Assignment 4/25/18

Students: I am dealing with dual family emergencies today (everyone is ok

I am just needed for logistics etc).Your task is to work on the following assignment (also located

on Blackboard). Final exam will be up tomorrow. Friday we will work on the following to turn in

as well as answer preliminary questions on final exam. Call me if you have any questions (361-

815-3823). I will not be in Office tomorrow (Thursday) but will be in all Friday morning.

Follow the instructions and complete as much as possible.

Chapter 7 Excel Exercises:

1. Produce a string of random numbers.

2. From the population of 20 employees show below, select a random sample (without
replacement) of size 6. (Data in StatsFinalAssignment.xlsx).

3. Repeat the procedure in Exercise 2 to produce a simple random sample of size 8. Compute the
mean and standard deviation for the salaries in the sample by using necessary formulas (stdev.s,
average etc.).
 4. a. For a t-distribution
with 15 degrees of freedom
find the probability that t is
less than or equal to 2.31.
b. For a t distribution with
24 degrees of freedom find
the probability that t is
greater than or equal to
1.25.
(Note: here you can use
either T.DIST, which will give
you a “less than or equal to”
probability you will need to
subtract from 1.0 or you can
use T.DIST.RT (RT indicates
“right tail”), which will give a
“greater than or equal to” probability directly.)

5. a. for a t
distribution with 18
degrees of freedom
find the value for x such
that P(t is less than or
equal to x) = .95
b. for a t distribution
with 14 degrees of
freedom find the value
for x such that P(t is
greater than or equal to
x) = 0.1
c. for a t distribution
with 22 degrees of
freedom find the value
for x such that P(t is
less than or equal to x)
= .05
d. for a t distribution with 22 degrees of freedom find the value for x such that P(t is greater
than or equal to x) = .99.

6. a. for a t distribution with 8 degrees of freedom find the value for x such that P(-x is less than or
equal to t which is less than or equal to x) = .95
b. for a t distribution with 23 degrees of freedom find the value for x such that P(-x is less than
or equal to t which is less than or equal to x) = .9
 c. for a t distribution with 17 degrees of
freedom find the value for x such that
P(-x is less than or equal to t which is
less than or equal to x) = .99
d. for a t distribution with 14 degrees
of freedom find the value for x such
that P(-x is less than or equal to t which
is less than or equal to x) = .80

7. The following data shows the age, in weeks, for a simple random sample of 50 units selected
from company ABC’s large inventory of units (found in statsfinalassignment.xlsx tab 2).

Compute the mean and standard deviation of the sample data and use these values to construct
a 95% confidence interval estimate of the average age of the units in the inventory population.
