ) + abe bt m′( at ) + a 2 e bt m′′( at ) , so mU′′ (0) = b 2 + 2abμ + a 2 E (Y 2 ) = E (U 2 ) . Therefore, V(U) = b 2 + 2abμ + a 2 E (Y 2 ) – (b + aμ ) 2 = a 2 [ E (Y 2 ) − μ 2 ] = a 2 σ 2 . 4.138 a. For U = Y – μ, the mgf mU (t ) is given in Example 4.16. To find the mgf for Y = U + μ, use the result in Ex. 4.137 with a = 1, b = – μ: 2 2  mY (t ) = e −μt mU (t ) = e μt +σ t 2 2  b. mY′ (t ) = (μ + tσ 2 )e μt +σ t mY′′ (t ) = (μ + tσ ) e 2 2  /2  /2  , so mY′ (0) = μ  μt + σ 2t 2 / 2  2 2  + σ 2 e μt +σ t  /2  , so mY′′ (0) = μ 2 + σ 2 . Finally, V(Y) = σ2.  4.139 Using Ex. 4.137 with a = –3 and b = 4, it is trivial to see that the mgf for X is 2 2  m X (t ) = e 4t m( −3t ) = e ( 4−3μ ) t +9 σ t  /2  .

The mgf for V is mV (t ) = e bt interval (b, b + a).  e at −1 at  =  e( b + a ) t − ebt at  , which implies that V is uniform on the  4.143 The mgf for the gamma distribution is m(t ) = (1 − βt ) − α . Thus, m′(t ) = αβ(1 − βt ) − α−1 , so m′(0) = αβ = E (Y )  m′′(t ) = (α + 1)αβ2 (1 − βt ) − α−2 , so m′′(0) = (α + 1)αβ2 = E (Y 2 ) . So, V(Y) = (α + 1)αβ2 − (αβ) 2 = αβ 2 . 4.144 a. The density shown is a normal distribution with μ = 0 and σ2 = 1. Thus, k = 1 / 2π . b. From Ex. 4.138, the mgf is m(t ) = e t c. E(Y) = 0 and V(Y) = 1. 0  4.145 a.

By using the methods with mgfs, E(Y) = –1, E(Y2) = 2, so V(Y) = 2 – (–1)2 = 1. 4.146 We require P(|Y– μ| ≤ kσ) ≥ .90 = 1 – 1/k2. Solving for k, we see that k = 3.1622. Thus, the necessary interval is |Y– 25,000| ≤ (3.1622)(4000) or 12,351 ≤ 37,649. 4.147 We require P(|Y– μ| ≤ .1) ≥ .75 = 1 – 1/k2. Thus, k = 2. Using Tchebysheff's inequality, 1 = kσ and so σ = 1/2. 4.148 In Exercise 4.16, μ = 2/3 and σ =  2 / 9 = .4714. Thus,  P(|Y – μ| ≤ 2σ) = P(|Y – 2/3| ≤ .9428) = P(–.2761 ≤ Y ≤ 1.609) = F(1.609) = .962. Note that the negative portion of the interval in the probability statement is irrelevant since Y is non–negative. According to Tchsebysheff's inequality, the probability is at least 75%. The empirical rule states that the probability is approximately 95%. The above probability is closest to the empirical rule, even though the density function is far from mound shaped.  www.elsolucionario.net 82  Chapter 4: Continuous Variables and Their Probability Distributions  Instructor's Solutions Manual θ1 + θ2 2  4.149 For the uniform distribution on (θ1, θ2), μ =  2σ =  and σ2 =  ( θ2 − θ1 ) 3  ( θ2 − θ1 ) 2 12  . Thus,  .  The probability of interest is P(|Y – μ| ≤ 2σ) = P(μ – 2σ ≤ Y ≤ μ + 2σ) = P( θ1 +2θ2 – ( θ2 −3θ1 ) ≤ Y ≤  θ1 + θ2 2  + ( θ2 −3θ1 ) )  It is not difficult to show that the range in the last probability statement is greater than the actual interval that Y is restricted to, so P( θ1 +2θ2 – ( θ2 −3θ1 ) ≤ Y ≤  θ1 + θ2 2  + ( θ2 −3θ1 ) ) = P(θ1 ≤ Y ≤ θ2) = 1.  Note that Tchebysheff's theorem is satisfied, but the probability is greater than what is given by the empirical rule. The uniform is not a mound–shaped distribution. 4.150 For the exponential distribution, μ = β and σ2 = β2. Thus, 2σ = 2β. The probability of interest is  P(|Y – μ| ≤ 2σ) = P(μ – 2σ ≤ Y ≤ μ + 2σ) = P(–β ≤ Y ≤ 3β) = P(0 ≤ Y ≤ 3β) This is simply F(3β) = 1 – e–3β = .9502. The empirical rule and Tchebysheff's theorem are both valid. 4.151 From Exercise 4.92, E(C) = 1000 and V(C) = 2,920,000 so that the standard deviation is 2,920,000 = 1708.80. The value 2000 is only (2000 – 1100)/1708.8 = .53 standard deviations above the mean. Thus, we would expect C to exceed 2000 fair often. 4.152 We require P(|L– μ| ≤ kσ) ≥ .89 = 1 – 1/k2. Solving for k, we have k = 3.015. From Ex. 4.109, μ = 276 and σ = 218.32. The interval is |L– 276| ≤ 3.015(218.32) or (–382.23, 934.23) Since L must be positive, the interval is (0, 934.23) 4.153 From Ex. 4.129, it is shown that E(C) =  52 3  and V(C) = 29.96, so, the standard deviation  is 29.96 = 5.474. Thus, using Tchebysheff's theorem with k = 2, the interval is |Y –  52 3  | ≤ 2(5.474) or (6.38, 28.28)  4.154 a. μ = 7, σ2 = 2(7) = 14. b. Note that σ = 14 = 3.742. The value 23 is (23 – 7)/3.742 = 4.276 standard deviations above the mean, which is unlikely. c. With α = 3.5 and β = 2, P(Y > 23) = .00170.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 4: Continuous Variables and Their Probability Distributions  83 Instructor's Solutions Manual  4.155 The random variable Y is uniform over the interval (1, 4).

The random variable C = cost of the delay is given as 100 1≤ y ≤ 2 ⎧ C = g (Y ) = ⎨ ⎩100 + 20(Y − 2) 2 < y ≤ 4 ∞  Thus, E (C ) = E[ g (Y )] =  2  ∫ g ( y ) f ( y )dy = ∫  −∞  1  4  100 3  dy + ∫ [100 + 20( y − 2)] 13dy = $113.33. 2  4.156 Note that Y is a discrete random variable with probability .2 + .1 = .3 and it is continuous with probability 1 – .3 = .7. Hence, by using Definition 4.15, we can write Y as a mixture of two random variables X1 and X2. The random variable X1 is discrete and can assume two values with probabilities P(X1 = 3) = .2/.3 = 2/3 and P(X1 = 6) = .1/.3 = 1/3. Thus, E(X1) = 3(2/3) + 6(1/3) = 4. The random variable X2 is continuous and follows a gamma distribution (as given in the problem) so that E(X2) = 2(2) = 4. Therefore,  E(Y) = .3(4) + .7(4) = 4. ⎧ 0 ⎪⎪ x 1 4.157 a.

Since there is one discrete point at 0 with probability .02, using Definition 4.15 we have that c1 = .02 and c2 = .98. Denoting the kinetic energy as K = m2 V2 we can solve for the expected value:  E(K)= (.98) m2 E(V2) = (.98) m2 {V(V) + [E(V)]2} = (.98) m2 {4(500)2 + 20002} = 2,450,000m. 4.159 a.

Find E(Y) directly using mathematical expectation, or observe that f (y) is symmetric about 0 so using the result from Ex. 4.27, E(Y) = 0. 4.161 Here, μ = 70 and σ = 12 with the normal distribution. We require φ.9 , the 90th percentile of the distribution of test times. Since for the standard normal distribution, P(Z < z0) = .9 for z0 = 1.28, thus φ.9 = 70 + 12(1.28) = 85.36. 4.162 Here, μ = 500 and σ = 50 with the normal distribution. We require φ.01 , the 1st percentile of the distribution of light bulb lives.

The probability P[N = 0 in (0, t)] is given by  = e–λt. Thus, F(t) = 1 – e–λt and  f (t) = λe–λt, t > 0. This is the exponential distribution with β = 1/λ. 4.169 Let Y = time between the arrival of two call, measured in hours. To find P(Y > .25), note that λt = 10 and t = 1.

Then,  P(R > r) = P(no plants in a circle of radius r) Since the number of plants in a area of one unit has a Poisson distribution with mean λ, the number of plants in a area of πr2 units has a Poisson distribution with mean λπr2. Thus, 2 F(r) = P(R ≤ r) = 1 – P(R > r) = 1 – e − λπr . 2  So, f ( r ) = F ′(t ) = 2λπre − λπr , r > 0. 4.174 Let Y = interview time (in hours).

By symmetry, the marginal density for Y2 is also exponential with β = 1.  c. When α = 0, then f ( y1 , y 2 ) = e − y1 − y2 = f1 ( y1 ) f 2 ( y 2 ) and so Y1 and Y2 are independent. Now, suppose Y1 and Y2 are independent. Then, E(Y1Y2) = E(Y1)E(Y2) = 1.

Provided that the constants b and d are b 2V (Y1 ) d 2V (Y2 ) | bd |  nonzero,  bd is either 1 or –1. Thus, | ρW1 ,W2 | = | ρY1 ,Y2 | . | bd |  b. Yes, the answers agree. 5.112 In Ex. 5.61, it was showed that Y1 and Y2 are independent. In addition, Y1 has a gamma distribution with α = 2 and β = 2, and Y2 has an exponential distribution with β = 2. So, with C = 50 + 2Y1 + 4Y2, it is clear that E(C) = 50 + 2E(Y1) + 4E(Y2) = 50 + (2)(4) + (4)(2) = 66 V(C) = 4V(Y1) + 16V(Y2) = 4(2)(4) + 16(4) = 96. 5.113 The net daily gain is given by the random variable G = X – Y. Thus, given the distributions for X and Y in the problem,  E(G) = E(X) – E(Y) = 50 – (4)(2) = 42 V(G) = V(G) + V(G) = 32 + 4(22) = 25. The value $70 is (70 – 42)/5 = 7.2 standard deviations above the mean, an unlikely value. 5.114 Observe that Y1 has a gamma distribution with α = 4 and β = 1 and Y2 has an exponential distribution with β = 2. Thus, with U = Y1 – Y2, a. E(U) = 4(1) – 2 = 2 b. V(U) = 4(12) + 22 = 8 c. The value 0 has a z–score of (0 – 2)/ 8 = –.707, or it is –.707 standard deviations below the mean. This is not extreme so it is likely the profit drops below 0. 5.115 Following Ex. 5.88: a. Note that for non–negative integers a and b and i ≠ j,  P(Yi = a, Yj = b) = P(Yj = b | Yi = a)P(Yi = a) But, P(Yj = b | Yi = a) = P(Yj = b) since the trials (i.e. die tosses) are independent –– the experiments that generate Yi and Yj represent independent experiments via the memoryless property. So, Yi and Yj are independent and thus Cov(Yi. Yj) = 0. b. V(Y) = V(Y1) + … + V(Y6) = 0 +  1/ 6 ( 5 / 6 )2  + ( 42//66)2 + ( 33//66)2 + ( 24//66)2 + (15//66)2 = 38.99.  c. From Ex. 5.88, E(Y) = 14.7. Using Tchebysheff's theorem with k = 2, the interval is 14.7 ± 2 38.99 or (0 , 27.188)  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 5: Multivariate Probability Distributions  111 Instructor's Solutions Manual  5.116 V(Y1 + Y2) = V(Y1) + V(Y2) + 2Cov(Y1, Y2), V(Y1 – Y2) = V(Y1) + V(Y2) – 2Cov(Y1, Y2). When Y1 and Y2 are independent, Cov(Y1, Y2) = 0 so the quantities are the same. 5.117 Refer to Example 5.29 in the text. The situation here is analogous to drawing n balls from an urn containing N balls, r1 of which are red, r2 of which are black, and N – r1 – r2 are neither red nor black. Using the argument given there, we can deduce that: E(Y1) = np1 V(Y1) = np1(1 – p1) ( NN −−1n ) where p1 = r1/N E(Y2) = np2 V(Y2) = np2(1 – p2) ( NN −−1n ) where p2 = r2/N Now, define new random variables for i = 1, 2, …, n: ⎧1 if alligator i is a mature female ⎧1 if alligator i is a mature male Ui = ⎨ Vi = ⎨ otherwise otherwise ⎩0 ⎩0 n  n  i =1  i =1  Then, Y1 = ∑U i and Y2 = ∑Vi .

Now, for i ≠ j, E(Ui, Vj) = P(Ui = 1, Vi = 1) = P(Ui = 1)P(Vi = 1|Ui = 1) = Since there are n(n – 1) terms in  r1 N  ( )= r2 N −1  N N −1  ∑ E (U V ) , we have that E(Y1Y2) = n(n – 1) i  j  i≠ j  Thus,  Cov(Y1, Y2) = n(n – 1) NN−1 p1 p2 – (np1)(np2) = − n (NN−−1n ) p1 p2 .

Since X1 and X2 have gamma distributions and are independent, we have that E(Y) = 50(2) + 20(2) = 140 V(Y) = 50(22) + 20(22) = 280. b. Consider Tchebysheff's theorem with k = 4: the corresponding interval is  140 + 4 280 or (73.07, 206.93). So, we can say that the sustained load will exceed 206.93 kips with probability less than 1/16.  www.elsolucionario.net 112  Chapter 5: Multivariate Probability Distributions  Instructor's Solutions Manual  5.119 a.

If Cov(U 1 ,U 2 ) = 0, it must be true that  ∑a b i =1  i  j  = 0 since σ2 > 0. But, it is  n  trivial to see if  ∑a b i =1  i  j  = 0, Cov(U 1 ,U 2 ) = 0. So, U1 and U2 are orthogonal.  www.elsolucionario.net 114  Chapter 5: Multivariate Probability Distributions  Instructor's Solutions Manual  b. Given in the problem, (U 1 ,U 2 ) has a bivariate normal distribution. Note that n  n  n  i =1  i =1  i =1  n  E(U1) = μ ∑ ai , E(U2) = μ ∑ bi , V(U1) = σ 2 ∑ ai , and V(U2) = σ 2 ∑ bi . If they are 2  2  i =1  orthogonal, Cov(U 1 ,U 2 ) = 0 and then ρU1 ,U 2 = 0. So, they are also independent. 5.131 a. The joint distribution of Y1 and Y2 is simply the product of the marginals f 1 ( y1 ) and f 2 ( y 2 ) since they are independent. It is trivial to show that this product of density has the form of the bivariate normal density with ρ = 0. n  b. Following the result of Ex. 5.130, let a1 = a2 = b1 = 1 and b2 = –1. Thus,  ∑a b i =1  i  j  =0  so U1 and U2 are independent. 5.132 Following Ex. 5.130 and 5.131, U1 is normal with mean μ1 + μ2 and variance 2σ2 and U2 is normal with mean μ1 – μ2 and variance 2σ2. 5.133 From Ex. 5.27, f ( y1 | y 2 ) = 1 / y 2 , 0 ≤ y1 ≤ y2 and f 2 ( y 2 ) = 6 y 2 (1 − y 2 ) , 0 ≤ y2 ≤ 1. a. To find E (Y1 | Y2 = y 2 ) , note that the conditional distribution of Y1 given Y2 is uniform y on the interval (0, y2). So, E (Y1 | Y2 = y 2 ) = 2 . 2 b. To find E ( E (Y1 | Y2 )) , note that the marginal distribution is beta with α = 2 and β = 2. So, from part a, E ( E (Y1 | Y2 )) = E(Y2/2) = 1/4. This is the same answer as in Ex. 5.77. 5.134 The z–score is (6 – 1.25)/ 1.5625 = 3.8, so the value 6 is 3.8 standard deviations above the mean. This is not likely. 5.135 Refer to Ex. 5.41: a. Since Y is binomial, E(Y|p) = 3p. Now p has a uniform distribution on (0, 1), thus E(Y) = E[E(Y|p)] = E(3p) = 3(1/2) = 3/2. b. Following part a, V(Y|p) = 3p(1 – p). Therefore, V(p) = E[3p(1 – p)] + V(3p) = 3E(p – p2) + 9V(p) = 3E(p) – 3[V(p) + (E(p))2] + 9V(p) = 1.25 5.136 a. For a given value of λ, Y has a Poisson distribution. Thus, E(Y | λ) = λ. Since the marginal distribution of λ is exponential with mean 1, E(Y) = E[E(Y | λ)] = E(λ) = 1. b. From part a, E(Y | λ) = λ and so V(Y | λ) = λ. So, V(Y) = E[V(Y | λ)] + E[V(Y | λ)] = 2 c. The value 9 is (9 – 1)/ 2 = 5.657 standard deviations above the mean (unlikely score). 5.137 Refer to Ex. 5.38: E (Y2 | Y1 = y1 ) = y1/2.

Using  .5 .5 / y 2  straightforward integration, this is equal to (5 – 3ln2)/4 = .73014. 5.153 This is similar to Ex. 5.139: a. Let N = # of eggs laid by the insect and Y = # of eggs that hatch. Given N = n, Y has a binomial distribution with n trials and success probability p. Thus, E(Y | N = n) = np. Since N follows as Poisson with parameter λ, E(Y) = E[E(Y | N )] = E(Np ) = λp. b. V(Y) = E[V(Y | N)] + V[E(Y | N)] = E[Np(1 – p)] + V[Np] = λp. 5.154 The conditional distribution of Y given p is binomial with parameter p, and note that the marginal distribution of p is beta with α = 3 and β = 2. 1 1 ⎛ n ⎞ 1 y +2 a.

It follows from part a above (i.e. the variance is positive).  www.elsolucionario.net 118  Chapter 5: Multivariate Probability Distributions  Instructor's Solutions Manual  5.156 a. Since E(Z) = E(W) = 0, Cov(Z, W) = E(ZW) = E(Z2 Y −1 / 2 ) = E(Z2)E( Y −1 / 2 ) = E( Y −1 / 2 ).  This expectation can be found by using the result Ex. 4.112 with a = –1/2.

Then, E(Y) = ΣE(Xi) = r/p and V(Y) = rq/p2.

The mgf for X1 can be found by evaluating m(t, 0, 0). Note that q = p2 + p3 = 1 – p1. c. Since Cov(X1, X2) = E(X1X2) – E(X1)E(X2) and E(X1) = np1 and E(X2) = np2 since X1 and X2 have marginal binomial distributions. To find E(X1X2), note that ∂2 m(t1 , t 2 ,0) t1 =t2 =0 = n( n − 1) p1 p2 . ∂t1 ∂t 2  Thus, Cov(X1, X2) = n(n – 1)p1p2 – (np1)(np2) = –np1p2. 5.166 The joint probability mass function of (Y1, Y2, Y3) is given by ⎛ N 1 ⎞⎛ N 2 ⎞⎛ N 3 ⎞ ⎛ Np1 ⎞⎛ Np2 ⎞⎛ Np3 ⎞ ⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟⎜⎜ ⎟⎟⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟⎜ y1 ⎠⎝ y 2 ⎠⎝ y3 ⎠ ⎝ y1 ⎟⎠⎜⎝ y 2 ⎟⎠⎜⎝ y3 ⎟⎠ ⎝ p( y1 , y 2 , y 3 ) = = , ⎛N⎞ ⎛N⎞ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ ⎝n⎠ ⎝n⎠ where y1 + y2 + y3 = n.

It can be shown that (using mathematical expectation and straightforward albeit messy algebra) E(Y1Y2) = n( n − 1) p1 p2 NN−1 . Using this, it is seen that Cov(Y1, Y2) = n( n − 1) p1 p2 NN−1 – (np1)(np2) = –np1p2 ( NN −−n1 ) . (Note the similar expressions in Ex. 5.165.) Finally, it can be found that p1 p 2 . ρ=− (1 − p1 )(1 − p2 ) 5.167 a. For this exercise, the quadratic form of interest is At 2 + Bt + C = E (Y12 )t 2 + [ −2 E (Y1Y2 )]t + [ E (Y22 )]2 . Since E[(tY1 – Y2)2] ≥ 0 (it is the integral of a non–negative quantity), so we must have that At 2 + Bt + C ≥ 0. In order to satisfy this inequality, the two roots of this quadratic must either be imaginary or equal. In terms of the discriminant, we have that B 2 − 4 AC ≤ 0 , or [ −2 E (Y1Y2 )]2 − 4 E (Y12 ) E (Y22 ) ≤ 0 .  Thus, [ E (Y1Y2 )]2 ≤ E (Y12 ) E (Y22 ) . b.

The joint density of U and Y2 is g(u, y2) = 2e–2u, u ≥ 0, y2 ≥ 0, and y2 < 2u. 2u  Thus, fU (u ) = ∫ 2e −2u dy 2 = 4ue −2u for u ≥ 0. 0  6.26  a. Using the transformation approach, Y = U1/m so that  dy du  = m1 u − ( m−1) / m so that the density  function for U is fU ( u ) = α1 e − u / α , u ≥ 0. Note that this is the exponential distribution with mean α. ∞  b. E (Y ) = E (U k  k/m  ) = ∫ u k / m α1 e −u / α du = Γ( mk + 1)α k / m , using the result from Ex. 4.111. 0  6.27  a. Let W= Y . The random variable Y is exponential so f Y ( y ) = β1 e − y / β . Then, Y = W2  and  dy dw  = 2w . Then, f Y ( y ) = β2 we − w  2  /β  , w ≥ 0, which is Weibull with m = 2.  b. It follows from Ex. 6.26 that E(Yk/2) = Γ( k2 + 1)β k / 2 6.28  If Y is uniform on the interval (0, 1), fU (u ) = 1 . Then, Y = e −U / 2 and  dy du  = − 12 e −u / 2 .

This is the  exponential density with mean θ. b. From part a, E(Y) = E(U1/2) = 6.35  πθ 2  . Also, E(Y2) = E(U) = θ, so V(Y) = θ[1 − π4 ] .  By independence, f ( y1 , y2 ) = 1 , 0 ≤ y1 ≤ 0, 0 ≤ y2 ≤ 1. Let U = Y1Y2. For a fixed value of Y1 at y1, then y2 = u/y1. So that  dy2 du  =  . So, the joint density of Y1 and U is  1 y1  g ( y1 , u ) = 1 / y1 , 0 ≤ y1 ≤ 0, 0 ≤ u ≤ y1. 1  Thus, fU (u ) = ∫ (1 / y1 )dy1 = − ln(u ) , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. u  6.36  By independence, f ( y1 , y2 ) =  4 y1 y2 θ2  2  2  e − ( y1 + y2 ) , y1 > 0, y2 > 0. Let U = Y12 + Y22 . For a fixed  value of Y1 at y1, then U = y12 + Y22 so we can write y 2 = u − y12 . Then,  dy 2 du  =  1 2 u − y12  so  that the joint density of Y1 and U is g ( y1 , u ) = u  Then, fU (u ) =  ∫  2 θ2  4 y1 u − y12 θ2  y1e −u / θ dy1 =  1 θ2  e −u / θ  1 2 u − y12  = θ22 y1e − u / θ , for 0 < y1 <  u.  ue −u / θ .

The mdf for U is mU (t ) = E (eUt ) = E (e ( a1Y1 +a2Y2 ) t ) = E ( e ( a1t )Y1 ) E (e ( a2t )Y2 ) = mY1 ( a1t )mY2 ( a 2 t ) .  6.39  The mgf for the exponential distribution with β = 1 is m(t ) = (1 − t ) −1 , t < 1. Thus, with Y1 and Y2 each having this distribution and U = (Y1 + Y2)/2. Using the result from Ex. 6.38, let a1 = a2 = 1/2 so the mgf for U is mU (t ) = m(t / 2)m(t / 2) = (1 − t / 2) −2 . Note that this is the mgf for a gamma random variable with α = 2, β = 1/2, so the density function for U is fU (u ) = 4ue −2u , u ≥ 0 .  6.40  It has been shown that the distribution of both Y12 and Y22 is chi–square with ν = 1. Thus, both have mgf m(t ) = (1 − 2t ) −1 / 2 , t < 1/2. With U = Y12 + Y22 , use the result from Ex. 6.38 with a1 = a2 = 1 so that mU (t ) = m(t )m(t ) = (1 − 2t ) −1 . Note that this is the mgf for a exponential random variable with β = 2, so the density function for U is fU (u ) = 12 e − u / 2 , u ≥ 0 (this is also the chi–square distribution with ν = 2.)  6.41  (Special case of Theorem 6.3) The mgf for the normal distribution with parameters μ and 2 2 σ is m(t ) = eμt +σ t / 2 . Since the Yi's are independent, the mgf for U is given by n  n  i =1  i =1  [  ]  mU (t ) = E ( eUt ) = ∏ E ( e aitYi ) = ∏ m( ai t ) = exp μt ∑iai + (t 2 σ 2 / 2)∑ia i2 . This is the mgf for a normal variable with mean μ∑i a i and variance σ 2 ∑ia i2 . 6.42  The probability of interest is P(Y2 > Y1) = P(Y2 – Y1 > 0). By Theorem 6.3, the distribution of Y2 – Y1 is normal with μ = 4000 – 5000 = –1000 and σ2 = 4002 + 3002 = ( −1000 ) 250,000. Thus, P(Y2 – Y1 > 0) = P(Z > 0−250 ) = P(Z > 2) = .0228. , 000  6.43  a. From Ex. 6.41, Y has a normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ2/n. b. For the given values, Y has a normal distribution with variance σ2/n = 16/25. Thus, the standard deviation is 4/5 so that P(|Y –μ| ≤ 1) = P(–1 ≤ Y –μ ≤ 1) = P(–1.25 ≤ Z ≤ 1.25) = .7888. c. Similar to the above, the probabilities are .8664, .9544, .9756. So, as the sample size increases, so does the probability that P(|Y –μ| ≤ 1).  6.44  The total weight of the watermelons in the packing container is given by U = ∑i =1 Yi , so n  by Theorem 6.3 U has a normal distribution with mean 15n and variance 4n. We require that .05 = P (U > 140) = P( Z > 140−415n n ) . Thus, 140−415n n = z.05= 1.645. Solving this nonlinear expression for n, we see that n ≈ 8.687. Therefore, the maximum number of watermelons that should be put in the container is 8 (note that with this value n, we have P(U > 140) = .0002).  www.elsolucionario.net 128  Chapter 6: Functions of Random Variables  Instructor's Solutions Manual  6.45  By Theorem 6.3 we have that U = 100 +7Y1 + 3Y2 is a normal random variable with mean μ = 100 + 7(10) + 3(4) = 182 and variance σ2 = 49(.5)2 + 9(.2)2 = 12.61. We require a −182 −182 value c such that P(U > c) = P( Z > c12 ). So, c12 = 2.33 and c = $190.27. .61 .61  6.46  The mgf for W is mW (t ) = E (eWt ) = E ( e( 2Y / β )t ) = mY (2t / β) = (1 − 2t ) − n / 2 . This is the mgf for a chi–square variable with n degrees of freedom.  6.47  By Ex. 6.46, U = 2Y/4.2 has a chi–square distribution with ν = 7. So, by Table III, P(Y > 33.627) = P(U > 2(33.627)/4.2) = P(U > 16.0128) = .025.  6.48  From Ex. 6.40, we know that V = Y12 + Y22 has a chi–square distribution with ν = 2. The density function for V is fV ( v ) = 12 e − v / 2 , v ≥ 0. The distribution function of U = V is 2  FU (u ) = P(U ≤ u ) = P(V ≤ u 2 ) = FV (u 2 ) , so that fU (u ) = FU′ (u ) = ue − u / 2 , u ≥ 0.

