Let 𝑋1,…,𝑋5$X_1,\ldots,X_5$ and 𝑌1,…,𝑌8$Y_1,\ldots,Y_8$ be two independent simple random samples such as 𝑋𝑖~𝑁(𝑚 = 7,𝜎^2 = 50)that $X_i\sim\mathcal N(m = 7,\sigma^2 = 50)$ and 𝑌𝑖~𝑁(𝑚 = 5,𝜎^2 = 24)$Y_i\sim\mathcal N(m = 5,\sigma^2 = 24)$. Find a real number c$c$ such as 𝑃(𝑋̅−𝑌̅ > 𝑐) = 0.3that $𝑃(\bar X−\bar Y > c) = 0.3$
Should be an easy problem but I can’t understand if I’m solving it right. How to find this number c, that probability of 𝑋̅−𝑌̅$\bar X−\bar Y$ higher than c is equal 0.3? Please help
SolutionMy attempt:
Here I found variance of means and their difference:
Var(𝑋̅) = δ^2/n = 50/5 = 10;$Var(\bar X) = \delta^2/n = 50/5 = 10$;
Var(𝑌̅) = δ^2/n = 24/8 = 3;$Var(\bar Y) = \delta^2/n = 24/8 = 3$;
𝑋̅ ~ N(7, 10)$\bar X \sim \mathcal N(7, 10)$;
𝑌̅ ~ N(5, 3)$\bar Y \sim \mathcal N(5, 3)$;
𝑋̅−𝑌̅ ~ N(2, 13)$\bar X−\bar Y \sim \mathcal N(2, 13)$;
(𝑋̅−𝑌̅-2)/(√13) ~ N(0, 1)$(\bar X−\bar Y -2)/(√13) \sim \mathcal N(0, 1)$
