Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 4. Let X1, X2, X3 be a random sample of size n = 3 from a normally distributed random
variable with mean 2, variance 12. Let Y = X1 - 2X2 +3X3.
(a) Find the mean and the variance of Y.
(b) Find P(1 < Y < 5).
Problem 5. Assume that a quantity is normally distributed with standard deviation 2. A sample of size
n = 30 provides T = 20. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean.

Suppose we plan a sample of size 4 from from population A and a sample of size 9 from population B which we will pool to form the pooled variance. If you know the population variances are both in fact equal to 6, what is the probability that the pooled variance of the two samples will turn out to be less than 8 given your information?arrow_forwardAn urn contains 7 black and 18 white balls.