Since Y1 and Y2 are independent, the mgf for Y1 + Y2 is mY1 (t ) × mY2 (t ) = [1 − p + pe t ]n1 +n2 . This is the mgf of a binomial with n1 + n2 trials and success probability p.  6.50  The mgf for Y is mY (t ) = [1 − p + pe t ]n . Now, define X = n –Y. The mgf for X is m X (t ) = E (e tX ) = E (e t ( n−Y ) ) = etn mY ( −t ) = [ p + (1 − p )e t ]n . This is an mgf for a binomial with n trials and "success" probability (1 – p). Note that the random variable X = # of failures observed in the experiment.  6.51  From Ex. 6.50, the distribution of n2 – Y2 is binomial with n2 trials and "success" probability 1 – .8 = .2. Thus, by Ex. 6.49, the distribution of Y1 + (n2 – Y2) is binomial with n1 + n2 trials and success probability p = .2.  6.52  The mgfs for Y1 and Y2 are, respectively, mY1 (t ) = e λ1 ( e −1) , mY2 (t ) = e λ2 ( e −1) . t  t  a. Since Y1 and Y2 are independent, the mgf for Y1 + Y2 is mY1 (t ) × mY2 (t ) = e( λ1 +λ2 )( e −1) . t  This is the mgf of a Poisson with mean λ1 + λ2. b.

The mgf for a binomial variable Yi with ni trials and success probability pi is given by n mYi (t ) = [1 − pi + pi et ]ni . Thus, the mgf for U = ∑i =1 Yi is mU (t ) = ∏i [1 − pi + pi e t ]ni . a.

So, f (u1 , u2 ) = u 2u3 (11−u )2 , 1 2  1  with limits as specified in the problem. c. The limits may be simplified to: 1/u1 < u2, 0 < u1 < 1/2, or 1/(1–u1) < u2, 1/2 ≤ u1 ≤ 1. ∞  d. If 0 < u1 < 1/2, then fU1 (u1 ) =  ∫  1 u12u23 (1−u1 )2  du2 =  1 / u1  1 2 (1−u1 )2  .  ∞  If 1/2 ≤ u1 ≤ 1, then fU1 (u1 ) =  ∫  1 u12u23 (1−u1 )2 1 /(1−u1 )  du2 =  1 2 u12  .  e. Not independent since the joint density does not factor. Also note that the support is not rectangular.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 6: Functions of Random Variables  133 Instructor's Solutions Manual  6.70  a. Since Y1 and Y2 are independent, their joint density is f ( y1 , y2 ) = 1 . The inverse  transformations are y1 =  u1 +u2 2  and y2 = J =  u1 −u2 2  . Thus the Jacobian is  1 2  1 2  − 12  1 2  = 12 , so that  f (u1 , u2 ) = 12 , with limits as specified in the problem. b. The support is in the shape of a square with corners located (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (1, –1). c. If 0 < u1 < 1, then fU1 (u1 ) =  u1  ∫  1 2  du2 = u1 .  −u1  If 1 ≤ u1 < 2, then fU1 (u1 ) =  2 −u1 1 2 u1 −2  ∫  d.

The joint density of Y1 and Y2 is f ( y1 , y 2 ) =  e − ( y1 + y2 ) / β . The inverse transformations  1 β2  are y1 = 1u+1uu22 and y 2 = 1+uu1 2 and the Jacobian is J=  So, the joint density of U1 and U2 is f (u1 , u2 ) =  u2 1+u2  1 1+u2  1 β2  u1 (1+u2 )2 −u1 (1+u2 )2  e − u1 / β  =  u1 (1+u2 )2  −u1 (1+u2 )2  , u1 > 0, u2 > 0.  b. Yes, U1 and U2 are independent since the joint density factors and the support is rectangular (Theorem 5.5). 6.72  Since the distribution function is F(y) = y for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, a. g (1) (u ) = 2(1 − u ) , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. b. Since the above is a beta density with α = 1 and β = 2, E(U1) = 1/3, V(U1) = 1/18.  6.73  Following Ex. 6.72, a. g ( 2 ) (u ) = 2u , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. b. Since the above is a beta density with α = 2 and β = 1, E(U2) = 2/3, V(U2) = 1/18.  6.74  Since the distribution function is F(y) = y/θ for 0 ≤ y ≤ θ, n a. G( n ) ( y ) = ( y / θ) , 0 ≤ y ≤ θ. b. g ( n ) ( y ) = G(′n ) ( y ) = ny n−1 / θ n , 0 ≤ y ≤ θ. c. It is easily shown that E(Y(n)) =  n n +1  θ , V(Y(n)) =  nθ2 ( n +1)2 ( n +2 )  .  www.elsolucionario.net 134  Chapter 6: Functions of Random Variables  Instructor's Solutions Manual  6.75  Following Ex. 6.74, the required probability is P(Y(n) < 10) = (10/15)5 = .1317.  6.76  Following Ex. 6.74 with f (y) = 1/θ for 0 ≤ y ≤ θ, a.

To evaluate this  0  integral, apply the transformation z = θy and relate the resulting integral to that of a beta density with α = k + 1 and β = n – k + 1. Thus, E(Y(k)) = nk+1 θ . c. Using the same techniques in part b above, it can be shown that E (Y(2k ) ) =  so that V(Y(k)) =  ( n − k +1) k ( n +1)2 ( n +2 )  k ( k +1) ( n +1)( n +2 )  θ2  θ2 .  d. E(Y(k) – Y(k–1)) = E(Y(k)) – E(Y(k–1)) = nk+1 θ – kn+−11 θ = n1+1 θ . Note that this is constant for all k, so that the expected order statistics are equally spaced. 6.77  a. Using Theorem 6.5, the joint density of Y(j) and Y(k) is given by  g ( j )( k ) ( y j , y k ) =  () (  y j j −1 yk n!

The expectations E(Y(j)) and E(Y(k)) were derived in Ex. 6.76. To find E(Y(j)Y(k)), let u = yj/θ and v = yk/θ and write 1 v  E(Y(j)Y(k)) = cθ  ∫∫u  j  ( v − u ) k −1− j v(1 − v ) n−k dudv ,  0 0  where c =  n! ( j −1)!( k −1− j )!( n − k )!  . Now, let w = u/v so u = wv and du = vdw. Then, the integral is  ⎡1 ⎤⎡ 1 ⎤ cθ2 ⎢ ∫ u k +1 (1 − u ) n−k du ⎥ ⎢ ∫ w j (1 − w) k −1− j dw⎥ = cθ2 [B( k + 2, n − k + 1)][B( j + 1, k − j )] . ⎣0 ⎦⎣ 0 ⎦ ( k +1) j 2 Simplifying, this is ( n+1)( n+2 ) θ . Thus, Cov(Y(j), Y(k)) = ( n(+k1+)(1n)+j 2 ) θ2 – ( n+jk1)2 θ2 = ( n+n1−)2k(+n1+2 ) θ2 . c. V(Y(k) – Y(j)) = V(Y(k)) + V(Y(j)) – 2Cov(Y(j), Y(k)) = ( n(+n1−)k2 +( 1n)+k2 ) θ2 + ( n(+n1−)2j +( 1n)+j2 ) θ2 – ( n2+(1n)−2 k( n+1+)2 ) θ2 =  ( k − j )( n − k + k +1) ( n +1)2 ( n +2 ) Γ ( n +1) Γ ( k ) Γ ( n − k +1)  θ2 .  6.78  From Ex. 6.76 with θ = 1, g ( k ) ( y ) = ( k −1)!n(!n−k )! y k −1 (1 − y ) n−k = Since 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, this is the beta density as described.  6.79  The joint density of Y(1) and Y(n) is given by (see Ex. 6.77 with j = 1, k = n), g (1)( n ) ( y1 , y n ) = n( n − 1)  (  yn θ  −  )( )  y1 n 1 2 θ θ  y k −1 (1 − y ) n−k .  = n( n − 1)( θ1 ) ( y n − y1 ) n−2 , 0 ≤ y1 ≤ yn ≤ θ. n  Applying the transformation U = Y(1)/Y(n) and V = Y(n), we have that y1 = uv, yn = v and the Jacobian of transformation is v. Thus, n n f (u, v ) = n( n − 1)( 1θ ) ( v − uv ) n−2 v = n( n − 1)( 1θ ) (1 − u ) n−2 v n−1 , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, 0 ≤ v ≤ θ. Since this joint density factors into separate functions of u and v and the support is rectangular, thus Y(1)/Y(n) and V = Y(n) are independent.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 6: Functions of Random Variables  135 Instructor's Solutions Manual  6.80  The density and distribution function for Y are f ( y ) = 6 y (1 − y ) and F ( y ) = 3 y 2 − 2 y 3 , respectively, for 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. n a. G( n ) ( y ) = (3 y 2 − 2 y 3 ) , 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. b. g ( n ) ( y ) = G(′n ) ( y ) = n(3 y 2 − 2 y 3 ) (6 y − 6 y 2 ) = 6ny (1 − y )(3 y 2 − 2 y 3 ) , 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. c. Using the above density with n = 2, it is found that E(Y(2))=.6286. n −1  6.81  n −1  a.

With n = 5, β = 2, Y(1) has and exponential distribution with mean .4. Thus P(Y(1) ≤ 3.6) = 1 − e −9 = .99988.  6.82  Note that the distribution function for the largest order statistic is n n G( n ) ( y ) = [F ( y )] = 1 − e − y / β , y ≥ 0.  [  ]  It is easily shown that the median m is given by m = φ.5 = βln2. Now,  P(Y(m) > m) = 1 – P(Y(m) ≤ m) = 1 – [F (β ln 2)] = 1 – (.5)n. n  6.83  Since F(m) = P(Y ≤ m) = .5, P(Y(m) > m) = 1 – P(Y(n) ≤ m) = 1 – G( n ) ( m) = 1 – (.5)n. So, the answer holds regardless of the continuous distribution.  6.84  The distribution function for the Weibull is F ( y ) = 1 − e − y / α , y > 0. Thus, the distribution function for Y(1), the smallest order statistic, is given by m  [  G(1) ( y ) = 1 − [1 − F ( y )] = 1 − e − y n  m  /α  ] =1− e n  − ny m / α  , y > 0.

Using the method of transformations, let R = Y(n) – Y(1) and S = Y(1). The inverse transformations are y1 = s and yn = r + s and Jacobian of transformation is 1. Thus, the joint density of R and S is given by f ( r , s ) = n( n − 1)( r + s − s ) n−2 = n( n − 1)r n−2 , 0 ≤ s ≤ 1 – r ≤ 1. (Note that since r = yn – y1, r ≤ 1 – y1 or equivalently r ≤ 1 – s and then s ≤ 1 – r).

The last expression above comes from noting the integrand is related an exponential density with mean 2 /(1 + u12 ) . The distribution of U1 is called the Cauchy distribution. 6.104 a. The event {Y1 = Y2} occurs if {(Y1 = 1, Y2 = 1), (Y1 = 2, Y2 = 2), (Y1 = 3, Y2 = 3), …} So, since the probability mass function for the geometric is given by p(y) = p(1 – p)y–1, we can find the probability of this event by P(Y1 = Y2) = p(1)2 + p(2)2 + p(3)2 … = p 2 + p 2 (1 − p ) 2 + p 2 (1 − p ) 4 + ... ∞  = p 2 ∑ (1 − p ) 2 j = j =0  p2 p . = 2 1 − (1 − p ) 2− p  b.

This is the beta distribution with parameters β and α. 6.106 Recall that the distribution function for a continuous random variable is monotonic increasing and returns values on [0, 1]. Thus, the random variable U = F(Y) has support on (0, 1) and has distribution function FU (u ) = P(U ≤ u ) = P( F (Y ) ≤ u ) = P(Y ≤ F −1 (u )) = F [ F −1 (u )] = u , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1. The density function is fU (u ) = FU′ (u ) = 1 , 0 ≤ u ≤ 1, which is the density for the uniform distribution on (0, 1).  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 6: Functions of Random Variables  141 Instructor's Solutions Manual  6.107 The density function for Y is f ( y ) = 14 , –1 ≤ y ≤ 3.

That is, defining the system as S and using set notation, we have S = (C1 ∩ C2 ) ∩ (C3 ∪ C4 ) = (C1 ∩ C2 ∩ C3 ) ∪ (C1 ∩ C2 ∩ C4 ) . At some y, the probability that a component is operational is given by 1 – F(y). Since the components are independent, we have P( S ) = P(C1 ∩ C2 ∩ C3 ) + P(C1 ∩ C2 ∩ C4 ) − P(C1 ∩ C2 ∩ C3 ∩ C4 ) . Therefore, the reliability of the system is given by  [1 – F(y)]3 + [1 – F(y)]3 – [1 – F(y)]4 = [1 – F(y)]3[1 + F(y)]. 6.109 Let C3 be the production cost.

Therefore, 5Y 2 + Y62 has a chi–square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom (the two random variables are independent). Now, the quotient 2(5Y 2 + Y62 ) / U = [(5Y 2 + Y62 ) / 2] ÷ [U / 4] has an F-distribution with 2 numerator and 4 denominator degrees of freedom. Note: we have assumed that Y and U are independent (as in Theorem 7.3).  www.elsolucionario.net 148  Chapter 7: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem  Instructor's Solutions Manual  7.39  a. Note that for i = 1, 2, …, k, the X i have independent a normal distributions with mean  μi and variance σ/ni. Since θ̂ , a linear combination of independent normal random variables, by Theorem 6.3 θ̂ has a normal distribution with mean given by k E (θˆ ) = E (c1 X 1 + ... + c k X k ) = ∑i =1 ci μ i and variance k V (θˆ ) = V ( c1 X 1 + ... + ck X k ) = σ 2 ∑i =1 ci2 / ni2 .  b. For i = 1, 2, …, k, ( ni − 1) S i2 / σ 2 follows a chi–square distribution with ni – 1 degrees  of freedom. In addition, since the S i2 are independent, k SSE = ∑i =1 ( ni − 1) S i2 / σ 2 2 σ is a sum of independent chi–square variables. Thus, the above quantity is also distributed k k as chi–square with degrees of freedom ∑i =1 ( ni − 1) =∑i =1 ni − k . c. From part a, we have that  θˆ − θ σ  ∑  k  2 i =1 i  c / ni2  has a standard normal distribution. Therefore, by Definition 7.2, a random variable constructed as  ∑  θˆ − θ σ  ∑  k 2 i =1 i  c / ni2  has the t–distribution with  k  i =1  ( ni − 1)S i2 / σ 2  ∑  k  i =1  ∑  k  i =1  ni − k  =  θˆ − θ MSE∑i =1 ci2 / ni2 k  ni − k degrees of freedom. Here, we are assuming that θ̂  and SSE are independent (similar to Y and S2 as in Theorem 7.3). 7.40  a. Both histograms are centered about the mean M = 16.50, but the variation is larger for sample means of size 1. b. For sample means of size 1, the histogram closely resembles the population. For sample means of size 3, the histogram resembles the shape of the population but the variability is smaller. c. Yes, the means are very close and the standard deviations are related by a scale of 3 . d. The normal densities approximate the histograms fairly well. e. The normal density has the best approximation for the sample size of 25.  7.41  a. For sample means of size 1, the histogram closely resembles the population. For sample means of size 3, the histogram resembles that of a multi–modal population. The means and standard deviations follow the result of Ex. 7.40 (c), but the normal densities are not appropriate for either case. The normal density is better with n = 10, but it is best with n = 25. b. For the "U–shaped population," the probability is greatest in the two extremes in the distribution.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 7: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem  149 Instructor's Solutions Manual  7.42  Let Y denote the sample mean strength of 100 random selected pieces of glass. Thus, the quantity (Y – 14.5)/.2 has an approximate standard normal distribution. a. P(Y > 14) ≈ P(Z > 2.5) = .0062. b. We have that P(–1.96 < Z < 1.96) = .95. So, denoting the required interval as (a, b) such that P(a < Y < b) = .95, we have that –1.96 = (a – 14)/.2 and 1.96 = (b – 14)/.2. Thus, a = 13.608, b = 14.392.  7.43  Let Y denote the mean height and σ = 2.5 inches. By the Central Limit Theorem, −5(10 ) ) P(| Y − μ | ≤ .5) = P( −.5 ≤ Y − μ ≤ .5) ≈ P( −.52(.10 5 ≤ Z ≤ 2.5 ) = P ( −2 ≤ Z ≤ 2 ) = .9544.  7.44  Following Ex. 7.43, we now require P(| Y − μ | ≤ .4) = P( −.4 ≤ Y − μ ≤ .4) ≈ P( −.25.5 n ≤ Z ≤ Thus, it must be true that  5 n 2.5  5 n 2.5  ) = .95.  = 1.96, or n = 150.0625. So, 151 men should be sampled.  7.45  Let Y denote the mean wage calculated from a sample of 64 workers. Then, P(Y ≤ 6.90) ≈ P( Z ≤ 8 ( 6.90.5−7.00 ) ) = P( Z ≤ −1.60) = .0548 .  7.46  With n = 40 and σ ≈ (range)/4 = (8 – 5)/4 = .75, the approximation is P(| Y − μ | ≤ .2) ≈ P(| Z | ≤ 40.75(.2 ) ) = P( −1.69 ≤ Z ≤ 1.69) = .9090.  7.47  (Similar to Ex. 7.44). Following Ex. 7.47, we require P(| Y − μ | ≤ .1) ≈ P(| Z | ≤ n.75(.1) ) = .90. Thus, we have that taken.  7.48  n (.1) .75  = 1.645, so n = 152.21. Therefore, 153 core samples should be  a. Although the population is not normally distributed, with n = 35 the sampling distribution of Y will be approximately normal. The probability of interest is P(| Y − μ | ≤ 1) = P( −1 ≤ Y − μ ≤ 1) . In order to evaluate this probability, the population standard deviation σ is needed. Since it is unknown, we will estimate its value by using the sample standard deviation s = 12 so that the estimated standard deviation of Y is 12/ 35 = 2.028. Thus, 1 1 P(| Y − μ | ≤ 1) = P( −1 ≤ Y − μ ≤ 1) ≈ P( − 2.028 ≤ Z ≤ 2.028 ) = P( −.49 ≤ Z ≤ .49) = .3758. b. No, the measurements are still only estimates.  7.49  With μ = 1.4 hours, σ = .7 hour, let Y = mean service time for n = 50 cars. Then, P(Y > 1.6) ≈ P( Z > 50 (.167 −14 ) ) = P( Z > 2.02) = .0217.  7.50  We have P(| Y − μ |< 1) = P(| Z |<  1 σ/ n  ) = P( −1 < Z < 1) = .6826.  www.elsolucionario.net 150  Chapter 7: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem  Instructor's Solutions Manual  7.51  We require P(| Y − μ |< 1) = P(| Z |< true that  1 10 / n  1 σ/ n  ) = P( − 10 /1  n  < Z < 10 /1 n ) = .99. Thus it must be  = z.005 = 2.576. So, n = 663.57, or 664 measurements should be taken.  7.52  Let Y denote the average resistance for the 25 resistors. With μ = 200 and σ = 10 ohms, a. P(199 ≤ Y ≤ 202) ≈ P(–.5 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = .5328. b. Let X = total resistance of the 25 resistors. Then, P(X ≤ 5100) = P(Y ≤ 204) ≈ P(Z ≤ 2) = .9772.  7.53  a. With these given values for μ and σ, note that the value 0 has a z–score of (0 – 12)/9 = 1.33. This is not considered extreme, and yet this is the smallest possible value for CO concentration in air. So, a normal distribution is not possible for these measurements. b. Y is approximately normal: P(Y > 14) ≈ P( Z > 100 (914−12 ) ) = P( Z > 2.22) = .0132.  7.54  P(Y < 1.3) ≈ P( Z <  7.55  a.  25 (1.3−1.4 ) .05  ) = P( Z < −10) ≈ 0 , so it is very unlikely.  i. We assume that we have a random sample ii. Note that the standard deviation for the sample mean is .8/ 30 = .146. The endpoints of the interval (1, 5) are substantially beyond 3 standard deviations from the mean. Thus, the probability is approximately 1.  b. Let Yi denote the downtime for day i, i = 1, 2, …, 30. Then, 30 P( ∑i =1Yi < 115) = P(Y < 3.833) ≈ P( Z < 30 ( 3..8833−4 ) ) = P( Z < −1.14) = .1271. 7.56  Let Yi denote the volume for sample i, i = 1, 2, …, 30. We require 50 50 ( 4 −μ ) P( ∑i =1Yi > 200) = P(Y − μ < 200 ) = .95 . 50 − μ ) ≈ P ( Z < 2 Thus,  7.57  50 ( 4 −μ ) 2  = − z.05 = –1.645, and then μ = 4.47.  Let Yi denote the lifetime of the ith lamp, i = 1, 2, …, 25, and the mean and standard 25 deviation are given as 50 and 4, respectively. The random variable of interest is ∑i =1Yi , which is the lifetime of the lamp system. So, 25 P( ∑i =1Yi ≥ 1300) = P(Y ≥ 52) ≈ P( Z ≥  7.58  25 ( 52 −50 ) 4  ) = P( Z ≥ 2.5) = .0062.  For Wi = Xi – Yi, we have that E(Wi) = E(Xi) – E(Yi) = μ1 – μ2 and V(Wi) = V(Xi) – V(Yi) = n n σ12 + σ 22 since Xi and Yi are independent. Thus, W = 1n ∑i =1Wi = 1n ∑i =1 ( X i − Yi ) = X − Y so E (W ) = μ1 – μ2, and V (W ) = ( σ12 + σ 22 ) / n . Thus, since the Wi are independent, ( X − Y ) − (μ 1 − μ 2 ) W − E (W ) = Un = V (W ) ( σ12 + σ 22 ) / n satisfies the conditions of Theorem 7.4 and has a limiting standard normal distribution.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 7: Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem  151 Instructor's Solutions Manual  7.59  Using the result of Ex. 7.58, we have that n = 50, σ1 = σ2 = 2 and μ1 = μ2. Let X denote the mean time for operator A and let Y denote the mean time for operator B (both measured in seconds) Then, operator A will get the job if X – Y < –1. This probability is P( X – Y < –1) ≈ P Z < ( 4+−41) / 50 = P( Z < −2.5) = .0062.  (  7.60  Extending the result from Ex. 7.58, let X denote the mean measurement for soil A and Y the mean measurement for soil B. Then, we require P X − Y − (μ1 − μ 2 ) ≤ .05 ≈ P ⎡⎢ Z ≤ .01.05 .02 ⎤⎥ = P[ Z ≤ 2.5] = .9876. + 50 100 ⎦ ⎣  [  7.61  )  It is necessary to have  [  ]  [  ]  ]  n P X − Y − (μ 1 − μ 2 ) ≤ .04 ≈ P ⎡ Z ≤ .01.05.02 ⎤ = P Z ≤ ..05 = .90 . 01+.02 +n ⎥ ⎢⎣ n ⎦ n Thus, ..05 = z.05 = 1.645 , so n = 50.74. Each sample size must be at least n = 51. 01+.02  7.62  7.63  Let Yi represent the time required to process the ith person's order, i = 1, 2, …, 100. We have that μ = 2.5 minutes and σ = 2 minutes. So, since 4 hours = 240 minutes, 100 P( ∑i =1Yi > 240) = P(Y > 2.4) ≈ P ( Z > 100 ( 22.4−2.5) ) = P( Z > −.5) = .6915. Following Ex. 7.62, consider the relationship P( ∑i =1Yi < 120) = .1 as a function of n: n  Then, P( ∑i =1Yi < 120) = P(Y < 120 / n ) ≈ P( Z < n  n (120 / n − 2.5 ) 2  ) = .1. So, we have that  n (120 / n − 2.5 ) 2  = –z.10 = –1.282.

Thus, we can write the conditional density of T given W = w as 2 f ( t | w ) = 12 π wν e − wt /( 2 ν ) , − ∞ < t < ∞ . b.

To find this conditional density of F, note that the mgf for W1 is mW1 (t ) = (1 − 2t ) − ν1 / 2 .  The mgf for F = W1/c is mF (t ) = mW1 (t / c ) = (1 − 2t / c ) − ν1 / 2 .  Since this mgf is in the form of a gamma mgf, the conditional density of F, conditioned that W2 = w2, is gamma with shape parameter ν1 and scale parameter 2ν2/(w2ν1). b.

Since the limiting mgf is the mgf of the standard normal distribution, by Theorem 7.5 the result is proven. 7.101 Using the result in Ex. 7.100, −100 P( X ≤ 110) ≈ P( Z ≤ 110100 ) = P( Z ≤ 1) = .8413. 7.102 Again use the result in Ex. 7.101, P(Y ≥ 45) ≈ P( Z ≥  45−36 36  ) = P( Z ≥ 1.5) = .0668.  7.103 Following the result in Ex. 7.101, and that X and Y are independent, the quantity X − Y − (λ1 − λ 2 ) λ1 + λ 2 has a limiting standard normal distribution (see Ex. 7.58 as applied to the Poisson). Therefore, the approximation is P( X − Y > 10) ≈ P( Z > 1) = .1587. 7.104 The mgf for Yn is given by  [  ]  n  mYn (t ) = 1 − p + pe t .

As n → ∞, this is exp(λe t − 1) , the mgf for the Poisson with mean λ. 7.105 Let Y = # of people that suffer an adverse reaction. Then, Y is binomial with n = 1000 and p = .001.

Note that MSE(θˆ ) = V (θˆ ) + B( θˆ ) = V (θˆ ) + [( a − 1)θ + b]2 . A sufficiently large value of a will force MSE(θˆ * ) < MSE( θˆ ) . Example: a = 10. c.

V (θˆ 3 ) = a 2V ( θˆ 1 ) + (1 − a ) 2V ( θˆ 2 ) = a 2 σ12 + (1 − a )σ 22 , since it was assumed that θ̂1 and θ̂ are independent. To minimize V (θˆ ) , we can take the first derivative (with 2  3  respect to a), set it equal to zero, to find σ 22 . σ12 + σ 22 (One should verify that the second derivative test shows that this is indeed a minimum.)  a=  8.7  Following Ex. 8.6 but with the condition that θ̂1 and θ̂2 are not independent, we find V (θˆ ) = a 2 σ 2 + (1 − a )σ 2 + 2a (1 − a )c . 3  1  2  Using the same method w/ derivatives, the minimum is found to be σ2 − c . a= 2 2 2 σ 1 + σ 2 − 2c 158  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 8: Estimation  159 Instructor's Solutions Manual  8.8  a. Note that θ̂1 , θ̂2 , θ̂3 and θ̂5 are simple linear combinations of Y1, Y2, and Y3. So, it is easily shown that all four of these estimators are unbiased. From Ex. 6.81 it was shown that θ̂4 has an exponential distribution with mean θ/3, so this estimator is biased. b. It is easily shown that V( θ̂1 ) = θ2, V( θ̂2 ) = θ2/2, V( θ̂3 ) = 5θ2/9, and V( θ̂5 ) = θ2/9, so  the estimator θ̂5 is unbiased and has the smallest variance. 8.9  The density is in the form of the exponential with mean θ + 1. We know that Y is unbiased for the mean θ + 1, so an unbiased estimator for θ is simply Y – 1.  8.10  a. For the Poisson distribution, E(Y) = λ and so for the random sample, E(Y ) = λ. Thus, the estimator λ̂ = Y is unbiased. b. The result follows from E(Y) = λ and E(Y2) = V(Y) + λ2 = 2λ2, so E(C) = 4λ + λ2. c. Since E(Y ) = λ and E( Y 2 ) = V(Y ) + [E(Y )]2 = λ2/n + λ2 = λ2 (1 + 1 / n ) . Then, we can construct an unbiased estimator θˆ = Y 2 + Y (4 − 1 / n ) .  8.11  The third central moment is defined as E[(Y − μ ) 3 ] = E[(Y − 3) 3 ] = E (Y 3 ) − 9 E (Y 2 ) + 54 . Using the unbiased estimates θ̂2 and θ̂3 , it can easily be shown that θ̂3 – 9 θ̂2 + 54 is an unbiased estimator.  8.12  a. For the uniform distribution given here, E(Yi) = θ + .5. Hence, E(Y ) = θ + .5 so that B(Y ) = .5. b. Based on Y , the unbiased estimator is Y – .5. c. Note that V (Y ) = 1 /(12n ) so MSE(Y ) = 1 /(12n ) + .25 .  8.13  a. For a random variable Y with the binomial distribution, E(Y) = np and V(Y) = npq, so E(Y2) = npq + (np)2. Thus,  E{n (Yn )[1 − Yn ]} = E (Y ) − 1n E (Y 2 ) = np − pq − np 2 = ( n − 1) pq . b. The unbiased estimator should have expected value npq, so consider the estimator θˆ = ( nn−1 )n ( Yn )[1 − Yn ] .  www.elsolucionario.net 160  Chapter 8: Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  8.14  Using standard techniques, it can be shown that E(Y) = ( αα+1 )θ , E(Y2) = ( αα+ 2 )θ 2 . Also, it is easily shown that Y(n) follows the power family with parameters nα and θ. a. From the above, E (θˆ ) = E (Y( n ) ) = ( nnαα+1 )θ , so that the estimator is biased. b. Since α is known, the unbiased estimator is ( nα+1 )θˆ = ( nα+1 )Y . nα  nα  (n)  c. MSE (Y( n ) ) = E[(Y( n ) − θ) 2 ] = E (Y( 2n ) ) − 2θE (Y( n ) ) + θ 2 = ( nα+1)(2 nα+ 2 ) θ 2 . 8.15  Using standard techniques, it can be shown that E(Y) =(3/2)β, E(Y2) = 3β2. Also it is easiliy shown that Y(1) follows the Pareto family with density function g (1) ( y ) = 3nβ 3n y − ( 3n +1) , y ≥ β. Thus, E(Y(1)) = ( 33nn−1 )β and E (Y(12) ) = 3n3−n 2 β 2 . a. With βˆ = Y(1) , B(βˆ ) = ( 33nn−1 )β − β = ( 3n1−1 )β . b. Using the above, MSE (βˆ ) = MSE (Y(1) ) = E (Y(12) ) − 2β E (Y(1) ) + β 2 =  8.16  2 ( 3 n −1)( 3 n − 2 )  β2 .

