Let Y₁, Y2, ..., Yn be a random sample from a population with a Gamma distribution with
parameters a = 3 and unknown.
Find the Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator for B.
Show your work, and explain how you know your estimator is the MVUE.
Assume the samples are random and independent, the populations are normally distributed, and the population variances are equal. The table available below shows the prices (in dollars) for a sample of automobile batteries. The prices are classified according to battery type. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to conclude that at least one mean battery price is different from the others? Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
A random sample of n = 19 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43. Previous studies show that o1 = 10. For
Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 34. Previous studies
show that o2 = 13. Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean
population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
O Ho: H1 H2
O Ho: H1 = l2; H1: H1 < µ2
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.
O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.
