Step 1
Given that x_(1), x_(2), ..., x_(n) are iid random variables with mean λ and variance λ, we can calculate the sample mean and sample variance as follows: Sample Mean (X̄) = (x_(1) + x_(2) + ... + x_(n)) / n = λ Sample Variance (S^2) = Σ(x_i - X̄)^2 / (n-1) = λ Show more…

Suppose X1,...,Xn is a random sample from a Bernoulli(p) distribution and the sample average is x̄n = 0.45, based on which we can construct a 95% confidence interval for p. Now we collect more data and the sample average is around 0.48, we want to construct a 90% confidence interval with the length being 1/3 of the 95% one. How large should the sample size nnew be in terms of n?

Let X be normally distributed with the variance Var. We sample X and determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean μ. How large should the sample size n be to ensure that μ is estimated within 0.5 or less?

2. A random sample X1, X2, ..., X36 is given from normal distribution with unknown mean E(Xi) and unknown variance Var(Xi). For the observed sample, the sample mean is x = 35.8, and the sample variance is S^2 = 12.5. Find the 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals for μ.