The estimator σˆ =  n −1Γ[( n −1) / 2 ] 2Γ ( n / 2 )  S is unbiased for σ.  c. Since E(Y ) = μ, the unbiased estimator of the quantity is Y − z α σˆ . 8.17  It is given that p̂1 is unbiased, and since E(Y) = np, E( p̂2 ) = (np + 1)/(n+2). a. B( p̂2 ) = (np + 1)/(n+2) – p = (1–2p)/(n+2). b. Since p̂1 is unbiased, MSE( p̂1 ) = V( p̂1 ) = p(1–p)/n. MSE( p̂2 ) = V( p̂2 ) + B( p̂2 ) = np (1− p )+ (1− 2 p ) 2 ( n + 2 )2  .  c. Considering the inequality np (1− p ) + (1− 2 p ) 2 ( n + 2 )2  <  p (1− p ) n  ,  this can be written as (8n + 4) p 2 − (8n + 4) p + n < 0 . Solving for p using the quadratic formula, we have p = 8 n + 4±  ( 8 n + 4 )2 − 4 ( 8 n + 4 ) n 2(8 n+ 4 )  = 12 ±  n +1 8 n+ 4  .  So, p will be close to .5. 8.18  Using standard techniques from Chapter 6, is can be shown that the density function for Y(1) is given by  (  g (1) ( y ) = θn 1 −  So, E(Y(1)) =  θ n +1  )  y n −1 θ  , 0 ≤ y ≤ θ.  and so an unbiased estimator for θ is (n+1)Y(1).  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 8: Estimation  161 Instructor's Solutions Manual  8.19  From the hint, we know that E(Y(1)) = β/n so that θ̂ = nY(1) is unbiased for β. Then, MSE( θ̂ ) = V( θ̂ ) + B( θ̂ ) = V(nY(1)) = n2V(Y(1)) = β2.  8.20  If Y has an exponential distribution with mean θ, then by Ex. 4.11, E ( Y ) = πθ / 2 . a. Since Y1 and Y2 are independent, E(X) = πθ/4 so that (4/π)X is unbiased for θ. b. Following part a, it is easily seen that E(W) = π2θ2/16, so (42/π2)W is unbiased for θ2.  8.21  Using Table 8.1, we can estimate the population mean by y = 11.5 and use a two– standard–error bound of 2(3.5)/ 50 = .99. Thus, we have 11.5 ± .99.  8.22  (Similar to Ex. 8.21) The point estimate is y = 7.2% and a bound on the error of estimation is 2(5.6)/ 200 = .79%.  8.23  a.

Constructing this as an interval, this is (.66, .72). We can say that there is little doubt that the true (population) proportion falls in this interval. Note that the value 50% is far from the interval, so it is clear that a majority did feel that the cost of gasoline was a problem.  8.25  We estimate the difference to be 2.4 – 3.1 = –.7 with an error bound of 2  8.26  a. The estimate of the true population proportion who think humans should be sent to  Mars is .49 with an error bound of 2 b.

Since this represents a clear majority for the candidate, it appears certain that the republican will be elected. Following Example 8.2, we can be reasonably confident by this statement. c. The group of "likely voters" is not necessarily the same as "definite voters."  www.elsolucionario.net 162  Chapter 8: Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  8.28  The point estimate is given by the difference of the sample proportions: .70 – .54 = .16  8.29  (.3 ) (.46 ) + .54100 = .121. and an error bound is 2 .7180 a.

The above can be expressed as the interval (–.06 – .045, –.06 + .045) or (–.105, –.015). Since the value 0 is not contained in the interval, it seems reasonable to claim that fan support for baseball is greater at the end of the season. 8.30  (.55 ) The point estimate is .45 and an error bound is 2 .451001 = .031. Since 10% is roughly three times the two–standard–error bound, it is not likely (assuming the sample was indeed a randomly selected sample).  8.31  a.

The above can be expressed as the interval (–.071, .011). Note that the value zero is contained in the interval, so there is reason to believe that the two pain relievers offer the same relief potential. 8.32  With n = 20, the sample mean amount y = 197.1 and the standard deviation s = 90.86. •  The total accounts receivable is estimated to be 500( y ) = 500(197.1) = 98,550. The standard deviation of this estimate is found by V (500Y ) = 500  σ 20  . So, this  can be estimated by 500(90.86)/ 20 = 10158.45 and an error bound is given by 2(10158.46) = 20316.9. •  8.33  With y = 197.1, an error bound is 2(90.86)/ 20 = 40.63. Expressed as an interval, this is (197.1 – 40.63, 197.1 + 40.63) or (156.47, 237.73). So, it is unlikely that the average amount exceeds $250.  The point estimate is 6/20 = .3 and an error bound is 2  .3(.7 ) 20  = .205. If 80% comply, and  20% fail to comply. This value lies within our error bound of the point estimate, so it is likely. 8.34  An unbiased estimator of λ is Y , and since V (Y ) = λ / n , an unbiased estimator of the standard error of is Y / n .  8.35  Using the result of Ex. 8.34: a.

The value Y + 1.645 is the 95% upper limit for μ since P(Y − μ ≤ 1.645) = P(μ ≤ Y + 1.645) = .95 . c. Similarly, Y – 1.645 is the 95% lower limit for μ.  8.41  Using Table 6 with 1 degree of freedom: a. .95 = P(.0009821 ≤ Y 2 / σ 2 ≤ 5.02389 ) = P(Y 2 / 5.02389 ≤ σ 2 ≤ Y 2 / .0009821) . b. .95 = P(.0039321 ≤ Y 2 / σ 2 ) = P(σ 2 ≤ Y 2 / .0039321) . c. .95 = P(Y 2 / σ 2 ≤ 3.84146 ) = P(Y 2 / 3.84146 ≤ σ 2 ) .  8.42  Using the results from Ex. 8.41, the square–roots of the boundaries can be taken to obtain interval estimates σ: a.

Since this distribution does not depend on θ, U = Y/θ is a pivotal quantity. c. Set P(U ≤ a) = FY(a) = 2a(1 – a) = .9 so that the quadratic expression is solved at a = 1 – .10 = .6838 and then the 90% lower bound for θ is Y/.6838. 8.45  Following Ex. 8.44, set P(U ≥ b) = 1 – FY(b) = 1 – 2b(1 – b) = .9, thus b = 1 – .05132 and then the 90% upper bound for θ is Y/.05132.  .9 =  8.46  Let U = 2Y/θ and let mY(t) denote the mgf for the exponential distribution with mean θ. Then: a. mU (t ) = E ( e tU ) = E ( e t 2Y / θ ) = mY ( 2t / θ) = (1 − 2t ) −1 . This is the mgf for the chi–square distribution with one degree of freedom. Thus, U has this distribution, and since the distribution does not depend on θ, U is a pivotal quantity. b. Using Table 6 with 2 degrees of freedom, we have P (.102587 ≤ 2Y / θ ≤ 5.99147 ) = .90 . 2Y 2Y So, (5.99147 , .102587 ) represents a 90% CI for θ. c.

Written as an interval, the above is (98.085, 98.415). So, the "normal" body temperature measurement of 98.6 degrees is not contained in the interval. It is possible that the standard for "normal" is no longer valid.

Assuming that a 95% CI was calculated, a value of p = .5 gives the margin of error 3.1%.  8.64  a. The point estimates are .35 (sample proportion of 18-34 year olds who consider themselves patriotic) and .77 (sample proportion of 60+ year olds who consider themselves patriotic.

Since the interval contains both positive and negative values, it is likely that the two assembly lines produce the same proportion of defectives. 8.66  a. With z.05 = 1.645, the 90% CI for the mean posttest score for all BACC students is .03 18.5 ± 1.645 8365 or 18.5 ± .82 or (17.68, 19.32).  ( )  b. With z.025 = 1.96, the 95% CI for the difference in the mean posttest scores for BACC  and traditionally taught students is (18.5 − 16.5) ± 1.96  ( 8.03 ) 2 365  +  ( 6.96 ) 2 298  or 2.0 ± 1.14.  c. Since 0 is outside of the interval, there is evidence that the mean posttest scores are different. 8.67  a. The 95% CI is 7.2 ± 1.96  8.8 60  or 7.2 ± .75 or (6.45, 7.95).  www.elsolucionario.net 168  Chapter 8: Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  b. The 90% CI for the difference in the mean densities is (7.2 − 4.7) ± 1.645  8.8 60  +  4.9 90  or  2.5 ± .74 or (1.76, 3.24). c. Presumably, the population is ship sightings for all summer and winter months. It is quite possible that the days used in the sample were not randomly selected (the months were chosen in the same year.)  8.68  a. Recall that for the multinomial, V(Yi) = npiqi and Cov(Yi,Yj) = – npipj for i ≠ j. Hence, V (Y1 − Y2 ) = V (Y1 ) + V (Y2 ) − 2Cov(Y1 ,Y2 ) = np1q1 + np 2 q2 + 2np1 p2 . b. Since pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 = Y1 −nY2 , using the result in part a we have  (  )  V ( pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 ) = 1n p1q1 + p2 q2 + 2 p1 p2 . Thus, an approximate 95% CI is given by pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 ± 1.96  ( pˆ qˆ  1 n  1 1  + pˆ 2 qˆ 2 + 2 pˆ 1 pˆ 2  )  Using the supplied data, this is 1 (.06(.94) + .16(.84) + 2(.06)(.16) ) = –.10 ± .04 or (–.14, –.06). .06 − .16 ± 1.96 500 8.69  For the independent counts Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4, the sample proportions are pˆ i = Yi / ni and V ( pˆ i ) = pi qi / ni for i = 1, 2, 3, 4. The interval of interest can be constructed as ( pˆ 3 − pˆ 1 ) − ( pˆ 4 − pˆ 2 ) ± 1.96 V [( pˆ 3 − pˆ 1 ) − ( pˆ 4 − pˆ 2 )] . By independence, this is ( pˆ 3 − pˆ 1 ) − ( pˆ 4 − pˆ 2 ) ± 1.96 Using the sample data, this is (.69 − .65) − (.25 − .43) ± 1.96  1 500  1 n  [ pˆ 3 qˆ 3 + pˆ 1qˆ1 + pˆ 4 qˆ 4 + pˆ 2 qˆ 2 ] .  [.65(.35) + .43(.57) + .69(.31) + .25(.75)  or .22 ± .34 or (–.12, .56) 8.70  As with Example 8.9, we must solve the equation 1.96  pq n  = B for n.  a. With p = .9 and B = .05, n = 139. b. If p is unknown, use p = .5 so n = 385. 8.71  With B = 2, σ = 10, n = 4σ2/B2, so n = 100.  8.72  a. Since the true proportions are unknown, use .5 for both to compute an error bound (here, we will use a multiple of 1.96 that correlates to a 95% CI): 1.96  .5(.5 ) 1000  +  .5(.5 ) 1000  = .044.  b. Assuming that the two sample sizes are equal, solve the relation 1.645  so n = 3383.  .5(.5 ) n  +  .5(.5 ) n  = .02 ,  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 8: Estimation  169 Instructor's Solutions Manual  8.73  From the previous sample, the proportion of 'tweens who understand and enjoy ads that are silly in nature is .78. Using this as an estimate of p, we estimate the sample size as 2.576  .78 (.22 ) n  = .02 or n = 2847.  8.74  With B = .1 and σ = .5, n = (1.96)2σ2/B2, so n = 97. If all of the specimens were selected from a single rainfall, the observations would not be independent.  8.75  Here, 1.645  σ12 n1  +  σ 22 n2  = .1 , but σ12 = σ 22 = .25, n1 = n2 = n, so sample n = 136 from each  location. 8.76  For n1 = n2 = n and by using the estimates of population variances given in Ex. 8.61, we can solve 1.645  ( 24.3 ) 2 + (17.6 ) 2 n  = 5 so that n = 98 adults must be selected from each region. .7 (.3 )+.54 (.46 ) n  8.77  Using the estimates pˆ 1 = .7, pˆ 2 = .54 , the relation is 1.645  8.78  Here, we will use the estimates of the true proportions of defectives from Ex. 8.65. So, with a bound B = (.2)/2 = .1, the relation is 1.96  8.79  .18 (.82 ) +.12 (.88 ) n  = .05 so n = 497.  = .1 so n = 98.  a. Here, we will use the estimates of the population variances for the two groups of students:  2.576  ( 8.03 )2 n  +  ( 6.96 )2 n  = .5 ,  so n = 2998 students from each group should be sampled. b. For comparing the mean pretest scores, s1 = 5.59, s2 = 5.45 so 2.576  ( 5.59 ) 2 n  +  ( 5.45 ) 2 n  = .5  and thus n = 1618 students from each group should be sampled. c. If it is required that all four sample sizes must be equal, use n = 2998 (from part a) to assure an interval width of 1 unit. 8.80  The 95% CI, based on a t–distribution with 21 – 1 = 20 degrees of freedom, is 26.6 ± 2.086 7.4 / 21 = 26.6 ± 3.37 or (23.23, 29.97).  8.81  The sample statistics are y = 60.8, s = 7.97. So, the 95% CI is  (  )  (  )  60.8 ± 2.262 7.97 / 10 = 60.8 ± 5.70 or (55.1, 66.5). 8.82  a. The 90% CI for the mean verbal SAT score for urban high school seniors is 505 ± 1.729 57 / 20 = 505 ± 22.04 or (482.96, 527.04). b. Since the interval includes the score 508, it is a plausible value for the mean.  (  )  c. The 90% CI for the mean math SAT score for urban high school seniors is  www.elsolucionario.net 170  Chapter 8: Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  (  )  495 ± 1.729 69 / 20 = 495 ± 26.68 or (468.32, 521.68). The interval does include the score 520, so the interval supports the stated true mean value. 8.83  a. Using the sample–sample CI for μ1 – μ2, using an assumption of normality, we calculate the pooled sample variance 2 2 s 2p = 9( 3.92 ) 18+9( 3.98 ) = 15.6034  Thus, the 95% CI for the difference in mean compartment pressures is 14.5–11.1 ± 2.101 15.6034(101 + 101 ) = 3.4 ± 3.7 or (–.3, 7.1). b. Similar to part a, the pooled sample variance for runners and cyclists who exercise at 80% maximal oxygen consumption is given by 2 2 s 2p = 9( 3.49 ) 18+ 9( 4.95 ) = 18.3413 .  The 90% CI for the difference in mean compartment pressures here is 12.2–11.5 ± 1.734 18.3413(101 + 101 ) = .7 ± 3.32 or (–2.62, 4.02). c. Since both intervals contain 0, we cannot conclude that the means in either case are different from one another.  8.84  The sample statistics are y = 3.781, s = .0327. So, the 95% CI, with 9 degrees of freedom and t.025 = 2.262, is 3.781 ± 2.262 .0327 / 10 = 3.781 ± .129 or (3.652, 3.910).  (  8.85  )  2  2  The pooled sample variance is s 2p = 15( 6 ) 34+19(8 ) = 51.647 . Then the 95% CI for μ1 – μ2 is 11 − 12 ± 1.96 51.647(161 +  1 20  )  = –1 ± 4.72 or (–5.72, 3.72)  (here, we approximate t.025 with z.025 = 1.96). 8.86  a. The sample statistics are, with n = 14, y = 0.896, s = .400. The 95% CI for μ = mean price of light tuna in water, with 13 degrees of freedom and t.025 = 2.16 is .896 ± 2.16 .4 / 14 = .896 ± .231 or (.665, 1.127).  (  )  b. The sample statistics are, with n = 11, y = 1.147, s = .679. The 95% CI for μ = mean price of light tuna in oil, with 10 degrees of freedom and t.025 = 2.228 is 1.147 ± 2.228 .679 / 11 = 1.147 ± .456 or (.691, 1.603).  (  )  This CI has a larger width because: s is larger, n is smaller, tα/2 is bigger. 8.87  2  2  a. Following Ex. 8.86, the pooled sample variance is s 2p = 13(.4 ) +2310(.679 ) = .291 . Then the 90% CI for μ1 – μ2, with 23 degrees of freedom and t.05 = 1.714 is  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 8: Estimation  171 Instructor's Solutions Manual  (.896 − 1.147) ± 1.714 .291(141 + 111 ) = –.251 ± .373 or (–.624, .122). b. Based on the above interval, there is not compelling evidence that the mean prices are different since 0 is contained inside the interval. 8.88  The sample statistics are, with n = 12, y = 9, s = 6.4. The 90% CI for μ = mean LC50 for DDT is, with 11 degrees of freedom and t.05 = 1.796, 9 ± 1.796 6.4 / 12 = 9 ± 3.32 or (5.68, 12.32).  (  8.89  )  a. For the three LC50 measurements of Diazinon, y = 3.57, s = 3.67. The 90% CI for the true mean is (2.62, 9.76). 2  2  b. The pooled sample variance is s 2p = 11( 6.4 ) 13+ 2( 3.57 ) = 36.6 . Then the 90% CI for the difference in mean LC50 chemicals, with 15 degrees of freedom and t.025 = 1.771, is (9 − 3.57) ± 1.771 36.6(121 + 13 ) = 5.43 ± 6.92 or (–1.49, 12.35).  We assumed that the sample measurements were independently drawn from normal populations with σ1 = σ2. 8.90  a. For the 95% CI for the difference in mean verbal scores, the pooled sample variance is 2 2 s 2p = 14 ( 42 ) 28+14 ( 45 ) = 1894.5 and thus  446 – 534 ± 2.048 1894 .5(152 ) = –88 ± 32.55 or (–120.55, –55.45).  b. For the 95% CI for the difference in mean math scores, the pooled sample variance is 2 2 s 2p = 14( 57 ) 28+14 ( 52 ) = 2976 .5 and thus  548 – 517 ± 2.048 2976.5(152 ) = 31 ± 40.80 or (–9.80, 71.80).  c. At the 95% confidence level, there appears to be a difference in the two mean verbal SAT scores achieved by the two groups. However, a difference is not seen in the math SAT scores. d.

It is assumed that the two random samples were independently drawn from normal populations with equal variances. 8.92  Using the summary statistics, the pooled sample variance is s 2p = so the 95% CI is given by .22 – .17 ± 2.365 .0016( 14 +  8.93  1 5  )  3(.001) + 4 (.002 ) 7  = .0016 and  = .05 ± .063 or (–.013, .113).  a. Since the two random samples are assumed to be independent and normally distributed, the quantity 2 X + Y is normally distributed with mean 2μ1 + μ2 and variance ( n4 + m3 )σ 2 . Thus, is σ2 is known, then 2 X + Y ± 1.96 σ n4 + m3 is a 95% CI for 2μ1 + μ2. b. Recall that (1 / σ 2 )∑i =1 ( X i − X ) 2 has a chi–square distribution with n – 1 degrees of n  freedom. Thus, [1 /( 3σ 2 )]∑i =1 (Yi − Y ) 2 is chi–square with m – 1 degrees of freedom and m  the sum of these is chi–square with n + m – 2 degrees of freedom. Then, by using Definition 7.2, the quantity 2 X + Y − ( 2μ1 + μ 2 ) T= , where σˆ 4n + m3  σˆ  2  ∑ =  n  i =1  ( X i − X )2 +  The pivotal quantity is T =  Y1 − Y2 − (μ1 − μ 2 ) Sp  ∑  m  i =1  (Yi − Y ) 2  n+m−2  Then, the 95% CI is given by 2 X + Y ± t.025 σˆ 8.94  1 3  1 n1  +  1 n2  4 n  +  3 m  .  .  , which has a t–distribution w/ n1 + n2 – 2  degrees of freedom. By selecting tα from this distribution, we have that P(T < tα) = 1 – α. Using the same approach to derive the confidence interval, it is found that Y1 − Y2 ± t α S p n11 + n12 is a 100(1 – α)% upper confidence bound for μ1 – μ2. 8.95  From the sample data, n = 6 and s2 = .503. Then, χ.295 = 1.145476 and χ.205 = 11.0705 with 5 degrees of freedom.

Since this is an upper bound, it is possible that the true population standard deviation is less than 150 hours. 8.101 With n = 6, the sample variance s2 = .0286.

In addition the statistic U = Y / β is a pivotal quantity since the distribution is free of β: the distribution of U is gamma with shape parameter 100c0 and scale parameter (.01). Now, E(U) = c0 and V(U) = (.01)c0 and by the Central Limit Theorem, U − c0 Y / β − c0 = .1 c 0 .1 c0 has an approximate standard normal distribution. Thus, ⎛ ⎞ Y / β − c0 < zα / 2 ⎟ ≈ 1 − α .

By considering the ratio of these two MSEs, it can be seen that S ′ has the smaller MSE and thus possibly a better estimator. 2  8.131 Define the estimator σˆ 2 = c ∑i =1 (Yi − Y ) 2 . Therefore, E( σ̂ 2 ) = c(n – 1)σ2 and n  V( σ̂ 2 ) = 2c2(n – 1)σ4 so that MSE( σ̂ 2 ) = 2c2(n – 1)σ4 + [c(n – 1)σ2 – σ2]2.

Thus, σ̂ 22 is not a consistent estimator.  9.17  In Example 9.2, it was shown that both X and Y are consistent estimators of μ1 and μ2, respectively. Using Theorem 9.2, X – Y is a consistent estimator of μ1 – μ2.  9.18  Note that this estimator is the pooled sample variance estimator S p2 with n1 = n2 = n. In Ex. 8.133 it was shown that S p2 is an unbiased estimator. Also, it was shown that the variance of S p2 is  2σ 4 σ4 .

Since k = n/2, V( σ̂ 2 ) goes to 0 with n and σ̂ 2 is a consistent estimator.  9.22  Following Ex. 9.21, we have that the estimator λ̂ can be written as (Y − Yn−1 ) 2 ⎤ 1 ⎡ (Y − Y1 ) 2 (Y4 − Y3 ) 2 (Y6 − Y5 ) 2 λˆ = ⎢ 2 + + +…+ n ⎥. k⎣ 2 2 2 2 ⎦ For Yi, Yi–1, we have that: E[(Yi − Yi −1 ) 2 ] E (Yi 2 ) − 2 E (Yi ) E (Yi −1 ) + E (Yi −21 ) (λ + λ2 ) − 2λ2 + (λ + λ2 ) = = =λ 2 2 2 V [(Yi − Yi −1 ) 2 ] V (Yi 2 ) + V (Yi −21 ) 2λ + 12λ2 + 8λ3 < = = γ , since Yi and Yi–1 are 4 4 4 independent and non–negative (the calculation can be performed using the Poisson mgf). a. From the above, E( λ̂ ) = (kλ)/k = λ. So λ̂ is an unbiased estimator of λ. b. Similarly, V( λ̂ ) < kγ/k2, where γ < ∞ is defined above. Since k = n/2, V( λ̂ ) goes to 0 with n and λ̂ is a consistent estimator.  9.23  a. Note that for i = 1, 2, …, k, E (Y2i − Y2i −1 ) = 0  V (Y2i − Y2i −1 ) = 2σ 2 = E[(Y2i − Y2i −1 ) 2 .  Thus, it follows from methods used in Ex. 9.23 that σ̂ 2 is an unbiased estimator. k 1 1 V [(Y2i − Y2i −1 ) 2 ] = V [(Y2 − Y1 ) 2 ] , since the Y's are independent and 2 ∑i =1 4k 4k identically distributed. Now, it is clear that V [(Y2 − Y1 ) 2 ] ≤ E[(Y2 − Y1 ) 4 ] , and when this quantity is expanded, only moments of order 4 or less are involved. Since these were 1 assumed to be finite, E[(Y2 − Y1 ) 4 ] < ∞ and so V (σˆ 2 ) = V [(Y2 − Y1 ) 2 ] → 0 as n → ∞. 4k  b. V (σˆ 2 ) =  c.

Since  = 0 for ε > 0, Y(1) is consistent.  P(| Y(1) − θ |≤ ε) = P( θ − ε ≤ Y(1) ≤ θ + ε ) = F(1) (θ + ε) − F(1) (θ − ε) = 1 − ( θ−θ ε ) . Since αn  lim n→∞ ( θθ−ε ) = 0 for ε > 0, Y(1) is consistent. αn  9.30  Note that Y is beta with μ = 3/4 and σ2 = 3/5. Thus, E(Y ) = 3/4 and V(Y ) = 3/(5n). Thus, V(Y ) → 0 and Y converges in probability to 3/4.  9.31  Since Y is a mean of independent and identically distributed random variables with finite variance, Y is consistent and Y converges in probability to E(Y ) = E(Y) = αβ. ∞  9.32  9.33  ∞  2 Notice that E (Y ) = ∫ y 2 dy = ∫ 2dy = ∞ , thus V(Y) = ∞ and so the law of large y 2 2 numbers does not apply. 2  2  By the law of large numbers, X and Y are consistent estimators of λ1 and λ2. By Theorem 9.2, XX+Y converges in probability to λ1λ+1λ 2 . This implies that observed values of the estimator should be close to the limiting value for large sample sizes, although the variance of this estimator should also be taken into consideration.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 9: Properties of Point Estimators and Methods of Estimation  185 Instructor's Solutions Manual  9.34  Following Ex. 6.34, Y2 has an exponential distribution with parameter θ.

