Problem
(a) Explain what you understand by the sampling distribution of a statistic.
(1)
A factory produces beads in bags for craft shops. A small bag contains 40 beads, a medium bag contains 80 beads and a large bag contains 150 beads. The factory produces small, medium and large bags in the ratio 5:3:2 respectively.
A random sample of 3 bags is taken from the factory.
(b) Find the sampling distribution for the range of the number of beads in the 3 bags in the sample.
(7)
A random sample of n sets of 3 bags is taken. The random variable Y represents the number of these n sets of 3 bags that have a range of 70
(c) Calculate the minimum value of n such that P(Y=0)<0.2
(3)

A sampling distribution is the probability distribution of a statistic: it gives all possible values of the statistic and their associated probabilities.

先由生产比例得到三种袋子的抽取概率。三个袋子的珠子数只能是 40、80、150,因此极差只可能是 0、40、70、110。极差为 0 时三个袋子同型;其余情形则列出能产生相应最小值与最大值的组合,并乘上排列数计算概率。

Let R be the range. The probabilities of selecting the three bag sizes are
P(40)=P(80)=P(150)=0.5,0.3,0.2.
The possible values of R are 0, 40, 70 and 110. First,
P(R=0)
==(0.5)3+(0.3)3+(0.2)30.16.
For a range of 40, the possible combinations are (40,40,80) and (40,80,80). Each has 3!/2!=3 arrangements. Thus,
P(R=40)
==3(0.5)2(0.3)+3(0.5)(0.3)20.36.
For a range of 70, the combinations are (80,80,150) and (80,150,150), each with 3 arrangements. Thus,
P(R=70)
==3(0.3)2(0.2)+3(0.3)(0.2)20.09,
For a range of 110, the combinations are (40,40,150), (40,150,150) and (40,80,150). The first two each have 3 arrangements, while the last has 3!=6 arrangements. Hence,
P(R=110)
==3(0.5)2(0.2)+3(0.5)(0.2)2+6(0.5)(0.3)(0.2)0.39.
Therefore, the sampling distribution of R is
| r | P(R=r) |
|---|
| 0 | 0.16 |
| 40 | 0.36 |
| 70 | 0.09 |
| 110 | 0.39 |

由 (b) 可知,每组极差为 70 的概率是 0.09,所以 Y 服从参数为 n 和 0.09 的二项分布。事件 Y=0 表示所有 n 组的极差都不是 70,其概率为 0.91n;取对数后,因 log(0.91)<0,除以它时不等号必须反向,再取满足条件的最小整数。

From part (b),
Y∼B(n,0.09).
Therefore,
P(Y=0)==(1−0.09)n(0.91)n.
We require
(0.91)n<0.2.
Taking logarithms gives
nlog(0.91)<log(0.2).
Since log(0.91)<0, dividing reverses the inequality:
n>log(0.91)log(0.2).
log(0.91)log(0.2)=17.065…
Hence the minimum value is
n=18.
