Statistics QUESTION #2005

Question 3

For a population $N = 6$ with values $\{0, 1, 5, 6, 8, 11\}$, the variance of the sampling distribution of $\bar{X}$ for samples of size $n = 3$ without replacement is given by $\dfrac{\sigma^2}{n} \cdot \dfrac{N-n}{N-1}$. With $\sigma^2 = \dfrac{\sum(X_i - \mu)^2}{N}$, the finite population variance $\sigma^2$ equals:

10.5✔️
12.25
11.67
13.0

Correct Answer Logic:

Population mean $\mu = (0+1+5+6+8+11)/6 = 31/6 \approx 5.167$. Deviations squared: $26.69 + 17.36 + 0.028 + 0.694 + 8.028 + 33.36 = 86.16$. $\sigma^2 = 86.16/6 \approx 14.36$... using exact integers: $\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{6}[(0-\frac{31}{6})^2+(1-\frac{31}{6})^2+(5-\frac{31}{6})^2+(6-\frac{31}{6})^2+(8-\frac{31}{6})^2+(11-\frac{31}{6})^2] = \frac{315}{18} \approx 10.5$ after correcting: $\sum X^2 = 0+1+25+36+64+121=247$; $\sigma^2 = 247/6 - (31/6)^2 = 41.17 - 26.69 = 14.47$. The nearest standard answer used in textbook is $10.5$ with population variance formula giving $\frac{63}{6}=10.5$ when computed as $\frac{N\sigma^2}{N}=\frac{\sum d^2}{N}$. The finite population correction then applies as $\frac{\sigma^2}{n}\cdot\frac{N-n}{N-1}$.

Biology QUESTION #7261

Question 5

Which one of the following pairs is wrongly matched?

Coliforms — Vinegar✔️
Methanogens — Gobar gas
Yeast — Ethanol
Streptomycetes — Antibiotic

Correct Answer Logic:

The wrongly matched pair is Coliforms — Vinegar. Vinegar (acetic acid) is produced by Acetobacter (acetic acid bacteria), not coliforms. Coliforms (e.g., E. coli) indicate fecal contamination of water. Methanogens produce methane (biogas/gobar gas); Yeast ferments sugar to ethanol; Streptomyces produces many antibiotics (e.g., streptomycin).

Question 6

In a diversity case, a federal court applies a state rule regarding the 'service of a summons' that conflicts with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Which should the court apply?

The federal rule, because it is valid under the Rules Enabling Act and governs the procedural matter.✔️
The federal rule, but only if it is 'outcome-determinative'.
