6. TRUE or FALSE: Indicate if the given statement is true or false, giving a brief explanation of the reasoning you use in coming to an answer. (a) Suppose that Y1, Y2, ..., Yn is a random sample from a normal population with unknown param- eters u and o. Then (Y – µ)/(0//n) is a pivotal quantity for the population mean u. (b) Suppose that 01 and 02 are two estimators of some population parameter 0, and further that 01 is unbiased but that 02 is a biased estimator. Then MSE(0,) < MSE(02). (c) Suppose that Z has a standard normal distribution, and that T has Student's t distribution with 5 degrees of freedom. Then P(Z > 2) > P(T > 2). (Determine the answer to this question without referring to any tables or other numerical calculations.)

1. What does it imply if if more values are concentrated above the mean? (Skewness) And would the value of skewness be less than, greater than, or equal to 0? 2. In case the data is highly skewed, can we still rely on the kurtosis coefficient? Why or why not? 3. Can the z-score be a real measure of dispersion?
If you let X1, X2, X3, X4 equal the cholesterol level of a woman under the age of 50, a man under 50, a woman 50 or older, and a man 50 or older, respectively. Assuming the distribution of Xi is N(μi, σ2), i = 1, 2, 3, 4 and you test the null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4, using seven observations of each Xi, what would be the critical region for an alpha = 0.05 significance level?
The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with ? = 0.32 and that x = 5.21. (Use ? = 0.05.) (a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pCi/L of radon. The resulting readings were as follows: 105.6 90.9 91.2 96.9 96.5 91.3 100.1 105.5 99.6 107.7 103.3 92.4 Does this data suggest that the population mean reading under these conditions differ from 100? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Calculate, correct to 2 decimal places, the sample mean, x ; and the sample standard deviation, s. Evaluate the appropriate test statistic. Test these hypotheses at 05 level of significance.

8. Gravetter/Wallnau/Forzano, Essentials - Chapter 9 - End-of-chapter question 9 A random sample of n = 12 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 70, and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 74.5 with SS = 297. Degrees of Freedom = 21 1. How much difference is there between the mean for the treated sample and the mean for the original population? (Note: In a hypothesis test, this value forms the numerator of the t statistic.) 2. If there is no treatment effect, how much difference is expected just by chance between the sample mean and its population mean? That is, find the standard error for M. (Note: In a hypothesis test, this value is the denominator of the t statistic.) 3. Based on the sample data, does the treatment have a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

Assume that you have a sample of n1=7 , with the sample mean X1=44 , and a sample standard deviation of S1=6 , and you have an independent sample of n2=6 from another population with a sample mean of X2=32 and the sample standard deviation S2=5 . Assuming the population variances are equal, at the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that μ1>μ2?
