A. Download the data set for this assignment.

Let's assume this data set is our population (all MATH classes who have taken this survey about how far you live from your school) with N=1,800. First, we need to examine the variable "Miles". This variable is the number of miles a student is from home. Use Stats/Basic Statistics/Display Descriptive Statistics to find the mean and standard deviation of this population. This will be (population mean) and (population standard deviation) respectively. Normally, we don't know and . But we do in this case for illustration purposes.

  1. What is the mean () and the standard deviation () for this population?
  2. We will now take a random sample of size n=200 from our population. To do this, open Calc>Sample from Cloumns. For the "Number of rows to sample" input 200. "From Columns" select the (Miles). "Store samples in" any new column. Don't click on the sample with replacement box.
  3. Using the sample you created in 2, construct and write a 95% Confidence Interval for . Does your Confidence Interval include ? Interpret the confidence interval. (Remember to explain if CLT is met or not).
  4. How large a sample is required to estimate the mean of the variable "Miles" within 50 miles (error) with 95% confidence? (Use the population standard deviation).

B. The diameter of the Douglas fir tree is measured at a height of 1.37 meters. The data represent the diameter in centimeters of a random sample of 12 Douglas firs in the western Washington Cascades.

  1. Obtain a point estimate for the mean and standard deviation diameter of a Douglas fir tree in the western Washington Cascades.
  2. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of a Douglas fir tree in the western Washington Cascades.