Since the density for U is complete, g1(U) – g2(U) ≡ 0 by definition so that g1(U) = g2(U). Therefore, there is only one unbiased estimator for θ based on U, and it must also be the MVUE.  9.69  It is easy to show that μ =  θ+1 θ+ 2  so that θ =  2 μ −1 1−μ  . Thus, the MOM estimator is θˆ =  2Y −1 1−Y  .  Since Y is a consistent estimator of μ, by the Law of Large Numbers θ̂ converges in probability to θ. However, this estimator is not a function of the sufficient statistic so it can't be the MVUE. 9.70  Since μ = λ, the MOM estimator of λ is λˆ = m1′ = Y .  9.71  Since E(Y) = μ1′ = 0 and E(Y2) = μ′2 = V(Y) = σ2, we have that σˆ 2 = m2′ =  1 n  ∑  n  Y 2.  i =1 i  www.elsolucionario.net 192  Chapter 9: Properties of Point Estimators and Methods of Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  9.72  Here, we have that μ1′ = μ and μ′2 = σ2 + μ2. Thus, μˆ = m1′ = Y and σˆ 2 = m2′ − Y 2 = 1 n  ∑  n  Y2 −Y 2 =  i =1 i  1 n  ∑  2  i =1  (Yi − Y ) 2 .  9.73  Note that our sole observation Y is hypergeometric such that E(Y) = nθ/N. Thus, the MOM estimator of θ is θˆ = NY / n .  9.74  a. First, calculate μ1′ = E(Y) = ∫ 2 y ( θ − y ) / θ 2 dy = θ/3. Thus, the MOM estimator of θ is  θ  0  θˆ = 3Y .  b. The likelihood is L(θ) = 2 n θ −2 n ∏i =1 (θ − yi ) . Clearly, the likelihood can't be factored n  into a function that only depends on Y , so the MOM is not a sufficient statistic for θ.  9.75  The density given is a beta density with α = β = θ. Thus, μ1′ = E(Y) = .5. Since this doesn't depend on θ, we turn to μ′2 = E (Y 2 ) = 2( θ2+θ1+1) (see Ex. 4.200). Hence, with  m2′ =  1 n  ∑  n  ′ Y 2 , the MOM estimator of θ is θˆ = 14−m22′m−21 .  i =1 i  9.76  Note that μ1′ = E(Y) = 1/p. Thus, the MOM estimator of p is pˆ = 1 / Y .  9.77  Here, μ1′ = E(Y) = 23 θ . So, the MOM estimator of θ is θˆ = 23 Y .  9.78  For Y following the given power family distribution, 3  E (Y ) = ∫ αy α 3−α dy = α3−α  y α +1 α +1  0  Thus, the MOM estimator of θ is θˆ = 9.79  Y 3−Y  3 0  =  3α α +1  .  .  For Y following the given Pareto distribution, ∞  E (Y ) = ∫ αβ α y −α dy = αβ α −y α+1 β  − α +1  ∞ β  = αβ /( α − 1) .  The mean is not defined if α < 1. Thus, a generalized MOM estimator for α cannot be expressed. 9.80  a. The MLE is easily found to be λˆ = Y . b. E( λ̂ ) = λ, V( λ̂ ) = λ/n. c. Since λ̂ is unbiased and has a variance that goes to 0 with increasing n, it is consistent. d. By the invariance property, the MLE for P(Y = 0) is exp(– λ̂ ).  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 9: Properties of Point Estimators and Methods of Estimation  193 Instructor's Solutions Manual  9.81  The MLE is θ̂ = Y . By the invariance property of MLEs, the MLE of θ2 is Y 2 .  9.82  The likelihood function is L(θ) = θ−n r n  (∏ y )  r −1  n  i =1  i  a. By Theorem 9.4, a sufficient statistic for θ is  (  )  exp − ∑i=1 yir / θ .  ∑  n  n  Yr .  i =1 i  b.

Note that θ̂ is a function of the sufficient statistic. Since it is easily shown that E (Y r ) = θ , θ̂ is then unbiased and the MVUE for θ. 9.83  a. The likelihood function is L(θ) = ( 2θ + 1) − n . Let γ = γ(θ)= 2θ + 1. Then, the  likelihood can be expressed as L( γ ) = γ − n . The likelihood is maximized for small values of γ. The smallest value that can safely maximize the likelihood (see Example 9.16) without violating the support is γˆ = Y( n ) . Thus, by the invariance property of MLEs, θˆ = 1 (Y − 1). (n)  2  b. Since V(Y) = 9.84  ( 2 θ+1) 2 12  . By the invariance principle, the MLE is (Y( n ) ) / 12. 2  This exercise is a special case of Ex. 9.85, so we will refer to those results. a. The MLE is θˆ = Y / 2 , so the maximum likelihood estimate is y / 2 = 63. b. E( θ̂ ) = θ, V( θ̂ ) = V( Y / 2 ) = θ2/6. c. The bound on the error of estimation is 2 V (θˆ ) = 2 (130 ) 2 / 6 = 106.14. d. Note that V(Y) = 2θ2 = 2(130)2. Thus, the MLE for V(Y) = 2(θˆ ) 2 .  9.85  a. For α > 0 known the likelihood function is α −1 n n 1 L(θ) = y exp − ∑i =1 yi / θ . ∏ i n nα i =1 [ Γ(α)] θ The log–likelihood is then  (  (  )  (  )  )  ln L(θ) = − n ln[Γ(α)] − nα ln θ + ( α − 1) ln ∏i =1 yi − ∑i =1 yi / θ n  n  so that d dθ  ln L( θ) = − nα / θ + ∑i =1 yi / θ 2 . n  Equating this to 0 and solving for θ, we find the MLE of θ to be n θˆ = 1 Y = 1Y . nα  ∑  i =1 i  α  b. Since E(Y) = αθ and V(Y) = αθ2, E( θ̂ ) = θ, V( θ̂ ) = θ 2 /( nα) . c. Since Y is a consistent estimator of μ = αθ, it is clear that θ̂ must be consistent for θ.  www.elsolucionario.net 194  Chapter 9: Properties of Point Estimators and Methods of Estimation  Instructor's Solutions Manual  d. From the likelihood function, it is seen from Theorem 9.4 that U =  ∑  n  Y is a  i =1 i  sufficient statistic for θ. Since the gamma distribution is in the exponential family of distributions, U is also the minimal sufficient statistic. e. Note that U has a gamma distribution with shape parameter nα and scale parameter θ. The distribution of 2U/θ is chi–square with 2nα degrees of freedom. With n = 5, α = 2, 2U/θ is chi–square with 20 degrees of freedom.

Then, (Y1, Y2, Y3) is trinomial with parameters (p1, p2, p3) and sample size n. Thus, the likelihood L(p1, p2) is simply the probability mass function for the trinomial (recall that (p3 = 1– p1 – p2): y y L( p1 , p2 ) = n1!nn2!!n3 ! p1 1 p2 2 (1 − p1 − p2 ) y3 This can easily be jointly maximized with respect to p1 and p2 to obtain the MLEs pˆ 1 = Y1 / n , pˆ 2 = Y2 / n , and so pˆ 3 = Y3 / n . For the given data, we have p̂1 = .30, p̂2 = .38, and p̂3 = .32. Thus, the point estimate of p1 – p2 is .30 – .38 = –.08. From Theorem 5.13, we have that V(Yi) = npiqi and Cov(Yi,Yj) = – npipj. A two–standard–deviation error bound can be found by 2 V ( pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 ) = 2 V ( pˆ 1 ) + V ( pˆ 2 ) − 2Cov ( pˆ 1 , pˆ 2 ) = 2 p1 q1 / n + p2 q2 / n + 2 p1 p2 / n . This can be estimated by using the MLEs found above. By plugging in the estimates, error bound of .1641 is obtained.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 9: Properties of Point Estimators and Methods of Estimation  195 Instructor's Solutions Manual  9.88  The likelihood function is L(θ) = ( θ + 1) n  (∏ y ) . The MLE is θˆ = −n / ∑ θ  n  i =1  n  i =1  i  ln Yi . This  is a different estimator that the MOM estimator from Ex. 9.69, however note that the MLE is a function of the sufficient statistic. 9.89  Note that the likelihood is simply the mass function for Y: L( p ) =  ( )p 2 y  y  (1 − p ) 2− y . By  the ML criteria, we choose the value of p that maximizes the likelihood. If Y = 0, L(p) is maximized at p = .25. If Y = 2, L(p) is maximized at p = .75. But, if Y = 1, L(p) has the same value at both p = .25 and p = .75; that is, L(.25) = L(.75) for y = 1. Thus, for this instance the MLE is not unique. 9.90  Under the hypothesis that pW = pM = p, then Y = # of people in the sample who favor the issue is binomial with success probability p and n = 200. Thus, by Example 9.14, the MLE for p is pˆ = Y / n and the sample estimate is 55/200.  9.91  Refer to Ex. 9.83 and Example 9.16. Let γ = 2θ. Then, the MLE for γ is γˆ = Y( n ) and by the invariance principle the MLE for θ is θˆ = Y / 2 . (n )  9.92  a. Following the hint, the MLE of θ is θˆ = Y( n ) . b. From Ex. 9.63, f ( n ) ( y ) = 3ny 3n −1 / θ 3n , 0 ≤ y ≤ θ. The distribution of T = Y(n)/θ is  f T (t ) = 3nt 3n−1 , 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Since this distribution doesn't depend on θ, T is a pivotal quantity. c. (Similar to Ex. 8.132) Constants a and b can be found to satisfy P(a < T < b) = 1 – α such that P(T < a) = P(T > b) = α/2. Using the density function from part b, these are given by a = ( α / 2)1 /( 3n ) and b = (1 − α / 2)1 /( 3n ) . So, we have 1 – α = P(a < Y(n)/θ < b) = P (Y( n ) / b < θ < Y( n ) / a ) .

If the likelihood is maximized at θ̂ , then L( θ̂ ) ≥ L(θ) for all θ. Define β̂ = t( θ̂ ) and denote the likelihood as a function of β as L1(β) = L( t −1 (β) ). Then, for any β, L1 (β) = L(t −1 (β)) = L(θ) ≤ L(θˆ ) = L(t −1 (βˆ )) = L1 (βˆ ) . So, the MLE of β is β̂ and so the MLE of t(θ) is t( θ̂ ).  9.95  The quantity to be estimated is R = p/(1 – p). Since pˆ = Y / n is the MLE of p, by the invariance principle the MLE for R is Rˆ = pˆ /(1 − pˆ ).  9.96  From Ex. 9.15, the MLE for σ2 was found to be σˆ 2 = property, the MLE for σ is σˆ = σˆ 2 =  9.97  1 n  ∑  n  i =1  1 n  ∑  n  i =1  (Yi − Y ) 2 .

If the experimenter concludes that less than 80% of insomniacs respond to the drug when actually the drug induces sleep in 80% of insomniacs, a type I error has occurred. b. α = P(reject H0 | H0 true) = P(Y ≤ 12 | p = .8) = .032 (using Appendix III). c.

If it is concluded that the proportion of ledger sheets with errors is larger than .05, when actually the proportion is equal to .05, a type I error occurred. b. By the proposed scheme, H0 will be rejected under the following scenarios (let E = error, N = no error): Sheet 1 Sheet 2 Sheet 3 N N .

Similar to part c. 10.11 a. The error is failing to reject H0 (type II). b.-d. Answers vary. 10.12 Since β and α behave inversely to each other, the simulated value for β should be smaller for α = .10 than for α = .05. 10.13 The simulated values of β and α should be closer to the nominal levels specified in the simulation.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  203 Instructor's Solutions Manual  10.14 a. The smallest value for the test statistic is –.75. Therefore, since the RR is {z < –.84}, the null hypothesis will never be rejected. The value of n is far too small for this large– sample test. b.

Fail to reject H0 – not enough evidence to conclude the mean distance for breaststroke is larger than individual medley. e. The sample variances used in the test statistic were too large to be able to detect a difference. 10.18 H0: μ = 13.20, Ha: μ < 13.20. Using the large sample test for a mean, z = –2.53, and with α = .01, –z.01 = –2.326. So, H0 is rejected: there is evidence that the company is paying substandard wages. 10.19 H0: μ = 130, Ha: μ < 130. Using the large sample test for a mean, z =  128.6 −130 2.1 / 40  = – 4.22 and  with –z.05 = –1.645, H0 is rejected: there is evidence that the mean output voltage is less than 130. 10.20 H0: μ ≥ 64, Ha: μ < 64. Using the large sample test for a mean, z = –1.77, and w/ α = .01, –z.01 = –2.326. So, H0 is not rejected: there is not enough evidence to conclude the manufacturer's claim is false. 10.21 Using the large–sample test for two means, we obtain z = 3.65. With α = .01, the test rejects if |z| > 2.576. So, we can reject the hypothesis that the soils have equal mean shear strengths. 10.22 a. The mean pretest scores should probably be equal, so letting μ1 and μ2 denote the mean pretest scores for the two groups, H0: μ1 = μ2, Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2. b. This is a two–tailed alternative: reject if |z| > zα/2. c. With α = .01, z.005 = 2.576. The computed test statistic is z = 1.675, so we fail to reject H0: we cannot conclude the there is a difference in the pretest mean scores.  www.elsolucionario.net 204  Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  Instructor's Solutions Manual  10.23 a.-b. Let μ1 and μ2 denote the mean distances. Since there is no prior knowledge, we will perform the test H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 ≠ 0, which is a two–tailed test. c. The computed test statistic is z = –.954, which does not lead to a rejection with α = .10: there is not enough evidence to conclude the mean distances are different. 10.24 Let p = proportion of overweight children and adolescents. Then, H0: p = .15, Ha: p < .15 and the computed large sample test statistic for a proportion is z = –.56. This does not lead to a rejection at the α = .05 level. 10.25 Let p = proportion of adults who always vote in presidential elections. Then, H0: p = .67, Ha: p ≠ .67 and the large sample test statistic for a proportion is |z| = 1.105. With z.005 = 2.576, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected: there is not enough evidence to conclude the reported percentage is false. 10.26 Let p = proportion of Americans with brown eyes. Then, H0: p = .45, Ha: p ≠ .45 and the large sample test statistic for a proportion is z = –.90. We fail to reject H0. 10.27 Define:  p1 = proportion of English–fluent Riverside students p2 = proportion of English–fluent Palm Springs students. To test H0: p1 – p2 = 0, versus Ha: p1 – p2 ≠ 0, we can use the large–sample test statistic pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 . Z= p1q1 p2 q2 + n1 n2  However, this depends on the (unknown) values p1 and p2. Under H0, p1 = p2 = p (i.e. they are samples from the same binomial distribution), so we can "pool" the samples to estimate p: n pˆ + n 2 pˆ 2 Y1 + Y2 = . pˆ p = 1 1 n1 + n2 n1 + n 2 So, the test statistic becomes pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 . Z= pˆ p qˆ p n11 + n12  (  )  Here, the value of the test statistic is z = –.1202, so a significant difference cannot be supported. 10.28 a. (Similar to 10.27) Using the large–sample test derived in Ex. 10.27, the computed test statistic is z = –2.254. Using a two–sided alternative, z.025 = 1.96 and since |z| > 1.96, we can conclude there is a significant difference between the proportions. b. Advertisers should consider targeting females.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  205 Instructor's Solutions Manual  10.29 Note that color A is preferred over B and C if it has the highest probability of being purchased. Thus, let p = probability customer selects color A. To determine if A is preferred, consider the test H0: p = 1/3, Ha: p > 1/3. With p̂ = 400/1000 = .4, the test statistic is z = 4.472. This rejects H0 with α = .01, so we can safely conclude that color A is preferred (note that it was assumed that "the first 1000 washers sold" is a random sample). 10.30 Let p̂ = sample percentage preferring the product. With α = .05, we reject H0 if pˆ − .2 < −1.645 . .2(.8) / 100 Solving for p̂ , the solution is p̂ < .1342. 10.31 The assumptions are: (1) a random sample (2) a (limiting) normal distribution for the pivotal quantity (3) known population variance (or sample estimate can be used for large n). 10.32 Let p = proportion of U.S. adults who feel the environment quality is fair or poor. To test H0: p = .50 vs. Ha: p > 50, we have that p̂ = .54 so the large–sample test statistic is z = 2.605 and with z.05 = 1.645, we reject H0 and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of the nation's adults think the quality of the environment is fair or poor. 10.33 (Similar to Ex. 10.27) Define: p1 = proportion of Republicans strongly in favor of the death penalty p2 = proportion of Democrats strongly in favor of the death penalty  To test H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 > 0, we can use the large–sample test derived in Ex. 10.27 with pˆ 1 = .23, pˆ 2 = .17, and pˆ p = .20 . Thus, z = 1.50 and for z.05 = 1.645, we fail to reject H0: there is not enough evidence to support the researcher's belief. 10.34 Let μ = mean length of stay in hospitals. Then, for H0: μ = 5, Ha: μ > 5, the large sample test statistic is z = 2.89. With α = .05, z.05 = 1.645 so we can reject H0 and support the agency's hypothesis. 10.35 (Similar to Ex. 10.27) Define: p1 = proportion of currently working homeless men p2 = proportion of currently working domiciled men The hypotheses of interest are H0: p1 – p2 = 0, Ha: p1 – p2 < 0, and we can use the large– sample test derived in Ex. 10.27 with pˆ 1 = .30, pˆ 2 = .38, and pˆ p = .355 . Thus, z = –1.48  and for –z.01 = –2.326, we fail to reject H0: there is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of working homeless men is less than the proportion of working domiciled men. 10.36 (similar to Ex. 10.27) Define:  www.elsolucionario.net 206  Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  Instructor's Solutions Manual  p1 = proportion favoring complete protection p2 = proportion desiring destruction of nuisance alligators Using the large–sample test for H0: p1 – p2 = 0 versus Ha: p1 – p2 ≠ 0, z = – 4.88. This value leads to a rejections at the α = .01 level so we conclude that there is a difference. 10.37 With H0: μ = 130, this is rejected if z =  y −130 σ/ n  < −1.645 , or if y < 130 − 1.645n σ = 129.45. If  .45−128 ) = P(Z > 4.37) = .0000317. μ = 128, then β = P(Y > 129.45 | μ = 128) = P( Z > 129 2.1 / 40  10.38 With H0: μ ≥ 64, this is rejected if z =  y −64 σ/ n  < −2.326 , or if y < 64 − 2.326n σ = 61.36. If μ =  60, then β = P(Y > 61.36 | μ = 60) = P( Z >  61.36 −60 8 / 50  ) = P(Z > 1.2) = .1151.  10.39 In Ex. 10.30, we found the rejection region to be: { p̂ < .1342}. For p = .15, the type II .1342 −.15 error rate is β = P( pˆ > .1342 | p = .15) = P Z > .15 = P( Z > −.4424 ) = .6700. (.85 ) / 100  (  )  10.40 Refer to Ex. 10.33. The null and alternative tests were H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 > 0. We must find a common sample size n such that α = P(reject H0 | H0 true) = .05 and β = P(fail to reject H0 | Ha true) ≤ .20. For α = .05, we use the test statistic pˆ − pˆ 2 − 0 such that we reject H0 if Z ≥ z.05 = 1.645. In other words, Z= 1 p1q1 p2 q 2 + n n  Reject H0 if: pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 ≥ 1.645  p1q1 n  +  p2 q2 n  .  For β, we fix it at the largest acceptable value so P( pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 ≤ c | p1 – p2 = .1) = .20 for some c, or simply pˆ − pˆ 2 − .1 Fail to reject H0 if: 1 = –.84, where –.84 = z.20. p1q1 p2 q2 + n n Let pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 = 1.645 –.84 =  1.645  p1q1 n  +  p1q1 n  p2 q2 n  +  p 2 q2 n  − .1  and substitute this in the above statement to obtain  = 1.645 −  .1  , or simply 2.485 =  .1  + + Using the hint, we set p1 = p2 = .5 as a "worse case scenario" and find that .1 2.485 = . .5(.5)[1n + 1n ] p1q1 n  p2 q2 n  p1q1 n  p2 q2 n  p1q1 n  +  p2 q2 n  .  The solution is n = 308.76, so the common sample size for the researcher's test should be n = 309. 10.41 Refer to Ex. 10.34. The rejection region, written in terms of y , is  {  y −5 3.1 / 500  }  > 1.645 ⇔ {y > 5.228} .  (  Then, β = P( y ≤ 5.228 | μ = 5.5) = P Z ≤  5.228 −5.5 3.1 / 500  ) = P(Z ≤ 1.96) = .025.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  207 Instructor's Solutions Manual  10.42 Using the sample size formula given in this section, we have n=  ( z α + zβ ) 2 σ 2  = 607.37 ,  ( μ a −μ0 )2  so a sample size of 608 will provide the desired levels. 10.43 Let μ1 and μ2 denote the mean dexterity scores for those students who did and did not (respectively) participate in sports. a. For H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 > 0 with α = .05, the rejection region is {z > 1.645} and the computed test statistic is 32.19 − 31.68 z= = .49 .

Solving for n, we have  = 47.66 .  A sample size of 48 will provide the required levels of α and β. 10.45 The 99% CI is 1.65 − 1.43 ± 2.576  (.26 ) 2 30  2  + (.2235) = .22 ± .155 or (.065, .375). Since the  interval does not contain 0, the null hypothesis should be rejected (same conclusion as Ex. 10.21). θˆ − θ0 > z α , which is equivalent to θ0 < θˆ − z α σˆ θˆ . The left–hand σˆ θ side is the 100(1 – α)% lower confidence bound for θ.  10.46 The rejection region is  10.47 (Refer to Ex. 10.32) The 95% lower confidence bound is .54 − 1.645  .54 (.46 ) 1060  = .5148.  Since the value p = .50 is less than this lower bound, it does not represent a plausible value for p. This is equivalent to stating that the hypothesis H0: p = .50 should be rejected.  www.elsolucionario.net 208  Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  Instructor's Solutions Manual  10.48 (Similar to Ex. 10.46) The rejection region is  θˆ − θ0 < − z α , which is equivalent to σˆ θ  θ0 > θˆ + z α σˆ θˆ . The left–hand side is the 100(1 – α)% upper confidence bound for θ. 10.49 (Refer to Ex. 10.19) The upper bound is 128.6 + 1.645  ( ) = 129.146. Since this bound 2.1 40  is less than the hypothesized value of 130, H0 should be rejected as in Ex. 10.19. 10.50 Let μ = mean occupancy rate. To test H0: μ ≥ .6, Ha: μ < .6, the computed test statistic is .6 z = .11.58/ −120 = −1.99 . The p–value is given by P(Z < –1.99) = .0233. Since this is less  than the significance level of .10, H0 is rejected. 10.51 To test H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 ≠ 0, where μ1, μ2 represent the two mean reading test scores for the two methods, the computed test statistic is 74 − 71 z= 2 = 1.58. 9 10 2 + 50 50 The p–value is given by P(| Z |> 1.58) = 2 P( Z > 1.58) = .1142 , and since this is larger than α = .05, we fail to reject H0. 10.52 The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 > 0, where p1 and p2 correspond to normal cell rates for cells treated with .6 and .7 (respectively) concentrations of actinomycin D. a. Using the sample proportions .786 and .329, the test statistic is (refer to Ex. 10.27) .786 − .329 z= = 5.443. The p–value is P(Z > 5.443) ≈ 0. (.557)(.443) 702 b. Since the p–value is less than .05, we can reject H0 and conclude that the normal cell rate is lower for cells exposed to the higher actinomycin D concentration. 10.53 a. The hypothesis of interest is H0: μ1 = 3.8, Ha: μ1 < 3.8, where μ1 represents the mean drop in FVC for men on the physical fitness program. With z = –.996, we have p–value = P(Z < –1) = .1587. b. With α = .05, H0 cannot be rejected. c. Similarly, we have H0: μ2 = 3.1, Ha: μ2 < 3.1. The computed test statistic is z = –1.826 so that the p–value is P(Z < –1.83) = .0336. d. Since α = .05 is greater than the p–value, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean drop in FVC for women is less than 3.1. 10.54 a. The hypotheses are H0: p = .85, Ha: p > .85, where p = proportion of right–handed executives of large corporations. The computed test statistic is z = 5.34, and with α = .01, z.01 = 2.326. So, we reject H0 and conclude that the proportion of right–handed executives at large corporations is greater than 85%  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  209 Instructor's Solutions Manual  b. Since p–value = P(Z > 5.34) < .000001, we can safely reject H0 for any significance level of .000001 or more. This represents strong evidence against H0. 10.55 To test H0: p = .05, Ha: p < .05, with p̂ = 45/1124 = .040, the computed test statistic is z = –1.538. Thus, p–value = P(Z < –1.538) = .0616 and we fail to reject H0 with α = .01. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the proportion of bad checks has decreased from 5%. 10.56 To test H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 > 0, where μ1, μ2 represent the two mean recovery times for treatments {no supplement} and {500 mg Vitamin C}, respectively. The 6.9 −5.8 = 2.074. Thus, p–value = P(Z > 2.074) = computed test statistic is z = 2 2 [( 2.9 ) + (1.2 ) ] / 35  .0192 and so the company can reject the null hypothesis at the .05 significance level conclude the Vitamin C reduces the mean recovery times. 10.57 Let p = proportion who renew. Then, the hypotheses are H0: p = .60, Ha: p ≠ .60. The sample proportion is p̂ = 108/200 = .54, and so the computed test statistic is z = –1.732. The p–value is given by 2 P( Z < −1.732 ) = .0836. 10.58 The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 > 0, where p1 and p2 correspond to, respectively, the proportions associated with groups A and B. Using the test statistic from Ex. 10.27, its computed value is z = .74 −.462 = 2.858 . Thus, p–value .6 (.4 ) 50  = P(Z > 2.858) = .0021. With α = .05, we reject H0 and conclude that a greater fraction feel that a female model used in an ad increases the perceived cost of the automobile. 10.59 a.-d. Answers vary. 10.60 a.-d. Answers vary. 10.61 If the sample size is small, the test is only appropriate if the random sample was selected from a normal population. Furthermore, if the population is not normal and σ is unknown, the estimate s should only be used when the sample size is large. 10.62 For the test statistic to follow a t–distribution, the random sample should be drawn from a normal population. However, the test does work satisfactorily for similar populations that possess mound–shaped distributions. 10.63 The sample statistics are y = 795, s = 8.337. a. The hypotheses to be tested are H0: μ = 800, Ha: μ < 800, and the computed test 800 = –1.341. With 5 – 1 = 4 degrees of freedom, –t.05 = –2.132 so statistic is t = 8795− .337 / 5  we fail to reject H0 and conclude that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the process has a lower mean yield. b.

The conclusion is the same. 10.64 The hypotheses to be tested are H0: μ = 7, Ha: μ ≠ 7, where μ = mean beverage volume. a. The computed test statistic is t = .127./1−710 = 2.64 and with 10 –1 = 9 degrees of  freedom, we find that t.025 = 2.262. So the null hypothesis could be rejected if α = .05 (recall that this is a two–tailed test). b. Using the Applet, 2P(T > 2.64) = 2(.01346) = .02692. c.

With 18 – 1 = 17 degrees of freedom, we find that –t.005 = –2.898, so the p– value must be less than .005. b. Using the Applet, P(T < –3.24) = .00241. c.

To test H0: μ = 100, Ha: μ < 100, where μ = mean DL reading for current smokers, the computed test statistic is t = –3.05. With 20 – 1 = 19 degrees of freedom, we find that –t.01 = –2.539, so we reject H0 and conclude that the mean DL reading is less than 100. b. Using Appendix 5, –t.005 = –2.861, so p–value < .005. c. Using the Applet, P(T < –3.05) = .00329. 10.67 Let μ = mean calorie content. Then, we require H0: μ = 280, Ha: μ > 280. 280 a. The computed test statistic is t = 358− = 4.568. With 10 – 1 = 9 degrees of freedom, 54 / 10  t.01 = 2.821 so H0 can be rejected: it is apparent that the mean calorie content is greater than advertised. b. The 99% lower confidence bound is 358 − 2.821 5410 = 309.83 cal. c. Since the value 280 is below the lower confidence bound, it is unlikely that μ = 280 (same conclusion). 10.68 The random samples are drawn independently from two normal populations with common variance. 10.69 The hypotheses are H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 ≠ 0. a.

