A group of economists wants to compare the mean annual leave among the US and EU workers. Two
samples of US and EU workers were obtained independently and analyzed.
The sample of 34 US workers had the mean annual leave of 14.7 days and the standard deviation 7.95 days.
The sample of 32 EU workers had the mean annual leave of 23.5 days and the standard deviation 3.86 days.
Use 10% level of significance to decide whether there is sufficient evidence that mean annual leave of US
workers is less than mean annual leave of EU workers.
Procedure: Two means T Hypothesis Test

Let μ₁ be the average number of students per class for the Portland Public School district. Let u₂ be the average number of students per class for the Beaverton School district. Assume the populations are normally distributed. A random sample of 28 Portland classes found a mean of 33 students per class with a standard deviation of 6.

- please give correct answer of this statistics and probability question.arrow_forwardCould you please help me answer parts b and c. Thanksarrow_forwardSuppose that we have data y = (1,...,n). Each data point y; is assumed to be generated by a distribution with the following probability density function: P(yi | n)=3nye, y; ≥0. The unknown parameter is >0. (a) Write down the likelihood for n given y, and find an expression for the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of n. (b) A Gamma(a, 3) distribution is chosen as the prior distribution for 7, where a > 0 and > 0 are known. Show that the posterior distribution of n, denoted p(n | A), is also a gamma distribution with updated parameters that you should determine.arrow_forward
