記述統計:平均は合計を n で割ったもの、中央値は並べ替えたデータの真ん中の値です(n が偶数なら真ん中 2 つの平均)。標本標準偏差は s = √(Σ(x − x̄)²/(n − 1))。z スコア z = (x − μ)/σ は、値が平均から標準偏差何個分離れているかを表します。
標準化する
z = (42.5 − 50)/15 = −0.5
答え
z = −0.5
5.信頼区間
答え: E₂ = 1.833
Confidence interval for a mean: x̄ ± margin of error. With a known population σ the margin is z·σ/√n; with only the sample standard deviation s, use t with n − 1 degrees of freedom: t·s/√n. Critical values: z = 1.645 (90%), 1.96 (95%), 2.576 (99%). To get a margin E or smaller, you need n ≥ (z·σ/E)², rounded up.
誤差の幅の比
E₂/E₁ = (1.96/1.96)·√(50/450) = 0.3333
新しい誤差の幅
E₂ = 5.5·0.3333 = 1.833
答え
E₂ = 1.833
6.信頼区間
答え: n = 385
Confidence interval for a proportion: p̂ ± z·√(p̂(1 − p̂)/n), where p̂ = x/n. To reach a margin E you need n ≥ z²·p(1 − p)/E², rounded up; without a prior estimate use p = 0.5, which gives the largest n.
n について解く
n = 1.96²·0.5·0.5/0.05² = 384.2
切り上げる
n = 385
答え
n = 385
7.仮説検定と信頼区間
答え: t = −2.211
Hypothesis test: the test statistic = (estimate − value under H₀)/(standard error under H₀). The p-value is the probability, assuming H₀ is true, of a statistic at least as extreme as the one observed: the area in one tail for a one-sided H₁, twice the tail area for a two-sided H₁. Reject H₀ when p ≤ α.