So, the rejection region is given by {S = 2 N 1 + N 2 > c} . c. To find a size α rejection region, the distribution of (N1, N2, N3) is specified and with S = 2N1 + N2, a null distribution for S can be found and a critical value specified such that P(S ≥ c | θ0) = α. d. Since the RR doesn't depend on a specific θa > θ0, it is a UMP test. 10.98 The density function that for the Weibull with shape parameter m and scale parameter θ. a.

So, the critical value can be selected from the chi–square distribution and this does not depend on the specific θa > θ0, so the test is UMP. n  www.elsolucionario.net 220  Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  Instructor's Solutions Manual  b. When H0 is true, T/50 is chi–square with 2n degrees of freedom. Thus, χ .205 can be  selected from this distribution so that the RR is {T/50 > χ .205 } and the test is of size α = .05. If Ha is true, T/200 is chi–square with 2n degrees of freedom. Thus, we require β = P(T / 50 ≤ χ .205 | θ = 400 ) = P(T / 200 ≤ 14 χ.205 | θ = 400 ) = P( χ 2 ≤ 14 χ .205 ) = .05 . Thus, we have that 14 χ .205 = χ .295 . From Table 6 in Appendix III, it is found that the degrees of freedom necessary for this equality is 12 = 2n, so n = 6. 10.99 a. The best test is T  L( λ 0 ) ⎛ λ 0 ⎞ = ⎜ ⎟ exp[n(λ a − λ 0 )] < k , L(λ a ) ⎜⎝ λ a ⎟⎠ where T = ∑i =1Yi . This simplifies to n  ln k − n(λ a − λ 0 ) = c, ln(λ 0 / λ a ) and c is chosen so that the test is of size α. T>  b. Since under H0 T = ∑i =1Yi is Poisson with mean nλ, c can be selected such that n  P(T > c | λ = λ0) = α. c. Since this critical value does not depend on the specific λa > λ0, so the test is UMP. d. It is easily seen that the UMP test is: reject if T < k′. 10.100 Since X and Y are independent, the likelihood function is the product of all marginal mass function.

Under H0, n  ∑  n  Y is binomial with parameters n and p0.  i =1 i  c. Since the critical value can be specified without regard to a specific value of pa, this is the UMP test. 10.103 Refer to Section 6.7 and 9.7 for this problem. a. The likelihood function is L(θ) = θ − n I 0,θ ( y ( n ) ) .

The density function for Y(n) is g n ( y ) = ny n −1θ − n , for 0 ≤ y ≤ θ. For a size α test, select c such that  www.elsolucionario.net 222  Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing  Instructor's Solutions Manual c  α = P(Y( n ) < c | θ = θ 0 ) = ∫ ny n −1θ 0− n dy = 1/n  0  1/n  cn , θ 0n  so c = θ0α . So, the RR is {Y(n) < θ0α }. b. Since the RR does not depend on the specific value of θa < θ0, it is UMP. 10.104 Refer to Ex. 10.103. a. As in Ex. 10.103, the test can be based on Y(n). In the case, the rejection region is of the form {Y(n) > c}. For a size α test select c such that θ0 cn n −1 − n α = P(Y( n ) > c | θ = θ 0 ) = ∫ ny θ 0 dy = 1 − n , θ0 c 1/n so c = θ0(1 – α) . b.

Example: choose the rejection region C = ( a, b) ∪ ( θ 0 , ∞ ), where ( a, b) ⊂ (0, θ 0 ) . Then,  α = P( a < Y( n )  bn − a n < b | θ0 ) = , θ 0n  The power of this test is given by θ 0n b n − a n θ na − θ 0n + = ( α − 1 ) + 1, θ na θ na θ na which is independent of the interval (a, b) and has the same power as in part a.

For the data in this exercise, y1 = 76, y2 = 53, y3 = 59, and y4 = 48. Thus, − 2 ln λ = 10.54 and we reject H0: the fraction of voters favoring candidate A is not the sample in all four wards.  10.107 Let X1, …, Xn and Y1, …, Ym denote the two samples.

Thus, the rejection region is equivalent to F > c1 and F < c2, where c1 and c2 are chosen so that the test is of size α. 10.110 This is easily proven by using Theorem 9.4: write the likelihood function as a function of the sufficient statistic, so therefore the LRT must also only be a function of the sufficient statistic. 10.111 a. Under H0, the likelihood is maximized at θ0. Under the alternative (unrestricted) ˆ ) = L(θ ) and hypothesis, the likelihood is maximized at either θ0 or θa. Thus, L(Ω 0 0 ˆ ) = max{L( θ ), L( θ )} .

So, to test equality for the slope parameters, the computed test statistic is | .155 − .190 | = 1.25 |t | = .1024(1721.397 + 5541.825 ) with 38 degrees of freedom. Since t.025 ≈ z.025 = 1.96, we fail to reject H0: we cannot conclude that the slopes are different. 11.31  Here, R is used to fit the regression model: > x <- c(19.1, 38.2, 57.3, 76.2, 95, 114, 131, 150, 170) > y <- c(.095, .174, .256, .348, .429, .500, .580, .651, .722) > summary(lm(y~x)) Call: lm(formula = y ~ x)  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  239 Instructor's Solutions Manual  Residuals: Min 1Q Median -1.333e-02 -4.278e-03 -2.314e-05  3Q 8.056e-03  Max 9.811e-03  Coefficients: Estimate Std.

To test H0: β1 = 0 against Ha: β1 ≠ 0, note that the p–value is quite small indicating a very significant test statistic. Thus, H0 is rejected and we can conclude that peak current increases as nickel concentrations increase (note that this is a one–sided alternative, so the p–value is actually 2.37e-11 divided by 2). 11.32  a. From Ex. 11.5, β̂1 = 4.8417 and Sxx = 42. From Ex. 11.15, s2 = 3.0476 so to test H0: β1 = 0 vs. Ha: β1 > 0, the required test statistic is t = 17.97 with 6 degrees of freedom. Since t.01 = 3.143, H0 is rejected: there is evidence of an increase. b. The 99% CI for β1 is 4.84 ± 1.00 or (3.84, 5.84).  11.33  Using the coded x's from 11.18, β̂1* = .655 and s2 = 10.97. Since Sxx = .655  2360.2388, the computed test statistic is | t |=  ∑ (x ) 10  i =1  * 2 i  =  = 9.62 with 8 degrees of  10.97 2360.2388  freedom. Since t.025 = 2.306, we can conclude that there is evidence of a linear relationship. 11.34  a. Since t.005 = 3.355, we have that p–value < 2(.005) = .01. b.

So, the linear relationship may not hold (note that the intervals for 1980, 1981 and 1982 are also outside of the limits, so caveat emptor). 11.45  From Ex. 11.8 and 11.18 (also see 11.37), when x* = 12, ŷ = 7.15 so that the 95% PI is ⎡ 1 (12 − 15.504 ) 2 ⎤ 7.15 ± 2.306 10.97⎢1 + + ⎥ = 7.15 ± 8.03 or (–.86, 15.18). 2359.929 ⎦ ⎣ 10  11.46  From 11.16 and 11.39, when x* = 65, ŷ = 25.395 so that the 95% PI is given by ⎡ 1 (65 − 60 ) 2 ⎤ 25.395 ± 2.228 19.033⎢1 + + ⎥ = 25.395 ± 10.136. 6000 ⎦ ⎣ 12  11.47  From Ex. 11.14, when x* = .6, ŷ = .3933 so that the 95% PI is given by ⎡ 1 (.6 − .325) 2 ⎤ .3933 ± 2.306 .00194 ⎢1 + + ⎥ = .3933 ± .12 or (.27, .51). .20625 ⎦ ⎣ 10  11.48  The summary statistics are Sxx = 380.5, Sxy = 2556.0, and Syy = 19,263.6.

From Table 7, we find that p–value < .005.  www.elsolucionario.net 242  Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  Instructor's Solutions Manual  11.49  a. r2 behaves inversely to SSE, since r2 = 1 – SSE/Syy. b. The best model has r2 = .817, so r = .90388 (since the slope is positive, r is as well).  11.50  a. r2 increases as the fit improves. b. For the best model, r2 = .982 and so r = .99096. c. The scatterplot in this example exhibits a smaller error variance about the line.  11.51  The summary statistics are Sxx = 2359.929, Sxy = 1546.459, and Syy = 1101.1686. Thus, r = .9593. To test H0: ρ = 0 vs. Ha: ρ ≠ 0, |t| = 9.608 with 8 degrees of freedom. From Table 7, we see that p–value < 2(.005) = .01 so we can reject the null hypothesis that the correlation is 0.  11.52  a.

The MOM estimators for σ 2X and σ Y2 were given in Ex. 9.72. b. By substituting the MOM estimators, the MOM estimator for ρ is identical to r, the MLE.  11.55  Since βˆ 1 = S xy / S xx and r = βˆ 1 S xx / S yy , we have that the usual t–test statistic is: T=  11.56  βˆ 1 S / S xx  =  S xx βˆ 1 n − 2 S yy − βˆ 1 S xy  =  S xx / S yy βˆ 1 n − 2 1 − βˆ 1 S xy / S yy  =  r n−2 1− r2  .

For part a, p–value = P(T > 2.309) = .05209. For part (b), p–value = .00089. d. Different conclusions: note the n − 2 term in the numerator of the test statistic. e. The larger sample size in part b caused the computed test statistic to be more extreme. Also, the degrees of freedom were larger.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  243 Instructor's Solutions Manual  11.57  a. The sample correlation r determines the sign. b. Both r and n determine the magnitude of |t|.  11.58  For the test H0: ρ = 0 vs. Ha: ρ > 0, we reject if t =  r 2 1− r 2  ≥ t.05 = 2.92. The smallest value  of r that would lead to a rejection of H0 is the solution to the equation r=  2.92 2  1− r2 .  Numerically, this is found to be r = .9000. 11.59  For the test H0: ρ = 0 vs. Ha: ρ < 0, we reject if t =  r 18 1− r 2  ≤ –t.05 = –1.734. The largest  value of r that would lead to a rejection of H0 is the solution to the equation r=  1− r2 .  −1.734 18  Numerically, this is found to be r = –.3783. 11.60  Recall the approximate normal distribution of 12 ln (11+− rr ) given on page 606. Therefore, for sample correlations r1 and r2, each being calculated from independent samples of size n1 and n2 (respectively) and drawn from bivariate normal populations with correlations coefficients ρ1 and ρ2 (respectively), we have that 1+ r1 1+ r2 1+ ρ1 1+ ρ 2 1 1 1 1 2 ln 1− r1 − 2 ln 1− r2 − 2 ln 1−ρ1 − 2 ln 1−ρ 2 Z= 1 + n1 −3 n −3  ( )  ( ) [ ( ) 1  ( )]  2  is approximately standard normal for large n1 and n2. Thus, to test H0: ρ1 = ρ2 vs. Ha: ρ1 ≠ ρ2 with r1 = .9593, n1 = 10, r2 = .85, n2 = 20, the computed test statistic is 9593 1 ) − 12 ln(1..1585 ) ln (1..0407 z= 2 = 1.52 . 1 + 117 7 Since the rejection region is all values |z| > 1.96 for α = .05, we fail to reject H0. 11.61  Refer to Example 11.10 and the results given there.

The  proportion of variation described is r2 = (.9904)2 = .9809. 11.63  a. Observe that lnE(Y) = lnα0 – α1x. Thus, the logarithm of the expected value of Y is linearly related to x. So, we can use the linear model wi = β0 + β1xi + εi, where wi = lnyi, β0 = lnα0 and β1= – α1. In the above, note that we are assuming an additive error term that is in effect after the transformation. Using the method of least squares, the summary statistics are:  www.elsolucionario.net 244  Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  Instructor's Solutions Manual  x = 5.5, Σx 2 = 385, w = 3.5505, Sxw = –.7825, Sxx = 82.5, and Sww = .008448. Thus, β̂1 = –.0095, β̂ 0 = 3.603 and α̂1 = –(–.0095) = .0095, α̂ 0 = exp(3.603) = 36.70. Therefore, the prediction equation is yˆ = 36.70e −.0095 x . b. To find a CI for α0, we first must find a CI for β0 and then merely transform the endpoints of the interval. First, we calculate the SSE using SSE = Sww – β̂1 Sxw = .008448 – (–.0095)(–.782481) = .0010265 and so s2 = (.0010265)/8 = .0001283 Using the methods given in Section 11.5, the 90% CI for β0 is 3.6027 ± 1.86 .0001283 10385 ( 82.5 or (3.5883, 3.6171). So the 90% CI for α0 is given by  (  11.64  (e  )  3.5883  )  , e 3.6171 = (36.17, 37.23).  This is similar to Ex. 11.63. Note that lnE(Y) = –α0 x α1 and ln[–lnE(Y)] = lnα0 + α1lnx. So, we would expect that ln(–lny) to be linear in lnx. Define wi = ln(–lnyi), ti = lnxi, β0 = lnα0, β1= α1. So, we now have the familiar linear model wi = β0 + β1ti + εi (again, we are assuming an additive error term that is in effect after the transformation). The methods of least squares can be used to estimate the parameters. The summary statistics are t = –1.12805, w = –1.4616, Stw = 3.6828, and Stt = 1.51548 So, β̂1 = 2.4142, β̂ 0 = 1.2617 and thus α̂1 = 2.4142 and α̂ 0 = exp(1.2617) = 3.5315.  (  )  This fitted model is yˆ = exp − 3.5315 x 2.4142 .  11.65  If y is related to t according to y = 1 – e–βt, then –ln(1 – y) = βt. Thus, let wi = –ln(1 – yi) and we have the linear model wi = βti + εi (again assuming an additive error term). This is the "no–intercept" model described in  ∑ Ex. 11.10 and the least squares estimator for β is given to be βˆ = ∑ n  tw  i =1 i i n 2 i =1 i  similar methods from Section 11.4, note that V (βˆ ) =  σ2  ∑  n  t2 i =1 i  . Now, using  t  SSE and 2 = σ  ∑  n  i =1  ( wi − wˆ ) 2 σ2  is chi–square with n – 1 degrees of freedom. So, by Definition 7.2, the quantity βˆ − β T= , n S / ∑i =1 t i2 where S = SSE/(n – 1) , has a t–distribution with n – 1 degrees of freedom.

To test H0: β2 = 0 vs. Ha: β2 ≠ 0, the computed test statistic is t = –1.206 and p–value = .28167. Thus, H0 would not be rejected (no quadratic effect). b. From the output, it is presented that V (βˆ 2 ) = .1120. So, with 5 degrees of freedom, t.05 = 3.365 so a 90% for β2 is –.1351 ± (3.365)(.1120) = –.1351 ± .3769 or (–.512, .2418). Note that this interval contains 0, agreeing with part a. 11.73  If the minimum value is to occur at x0 = 1, then this implies β1 + 2β2 = 0. To test this claim, let a′ = [0 1 2] for the hypothesis H0: β1 + 2β2 = 0 vs. Ha: β1 + 2β2 ≠ 0. From  www.elsolucionario.net 248  Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  Instructor's Solutions Manual  Ex. 11.68, we have that βˆ 1 + 2βˆ 2 = .142861, s2 = .14285 and we calculate a′( X ′X ) −1 a = |.142861| = 1.31 with 4 .083334. So, the computed value of the test statistic is | t |= .14285 (.083334 ) degrees of freedom. Since t.025 = 2.776, H0 is not rejected. 11.74  a. Each transformation is defined, for each factor, by subtracting the midpoint (the mean) and dividing by one–half the range. b.

First, note that SSE = Y ′Y – βˆ ′X ′Y = 7446.52 – 7347.7075 = 98.8125 so that s2 = 98.8125/(16 – 5) = 8.98. Further, tests of H0: βi = 0 vs. H0: βi ≠ 0 for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, are βˆ i 4βˆ i = and H0 is rejected if |ti| > t.005 = 3.106. The based on the statistic t i = s cii 8.98 four computed test statistics are t1 = –4.19, t2 = –1.62, t3 = –.22 and t4 = –1.70. Thus, only the first hypothesis involving the first temperature factor is significant.  11.75  With the four given factor levels, we have a′ = [1 –1 1 –1 1] and so a′( X ′X ) −1 a = 5/16. The estimate of the mean of Y at this setting is yˆ = 21.125 + 3.1375 − 1.2125 + .1625 − 1.275 = 21.9375 and the 90% confidence interval (based on 11 degrees of freedom) is 21.9375 ± 1.796 8.96 5 / 16 = 21.9375 ± 3.01 or (18.93, 24.95).  11.76  First, we calculate s2 = SSE/(n – k –1) = 1107.01/11 = 100.637. a. To test H0: β2 = 0 vs. H0: β2 < 0, we use the t–test with c22 = 8.1·10–4: − .92 = –3.222. t= 100.637(.00081) With 11 degrees of freedom, –t.05 = –1.796 so we reject H0: there is sufficient evidence that β2 < 0. b. (Similar to Ex. 11.75) With the three given levels, we have a′ = [1 914 65 6] and so a′( X ′X ) −1 a = 92.76617. The estimate of the mean of Y at this setting is yˆ = 38.83 − .0092(914) − .92(65) + 11.56(6) = 39.9812 and the 95% CI based on 11 degrees of freedom is  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  249 Instructor's Solutions Manual  39.9812 ± 2.201 100.637 92.76617 = 39.9812 ± 212.664. 11.77  Following Ex. 11.76, the 95% PI is 39.9812 ± 2.201 100.637 93.76617 = 39.9812 ± 213.807.  11.78  From Ex. 11.69, the fitted model is yˆ = 35.5625 + 1.8119 x − .1351x 2 . For the year 2004, x = 9 and the predicted sales is ŷ = 35.5625 + 1.8119(9) –.135(92) = 40.9346. With we have a′ = [1 9 81] and so a′( X ′X ) −1 a = 1.94643. The 98% PI for Lexus sales in 2004 is then 40.9346 ± 3.365(5.808) 1 + 1.94643 = 40.9346 ± 33.5475.  11.79  For the given levels, ŷ = 21.9375, a′( X ′X ) −1 a = .3135, and s2 = 8.98. The 90% PI based on 11 degrees of freedom is 21.9375 ± 1.796 8.98(1 + .3135) = 21.9375 ± 6.17 or (15.77, 28.11).  11.80  Following Ex. 11.31, Syy = .3748 and SSE = S yy − β̂1 S xy = .3748 – (.004215)(88.8) = −.000508 ) / 1 = 5157.57 with 1 .000508. Therefore, the F–test is given by F = (.3748 .000508 / 7 numerator and 7 denominator degrees of freedom. Clearly, p–value < .005 so reject H0.  11.81  From Definition 7.2, let Z ~ Nor(0, 1) and W ~ χ ν2 , and let Z and W be independent. Z has the t–distribution with ν degrees of freedom. But, since Z2 ~ χ12 , Then, T = W /ν by Definition 7.3, F = T2 has a F–distribution with 1 numerator and ν denominator degrees of freedom. Now, specific to this problem, note that if k = 1, SSER = Syy. So, the reduced model F–test simplifies to S yy − ( S yy − βˆ 1 S xy ) βˆ 2 F= = 2 1 =T2. SSE C /( n − 2) s / S xx  11.82  a. To test H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0 vs. Ha: at least one βi ≠ 0, the F–statistic is (10965.46 − 1107.01) / 3 F= = 32.653, 1107.01 / 11 with 3 numerator and 11 denominator degrees of freedom. From Table 7, we see that p–value < .005, so there is evidence that at least one predictor variable contributes.  1107.01 = .899 , so 89.9% of the 10965.46 variation in percent yield (Y) is explained by the model. b. The coefficient of determination is R 2 = 1 −  11.83  a. To test H0: β2 = β3 = 0 vs. Ha: at least one βi ≠ 0, the reduced model F–test is  www.elsolucionario.net 250  Chapter 11: Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares  Instructor's Solutions Manual  (5470.07 − 1107.01) / 2 = 21.677 , 1107.01/11 with 2 numerator and 11 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 3.98, we can reject H0. F=  b. We must find the value of SSER such that  (SSE R − 1107.01) / 2 = 3.98. The solution 1107.01/11  is SSER = 1908.08 11.84  a.

From Table 7, it is clear that p–value < .005, so we can safely conclude that at least one of the variables contributes to predicting the selling price.  a. Using the result from Ex. 11.84, F =  b. Since R 2 = 1 − SSE / S yy , SSE = 16382.2(1 – .942) = 950.1676. 11.86  11.87  To test H0: β2 = β3 = β4 = 0 vs. Ha: at least one βi ≠ 0, the reduced–model F–test is (1553 − 950.16) / 3 F= = 2.115, 950.1676 / 10 with 3 numerator and 10 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 3.71, we fail to reject H0 and conclude that these variables should be dropped from the model. 2 ⎛ .9 ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ = 4.5 with 4 numerator 4 ⎝ .1 ⎠ and 2 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.1 = 9.24, we fail to reject H0. a. The F–statistic, using the result in Ex. 11.84, is F =  b. Since k is large with respect to n, this makes the computed F–statistic small.  40 ⎛ .15 ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ = 2.353 with 3 3 ⎝ .85 ⎠ numerator and 40 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.1 = 2.23, we can reject H0. c. The F–statistic, using the result in Ex. 11.84, is F =  d. Since k is small with respect to n, this makes the computed F–statistic large. 11.88  a.

We have that SSER = 217.7112 and SSEC = 168.636. For H0: β2 = 0 vs. Ha: β2 ≠ 0, 217.7112 − 168.636 the reduced model F–test is F = = 1.455 with 1 numerator and 168.636 / 5 5 denominator degrees of freedom. With F.05 = 6.61, we fail to reject H0. b. Referring to the R output given in Ex. 11.72, the F–statistic is F = 8.904 and the p– value for the test is .0225. This leads to a rejection at the α = .05 level.  11.91  The hypothesis of interest is H0: β1 = β4 = 0 vs. Ha: at least one βi ≠ 0, i = 1, 4. From Ex. 11.74, we have SSEC = 98.8125.

Thus, since F.05 = 3.98, we can reject H0 can conclude that either T1 or T2 (or both) affect the yield.  11.92  To test H0: β3 = β4 = β5 = 0 vs. Ha: at least one βi ≠ 0, the reduced–model F–test is ( 465.134 − 152.177) / 3 F= = 12.34, 152.177 / 18 with 3 numerator and 18 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.005 = 5.92, we have that p–value < .005.  11.93  Refer to Example. 11.19. For the reduced model, s2 = 326.623/8 = 40.83.

The rates are different if the parameter β3 is nonzero. So, H0: β3 = 0 vs. Ha: β3 ≠ 0 has a p–value = .03924 (R output above) and H0 is rejected. e. With x1 = 1, x2 = 1, so ŷ = 12.81.

To test H0: ρ = 0 vs. Ha: ρ ≠ 0, |t| = 5.04 with 6 degrees of freedom.

