Thread: check my working

Dear

please find the attached file of questions.

please check my working .
i will be very thankful to you.



Ans 2 b)
there are 5C3 (because order does not matter)ways of having a group of 3 from this finite population. So there are 10 groups and you have to find the mean of each of the 10 groups.
6 6 9->7
6 6 15->9
6 6 18->10
6 9 15->10
6 9 15->10
6 15 18->13
6 15 18->13
6 9 18->11
6 9 18->11
9 15 18->14
Then it is asking you to find the average of the averages that you have found.
(7+9+10+10+10+13+13+11+11+14)/10=10.8
The variance is
[(7-10.8)2+(9-10.8)2+(10-10.8)2+(10-10.8)2+(10-10.8)2+ (13-10.8)2+(13-10.8)2+(11-10.8)2+(11-10.8)2+(14-10.8)2]/(10-1)=4.4


Ans 3 c)
estimator with min. standard error that is variance of T is better estimator.
variance of T1=V(X1+X2+ X3 /3)
= V( X1 /3) +V(X2/3) + V(X3 /3)
= 1/9 V(X1) + 1/9 V(X2)+ 1/9V(X3) = 1/3 σ2
SIMILARLY FIND v(T2)
v(T2)=3/8σ2
as variance of T1 is less,it is better estimator


Ans 1 .b)
If all 5 are selected without replacement, there is only one way in which all 5 have tomatoes, C(5,5) = 1. Total number of ways of selecting 5 cans from 10 = C(10,5) = 180
Hence, required probability of selecting all tomatoes = 1/180 ≈ 0. 005556

The total number of ways of selecting 3 or more tomatoes is:
C(5,3)*C(5,2) + C(5,4)*C(5,1) + C(5,5) = 126
Total number of ways of selecting 5 cans from 10 = C(10,5) = 180
Hence, required probability of selecting 3 or more tomatoes = 126/180 = 0.7

It would help if you typed the questions with your solutions. It is a lot of trouble to switch between the browser and image file viewer windows.

In would also help if each of the questions and solutions were in seperate thresds.
