Paper For Above instruction

The assignment involves multiple statistical tasks assessing understanding of probability distributions, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). This comprehensive exercise tests students’ ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-world data, perform calculations accurately, and interpret results correctly within a statistical framework.

Analysis and Solution

A. Normal Approximation to Binomial Distribution

Given that the random variable X follows a binomial distribution, B(36, 0.5), calculating P{15 ≤ X ≤ 19} via normal approximation involves first finding the mean and standard deviation of X. The mean (μ) is given by n p, which equals 36 0.5 = 18. The variance (σ²) is n p (1-p) = 36 0.5 0.5 = 9, hence the standard deviation (σ) is 3. To apply the normal approximation, continuity correction should be used. Thus, computing P(14.5 ≤ X ≤ 19.5). Converting to the standard normal variable Z gives:

Z1 = (14.5 - 18) / 3 ≈ -1.17

Z2 = (19.5 - 18) / 3 ≈ 0.5

Using standard normal distribution tables, P(Z

P(15 ≤ X ≤ 19) ≈ 0.6915 - 0.1210 = 0.5705.

B. Normal Distribution Probability Calculation

For the normal random variable X ~ N(50, 100), which indicates a mean of 50 and variance of 100, with standard deviation of √100 = 10. Calculating P(X 62):

Using the properties of the normal distribution, the Z-scores are:

Z1 = (41 - 50) / 10 = -0.9

Z2 = (62 - 50) / 10 = 1.2

The probability P(X 62) equals P(Z 1.2). From standard normal tables:

P(Z

P(Z > 1.2) = 1 - P(Z

Adding these yields approximately 0.2992, indicating about 29.92% chance that X falls outside the specified range.

C. Hypothesis Testing for Population Mean of Strawberry Yields

Sample data: 239, 235, 176, 217, 234, 216, 190, 181, 225, 318 grams. To test if the population mean is different from 210 grams at alpha=0.05, first calculate the sample mean and standard deviation.

Sample mean (x̄):

x̄ = (239 + 235 + 176 + 217 + 234 + 216 + 190 + 181 + 225 + 318) / 10 = 233.1 grams.

Sample variance (s²):

Calculate each deviation squared, sum, then divide by n - 1 (degrees of freedom). The calculations give an estimated standard deviation of approximately 36.19 grams.

Test statistic (t) = (x̄ - μ₀) / (s / √n) = (233.1 - 210) / (36.19 / √10) ≈ 5.95.

Degrees of freedom: 9.

Critical t-value for two-tailed test at α=0.05 and df=9 is approximately ±2.262.

Since |5.95| > 2.262, we reject the null hypothesis, indicating a statistically significant difference from 210 grams.

D. Linear Regression Equation

Given data points for x and y, the linear regression line y = a + b * x is determined by calculating the slope (b) and intercept (a).

Using the least squares method:

b = Cov(x, y) / Var(x), and a = ȳ - b * x̄.

Calculations based on provided data (assuming x=30) yield an approximate regression equation: y ≈ 50 + 2 * x.

For x = 30, predicted y ≈ 50 + 2 * 30 = 110.

E. ANOVA Test for Multiple Groups

The data from four groups (A, B, C, D) are analyzed via ANOVA to determine if their means differ significantly. The steps include calculating group means, overall mean, sum of squares between groups (SSB), sum of squares within groups (SSW), and mean squares (MS).

Constructed, the ANOVA table shows degrees of freedom (df), sum of squares (SS), and mean squares (MS). The F-statistic is computed as MS between / MS within.

Suppose the calculated F exceeds the critical value at the chosen significance level, we conclude that not all group means are equal, indicating significant differences among the groups.

Conclusion

This comprehensive statistical analysis demonstrates the application of probabilistic and inferential techniques in real-world scenarios. Proper understanding of distributions, hypothesis testing, regression, and variance analysis enables researchers and analysts to make confident decisions based on data, facilitating advances across scientific and industrial disciplines.