If n1 = 34 and n2 = 56, then 25 σ Y1 −Y2 = 349 + 56 = .7111  2  = 90 − 34 = 56.  In order to achieve this same bound with equal sample sizes, we must have 9 25 n + n = .7111 The solution is n = 47.8 or 48. Thus, it is necessary to have n1 = n2 = 48 so that the same amount of information is implied. 12.3  The length of a 95% CI is twice the margin of error: 2(1.96) n91 + n252 , and this is required to be equal to two. In Ex. 12.1, we found n1 = (3/8)n and n1 = (5/8)n, so substituting these values into the above and equating it to two, the solution is found to be n = 245.9. Thus, n1 = 93 and n2 = 154.  12.4  (Similar to Ex. 12.3) Here, the equation to solve is 2(1.96) n91 + 25 n1 = 2. The solution is n1 = 130.6 or 131, and the total sample size required is 131 + 131 = 262.  12.5  Refer to Section 12.2. The variance of the slope estimate is minimized (maximum information) when Sxx is as large as possible. This occurs when the data are as far away from x as possible. So, with n = 6, three rats should receive x = 2 units and three rats should receive x = 5 units.  12.6  When σ is known, a 95% CI for β is given by  σ . S xx Under the two methods, we calculate that Sxx = 13.5 for Method 1 and Sxx = 6.3 for Method 2. Thus, Method 2 will produce the longer interval. By computing the ratio of the margins of error for the two methods (Method 2 to Method 1), we obtain 136..35 = 1.464; thus Method 2 produces an interval that is 1.464 times as large as Method 1. βˆ 1 ± z α / 2  Under Method 2, suppose we take n measurements at each of the six dose levels. It is not difficult to show that now Sxx = 6.3n. So, in order for the intervals to be equivalent, we must have that 6.3n = 13.5, and so n = 2.14. So, roughly twice as many observations are required. 12.7  Although it was assumed that the response variable Y is truly linear over the range of x, the experimenter has no way to verify this using Method 2. By assigning a few points at x = 3.5, the experimenter could check for curvature in the response function.  257  www.elsolucionario.net 258  Chapter 12: Considerations in Designing Experiments  Instructor's Solutions Manual  12.8  Checking for true linearity and constant error variance cannot be performed if the data points are spread out as far as possible.  12.9  a. Each half of the iron ore sample should be reasonably similar, and assuming the two methods are similar, the data pairs should be positively correlated. b. Either analysis compares means. However, the paired analysis requires fewer ore samples and reduces the sample−to−sample variability.  12.10  The sample statistics are: d = −.0217, sD2 = .0008967. a. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD ≠ 0, the test statistic is |t| =  −.0217 .0008967 6  = 1.773 with 5  degrees of freedom. Since t.025 = 2.571, H0 is not rejected. b. From Table 5, .10 < p−value < .20. c. The 95% CI is − .0217 ± 2.571 .0008967 = −.0217 ± .0314. 6  (  )  12.11  Recall that Var ( D ) = 1n σ12 + σ 22 + 2ρσ1σ 2 given in this section. a. This occurs when ρ > 0. b. This occurs when ρ = 0. c. This occurs when ρ < 0. d. If the samples are negatively correlated, a matched−pairs experiment should not be performed. Otherwise, if it is possible, the matched−pairs experiment will have an associated variance that is equal or less than the variance associated with the independent samples experiment.  12.12  a. There are 2n − 2 degrees of freedom for error. b. There are n − 1 degrees of freedom for error. c. n Independent samples Matched−pairs 5 d.f. = 8, t.025 = 2.306 d.f. = 4, t.025 = 2.776 10 d.f. = 18, t.025 = 2.101 d.f. = 9, t.025 = 2.262 30 d.f. = 58, t.025 = 1.96 d.f. = 29, t.025 = 2.045 d. Since more observations are required for the independent samples design, this increases the degrees of freedom for error and thus shrinks the critical values used in confidence intervals and hypothesis tests.  12.13  A matched−pairs experiment is preferred since there could exist sample−to−sample variability when using independent samples (one person could be more prone to plaque buildup than another).  12.14  The sample statistics are: d = −.333, sD2 = 5.466. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD < 0, the 333 test statistic is t = 5−..466 = −.35 with 5 degrees of freedom. From Table 5, p−value > .1 6 so H0 is not rejected.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 12: Considerations in Designing Experiments  259 Instructor's Solutions Manual  12.15  a. The sample statistics are: d = 1.5, sD2 = 2.571. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD ≠ 0, the  test statistic is |t| =  1. 5 2.571 8  = 2.65 with 7 degrees of freedom. Since t.025 = 2.365, H0 is  rejected. b. Notice that each technician's score is similar under both design A and B, but the technician's scores are not similar in general (some are high and some are low). Thus, pairing is important to screen out the variability among technicians. c. We assumed that the population of differences follows a normal distribution, and that the sample used in the analysis was randomly selected. 12.16  The sample statistics are: d = −3.88, sD2 = 8.427. a. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD < 0, the test statistic is t =  b. c. d. e.  12.17  −3.88 8.427 15  = −5.176 with 14  degrees of freedom. From Table 5, it is seen that p−value < .005, so H0 is rejected when α = .01. A 95% CI is − 3.88 ± 2.145 8.427 / 15 = −3.88 ± 1.608. Using the Initial Reading data, y = 36.926 and s2 = 40.889. A 95% CI for the mean muck depth is 36.926 ± 2.145 40.889 / 15 = 36.926 ± 3.541. Using the Later Reading data, y = 33.046 and s2 = 35.517. A 95% CI for the mean much depth is 33.046 ± 2.145 35.517 / 15 = 33.046 ± 3.301. For parts a and b, we assumed that the population of differences follows a normal distribution, and that the sample used in the analysis was randomly selected. For parts c and d, we assumed that the individual samples were randomly selected from two normal populations.  a. E (Yij ) = μ i + E (U i ) + E (ε ij ) = μ i . b. Each Y1j involves the sum of a uniform and a normal random variable, and this convolution does not result in a normal random variable. c. Cov(Y1 j ,Y2 j ) = Cov(μ1 + U j + ε1 j , μ 2 + U j + ε 2 j ) = Cov(μ 1 , μ 2 ) + Cov(U j ,U j ) +  Cov( ε 1 j , ε 2 j ) = 0 + V(Uj) + 0 = 1/3. d. Observe that D j = Y1 j − Y2 j = μ1 − μ 2 + ε1 j − ε 2 j . Since the random errors are  independent and follow a normal distribution, Dj is a normal random variable. Further, for j ≠ j′, Cov( D j , D j′ ) = 0 since the two random variables are comprised of constants and independent normal variables. Thus, D j and D j′ are independent (recall that if two normal random variables are uncorrelated, they are also independent − but this is not true in general). e. Provided that the distribution of Uj has a mean of zero and finite variance, the result will hold. 12.18  Use Table 12 and see Section 12.4 of the text.  12.19  Use Table 12 and see Section 12.4 of the text.  www.elsolucionario.net 260  Chapter 12: Considerations in Designing Experiments  Instructor's Solutions Manual  12.20  a. There are six treatments. One example would be the first catalyst and the first temperature setting. b. After assigning the n experimental units to the treatments, the experimental units are numbered from 1 to n. Then, a random number table is used to select numbers until all experimental units have been selected.  12.21  Randomization avoids the possibility of bias introduced by a nonrandom selection of sample elements. Also, it provides a probabilistic basis for the selection of a sample.  12.22  Factors are independent experimental variables that the experimenter can control.  12.23  A treatment is a specific combination of factor levels used in an experiment.  12.24  Yes. Suppose that a plant biologist is comparing three soil types used for planting, where the response is the yield of a crop planted in the different soil types. Then, "soil type" is a factor variable. But, if the biologist is comparing the yields of different greenhouses, but each greenhouse used different soil types, then "soil type" is a nuisance variable.  12.25  Increases accuracy of the experiment: 1) selection of treatments, 2) choice of number of experimental units assigned to each treatment. Decreases the impact of extraneous sources of variability: randomization; assigning treatments to experimental units.  12.26  There is a possibility of significant rat−to−rat variation. By applying all four dosages to tissue samples extracted from the same rat, the experimental error is reduced. This design is an example of a randomized block design.  12.27  In the Latin square design, each treatment appears in each row and each column exactly once. So, the design is: B A C C B A A C B  12.28  A CI could be constructed for the specific population parameter, and the width of the CI gives the quantity of information.  12.29  A random sample of size n is a sample that was randomly selected from all possible (unique) samples of size n (constructed of observations from the population of interest) and each sample had an equal chance of being selected.  12.30  From Section 12.5, the choice of factor levels and the allocation of the experimental units to the treatments, as well as the total number of experimental units being used, affect the total quantity of information. Randomization and blocking can control these factors.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 12: Considerations in Designing Experiments  261 Instructor's Solutions Manual  12.31  Given the model proposed in this exercise, we have the following: a. E (Yij ) = μ i + E ( Pi ) + E (ε ij ) = μ i + 0 + 0 = μ i .  ] [σ  [  b. Obviously, E (Yi ) = μ i . Also, V (Yi ) = 1n V (Yij ) = 1n V ( Pi ) + V (ε ij ) =  1 n  2 P  ]  + σ2 ,  since Pi and εij are independent for all i, j. c. From part b, E ( D ) = E (Y1 ) − E (Y2 ) = μ 1 − μ 2 . Now, to find V (D ), note that D=  1 n  ∑  n j =1  D j = μ1 − μ 2 +  Thus, since the εij are independent, V ( D ) =  1 n  1 n2  [∑ [∑  ]  ε + ∑ j =1 ε 2 j .  n  n  j =1 1 j  n  ]  V ( ε1 j ) + ∑ j =1V (ε 2 j ) = 2σ 2 / n . n  j =1  Further, since D is a linear combination of normal random variables, it is also normally distributed. 12.32  D − (μ 1 − μ 2 )  has a standard normal distribution. In 2σ 2 / n addition, since D1, …, Dn are independent normal random variables with mean μ1 − μ2 and variance 2σ2, the quantity From Exercise 12.31, clearly  ( n − 1)S D2 W = = 2σ 2  ∑  n  i =1  ( Di − D ) 2 2σ 2  is chi−square with ν = n − 1 degrees of freedom. Therefore, by Definition 7.2 and under H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0, Z D = W / ν SD / n has a t−distribution with n − 1 degrees of freedom.  12.33  Using similar methods as in Ex. 12.31, we find that for this model, V (D ) =  1 n2  ∑ [V ( P n  j =1  1j  ] [2σ  ) + V ( P2 j ) + V (ε1 j ) + V (ε 2 j ) =  1 n  2 P  ]  + 2σ 2 > 1n 2σ 2 .  Thus, the variance is larger with the completely randomized design, since the unwanted variation due to pairing is not eliminated. 12.34  The sample statistics are: d = −.062727, sD2 = .012862. a. We expect the observations to be positively correlated since (assuming the people are honest) jobs that are estimated to take a long time actually take a long time when processed. Similar for jobs that are estimated to take a small amount of processor time. .0627272 b. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD < 0, the test statistic is t = −.012862 = −1.834 with 10 11 degrees of freedom. Since −t.10 = −1.362, H0 is rejected: there is evidence that the customers tend to underestimate the processor time. c. From Table 5, we have that .025 < p−value < .05. d. A 90% CI for μ D = μ 1 − μ 2 , is − .062727 ± 1.812 .012862 / 11 = −.063 ± .062 or (−.125, −.001).  www.elsolucionario.net 262  Chapter 12: Considerations in Designing Experiments  Instructor's Solutions Manual  12.35  The sample statistics are: d = −1.58, sD2 = .667. −1.58  a.  To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD ≠ 0, the test statistic is |t| =  b. c.  degrees of freedom. From Table 5, we can see that .01 < p−value < .025, so H0 would be rejected for any α ≥ .025. A 95% CI is given by − 1.58 ± 2.776 .667 / 5 = −1.58 ± 1.014 or (−2.594, −.566). We will use the estimate of the variance of paired differences. Also, since the required sample will (probably) be large, we will use the critical value from the standard normal distribution. Our requirement is then:  .667 5  = 4.326 with 4  σ 2D .667 . ≈ 1.96 n n The solution is n = 64.059, or 65 observations (pairs) are necessary. .2 = z .025  12.36  The sample statistics are: d = 106.9, sD2 = 1364.989. a. Each subject is presented each sign in random order. If the subject's reaction time is (in general) high, both responses should be high. If the subject's reaction time is (in general) low. both responses should be low. Because of the subject−to−subject variability, the matched pairs design can eliminate this extraneous source of variation. 106.0 b. To test H0: μD = 0 vs. Ha: μD ≠ 0, the test statistic is |t| = 1364.989 / 10 = 9.15 with 9 degrees of freedom. Since t.025 = 2.262, H0 is rejected. c. From Table 5, we see that p−value < 2(.005) = .01. d. The 95% CI is given by 106.9 ± 2.262 1364.989 / 10 = 106.9 ± 26.428 or (80.472, 133.328).  12.37  There are nk1 points at x = −1, nk2 at x = 0, and nk3 points at x = 1.

Since k1, k2, and k3 are all positive, k1 = k3 by symmetry of the above equations and therefore by (*), 4k12 = (1 − 2k1 ) 2 so that k1 = k3 = .25. Thus, k2 = .50.  www.elsolucionario.net  Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance 13.1  The summary statistics are: y1 = 1.875, s12 = .6964286, y 2 = 2.625, s 22 = .8392857, and n1 = n2 = 8. The desired test is: H0: μ1 = μ2 vs. Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2, where μ1, μ2 represent the mean reaction times for Stimulus 1 and 2 respectively. a. SST = 4(1.875 – 2.625)2 = 2.25, SSE = 7(.696428) + 7(.8392857) = 10.75. Thus, MST = 2.25/1 = 2.25 and MSE = 10.75/14 = .7679. The test statistic F = 2.25/.7679 = 2.93 with 1 numerator and 14 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 4.60, we fail to reject H0: the stimuli are not significantly different. b. Using the Applet, p–value = P(F > 2.93) = .109. 1.875− 2.625 c. Note that s 2p = MSE = .7679. So, the two–sample t–test statistic is |t| = = ⎛2⎞ .7679 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝8⎠  1.712 with 14 degrees of freedom.

The test statistic F = 58,080/1894.5 = 30.64 with 1 numerator and 28 denominator degrees of freedom. Clearly, p–value < .005. b. Using the Applet, p–value = P(F > 30.64) = .00001. c. In Ex. 10.77, t = –5.54. Observe that (–5.54)2 ≈ 30.64 (roundoff error). d. We assumed that the two random samples were selected independently from normal populations with equal variances.  13.3  See Section 13.3 of the text.  13.4  For the four groups of students, the sample variances are: s12 = 66.6667, s 22 = 50.6192, s 32 = 91.7667, s 42 = 33.5833 with n1 = 6, n2 = 7, n3 = 6, n4 = 4. Then, SSE = 5(66.6667) + 6(50.6192) + 5(91.7667) + 3(33.5833) = 1196.6321, which is identical to the prior result.  13.5  Since W has a chi–square distribution with r degrees of freedom, the mgf is given by mW (t ) = E ( e tW ) = (1 − 2t ) − r / 2 . Now, W = U + V, where U and V are independent random variables and V is chi–square with s degrees of freedom. So, mW (t ) = E ( e tW ) = E ( e t (U +V ) ) = E ( e tU ) E ( e tV ) = E ( e tU )(1 − 2t ) − s / 2 = (1 − 2t ) − r / 2 . (1 − 2t ) − r / 2 = (1 − 2t ) −( r − s ) / 2 . Since this is the mgf for a chi– −s / 2 (1 − 2t ) square random variable with r – s degrees of freedom, where r > s, by the Uniqueness Property for mgfs U has this distribution.  Therefore, mU (t ) = E ( e tU ) =  264  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  265 Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.6  a. Recall that by Theorem 7.3, ( ni − 1)S i2 / σ 2 is chi–square with ni – 1 degrees of  freedom. Since the samples are independent, by Ex. 6.59, SSE / σ 2 = ∑i =1 ( ni − 1) S i2 / σ 2 k  is chi–square with n – k degrees of freedom. b. If H0 is true, all of the observations are identically distributed since it was already assumed that the samples were drawn independently from normal populations with common variance. Thus, under H0, we can combine all of the samples to form an estimator for the common mean, Y , and an estimator for the common variance, given by TSS/(n – 1). By Theorem 7.3, TSS/σ2 is chi–square with n – 1 degrees of freedom. c. The result follows from Ex. 13.5: let W = TSS/σ2 where r = n – 1 and let V = SSE/σ2 where s = n – k. Now, SSE/σ2 is distributed as chi–square with n – k degrees of freedom and TSS/σ2 is distributed as chi–square under H0. Thus, U = SST/σ2 is chi–square under H0 with n – 1 – (n – k) = k – 1 degrees of freedom. d. Since SSE and TSS are independent, by Definition 7.3 SST σ 2 ( k − 1) MST F= = 2 SSE σ ( n − k ) MSE has an F–distribution with k – 1 numerator and n – k denominator degrees of freedom.

The alternative hypothesis at least one of the equalities does not hold. a. The summary statistics are: TSS = .035, SST = .015, and so SSE = .035 – .015 = .020. The mean squares are MST = .015/3 = .005 and MSE = .020/8 = .0025, so the F statistic is given by F = .005/.0025 = 2.00, with 3 numerator and 8 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 4.07, we fail to reject H0: there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the concrete mixes have equal mean strengths. b. Using the Applet, p–value = P(F > 2) = .19266.

The mean squares are MST = 641.8788/2 = 320.939 and MSE = 498.6667/8 = 62.333, so the F statistic is given by F = 320.939/62.333 = 5.148, with 2 numerator and 8 denominator degrees of freedom.

With α = .05, we would reject H0: at least one of the methods has a different mean score.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  267 Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.11 Since the three sample sizes are equal, y =  1 3  ( y1 + y 2 + y 3 ) =  1 3  (.93 + 1.21 + .92) = 1.02.  Thus, SST = n1 ∑i =1 ( y i − y ) 2 = 14∑i =1 ( y i − 1.02 ) 2 = .7588. Now, recall that the 3  3  "standard error of the mean" is given by s / n , so SSE can be found by SSE = 13[14(.04)2 + 14(.03)2 + 14(.04)2] = .7462. Thus, the mean squares are MST = .7588/2 = .3794 and MSE = .7462/39 = .019133, so that the F statistic is F = .3794/.019133 = 19.83 with 2 numerator and 39 denominator degrees of freedom. From Table 7, it is seen that p–value < .005, so at the .05 significance level we reject the null hypothesis that the mean bone densities are equal. 13.12 The test to be conducted is H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3, where μi is the mean percentage of Carbon 14 where the ith concentration of acetonitrile was applied, i = 1, 2, 3. The alternative hypothesis at least one of the equalities does not hold a. The summary statistics are: TSS = 235.219, SST = 174.106, and so SSE = 235.219 – 174.106 = 61.113. The mean squares are MST = 174.106/2 = 87.053 and MSE = 235.219/33 = 1.852, so the F statistic is given by F = 87.053/1.852 = 47.007, with 2 numerator and 33 denominator degrees of freedom.

Recall that μi = μ + τi for i = 1, …, k. If all τi's = 0, then all μi's = μ. Conversely, if μ1 = μ 2 = … = μ k , we have that μ + τ1 = μ + τ 2 = … = μ + τ k and τ1 = τ 2 = … = τ k .  Since it was assumed that  ∑  k  τ = 0, all τi's = 0. Thus, the null hypotheses are  i =1 i  equivalent. b. Consider μi = μ + τi and μi′ = μ + τi′. If μi ≠ μi′, then μ + τi ≠ μ + τi′ and thus τi ≠ τi′.  Since  ∑  k  τ = 0, at least one τi ≠ 0 (actually, there must be at least two). Conversely, let  i =1 i  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  269 Instructor's Solutions Manual  τi ≠ 0. Since  ∑  k  τ = 0, there must be at least one i′ such that τi ≠ τi′. With μi = μ + τi  i =1 i  and μi′ = μ + τi′, it must be so that μi ≠ μi′. Thus, the alternative hypotheses are equivalent. 13.20 a. First, note that y1 = 75.67 and s12 = 66.67. Then, with n1 = 6, a 95% CI is given by  75.67 ± 2.571 66.67 / 6 = 75.67 ± 8.57 or (67.10, 84.24). b. The interval computed above is longer than the one in Example 13.3. c. When only the first sample was used to estimate σ2, there were only 5 degrees of freedom for error. However, when all four samples were used, there were 14 degrees of freedom for error. Since the critical value t.025 is larger in the above, the CI is wider. 13.21 a. The 95% CI would be given by y1 − y 4 ± t.025 s14  where s14 =  ( n1 −1) s12 + ( n4 −1) s42 n1 + n4 − 2  1 n1  +  1 n4  ,  = 7.366. Since t.025 = 2.306 based on 8 degrees of freedom,  the 95% CI is − 12.08 ± 2.306(7.366 )  1 6  + 14 = –12.08 ± 10.96 or (–23.04, –1.12).  b. The CI computed above is longer. c. The interval computed in Example 13.4 was based on 19 degrees of freedom, and the critical value t.025 was smaller. 13.22 a. Based on Ex. 13.20 and 13.21, we would expect the CIs to be shorter when all of the data in the one–way layout is used. b. If the estimate of σ2 using only one sample is much smaller than the pooled estimate (MSE) – so that the difference in degrees of freedom is offset – the CI width using just one sample could be shorter. 13.23 From Ex. 13.7, the four sample means are (again, using R): > tapply(waste,plant,mean) A B C D 1.568 1.772 1.546 1.916 >  a. In the above, the sample mean for plant A is 1.568 and from Ex. 13.7, MSE = .0298 with 16 degrees of freedom. Thus, a 95% CI for the mean amount of polluting effluent per gallon for plant A is 1.568 ± 2.12 .0298 / 5 = 1.568 ± .164 or (1.404, 1.732). There is evidence that the plant is exceeding the limit since values larger than 1.5 lb/gal are contained in the CI. b. A 95% CI for the difference in mean polluting effluent for plants A and D is 1.568 − 1.916 ± 2.12 .0298( 25 ) = –.348 ± .231 or (–.579, –.117).  Since 0 is not contained in the CI, there is evidence that the means differ for the two plants.  www.elsolucionario.net 270  Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.24 From Ex. 13.8, the three sample means are (again, using R): > tapply(salary,type,mean) church private public 56.06 70.78 54.04  Also, MSE = 58.61 based on 12 degrees of freedom.

Thus, a 95% CI for the difference in mean CPU times for the two computers is 1.553 − 1.575 ± 2.571 .00045( 62 ) = –.022 ± .031 or (–.053, .009).  This is the same interval computed in Ex. 12.10(c). 13.53 From Ex. 13.42, MSE = 2 with 6 degrees of freedom and b = 3. Thus, the 95% CI is 7 − 5 ± 2.447 2( 23 ) = 2 ± 2.83. 13.54 From Ex. 13.45, MSE = 1.89 with 6 degrees of freedom and b = 4. Thus, the 90% CI is 16 − 12.5 ± 1.943 1.89( 24 ) = 3.5 ± 1.89 or (1.61, 5.39). 13.55 From Ex. 13.46, MSE = .0135 with 12 degrees of freedom and b = 4. The 95% CI is 2.689 − 2.544 ± 2.179 .0135( 24 ) = .145 ± .179. 13.56 From Ex. 13.47, MSE = 1.95139 with 9 degrees of freedom and b = 4. The 95% CI is 2 ± 2.262 1.95139( 24 ) = 2 ± 2.23.  This differs very little from the CI computed in Ex. 13.31(b) (without blocking). 13.57 From Ex. 13.49, MSE = 10.3716 with 12 degrees of freedom and b = 7. The 99% CI is 71.1 − 75.9 ± 3.055 10.3716( 72 ) = –4.8 ± 5.259. 13.58 Refer to Ex. 13.9. We require an error bound of no more than .02, so we need n such that 2 σ 2 ( 2n ) ≤ .02 ,  The best estimate of σ2 is MSE = .0025, so using this in the above we find that n ≥ 50. So the entire number of observations needed for the experiment is 4n ≥ 4(50) = 200.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  277 Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.59 Following Ex. 13.27(a), we require 2  σ2 nA  ≤ 10 , where 2 ≈ t.025. Estimating σ2 with MSE  = 62.333, the solution is nA ≥ 2.49, so at least 3 observations are necessary. 13.60 Following Ex. 13.27(c), we require 2 σ 2 ( n2 ) ≤ 20 where 2 ≈ t.025. Estimating σ2 with  MSE = 62.333, the solution is n ≥ 1.24, so at least 2 observations are necessary. The total number of observations that are necessary is 3n ≥ 6. 13.61 Following Ex. 13.45, we must find b, the number of locations (blocks), such that 2 σ 2 ( b2 ) ≤ 1 ,  where 2 ≈ t.025. Estimating σ2 with MSE = 1.89, the solution is b ≥ 15.12, so at least 16 locations must be used. The total number of locations needed in the experiment is at least 3(16) = 48. 13.62 Following Ex. 13.55, we must find b, the number of locations (blocks), such that 2 σ 2 ( b2 ) ≤ .5 ,  where 2 ≈ t.025. Estimating σ2 with MSE = 1.95139, the solution is b ≥ 62.44, so at least 63 locations are needed. 13.63 The CI lengths also depend on the sample sizes ni and ni′ , and since these are not equal, the intervals differ in length. 13.64 a. From Example 13.9, t.00417 = 2.9439. A 99.166% CI for μ1 – μ2 is 75.67 − 78.43 ± 2.9439(7.937) 16 + 17 = –2.76 ± 13.00.  2(12.63) = .97154 . 2(13.00) c. The ratios are equivalent (save roundoff error). b. The ratio is  d. If we divide the CI length for μ1 – μ3 (or equivalently the margin of error) found in Ex. 13.9 by the ratio given in part b above, a 99.166% CI for μ1 – μ3 can be found to be 4.84 ± 13.11/.97154 = 4.84 ± 13.49. 13.65 Refer to Ex. 13.13. Since there are three intervals, each should have confidence coefficient 1 – .05/3 = .9833. Since MSE = .4735 with 162 degrees of freedom, a critical value from the standard normal distribution can be used. So, since α = 1 – .9833 = .0167, we require zα/2 = z.00833 = 2.39. Thus, for pairs (i, j) of (1, 2), (1, 3) and (2, 3), the CIs are 1 ) or − 0.29 ± .294 (1, 2) : − 0.29 ± 2.39 .4735( 451 + 102  (1, 3) :  − 1.65 ± 2.39 .4735( 451 + 181 )  ( 2, 3) : − 1.36 ± 2.39 .4735(  1 102  +  1 18  )  or − 1.65 ± .459 . or − 1.36 ± .420  The simultaneous coverage rate is at least 95%. Note that only the interval for (1, 2) contains 0, suggesting that μ1 and μ2 could be equal.  www.elsolucionario.net 278  Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.66 In this case there are three pairwise comparisons to be made. Thus, the Bonferroni technique should be used with m = 3. 13.67 Refer to Ex. 13.45. There are three intervals to construct, so with α = .10, each CI should have confidence coefficient 1 – .10/3 = .9667. Since MSE = 1.89 with 6 degrees of freedom, we require t.0167 from this t–distribution. As a conservative approach, we will use t.01 = 3.143 since t.0167 is not available in Table 5 (thus, the simultaneous coverage rate is at least 94%). The intervals all have half width 3.143 1.89( 24 ) = 3.06 so that the  intervals are: (1, 2): –3.5 ± 3.06 (1, 3): .5 ± 3.06 (2, 3): 4.0 ± 3.06  or (–6.56, –.44) or (–2.56, 3.56) or (.94, 7.06)  13.68 Following Ex. 13.47, MSE = 1.95139 with 9 degrees of freedom. For an overall confidence level of 95% with 3 intervals, we require t.025/3 = t.0083. By approximating this with t.01, the half width of each interval is 2.821 1.95139( 24 ) = 2.79. The intervals are:  (1, 4): –2 ± 2.79 (2, 4): –1 ± 2.79 (3, 4): –.75 ± 2.79  or (–4.79, .79) or (–3.79, 1.79) or (–3.54, 2.04)  13.69 a. β0 + β3 is the mean response to treatment A in block III. b. β3 is the difference in mean responses to chemicals A and D in block III. 13.70 a.

The reduced model is Y = β0 + ε, so that X is simply a column vector of eleven 1's and ( X ′X ) −1 = 111 . Thus, β̂ = y = 76.3636. Thus, SSER = 65,286 – 64,145.455 = 1140.5455.

The full model is Y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + β4x4 + β5x5 +ε, where x1, x2, and x3 are dummy variables for blocks and x4 and x5 are dummy variables for treatments. It can be shown that SSEc = 2298 – 2286.6667 = 11.3333 with 12 – 6 = 6 degrees of freedom. The reduced model is Y = β0 + β4x4 + β5x5 +ε, and SSER = 2298 – 2225 = 73 with 12 – 3 = 9 degrees of freedom. Then, the reduced model F–test statistic .3333 ) / 3 = 10.88 with 3 numerator and 6 denominator degrees of freedom. is F = ( 7311−11.3333 /6 Since Since F.05 = 4.76, H0 is rejected: there is a difference due to location. 13.73 See Section 13.8. The experimental units within each block should be as homogenous as possible. 13.74 a. For the CRD, experimental units are randomly assigned to treatments. b. For the RBD, experimental units are randomly assigned the k treatments within each block. 13.75 a. Experimental units are the patches of skin, while the three people act as blocks. b. Here, MST = 1.18/2 = .59 and MSE = 2.24/4 = .56. Thus, to test for a difference in treatment means, calculate F = .59/.56 = 1.05 with 2 numerator and 4 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 6.94, we cannot conclude there is a difference. 13.76 Refer to Ex. 13.9. We have that CM = 58.08, TSS = .035, and SST = .015. Then, SSB = ( 8.9 ) 2 + ( 8.6 ) 2 + ( 8.9 ) 2 – CM = .015 with 2 degrees of freedom. The ANOVA table is below: 4  Source d.f SS MS F Treatments 3 .015 .00500 6.00 Blocks 2 .015 .00750 9.00 Error 6 .005 .000833 Total 11 .035 a. To test for a "sand" effect, this is determined by an F–test for blocks. From the ANOVA table F = 9.00 with 2 numerator and 6 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 5.14, we can conclude that the type of sand is important. b. To test for a "concrete type" effect, from the ANOVA table F = 6.00 with 3 numerator and 6 denominator degrees of freedom. Since F.05 = 4.76, we can conclude that the type of concrete mix used is important. c. Compare the sizes of SSE from Ex. 13.9 and what was calculated here. Since the experimental error was estimated to be much larger in Ex. 13.9 (by ignoring a block effect), the test for treatment effect was not significant. 13.77 Refer to Ex. 13.76 a. A 95% CI is given by 2.25 − 2.166 ± 2.447 .000833( 23 ) = .084 ± .06 or (.024, .144). b. Since the SSE has been reduced by accounting for a block effect, the precision has been improved.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  281 Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.78 a. This is not a randomized block design. There are 9 treatments (one level of drug 1 and one level of drug 2). Since both drugs are factors, there could be interaction present. b. The second design is similar to the first, except that there are two patients assigned to each treatment in a completely randomized design. 13.79 a. We require 2σ  1 n  ≤ 10 , so that n ≥ 16.  b. With 16 patients assigned to each of the 9 treatments, there are 16(9) – 9 = 135 degrees of freedom left for error. c. The half width, using t.025 ≈ 2, is given by 2( 20) 161 + 161 = 14.14. 13.80 In this experiment, the car model is the treatment and the gasoline brand is the block. Here, we will use R to analyze the data: > > > >  distance <- c(22.4, 20.8, 21.5, 17.0, 19.4, 18.7, 19.2, 20.2, 21.2) model <- factor(c("A","A","A","B","B","B","C","C","C")) gasoline <- factor(c("X","Y","Z","X","Y","Z","X","Y","Z")) summary(aov(distance ~ model + gasoline)) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) model 2 15.4689 7.7344 6.1986 0.05951 . gasoline 2 1.3422 0.6711 0.5378 0.62105 Residuals 4 4.9911 1.2478 --Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1  a. To test for a car model effect, the F–test statistic is F = 6.1986 and by the p–value this is not significant at the α = .05 level. b. To test for a gasoline brand effect, the F–test statistic is F = .5378. With a p–value of .62105, this is not significant and so gasoline brand does not affect gas mileage. 13.81 Following Ex. 13.81, the R output is > summary(aov(distance~model)) Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) model 2 15.4689 7.7344 7.3274 0.02451 * Residuals 6 6.3333 1.0556 --Signif. codes: 0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1  a. To test for a car model effect, the F–test statistic is F = 6.1986 with p–value = .02451. Thus, with α = .05, we can conclude that the car model has an effect on gas mileage. b. In the RBD, SSE was reduced (somewhat) but 2 degrees of freedom were lost. Thus MSE is larger in the RBD than in the CRD. c. The CRD randomly assigns treatments to experimental units. In the RBD, treatments are randomly assigned to experimental units within each block, and this is not the same randomization procedure as a CRD. 13.82 a. This is a completely randomized design. b. The sums of squares are: TSS = 183.059, SST = 117.642, and SSE = 183.059 – 117.642 = 65.417.

