Problem 2E

Consider the following 16 observed values, rounded to the nearest tenth, from the exponential

distribution that was given in this section:

12.0         9.4         10.0         13.5           9.3         10.1           9.6           9.3

9.1         9.2         11.0           9.1         10.4           9.1         13.3         10.6

(a) Take resamples of size $$n=16$$ from these observations about $$N=200$$, times and compute $$s^{2}$$ each time. Construct a histogram of these 200 bootstrapped values of $$S^{2}$$.

(b) Simulate $$N=200$$ random samples of size $$n=16$$ from an exponential distribution with $$\theta$$ equal to the mean of the data in part (a) minus 9. For each sample, calculate the value of $$s^{2}$$. Construct a histogram of these 200 values of $$S^{2}$$.

(c) Construct a $$q-q$$ plot of the two sets of sample variances and compare these two empirical distributions of $$S^{2}$$.
