Overview: As discussed in the 6th and 7th Chapter of your text, one must realize the difficulty of and issues related to parameters from sample data (e.g. determine the mean height of all FHSU students but only collect a samp covered in the 2nd half of Chapter 6), one must understand sampling distributions and the related issue of the study of such distributions (also the key to truly understanding the rest of the material in the remaining of sampling distributions, then one can predict population parameters from sample statistics and have som prediction. Do note however, we can never be 100% sure of the true population value based from a sampl confident the population value is within some interval we build around a collected sample statistic. This a you use the cleaned class data from Activity 4 to predict some population parameters and to discuss issues The cleaned data set of seventy-seven values is given to the right (recall that one individual's data was elim 1. Let's assume that the hair color factor for the class was collected from seventy-seven randomly selected st Statistics at FHSUeven though we know the data was not truly randomly collected but instead comes fro this semester's various virtual sections of the course. a. First, determine from this sample data the proportion (percentage) of students which have bl 0.1038961039 b. Explain why it would be wrong to use the proportion calculated above (even if the data came the proportion value for ALL FHSU Element of Statistics students who have black hair colo This is a small sample from one stats class and not from ALL students at FHSU, c. Next, based upon a 90% level of confidence, determine the margin of error in estimating the FHSU Element of Statistics students with black hair from this sample data. Give this margin d. Next use your margin of error value to produce the 90% confidence interval for the populatio from the sample results. State this interval below within an interpretive sentence tied to the g 2. Clearly explain the intent/meaning of the \"90%\" number in the confidence interval problem above. 3. As above, let's assume that the sample data for the foot length variable was collected from randomly selec of Statistics from FHSU. a. Determine the mean, median, midrange, standard deviation, and variance of the "foot length" b. Determine the margin of error in estimating the population mean foot length from this one sa 95% level of confidence. (You may assume that previous research has demonstrated the pop foot length measures of similar groups of people is 3.4 cm and that the distribution of foot le normal distribution). c. Using your margin of error value from (3b), give the 95% confidence interval for the popula as predicted from this sample's results. State this interval below within an interpretive senten d. Although similar, what makes this situation in problem #3 (and hence some of the resulting s different from the situation in problem #1 above? 4. Notice (from the margin of error measurment determined in 3b) that we have used a sample size larger th sufficiently confident that the sample mean would estimate the population mean foot length within 1.5 cm; was much smaller than 1.5 cm. Therefore, determine the smaller sample size required to predict the m stats students based upon a needed 95% confidence level with an error of no more than 1.5 cm. (Again a Does it seem reasonable that collecting a random sample of the size you determined can produce there any issues with going to such a small sample size? Explain your position.
