Question

7.2.4 in Modern Dive with different sample sizes and repetitions

1.a) Take 1180 samples of size of 26 instead of 1000 replicates of size 25 from the bowl dataset. Assign the output to virtual_samples_26

virtual_samples_26 <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 26, reps = 1180)

1.b) Compute resulting 1180 replicates of proportion red

virtual_prop_red_26 <- virtual_samples_26 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 26)

1.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_26 via a histogram

use labs to

label x axis = “Proportion of 26 balls that were red” create title = “26”

ggplot(virtual_prop_red_26, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 26 balls that were red", title = "26") 

Segment 2: sample size = 55

2.a) Take 1180 samples of size of 55 instead of 1000 replicates of size 50.

virtual_samples_55  <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 55, reps = 1180)

2.b) Compute resulting 1180 replicates of proportion red

virtual_prop_red_55 <- virtual_samples_55 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 55)

2.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_55 via a histogram

ggplot(virtual_prop_red_55, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 55 balls that were red", title = "55") 

Segment 3: sample size = 110

3.a) Take 1180 samples of size of 110 instead of 1000 replicates of size 50. Assign the output to virtual_samples_110

virtual_samples_110  <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 110, reps = 1180)

3.b) Compute resulting 1180 replicates of proportion red

virtual_prop_red_110 <- virtual_samples_110 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 110)

3.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_110 via a histogram

use labs to

ggplot(virtual_prop_red_110, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 110 balls that were red", title = "110") 

Calculate the standard deviations for your three sets of 1180 values of prop_red using the standard deviation

n = 26

virtual_prop_red_26  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 × 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0973

n = 55

virtual_prop_red_55  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 × 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0632

n = 110

virtual_prop_red_110  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 × 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0453

The distribution with sample size, n = 110, has the smallest standard deviation (spread) around the estimated proportion of red balls.
