- Areas of Curved Regions the Monte Carlo method can be used to estimate the area under the graph of a function. The figure below shows the region under the graph of f(x)=x2 above the x-axis, between x=0 and x=1. if we choose a point in the square at random, probability that it lies under the graph of f(x)=x2 is the area under the graph divided by the area of the square. So if randomly select a large of points in the square, we have Modify the program from Problem 5 to carry out this Monte Carlo simulation and mate the required area.arrow_forwardDistribution A is a distribution of sample means with a mean of 50 and standard error of 5. Distribution B is also a distribution of sample means with a mean of 50, however the standard error is 30. If you drew 2 random samples each from A and B, for which would you expect the samples to be more similar to each other? a, Samples from either distribution would be equally reliable. b. samples from Distribution A would be more similar to each other than samples from distribution B c. There is no way to determine how similar or reliable we should expect the samples to be. d. samples from Distribution B would be more similar to each other than samples from distribution Aarrow_forwardContinuous Distribution The random variable Y = Ln (X) has a normal distribution with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1.

- Confidence interval with t-value [Refer to Module 10a slides for an example] We want to find out if college students trust a presidential candidate (in this case Mitt Romney). We randomly select 29 college students from a national registry (assuming there was such a thing) and ask them to rate how trustworthy they find Mitt Romney on a scale of 0 to 7 with 0 being completely untrustworthy and 7 being completely trustworthy. The sample of 29 students results in an average of 3.94 points. We will also assume a sample standard deviation (sigma) of 2 points. Using Table C from the text or the one pasted below, determine what the "t" value should be for a 95% Confidence Interval. Then use the formula below to calculate a 95% confidence interval for college students level of trust of Mitt Romney. Show your work and/or describe the process you used to find the answer.arrow_forwardInference of the population mean with small samples Show development for the solution In an clinic, a certain group of people is on a program to lose weight and improve their health. At the end of the program and as a result of a random sample of 10 patients, it was obtained that the average weight loss was 15.9 with a standard deviation of 5.3. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of the weight loss program. b) If the clinic expects people to lose an average of 14 kilograms with the program, do you think the program is adequate? justifies c) What sample size would you recommend the clinic use if they want to have a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of 2 kilograms?arrow_forwardusing statistical tables show all workings Define the null and alternative hypotheses of the χ2 test for the above output.

- MINIMUM SAMPLE SIZE Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion. A newspaper article about the results of a poll states: "In theory, the results of such a poll, in 99 cases out of 100 should differ by no more than 5 percentage points in either direction from what would have been obtained by interviewing all voters in the United States." Find the sample size suggested by this statement.arrow_forwardCONFIDENCE INTERVAL AND THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM 1. A nutritionist is interested in monitoring the calorie intake of woman. It was found that in selected a random sample of 50 female adults, the average daily intake of meat products is 2200 calories per day with the standard deviation of 300 calories. Give a 99% confidence interval for the mean intake of calories from meat products of female adults. 2.Give a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval of the mean weight of fresh orange if 100 randomly selected fresh orange have a mean weight of 180 grams and standard deviation f 30g (3 answers)arrow_forward
