Suppose that a small country consists of four states: A
(population 3,291,000) B (population 02,913,000), C (population
806,000), and D (population 990,000).
Suppose that there are M= 160 seats in the legislature, to be
apportioned among the four states based on their respective
populations. Find the apportionment of each state under
Jefferson's method. (Hint: Look for suitable divisors in the
interval 49,250 to 49,550.)
Complete the table of each state's apportionment below.

Suppose the population consists of FIVE individuals and the
elements are: S= {3, 6, 9, 12, and 15} Obtain samples of size 3
(use counting rule). Obtain the population mean and variance,
sample means and variances of the distribution. Would the mean and
variance change if the sample size were to increase? Prepare two
excel tables.
a) In an excel table show the various samples (Table-1).
b) Calculate the population mean and variance (Table-1).
c) Calculate the sample mean and...

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that
is normally distributed. The sample? mean, is found to be 112?, and
the sample standard? deviation, s, is found to be 10.
?(a) Construct a 95?% confidence interval about
mu? if the sample? size, n, is 18.
?(b) Construct a 95?% confidence interval about
mu? if the sample? size, n, is 11.
?(c) Construct a 70?% confidence interval about
mu? if the sample? size, n, is 18....

For this term, we will create confidence intervals to estimate a
population value using the general formula:
sample estimator +/- (reliability factor)(standard error
of the estimator)
Recall that the (reliability factor) x (standard error of the
estimator)= margin of error (ME) for the interval.
The ME is a measure of the uncertainty in our estimate of the
population parameter. A confidence interval has a width=2ME.
A 95% confidence interval for the unobserved population
mean(µ), has a confidence level =
1-α...

The following ``answers'' have been proposed.
(a) Take your sample to be a,d,g, i.e., the first element of each
stratum.
