Short Answer

Sale of eggs that are contaminated with salmonella can cause food poisoning in consumers. A large egg producer takes an SRS of $200$ eggs from all the eggs shipped in one day. The laboratory reports that $9$ of these eggs had salmonella contamination. Unknown to the producer, $0.1 %$ (one-tenth of 1%) of all eggs shipped had salmonella. Identify the population, the parameter, the sample, and the statistic.

Sample= $200$

Perimeter= $0.001$

proportion of eggs in the sample= $0.045$

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, Sale of eggs that are contaminated with salmonella can cause food poisoning in consumers. A large egg producer takes an SRS of $200$ eggs from all the eggs shipped in one day. The laboratory reports that $9$ of these eggs had salmonella contamination. Unknown to the producer, 0.1% (one-tenth of $1 %$ ) of all eggs shipped had salmonella.

Step 2: Explanation

Rotten one Sale that is polluted with salmonella can generate food contamination in customers. A huge egg maker takes an SRS of $200$ eggs from all the eggs carted in one day. The research facility says that $9$ of these eggs had salmonella defilement. Unrecognized to the maker, $0.1 %$ (one-tenth of $1 %$ ) of all transported had salmonella.

The individuals that are studied are considered as the population. Here, the population is all the eggs per day. The sample is the subpart of the population that is studied to get knowledge about the population. Here, $200$ eggs are sampled.

The parameter is the measurement of the actual population. Here, the proportion of eggs that have been shipped is the parameter which is $0.001$ in this case.

The statistic is the measurement of the sample. Here, the ratio of eggs in the sample that has been shipped is the parameter which $9 / 200 = 0.045$ in this case

Bad carpet The number of ﬂaws per square yard is a type of carpet material that varies with mean $1.6$ ﬂaws per square yard and standard deviation $1.2$ ﬂaws per square yard. The population distribution cannot be Normal, because a count takes only whole-number values. An inspector studies $200$ square yards of the material records the number of ﬂaws found in each square yard, and calculates $x$ , the mean number of ﬂaws per square yard inspected. Find the probability that the mean number of ﬂaws exceeds $2$ per square yard. Follow the four-step process.

The CLT applet Go to the textbook Web site (www whfreeman com/tp4e) and click on "Statistical Applets." Launch the Central limit Theorem applet. You should see a screen like the one shown here. Click and drag the slider to change the sample size, and watch how the density curve for the sampling distribution changes with it. Write a few sentences describing what in happening.

The name for the pattern of values that a statistic takes when we sample repeatedly from the same population is

(a) the bias of the statistic.

(b) the variability of the statistic.

(c) the population distribution.

(d) the distribution of sample data.

(e) the sampling distribution of the statistic.

What does the CLT say? Asked what the central limit theorem says, a student replies, "As you take larger and larger samples from a population, the histogram of the sample values looks mote and more Normal." ls the student right? Explain your answer.

You want to take an SRS $50$ of the $816$ students who live in a dormitory on a college campus. You label the students $001$ to $816$ in alphabetical order. In the table of random digits, you read the entries

$95592$ $94007$ $69769$ $33547$ $72450$ $16632$ $81194$ $14873$

The first three students in your sample have labels

(a) $955, 929, 400$

(b) $400, 769, 769$

(c) $559, 294, 007$

(d) $929, 400, 769$

(e) $400, 769, 335$
