- This article is part of the Resource assessment exercises. See the category page for a (chronological) table of contents.
Take a sample of size \(n=100\) from trees and name this sample t.sample. This sample will be used for the exercises.
- What is the maximum and minimum value for
dbhin you sample? - Estimate the mean, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for the variable
height. - Estimate the standard error of the mean for the variable
dbh(without applying the fpc). How wide is the confidence interval when we set \(\alpha=0.01\)? - Test whether there is a difference in the estimate of the standard error when you apply the fpc.
- Estimate the required sample size for a relative standard error of 1%.
- Estimate the proportion of oak trees. Provide confidence intervals for your estimate.