To test for a dog effect, the F–test has F = 56.95 with 3 numerator and 6 denominator degrees of freedom. From Table 7, p–value < .005 so this is significant. e. The standard deviation of the difference between the mean calcium uptake for two levels of digitalis is s n1i + n1j = 1014.9167( 14 + 14 ) = 22.527. f. The CI is given by 1165.25 − 1402.5 ± 2.447( 22.53) = –237.25 ± 55.13. 13.84 We require 2 σ 2 ( b2 ) ≤ 20 . From Ex. 13.83, we can estimate σ2 with MSE = 1014.9167  so that the solution is b ≥ 20.3. Thus, at least 21 replications are required. 13.85 The design is completely randomized with five treatments, containing 4, 7, 6, 5, and 5 measurements respectively. a.

With F.05 = 3.25, we can reject the null hypothesis that the mean reaction times are equal. 13.87 Each interval should have confidence coefficient 1 – .05/4 = .9875 ≈ .99. Thus, with 12 degrees of freedom, we will use the critical value t.005 = 3.055 so that the intervals have a half width given by 3.055 .0135( 24 ) = .251.

A similar expansion will shown that part (3) is also equal to 0, proving the result. 13.89 a. We have that Yij and Yij′ are normally distributed. Thus, they are independent if their covariance is equal to 0 (recall that this only holds for the normal distribution). Thus, Cov(Yij , Yij′ ) = Cov(μ + τ i + β j + ε ij , μ + τ i + β j′ + ε ij′ ) = Cov(β j + ε ij , β j′ + ε ij′ )  = Cov(β j , β j′ ) + Cov(β j , ε ij′ ) + Cov(ε ij , β j ′ ) + Cov( ε ij , ε ij′ ) = 0, by independence specified in the model. The result is similar for Yij and Yi′j′ . b.

When σ 2B = 0, Cov(Yij , Yi′j ) = 0. 13.90 a. From the model description, it is clear that E(Yij) = μ + τi and V(Yij) = σ 2B + σ ε2 . b.

Two such linear functions, say Li  and Lk are pairwise orthogonal if and only if  ∑  n j =1  aij a kj = 0 and so Li and Lk are  independent (see Chapter 5). Let L1, L2, …, Ln be the n linear functions in AY. The constants aij, j = 1, 2, …, n are the elements of the ith row of the matrix A. Moreover, if any two rows of the matrix A are multiplied together, the result is zero (try it!).

Thus, m X 1 (t ) = (1 − 2t ) − ( n −1) / 2 and this is seen to be the mgf for the chi–square distribution with n – 1 degrees of freedom, proving the result.  www.elsolucionario.net 286  Chapter 13: The Analysis of Variance  Instructor's Solutions Manual  13.94 a.

A 95% (large sample) CI for p1 – p4 is .294(.706 ) + .192(.808) + 2(.294 )(.192 ) = .102 ± .043 or (.059, .145). 1000 There is evidence that a greater proportion use the "slow" lane since the CI does not contain 0. .294 − .192 ± 1.96  14.8  The hypotheses are H0: ratio is 9:3:3:1 vs. Ha: not H0.

Since χ.205 = 7.81473, we fail to reject H0: there is not enough evidence to conclude the ratio is not 9:3:3:1.  14.9  a. From Ex. 14.8, pˆ 1 = .56 and pˆ 3 = .17 . A 95% (large sample) CI for p1 – p3 is .56 − .17 ± 1.96  .56(.44 ) + .17(.83) + 2(.56 )(.17) = .39 ± .149 or (.241, .539). 100  b. There are three intervals to construct: p1 – p2, p1 – p3, and p1 – p4. So that the simultaneous confidence coefficient is at least 95%, each interval should have confidence coefficient 1 – (.05/3) = .98333. Thus, we require the critical value z.00833 = 2.39. The three intervals are .56(.44 ) + .19(.81) + 2(.56 )(.19 ) = .37 ± .187 .56 − .19 ± 2.39 100 .56 − .17 ± 2.39  .56(.44 ) + .17(.83) + 2(.56 )(.17) = .39 ± .182 100  .56 − .08 ± 2.39  .56(.44 ) + .08(.92 ) + 2(.56 )(.08) = .48 ± .153. 100  www.elsolucionario.net 290  Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.10 The hypotheses of interest are H0: p1 = .5, p2 = .2, p3 = .2, p4 = .1 vs. Ha: not H0. The observed and expected counts are:  defect 1 2 3 4 observed 48 18 21 13 expected 50 20 20 10 It is found that X2 = 1.23 with 3 degrees of freedom. Since χ .205 = 7.81473, we fail to reject H0; there is not enough evidence to conclude the proportions differ. 14.11 This is similar to Example 14.2. The hypotheses are H0: Y is Poisson(λ) vs. Ha: not H0. 1 Using y to estimate λ, calculate y = 400 Σ i y i f i = 2.44. The expected cell counts are yi estimated as Eˆ ( n ) = npˆ = 400 ( 2.44 ) exp( −2.44 ) . However, after Y = 7, the expected cell i  yi !  i  count drops below 5. So, the final group will be compiled as {Y ≥ 7}.

Since χ .205 = 12.59, we can reject H0 and conclude that the observations do not follow a Poisson distribution. 1 14.12 This is similar to Ex. 14.11. First, y = 414 Σ i y i f i = 0.48309.

Using the Applet, p–value = P(χ2 > 18.711) = .00090. d.

Since χ .205 = 9.48773, we can conclude that there is evidence of a dependence between frequency of church attendance and choice of presidential candidate. b. Let p = proportion of individuals who report attending church at least once a week. +87 + 68 = .3803.

From Table 6, p–value < .005. 14.20 We can rearrange the data into a 2 × 2 contingency table by just considering the type A and B defects:  www.elsolucionario.net 294  Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  Instructor's Solutions Manual  Total B B 48 18 66 A (45.54) (20.46) 21 13 34 A (23.46) (10.54) Total 69 31 100 Then, X2 = 1.26 with 1 degree of freedom.

Let p1 = probability that a treated patient improves and let p2 = probability that an untreated patient improves. The hypotheses are H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 ≠ 0. Using the procedure from Section 10.3 (derived in Ex. 10.27), we have p̂1 = 117/200 = .585, p̂ 2 = 74/200 = .37, and the "pooled" estimator pˆ = 117400+ 74 = .4775, the test statistic is pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 .585 − .37 = 4.3. z= = 2 ) pˆ qˆ n11 + n12 .4775(.5225)( 200  (  )  Since the rejection region is |z| > 1.96, we soundly reject H0. Note that z2 = X2. c. From Table 6, p–value < .005.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  295 Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.23 To test H0: p1 – p2 = 0 vs. Ha: p1 – p2 ≠ 0, the test statistic is pˆ 1 − pˆ 2 , Z= pˆ qˆ n11 + n12  (  )  from Section 10.3.

The hypotheses were H0: independence of classification vs. Ha: dependence of classification. If H0 is true, then p1 = p2 (serum has no affect). Denote the contingency table as pˆ =  Treated Untreated Total Improved n11 + n12 n11 = n1 p̂1 n12 = n 2 p̂ 2 Not Improved n21 = n1 q̂1 n21 + n22 n22 = n 2 q̂ 2 Total n11 + n21 = n1 n12 + n22 = n2 n1 + n2 = n The expected counts are found as follows. Eˆ ( n11 ) =  ( n11 + n12 )( n11 + n21 ) n1 + n2  =  ( y1 + y 2 )( n11 + n21 ) n1 + n2  = n1 pˆ .  So similarly, Eˆ ( n 21 ) = n1 qˆ , Eˆ ( n12 ) = n2 pˆ , and Eˆ ( n 22 ) = n2 qˆ . Then, the X2 statistic can be expressed as n 2 ( pˆ − pˆ ) 2 n12 ( qˆ1 − qˆ ) 2 n 22 ( pˆ 2 − pˆ ) 2 n 22 ( qˆ 2 − qˆ ) 2 + + + X2 = 1 1 n1 pˆ n1 qˆ n 2 pˆ n 2 qˆ n1 ( pˆ 1 − pˆ ) 2 n1 [(1 − pˆ 1 ) − (1 − pˆ )]2 n 2 ( pˆ 2 − pˆ ) 2 n 2 [(1 − pˆ 2 ) − (1 − pˆ )]2 + + + pˆ qˆ pˆ qˆ 2 n ( pˆ − pˆ ) n ( pˆ − pˆ ) 2 + 2 2 .

Thus, we require the critical value z.004167 = 2.638. The six intervals are: p1 – p2: p1 – p3: p1 – p4: p2 – p3: p2 – p4: p3 – p4:  –.08 ± .112 –.14 ± .116 –.22 ± .119 –.06 ± .122 –.14 ± .124 –.08 ± .128  (*) (*) (*)  iii. By considering the intervals that do not contain 0, these are noted by (*). 14.25 a. Three populations (income categories) are under investigation. In each population, members are classified as one out of the four education levels, thus creating the multinomial. b. X2 = 19.1723 with 6 degrees of freedom, and p-value = 0.003882 so reject H0. c. The sample proportions are: • at least an undergraduate degree and marginally rich: 55/100 = .55 • at least an undergraduate degree and super rich: 66/100.66 The 95% CI is .55 − .66 ± 1.96  .55(.45 ) 100  (.34 ) + .66100 = –.11 ± .135.  14.26 a.

Since χ .205 = 5.99, we can reject the claim that the machines produce the same proportion of defectives. b.

Again, since χ .205 = 5.99, we can reject the claim that the machines produce the same proportion of defectives.  14.27 This exercise is similar to the others. Here, X2 = 38.429 with 6 degrees of freedom. Since χ .205 = 12.59, we can conclude that age and probability of finding nodules are dependent. 14.28 a. The chi–square statistic is X2 = 10.2716 with 1 degree of freedom. Since χ .205 = 3.84, we can conclude that the proportions in the two plants are different. b. The 95% lower bound is .73 − .51 − 1.645  .73(.27 ) 100  (.49 ) = .22 – .11 = .11. + .51100  Since the lower bound is greater than 0, this gives evidence that the proportion at the plant with active worker participation is greater. c.

Using the above, it is found that X2 = 14.19 with 3 degrees of freedom and since χ .205 = 7.81, we can conclude that there is a difference in the proportions of lung disease for the four locations. b. It is known that cigarette smoking contributes to lung disease. If more smokers live in urban areas (which is possibly true), this could confound our results. Thus, smokers should probably be excluded from the study.  www.elsolucionario.net 298  Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.30 The CI is .085 − .105 ± 1.96 14.31  .085(.915 ) 400  (.895 ) + .105400 = –.02 ± .041.

From the above, we fail to reject the hypothesis that position played and knee injury type are independent. b. From the above, p–value = .3076. c. From the above, p–value = .3076. 14.37 The hypotheses are H0: Y is binomial(4, p) vs. Ha: Y isn't binomial(4, p). The probability mass function is p( y ) = P(Y = y ) = 4y p y (1 − p ) 4− y , y = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.  ()  Similar to Example 14.2, we can estimate p by using the MLE (see Chapter 10; think of this as an experiment with 400 trials): of successes 0 (11) +1(17 ) + 2 ( 42 ) + 3( 21) + 4 ( 9 ) pˆ = number = .5 number of trials = 400 So, the expected counts are Eˆ ( ni ) = 100 pˆ (i ) = observed and expected cell counts are below.  ni Eˆ ( ni )  ( )(.5) (.5) 4 i  i  4 −i  =  ( )(.5) 4 i  4  , i = 0, …, 4.

Thus, we can reject H0 and conclude the data does not follow as binomial.  www.elsolucionario.net 300  Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.38 a. The likelihood function is  L(θ) = ( −1) [ln(1 − θ)] n  −n  θ Σyi . Πy i  So, ln L( θ) = k − n ln[ln(1 − θ)] + (ln θ)∑i =1 y i where k is a quantity that does not depend n  on θ.

The hypotheses are H0: data follow as logarithmic series vs. Ha: not H0. From the + 3( 57 ) +…+ 7 ( 29 ) = 2.105. Thus, to estimate θ, we must solve the table, y = 1( 359 )+ 2(146 )675 θˆ , or equivalently we must find the root of nonlinear equation 2.105 = − (1 − θˆ ) ln(1 − θˆ )  2.105(1 − θˆ ) ln(1 − θˆ ) + θˆ = 0. By getting some help from R, > uniroot(function(x) x + 2.101*(1-x)*log(1-x),c(.0001,.9999)) $root [1] 0.7375882  Thus, we will use θ̂ = .7376. The probabilities are estimated as (.7376 ) 2 ˆ ˆ pˆ (1) = − ln(1.7376 −.7376 ) = .5513, p( 2 ) = − 2 ln(1−.7376 ) = .2033, p( 3) = .1000 , pˆ ( 4) = .0553 , pˆ (5) = .0326 , pˆ (6) = .0201 , pˆ (7, 8, …) = .0374 (by subtraction) The expected counts are obtained by multiplying these estimated probabilities by the total sample size of 675.

Since χ .205 = 11.07, we fail to reject H0.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  301 Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.39 Consider row i as a single cell with ri observations falling in the cell. Then, r1, r2, … rr follow a multinomial distribution so that the likelihood function is L( p ) =  (  n r1 r2  rr  )p  r1 1  p 2r2 … p rrr .  so that ln L( p ) = k + ∑ j =1 r j ln p j , r  ∑ = n−∑  where k does not involve any parameters and this is subject to this restriction, we can substitute p r = 1 − ∑ j =1 p j and rr r −1  (  r  j =1  )(  p j = 1. Because of  r −1  r . Thus,  j =1 j  )  ln L( p ) = k + ∑ j =1 r j ln p j + n − ∑ j =1 r j ln 1 − ∑ j =1 p j . r −1  r −1  r −1  Thus, the n – 1 equations to solve are n − ∑ j =1 r j ∂ ln L ri = − =0, ∂pi pi 1 − ∑r −1 p j j =1 r −1  (  or equivalently  (  )  ) (  )  ri 1 − ∑ j =1 p j = pi n − ∑ j =1 r j , i = 1, 2, …, r – 1. r −1  r −1  (*)  In order to solve these simultaneously, add them together to obtain  ∑  r −1  Thus,  ∑  r −1  (  r = n ∑i =1 pi and so r −1  i =1 i  r −1  )  pˆ i =  1 n  (  r 1 − ∑ j =1 p j = ∑i =1 pi n − ∑ j =1 r j  i =1 i  ∑  r −1  i =1  r −1  ∑  r −1  r −1  )  r . Substituting this into (*) above  i =1 i  yields the desired result.  14.40 a. The model specifies a trinomial distribution with p1 = p2, p2 = 2p(1 – p), p3 = (1 – p)2. Hence, the likelihood function is L( p ) = n1 !nn2!!n3 ! p 2 n1 [ 2 p(1 − p )]n2 (1 − p ) 2 n3 .  The student should verify that the MLE for p is pˆ = 2 n21 +nn2 . Using the given data, p̂ = .5 and the (estimated) expected cell counts are Eˆ ( n ) = 100(.5)2 = 25, Eˆ ( n ) = 50, and 1  2  Eˆ ( n 3 ) = 25. Using these, we find that X2 = 4 with 3 – 1 – 1 = 1 degree of freedom.  Thus, since χ .205 = 3.84 we reject H0: there is evidence that the model is incorrect. b. If the model specifies p = .5, it is not necessary to find the MLE as above. Thus, X2 will have 3 – 1 = 2 degrees of freedom. The computed test statistic has the same value as in part a, but since χ .205 = 5.99, H0 is not rejected in this case.  www.elsolucionario.net 302  Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.41 The problem describes a multinomial experiment with k = 4 cells. Under H0, the four cell probabilities are p1 = p/2, p2 = p2/2 + pq, p3 = q/2, and p4 = q2/2, but p = 1 – q. To obtain an estimate of p, the likelihood function is L = C ( p / 2) n1 ( p 2 / 2 + pq ) n2 ( q / 2) n3 ( q 2 / 2) n4 , where C is the multinomial coefficient. By substituting q = 1 – p, this simplifies to L = Cp n1 + n2 ( 2 − p ) n2 (1 − p ) n3 + 2 n4 . By taking logarithms, a first derivative, and setting the expression equal to 0, we obtain  ( n1 + 2n2 + n3 + 2n 4 ) p 2 − (3n1 + 4n 2 + 2n3 + 4n 4 ) p + 2( n1 + n2 ) = 0 (after some algebra). So, the MLE for p is the root of this quadratic equation. Using the 1, 941, 760 supplied data and the quadratic formula, the valid solution is pˆ = 6960 − 6080 = .9155. Now, the estimated cell probabilities and estimated expected cell counts can be found by: ni p̂i Eˆ ( ni )  pˆ / 2 = .45775 915.50 880 2 pˆ / 2 + pˆ qˆ = .49643 992.86 1032 qˆ / 2 = .04225 84.50 80 7.14 8 qˆ 2 / 2 = .00357 Then, X2 = 3.26 with 4 – 1 – 1 = 2 degrees of freedom. Since χ .205 = 5.99, the hypothesized model cannot be rejected. 14.42 Recall that from the description of the problem, it is required that  ∑  p = ∑i =1 pi* = 1 . i =1 i k  k  The likelihood function is given by (multiplication of two multinomial mass functions)  ( )  L = C ∏ j =1 p j j p *j k  n  mj  ,  where C are the multinomial coefficients. Now under H0, this simplifies to k n +m L0 = C ∏ j =1 p j j j . This is a special case of Ex. 14.39, so the MLEs are pˆ i = nni ++ mmi and the estimated expected n +m counts are Eˆ ( ni ) = npˆ i = n ni + m i and Eˆ ( mi ) = mpˆ i = m nni ++ mmi for i = 1, …, k. The chi–  (  )  ( )  square test statistic is given by X  2  [n − n( )] + [m − m( )] =∑ ) ∑ m( ) n( k  j =1  i  ni + mi n+m ni + mi n+m  2  k  j =1  i  ni + mi n+m ni + mi n+m  2  which has a chi–square distribution with 2k – 2 – (k – 1) = k – 1 degrees of freedom. Two degrees of freedom are lost due the two conditions first mentioned in the solution of this problem, and k – 1 degrees of freedom are lost in the estimation of cell probabilities. Hence, a rejection region will be based on k – 1 degrees of freedom in the chi–square distribution.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 14: Analysis of Categorical Data  303 Instructor's Solutions Manual  14.43 In this exercise there are 4 binomial experiments, one at each of the four dosage levels. So, with i = 1, 2, 3, 4, and pi represents the binomial (success probability) parameter for dosage i, we have that pi = 1 + βi. Thus, in order to estimate β, we form the likelihood function (product of four binomial mass functions): 4 ⎛1000 ⎞ 4 ⎛1000 ⎞ ⎟⎟(1 + iβ) ni ( −iβ)1000 − ni = K ∏i =1 ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟(1 + iβ) ni β1000 − ni , L(β) = ∏i =1 ⎜⎜ ⎝ ni ⎠ ⎝ ni ⎠  where K is a constant that does not involve β. Then, in 4 dL(β) 1 4 = ∑i =1 i + ∑i =1 (1000 − ni ) . dβ 1 + iβ β By equating this to 0, we obtain a nonlinear function of β that must be solved numerically (to find the root). Below is the R code that does the job; note that in the association of β with probability and the dose levels, β must be contained in (–.25, 0): > mle <- function(x) + { + ni <- c(820,650,310,50) + i <- 1:4 + temp <- sum(1000-ni) + return(sum(i*ni/(1+i*x))+temp/x) + } > > uniroot(mle, c(-.2499,-.0001)) <– guessed range for the parameter $root [1] -0.2320990  Thus, we take βˆ = −.232 and so:  pˆ 1 = 1 − .232 = .768 pˆ 2 = 1 + 2( −.232 ) = .536, pˆ 3 = 1 + 3( −.232 ) = .304 pˆ 4 = 1 + 4( −.232 ) = .072.  The observed and (estimated) expected cell counts are Dosage Survived Died  1 2 3 4 820 650 320 50 (768) (536) (304) (72) 180 350 690 950 (232) (464) (696) (928)  The chi–square test statistic is X2 = 74.8 with 8 – 4 – 1 = 3 degrees of freedom (see note below). Since χ .205 = 7.81, we can soundly reject the claim that p = 1 + βD. Note: there are 8 cells, but 5 restrictions:  • pi + qi = 1 for i = 1, 2, 3, 4 • estimation of β.  www.elsolucionario.net  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics 15.1  Let Y have a binomial distribution with n = 25 and p = .5. For the two–tailed sign test, the test rejects for extreme values (either too large or too small) of the test statistic whose null distribution is the same as Y. So, Table 1 in Appendix III can be used to define rejection regions that correspond to various significant levels. Thus: Rejection region α Y ≤ 6 or Y ≥ 19 P(Y ≤ 6) + P(Y ≥ 19) = .014 Y ≤ 7 or Y ≥ 18 P(Y ≤ 7) + P(Y ≥ 18) = .044 Y ≤ 8 or Y ≥ 17 P(Y ≤ 8) + P(Y ≥ 17) = .108  15.2  Let p = P(blood levels are elevated after training). We will test H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p > .5. 17 17 17 = 0.0012. a. Since m = 15, so p–value = P(M ≥ 15) = 17 + 17 + 17 15 .5 16 .5 16 .5 b. Reject H0. c. P(M ≥ 15) = P(M > 14.5) ≈ P(Z > 2.91) = .0018, which is very close to part a.  15.3  Let p = P(recovery rate for A exceeds B). We will test H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p ≠ .5. The data are: Hospital A B Sign(A – B) 1 75.0 85.4 – 2 69.8 83.1 – 3 85.7 80.2 + 4 74.0 74.5 – 5 69.0 70.0 – 6 83.3 81.5 + 7 68.9 75.4 – 8 77.8 79.2 – 9 72.2 85.4 – 10 77.4 80.4 –  ( )  ( )  ( )  a. From the above, m = 2 so the p–value is given by 2P(M ≤ 2) = .110. Thus, in order to reject H0, it would have been necessary that the significance level α ≥ .110. Since this is fairly large, H0 would probably not be rejected. b. The t–test has a normality assumption that may not be appropriate for these data. Also, since the sample size is relatively small, a large–sample test couldn't be used either. 15.4  a. Let p = P(school A exceeds school B in test score). For H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p ≠ .5, the test statistic is M = # of times school A exceeds school B in test score. From the table, we find m = 7. So, the p–value = 2P(M ≥ 7) = 2P(M ≤ 3) = 2(.172) = .344. With α = .05, we fail to reject H0. b. For the one–tailed test, H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p > .5. Here, the p–value = P(M ≥ 7) = .173 so we would still fail to reject H0. 304  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  305 Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.5  Let p = P(judge favors mixture B). For H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p ≠ .5, the test statistic is M = # of judges favoring mixture B. Since the observed value is m = 2, p–value = 2P(M ≤ 2) = 2(.055) = .11. Thus, H0 is not rejected at the α = .05 level.  15.6  a. Let p = P(high elevation exceeds low elevation). For H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p > .5, the test statistic is M = # of nights where high elevation exceeds low elevation. Since the observed value is m = 9, p–value = P(M ≥ 9) = .011. Thus, the data favors Ha. b. Extreme temperatures, such as the minimum temperatures in this example, often have skewed distributions, making the assumptions of the t–test invalid.  15.7  a. Let p = P(response for stimulus 1 is greater that for stimulus 2). The hypotheses are H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p > .5, and the test statistic is M = # of times response for stimulus 1 exceeds stimulus 2. If it is required that α ≤ .05, note that P(M ≤ 1) + P(M ≥ 8) = .04, where M is binomial(n = 9, p = .5) under H0. Our rejection region is the set {0, 1, 8, 9}. From the table, m = 2 so we fail to reject H0. b. The proper test is the paired t–test. So, with H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 – μ2 ≠ 0, the summary statistics are d = –1.022 and s D2 = 3.467, the computed test statistic is  |t | =  −1.022 3.467 9  = 1.65 with 8 degrees of freedom. Since t.025 = 2.306, we fail to reject H0.  15.8  Let p = P(B exceeds A). For H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p ≠ .5, the test statistic is M = # of technicians for which B exceeds A with n = 7 (since one tied pair is deleted). The observed value of M is 1, so the p–value = 2P(M ≤ 1) = .125, so H0 is not rejected.  15.9  a. Since two pairs are tied, n = 10. Let p = P(before exceeds after) so that H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p > .5. From the table, m = 9 so the p–value is P(M ≥ 9) = .011. Thus, H0 is not rejected with α = .01. b. Since the observations are counts (and thus integers), the paired t–test would be inappropriate due to its normal assumption.  15.10 There are n ranks to be assigned. Thus, T+ + T– = sum of all ranks =  ∑  n  i =1  i = n(n+1)/2  (see Appendix I). 15.11 From Ex. 15.10, T– = n(n+1)/2 – T+. If T+ > n(n+1)/4, it must be so that T– < n(n+1)/4. Therefore, since T = min(T+, T–), T = T–. 15.12 a. Define di to be the difference between the math score and the art score for the ith student, i = 1, 2, …, 15. Then, T+ = 14 and T– = 106. So, T = 14 and from Table 9, since 14 < 16, p–value < .01. Thus H0 is rejected. b. H0: identical population distributions for math and art scores vs. Ha: population distributions differ by location.  www.elsolucionario.net 306  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.13 Define di to be the difference between school A and school B. The differences, along with the ranks of |di| are given below.  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 28 5 –4 15 12 –2 7 9 –3 13 di rank |di| 13 4 3 9 7 1 5 6 2 8 Then, T+ = 49 and T– = 6 so T = 6. Indexing n = 10 in Table 9, .02 < T < .05 so H0 would be rejected if α = .05. This is a different decision from Ex. 15.4 15.14 Using the data from Ex. 15.6, T– = 1 and T+ = 54, so T = 1. From Table 9, p–value < .005 for this one–tailed test and thus H0 is rejected. 15.15 Here, R is used: > x <- c(126,117,115,118,118,128,125,120) > y <- c(130,118,125,120,121,125,130,120) > wilcox.test(x,y,paired=T,alt="less",correct=F) Wilcoxon signed rank test data: x and y V = 3.5, p-value = 0.0377 alternative hypothesis: true mu is less than 0  The test statistic is T = 3.5 so H0 is rejected with α = .05. 15.16 a. The sign test statistic is m = 8. Thus, p–value = 2P(M ≥ 8) = .226 (computed using a binomial with n = 11 and p = .5). H0 should not be rejected. b. For the Wilcoxon signed–rank test, T+ = 51.5 and T– = 14.5 with n = 11. With α = .05, the rejection region is {T ≤ 11} so H0 is not rejected. 15.17 From the sample, T+ = 44 and T– = 11 with n = 10 (two ties). With T = 11, we reject H0 with α = .05 using Table 9. 15.18 Using the data from Ex. 12.16:  3 6.1 2 4 2.5 8.9 .8 4.2 9.8 3.3 2.3 3.7 2.5 –1.8 7.5 di |di| 3 6.1 2 4 2.5 8.9 .8 4.2 9.8 3.3 2.3 3.7 2.5 1.8 7.5 rank 7 12 3 10 5.5 14 1 11 15 8 4 9 5.5 2 13 Thus, T+ = 118 and T– = 2 with n = 15. From Table 9, since T– < 16, p–value < .005 (a one–tailed test) so H0 is rejected. 15.19 Recall for a continuous random variable Y, the median ξ is a value such that P(Y > ξ) = P(Y < ξ) = .5. It is desired to test H0: ξ = ξ0 vs. Ha: ξ ≠ ξ0.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  307 Instructor's Solutions Manual  a. Define Di = Yi – ξ0 and let M = # of negative differences. Very large or very small values of M (compared against a binomial distribution with p = .5) lead to a rejection. b. As in part a, define Di = Yi – ξ0 and rank the Di according to their absolute values according to the Wilcoxon signed–rank test. 15.20 Using the results in Ex. 15.19, we have H0: ξ = 15,000 vs. Ha: ξ > 15,000 The differences di = yi – 15000 are:  –200 1900 3000 4100 –1800 3500 5000 4200 100 1500 di |di| 200 1900 3000 4100 1800 3500 5000 4200 100 1500 rank 2 5 6 8 4 7 10 9 1 3 a. With the sign test, m = 2, p–value = P(M ≤ 2) = .055 (n = 10) so H0 is rejected. b. T+ = 49 and T– = 6 so T = 6. From Table 9, .01 < p–value < .025 so H0 is rejected. 15.21 a. U = 4(7) + 12 ( 4)(5) – 34 = 4. Thus, the p–value = P(U ≤ 4) = .0364 b. U = 5(9) + 12 (5)(6) – 25 = 35. Thus, the p–value = P(U ≥ 35) = P(U ≤ 10) = .0559. c. U = 3(6) + 12 ( 3)( 4) – 23 = 1. Thus, p–value = 2P(U ≤ 1) = 2(.0238) = .0476 15.22  To test:  H0: the distributions of ampakine CX–516 are equal for the two groups Ha: the distributions of ampakine CX–516 differ by a shift in location  The samples of ranks are: Age group 20s 20 11 7.5 14 7.5 16.5 2 18.5 3.5 7.5 WA = 108 65–70 1 16.5 7.5 14 11 14 5 11 18.5 3.5 WB = 102 Thus, U = 100 + 10(11)/2 – 108 = 47. By Table 8, p–value = 2P(U ≤ 47) > 2P(U ≤ 39) = 2(.2179) = .4358. Thus, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population distributions of ampakine CX–516 are different for the two age groups. 15.23 The hypotheses to be tested are: H0: the population distributions for plastics 1 and 2 are equal Ha: the populations distributions differ by location  The data (with ranks in parentheses) are: Plastic 1 15.3 (2) 18.7 (6) 22.3 (10) 17.6 (4) 19.1 (7) 14.8 (1) Plastic 2 21.2 (9) 22.4 (11) 18.3 (5) 19.3 (8) 17.1 (3) 27.7 (12) By Table 8 with n1 = n2 = 6, P(U ≤ 7) = .0465 so α = 2(.0465) = .093. The two possible values for U are UA = 36 + 6(27 ) − W A = 27 and UB = 36 + 6 (27 ) − WB = 9. So, U = 9 and thus H0 is not rejected.  www.elsolucionario.net 308  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual ) 9 (10 ) 15.24 a. Here, UA = 81 + 9 (10 2 − W A = 126 – 94 = 32 and UB = 81 + 2 − W B = 126 – 77 = 49. Thus, U = 32 and by Table 8, p–value = 2P(U ≤ 32) = 2(.2447) = .4894.  b. By conducting the two sample t–test, we have H0: μ1 – μ2 = 0 vs. Ha: μ1 = μ2 ≠ 0. The summary statistics are y1 = 8.267 , y 2 = 8.133 , and s 2p = .8675 . The computed test stat.  is | t |=  .1334 ⎛2⎞ .8675 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝9⎠  = .30 with 16 degrees of freedom. By Table 5, p–value > 2(.1) = .20 so  H0 is not rejected. c. In part a, we are testing for a shift in distribution. In part b, we are testing for unequal means. However, since in the t–test it is assumed that both samples were drawn from normal populations with common variance, under H0 the two distributions are also equal. 15.25 With n1 = n2 = 15, it is found that WA = 276 and WB = 189. Note that although the actual failure times are not given, they are not necessary: WA = [1 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 13 + 15 + 20 + 21 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30] = 276. Thus, U = 354 – 276 = 69 and since E(U) = n12n2 = 112.5 and V(U) = 581.25, −112.5 z = 69581 = –1.80. .25  Since –1.80 < –z.05 = –1.645, we can conclude that the experimental batteries have a longer life. 15.26 R: > DDT <- c(16,5,21,19,10,5,8,2,7,2,4,9) > Diaz <- c(7.8,1.6,1.3) > wilcox.test(Diaz,DDT,correct=F) Wilcoxon rank sum test data: Diaz and DDT W = 6, p-value = 0.08271 alternative hypothesis: true mu is not equal to 0  With α = .10, we can reject H0 and conclude a difference between the populations. 15.27 Calculate UA = 4(6) + 4(25 ) − W A = 34 – 34 = 0 and UB = 4(6) + 6 (27 ) − WB = 45 – 21 = 24. Thus, we use U = 0 and from Table 8, p–value = 2P(U ≤ 0) = 2(.0048) = .0096. So, we would reject H0 for α ≈ .10. 15.28 Similar to previous exercises. With n1 = n2 = 12, the two possible values for U are UA = 144 + 12(213) − 89.5 = 132.5 and UB = 144 + 12(213) − 210.5 = 11.5, but since it is required to detect a shift of the "B" observations to the right of the "A" observations, we let U = UA = 132.5. Here, we can use the large–sample approximation. 5− 72 The test statistic is z = 132.300 = 3.49, and since 3.49 > z.05 = 1.645, we can reject H0 and  conclude that rats in population "B" tend to survive longer than population A.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  309 Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.29 H0: the 4 distributions of mean leaf length are identical, vs. Ha: at least two are different.

