The weights of four randomly chosen bags of horse carrots, each bag labeled 20 pounds, were $20.5,19.8,20.8$, and $20.0$ pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a $95 \%$ confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of horse carrots. Use technology for your calculations.

5. Given that \( \mathrm{SSE}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\hat{\beta}_{0}-\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}\right)^{2} \), towards deriving \( \mathrm{SSE}=S_{y y}-\hat{\beta}_{1} S_{x y} \), \( \mathrm{SSE} \) can be expressed as A. \( -2 \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[y_{i}-\left(\hat{\beta}_{0}+\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}\right)\right] \) B. \( -2 \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[y_{i}-\left(\hat{\beta}_{0}+\hat{\beta}_{1}\right) x_{i}\right] \) C. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\bar{y}+\hat{\beta}_{1} \bar{x}-\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}\right)^{2} \) D. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}^{2}+n \hat{\beta_{0}}-\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}^{2}\right)^{2} \) 6. The SSE can then be arranged as A. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[\left(y_{i}-\bar{y}\right)-\hat{\beta}_{1}\left(x_{i}-\bar{x}\right)\right]^{2} \) B. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[\left(y_{i}-\bar{y}\right)-\left(\hat{\beta}_{0}+\hat{\beta}_{1}\right)\left(x_{i}-\bar{x}\right)\right]^{2} \) C. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[y_{i}^{2}-\left(n \hat{\beta_{0}}+\hat{\beta}_{1}\right) x_{i}^{2}\right] \) D. \( \sum_{i=1}^{n} y_{i}-n \hat{\beta}_{0}+\hat{\beta}_{1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \)

Consider the simple linear regression model \[ Y_{i}=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} x_{i}+\epsilon_{i} \quad i=1,2, \ldots, n \] where the \( \epsilon_{i} \) 's are independent and identically distributed random variables with \( E\left(\epsilon_{i}\right)=0 \). The Sum Squared Error (SSE) is given by \[ \mathrm{SSE}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\hat{y}_{i}\right)^{2}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\hat{\beta}_{0}-\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}\right)^{2} \] where \( \hat{y}_{i} \) is the predicted value of \( y \) when \( x=x_{i} \). - Derive the following identity: \[ \mathrm{SSE}=S_{y y}-\hat{\beta}_{1} S_{x y} \] where \[ \begin{aligned} S_{y y} & =\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(y_{i}-\bar{y}\right)^{2} \\ S_{x y} & =\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(x_{i}-\bar{x}\right)\left(y_{i}-\bar{y}\right) \end{aligned} \] - Consider SSE and \( S_{y y} \), which of the following is correct? \[ \mathrm{SSE} \leq S_{y y} \] or \[ \mathrm{SSE} \geq S_{y y} \] Write down your proof. [Hint: \( \hat{\beta}_{1}=S_{x y} / S_{x x} \); use the above identity]

INSTANT ANSWER

Suppose that we have postulated the model \[ Y_{i}=\beta_{1} x_{i}+\epsilon_{i} \quad i=1,2, \ldots, n, \] where the \( \epsilon_{i} \) 's are independent and identically distributed random variables with \( E\left(\epsilon_{i}\right)=0 \) and \( \operatorname{Var}\left(\epsilon_{i}\right)=\sigma^{2} \). Then \( \hat{y_{i}}=\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i} \) is the predicted value of \( y \) when \( x=x_{i} \) and \( \mathrm{SSE}= \) \( \sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[y_{i}-\hat{\beta}_{1} x_{i}\right]^{2} \) - Derive \( \hat{\beta}_{1} \), the least-squares estimator of the parameter \( \beta_{1} \). - Show if \( \hat{\beta}_{1} \) is or is not an unbiased estimator of the parameter \( \beta_{1} \). - Find the variance of \( \hat{\beta}_{1} \).

A manufacturing company produces bags of flour for commercial use. It is known that the variation in weight of bags produced by this process has a normal distribution about its target weight with a standard deviation of 1 kg. 1. What should the manufacturing company set as its target weight in order for 97.5% of its bags to have a weight of at least 100 kg? 2. A random sample of 20 bags was weighed with the following results in kg. 101.26 99.76 98.96 100.36 98.94 98.82 98.51 100.97 101.04 100.31 98.24 100.58 100.20 99.28 99.04 99.95 99.34 99.54 97.89 97.98 Determine a 95% confidence interval for process's actual average bag weight 3. A government inspector wishes to investigate the average weight of bags being produced by this manufacturing company. If a 95% confidence interval for the process's actual average bag weight of width no more than 0.2 kg is required, what is the minimum number of bags that need to be sampled by the government inspector?
