Rule of thumb: If the normal approximation will be satisfactory regardless of the shape of the population. (If n is evaluated from more than 30 values, we will consider hat s is a good point estimate for o. ) Otherwise, we need to use a different shape of probability distribution function that will consider an error on o. Lecture 12 3 Confidence Interval on the mean, small sample () & Variance unknown Let XSL, XX, ,Oxen be a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean and variance.The random variable: Has a t distribution with n-l degrees of freedom.

Inference on the mean of two populations, variances known 232-238 9 Confidence Interval on the Variance of a normal population Let XSL, XX,... Oxen be a random sample from a normal striation with mean p and variance o, and let SO be the sample variance.

The random variable: Has a chi-square (V) distribution with n-l degrees of freedom Hypothesis testing on the variance The confidence interval the variance is given by X a /2,n-1 X I-a /2,n-1 11 Problem The variance for one machine preparing ibuprofen pills is problematic. You have the following dataset : 185, 199, 205, 183, 208, 201, 195, 196, 196, 203. 0=0. 05) a) b) c) d) Calculate the sample variance. Is the standard deviation statistically higher than 7 MGM? Calculate the P-Value on your test. What is the double sided 95% Confidence interval on the ample variance? 13 )Tuttle .