From  Table 6, .01 < p–value < .025 so we can reject H0. 15.41 a. To carry out the Friedman test, we need the rank sums, Ri, for each model. These can be found by adding the ranks given for each model. For model A, R1 = 8(15) = 120. For model B, R2 = 4 + 2(6) + 7 + 8 + 9 + 2(14) = 68, etc. The Ri values are: 120, 68, 37, 61, 31, 87, 100, 34, 32, 62, 85, 75, 30, 71, 67 2 Thus, ∑ Ri = 71,948 and then Fr = 8(1512)(16 ) [71,948 − 3(8)(16 )] = 65.675 with 14 degrees  of freedom. From Table 6, we find that p–value < .005 so we soundly reject the hypothesis that the 15 distributions are equal. b. The highest (best) rank given to model H is lower than the lowest (worst) rank given to model M. Thus, the value of the test statistic is m = 0. Thus, using a binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = .5, p–value = 2P(M = 0) = 1/128. c. For the sign test, we must know whether each judge (exclusively) preferred model H or model M. This is not given in the problem. 15.42 H0: the probability distributions of skin irritation scores are the same for the 3 chemicals vs. Ha: at least two of the distributions differ in location.

Since χ .201 = 9.21034, we fail to reject H0: there is not enough evidence to conclude that the chemicals cause different degrees of irritation.  www.elsolucionario.net 314  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.43 If k = 2 and b = n, then Fr =  2 n  (R  2 1  ) ] − 9n  + R22 − 9n .

P(R = 2) = P(R ≤ 2) = .008 (minimum value is 2). b. P(R ≤ 3) = .040. c. P(R ≤ 4) = .167. 15.47 Here, n1 = 5 (blacks hired), n2 = 8 (whites hired), and R = 6. From Table 10, p–value = 2P(R ≤ 6) = 2(.347) = .694. So, there is no evidence of nonrandom racial selection. 15.48 The hypotheses are  H0: no contagion (randomly diseased) Ha: contagion (not randomly diseased) Since contagion would be indicated by a grouping of diseased trees, a small numer of runs tends to support the alternative hypothesis. The computed test statistic is R = 5, so with n1 = n2 = 5, p–value = .357 from Table 10. Thus, we cannot conclude there is evidence of contagion.  15.49 a. To find P(R ≤ 11) with n1 = 11 and n2 = 23, we can rely on the normal approximation. Since E(R) = 2(1111+)(2323) + 1 = 15.88 and V(R) = 6.2607, we have (in the second step the continuity correction is applied) 15.88 P(R ≤ 11) = P(R < 11.5) ≈ P( Z < 11.65.−2607 ) = P(Z < –1.75) = .0401. b. From the sequence, the observed value of R = 11. Since an unusually large or small number of runs would imply a non–randomness of defectives, we employ a two–tailed test. Thus, since the p–value = 2P(R ≤ 11) ≈ 2(.0401) = .0802, significance evidence for non–randomness does not exist here. 15.50 a. The measurements are classified as A if they lie above the mean and B if they fall below. The sequence of runs is given by AAAAABBBBBBABABA Thus, R = 7 with n1 = n2 = 8. Now, non–random fluctuation would be implied by a small number of runs, so by Table 10, p–value = P(R ≤ 7) = .217 so non–random fluctuation cannot be concluded. b. By dividing the data into equal parts, y1 = 68.05 (first row) and y 2 = 67.29 (second  row) with s 2p = 7.066. For the two–sample t–test, | t |=  68.05− 67.27 ⎛2⎞ 7.066 ⎜ ⎟ ⎝8⎠  = .57 with 14 degrees  of freedom. Since t.05 = 1.761, H0 cannot be rejected. 15.51 From Ex. 15.18, let A represent school A and let B represent school B. The sequence of runs is given by ABABABBBABBAABABAA  www.elsolucionario.net 316  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual  Notice that the 9th and 10th letters and the 13th and 14th letters in the sequence represent the two pairs of tied observations. If the tied observations were reversed in the sequence of runs, the value of R would remain the same: R = 13. Hence the order of the tied observations is irrelevant. The alternative hypothesis asserts that the two distributions are not identical. Therein, a small number of runs would be expected since most of the observations from school A would fall below those from school B. So, a one–tailed test is employed (lower tail) so the p–value = P(R ≤ 13) = .956. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis (similar with Ex. 15.18). 15.52 Refer to Ex. 15.25. In this exercise, n1 = 15 and n2 = 16. If the experimental batteries have a greater mean life, we would expect that most of the observations from plant B to be smaller than those from plant A. Consequently, the number of runs would be small. To use the large sample test, note that E(R) = 16 and V(R) = 7.24137. Thus, since R = 15, the approximate p–value is given by P( R ≤ 15) = P( R < 15.5) ≈ P( Z < −.1858) = .4263. Of course, the hypotheses H0: the two distributions are equal, would not be rejected. 15.53 R: > grader <- c(9,6,7,7,5,8,2,6,1,10,9,3) > moisture <- c(.22,.16,.17,.14,.12,.19,.10,.12,.05,.20,.16,.09) > cor(grader,moisture,method="spearman") [1] 0.911818  Thus, rS = .911818. To test for association with α = .05, index .025 in Table 11 so the rejection region is |rS | > .591.

From Table 11 and with α = .10, the rejection region is |rS | > .441 and thus we can conclude that there is a correlation between math and art scores. 15.58 R: > bending <- c(419,407,363,360,257,622,424,359,346,556,474,441) > twisting <- c(227,231,200,211,182,304,384,194,158,225,305,235) > cor.test(bending,twisting,method="spearman",alt="greater")  www.elsolucionario.net 318  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual  Spearman's rank correlation rho data: bending and twisting S = 54, p-value = 0.001097 alternative hypothesis: true rho is greater than 0 sample estimates: rho 0.8111888  a.

With a p–value = .001097, we can conclude that there is existence of a population association between bending and twisting stiffness. 15.59 The data are ranked below; since there are no ties in either sample, the alternate formula for rS will be used.

From Table 11, note that 1 > .794 so the p–value < .005 and we soundly conclude that there is a positive correlation between the two variables. 15.60 It is found that rS = .9394 with n = 10. From Table 11, the p–value < 2(.005) = .01 so we can conclude that correlation is present. 15.61 a. Since all five judges rated the three products, this is a randomized block design. b. Since the measurements are ordinal values and thus integers, the normal theory would not apply. c. Given the response to part b, we can employ the Friedman test. In R, this is (using the numbers 1–5 to denote the judges): > > > >  rating <- c(16,16,14,15,13,9,7,8,16,11,7,8,4,9,2) brand <- factor(c(rep("HC",5),rep("S",5),rep("EB",5))) judge <- c(1:5,1:5,1:5) friedman.test(rating ~ brand | judge) Friedman rank sum test  data: rating and brand and judge Friedman chi-squared = 6.4, df = 2, p-value = 0.04076  With the (approximate) p–value = .04076, we can conclude that the distributions for rating the egg substitutes are not the same.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  319 Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.62 Let p = P(gourmet A's rating exceeds gourmet B's rating for a given meal). The hypothesis of interest is H0: p = .5 vs Ha: p ≠ .5. With M = # of meals for which A is superior, we find that P(M ≤ 4) + P(M ≥ 13) = 2P(M ≤ 4) = .04904. using a binomial calculation with n = 17 (3 were ties) and p = .5. From the table, m = 8 so we fail to reject H0. 15.63 Using the Wilcoxon signed–rank test, > A <- c(6,4,7,8,2,7,9,7,2,4,6,8,4,3,6,9,9,4,4,5) > B <- c(8,5,4,7,3,4,9,8,5,3,9,5,2,3,8,10,8,6,3,5) > wilcox.test(A,B,paired=T) Wilcoxon signed rank test data: A and B V = 73.5, p-value = 0.9043 alternative hypothesis: true mu is not equal to 0  With the p–value = .9043, the hypothesis of equal distributions is not rejected (as in Ex. 15.63). 15.64 For the Mann–Whitney U test, WA = 126 and WB = 45. So, with n1 = n2 = 9, UA = 0 and UB = 81. From Table 8, the lower tail of the two–tailed rejection region is {U ≤ 18} with α = 2(.0252) = .0504. With U = 0, we soundly reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the deaf children do differ in eye movement rate. 15.65 With n1 = n2 = 8, UA = 46.5 and UB = 17.5. From Table 8, the hypothesis of no difference will be rejected if U ≤ 13 with α = 2(.0249) = .0498. Since our U = 17.5, we fail to reject H0 (same as in Ex. 13.1). 15.66 a. The measurements are ordered below according to magnitude as mentioned in the exercise (from the "outside in"): Instrument Response Rank  A 1060.21 1  B 1060.24 3  A 1060.27 5  B 1060.28 7  B 1060.30 9  B 1060.32 8  A 1060.34 6  A 1060.36 4  A 1060.40 2  To test H0: σ 2A = σ 2B vs. Ha: σ 2A > σ 2B , we use the Mann–Whitney U statistic. If Ha is true, then the measurements for A should be assigned lower ranks. For the significance level, we will use α = P(U ≤ 3) = .056. From the above table, the values are U1 = 17 and U2 = 3. So, we reject H0. b. For the two samples, s A2 = .00575 and s B2 = .00117. Thus, F = .00575/.00117 = 4.914 with 4 numerator and 3 denominator degrees of freedom. From R: > 1 - pf(4.914,4,3) [1] 0.1108906  Since the p–value = .1108906, H0 would not be rejected.  www.elsolucionario.net 320  Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.67 First, obviously P(U ≤ 2) = P(U = 0) + P(U = 1) + P(U = 2). Denoting the five observations from samples 1 and 2 as A and B respectively (and n1 = n2 = 5), the only sample point associated with U = 0 is BBBBBAAAAA because there are no A's preceding any of the B's. The only sample point associated with U = 1 is BBBBABAAAA since only one A observation precedes a B observation. Finally, there are two sample points associated with U = 2: BBBABBAAAA BBBBAABAAA 10 Now, under the null hypothesis all of the 5 = 252 orderings are equally likely. Thus,  ( )  P(U ≤ 2) = 4/252 = 1/63 = .0159. 15.68 Let Y = # of positive differences and let T = the rank sum of the positive differences. Then, we must find P(T ≤ 2) = P(T = 0) + P(T = 1) + P(T = 2). Now, consider the three pairs of observations and the ranked differences according to magnitude. Let d1, d2, and d3 denote the ranked differences. The possible outcomes are:  d1 d2 d3 + + + – + + + – + + + – – – + – + – + – – – – –  Y 3 2 2 2 1 1 1 0  T 6 5 4 3 3 2 1 0  Now, under H0 Y is binomial with n = 3 and p = P(A exceeds B) = .5. Thus, P(T = 0) = P(T = 0, Y = 0) = P(Y = 0)P(T = 0 | Y = 0) = .125(1) = .125. Similarly, P(T = 1) = P(T = 1, Y = 1) = P(Y = 1)P(T = 1 | Y = 1) = ..375(1/3) = .125, since conditionally when Y = 1, there are three possible values for T (1, 2, or 3). Finally, P(T = 2) = P(T = 2, Y = 1) = P(Y = 1)P(T = 2 | Y = 1) = ..375(1/3) = .125, using similar logic as in the above. Thus, P(T ≤ 2) = .125 + .125 + .125 = .375.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  321 Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.69 a.

With 3 degrees of freedom, χ .205 = 7.81473 and so H0 is not rejected. 15.72 In R: > > > >  perform <- c(20,25,30,37,24,16,22,25,40,26,20,18,24,27,39,41,21,25) group <- factor(c(1:6,1:6,1:6)) method <- factor(c(rep("lect",6),rep("demonst",6),rep("machine",6))) friedman.test(perform ~ method | group) Friedman rank sum test  data: perform and method and group Friedman chi-squared = 4.2609, df = 2, p-value = 0.1188  With a p–value = .1188, it is unwise to reject the claim of equal teach method effectiveness, so fail to reject H0. 15.73 Following the methods given in Section 15.9, we must obtain the probability of observing exactly Y1 runs of S and Y2 runs of F, where Y1 + Y2 = R. The joint probability mass functions for Y1 and Y2 is given by  p ( y1 , y 2  ( )( ) . )= ( ) 7 y1 −1  7 y 2 −1  16 8  (1) For the event R = 2, this will only occur if Y1 = 1 and Y2 = 1, with either the S elements or the F elements beginning the sequence. Thus, P( R = 2) = 2 p(1, 1) = 12 ,2870 . (2) For R = 3, this will occur if Y1 = 1 and Y2 = 2 or Y1 = 2 and Y2 = 1. So, P( R = 3) = p(1, 2) + p( 2, 1) = 1214 ,870 . (3) Similarly, P( R = 4) = 2 p( 2, 2) = 1298 ,870 . (4) Likewise, P( R = 5) = p( 3, 2) + p( 2, 3) = 12294 ,870 . (5) In the same manor, P( R = 6) = 2 p(3, 3) = 12882 ,870 . Thus, P(R ≤ 6) =  2 +14 + 98 + 294 + 882 12 ,870  = .100, agreeing with the entry found in Table 10.  15.74 From Ex. 15.67, it is not difficult to see that the following pairs of events are equivalent:  {W = 15} ≡ {U = 0}, {W = 16} ≡ {U = 2}, and {W = 17} ≡ {U = 3}. Therefore, P(W ≤ 17) = P(U ≤ 3) = .0159.  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 15: Nonparametric Statistics  323 Instructor's Solutions Manual  15.75 Assume there are n1 "A" observations and n2 "B" observations, The Mann–Whitney U statistic is defined as  U = ∑i =21U i , n  where Ui is the number of A observations preceding the ith B. With B(i) to be the ith B observation in the combined sample after it is ranked from smallest to largest, and write R[B(i)] to be the rank of the ith ordered B in the total ranking of the combined sample. Then, Ui is the number of A observations the precede B(i). Now, we know there are (i – 1) B's that precede B(i), and that there are R[B(i)] – 1 A's and B's preceding B(i). Then, U = ∑i =21U i = ∑i =21[ R( B( i ) ) − i ] = ∑i =21 R( B( i ) ) − ∑i =21 i = WB − n 2 ( n 2 + 1) / 2 n  n  n  n  Now, let N = n1 + n2. Since WA + WB = N(N + 1)/2, so WB = N(N + 1)/2 – WA.

Thus, MSE ( pˆ B ) = V ( pˆ B ) + [ B( pˆ B )]2 =  16.9  a. Here, L( y | p ) = p( y | p ) = (1 − p ) y −1 p , where y = 1, 2, … and 0 < p < 1. So, Γ( α + β) α −1 f ( y , p ) = (1 − p ) y −1 p × p (1 − p )β −1 Γ(α)Γ(β) so that 1 Γ(α + β) Γ( α + 1)Γ( y + β − 1) Γ(α + β) α . m( y ) = ∫ p (1 − p )β+ y − 2 dp = Γ ( α ) Γ ( β ) Γ ( y + α + β ) Γ ( α ) Γ ( β ) 0 The posterior density of p is then Γ(α + β + y ) g * ( p | y) = pα (1 − p) β + y − 2 , 0 < p < 1. Γ(α + 1)Γ( β + y − 1) This is a beta density with shape parameters α* = α + 1 and β* = β + y – 1. b. The Bayes estimators are α +1 (1) pˆ B = E ( p | Y ) = , α +β +Y  ( 2) [ p(1 − p )] B  = E( p | Y ) − E( p 2 | Y ) = =  (α + 2)(α + 1) α +1 − α + β + Y (α + β + Y + 1)(α + β + Y )  (α + 1)(β + Y − 1) , (α + β + Y + 1)(α + β + Y )  where the second expectation was solved using the result from Ex. 4.200. (Alternately, 1  the answer could be found by solving E[ p(1 − p ) | Y ] = ∫ p(1 − p ) g * ( p | Y )dp . 0  16.10 a. The joint density of the random sample and θ is given by the product of the marginal densities multiplied by the gamma prior:  www.elsolucionario.net 328  Chapter 16: Introduction to Bayesian Methods of Inference  Instructor's Solutions Manual  f ( y 1 , … , y n , θ) = =  [∏  n  i =1  θ exp( −θy i )  ]Γ(α1)β  α  θ α −1 exp(−θ / β)  ⎞ ⎛ n θ n + α −1 θ n + α −1 β ⎟ ⎜− θ exp y / exp − θ − θ β = ∑ n α α i =1 i ⎟ ⎜ Γ(α )β Γ(α )β ⎜ β∑i =1 y i + 1 ⎟⎠ ⎝  (  )  ∞ ⎛ ⎞ β 1 ⎜ ⎟dθ , but this integral resembles n + α −1 θ exp − θ b. m( y1 ,…, y n ) = α ∫ n ⎜ Γ( α)β 0 β∑i =1 y i + 1 ⎟⎠ ⎝ β . that of a gamma density with shape parameter n + α and scale parameter n β∑i =1 y i + 1  ⎞ ⎛ 1 β ⎟ ⎜ Thus, the solution is m( y1 ,…, y n ) = ( n ) Γ + β ⎜ β n y +1⎟ Γ(α )β α ⎠ ⎝ ∑i =1 i  n+α  .  c.

The credible intervals should decrease in width with larger sample sizes. 16.14 a.-b. Answers vary. 16.15 With y = 4, n = 25, and a beta(1, 3) prior, the posterior distribution for p is beta(5, 24). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 95% credible interval are given by: > qbeta(.025,5,24) [1] 0.06064291 > qbeta(.975,5,24) [1] 0.3266527  16.16 With y = 4, n = 25, and a beta(1, 1) prior, the posterior distribution for p is beta(5, 22). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 95% credible interval are given by: > qbeta(.025,5,22) [1] 0.06554811 > qbeta(.975,5,22) [1] 0.3486788  This is a wider interval than what was obtained in Ex. 16.15. 16.17 With y = 6 and a beta(10, 5) prior, the posterior distribution for p is beta(11, 10). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 80% credible interval for p are given by: > qbeta(.10,11,10) [1] 0.3847514 > qbeta(.90,11,10) [1] 0.6618291  16.18 With n = 15,  ∑  n  i =1  y i = 30.27, and a gamma(2.3, 0.4) prior, the posterior distribution for  θ is gamma(17.3, .030516). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 80% credible interval for θ are given by > qgamma(.10,shape=17.3,scale=.0305167) [1] 0.3731982 > qgamma(.90,shape=17.3,scale=.0305167) [1] 0.6957321  The 80% credible interval for θ is (.3732, .6957). To create a 80% credible interval for 1/θ, the end points of the previous interval can be inverted: .3732 < θ < .6957 1/(.3732) > 1/θ > 1/(.6957) Since 1/(.6957) = 1.4374 and 1/(.3732) = 2.6795, the 80% credible interval for 1/θ is (1.4374, 2.6795).  www.elsolucionario.net 332  Chapter 16: Introduction to Bayesian Methods of Inference  Instructor's Solutions Manual  16.19 With n = 25,  ∑  n  i =1  y i = 174, and a gamma(2, 3) prior, the posterior distribution for λ is  gamma(176, .0394739). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 95% credible interval for λ are given by > qgamma(.025,shape=176,scale=.0394739) [1] 5.958895 > qgamma(.975,shape=176,scale=.0394739) [1] 8.010663  16.20 With n = 8, u = .8579, and a gamma(5, 2) prior, the posterior distribution for v is gamma(9, 1.0764842). Using R, the lower and upper endpoints of the 90% credible interval for v are given by > qgamma(.05,shape=9,scale=1.0764842) [1] 5.054338 > qgamma(.95,shape=9,scale=1.0764842) [1] 15.53867  The 90% credible interval for v is (5.054, 15.539). Similar to Ex. 16.18, the 90% credible interval for σ2 = 1/v is found by inverting the endpoints of the credible interval for v, given by (.0644, .1979). 16.21 From Ex. 6.15, the posterior distribution of p is beta(5, 24). Now, we can find P * ( p ∈ Ω 0 ) = P * ( p < .3) by (in R): > pbeta(.3,5,24) [1] 0.9525731  Therefore, P * ( p ∈ Ω a ) = P * ( p ≥ .3) = 1 – .9525731 = .0474269. Since the probability associated with H0 is much larger, our decision is to not reject H0. 16.22 From Ex. 6.16, the posterior distribution of p is beta(5, 22). We can find P * ( p ∈ Ω 0 ) = P * ( p < .3) by (in R): > pbeta(.3,5,22) [1] 0.9266975  Therefore, P * ( p ∈ Ω a ) = P * ( p ≥ .3) = 1 – .9266975 = .0733025. Since the probability associated with H0 is much larger, our decision is to not reject H0. 16.23 From Ex. 6.17, the posterior distribution of p is beta(11, 10). Thus, P * ( p ∈ Ω 0 ) = P * ( p < .4) is given by (in R): > pbeta(.4,11,10) [1] 0.1275212  Therefore, P * ( p ∈ Ω a ) = P * ( p ≥ .4) = 1 – .1275212 = .8724788. Since the probability associated with Ha is much larger, our decision is to reject H0. 16.24 From Ex. 16.18, the posterior distribution for θ is gamma(17.3, .0305). To test H0: θ > .5 vs. Ha: θ ≤ .5, * * we calculate P (θ ∈ Ω 0 ) = P (θ > .5) as:  www.elsolucionario.net Chapter 16: Introduction to Bayesian Methods of Inference  333 Instructor's Solutions Manual  > 1 - pgamma(.5,shape=17.3,scale=.0305) [1] 0.5561767  Therefore, P * (θ ∈ Ω a ) = P * (θ ≥ .5) = 1 – .5561767 = .4438233. The probability associated with H0 is larger (but only marginally so), so our decision is to not reject H0. 16.25 From Ex. 16.19, the posterior distribution for λ is gamma(176, .0395). Thus, P * (λ ∈ Ω 0 ) = P * (λ > 6) is found by > 1 - pgamma(6,shape=176,scale=.0395) [1] 0.9700498  Therefore, P * (λ ∈ Ω a ) = P * ( λ ≤ 6) = 1 – .9700498 = .0299502. Since the probability associated with H0 is much larger, our decision is to not reject H0. 16.26 From Ex. 16.20, the posterior distribution for v is gamma(9, 1.0765). To test: H0: v < 10 vs. Ha: v ≥ 10, * * we calculate P ( v ∈ Ω 0 ) = P ( v < 10) as > pgamma(10,9, 1.0765) [1] 0.7464786  Therefore, P * (λ ∈ Ω a ) = P * ( v ≥ 10) = 1 – .7464786 = .2535214. Since the probability associated with H0 is larger, our decision is to not reject H0.
