Question:

7.2.4 in Modern Dive with different sample sizes and repetitions

Modify the code for comparing differnet sample sizes from the virtual bowl

Segment 1: sample size = SEE QUIZ

1.a) Take 1100 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 = 1100) 

2.b) Compute resulting 1100 replicates of proportion red

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

2.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_SEE QUIZ via a histogram

use labs to

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 3: sample size = 57

3.a) Take 1100 samples of size of 57 instead of 1000 replicates of size 50. Assign the output to virtual_samples_57

virtual_samples_57  <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 57, reps = 1100)

3.b) Compute resulting 1100 replicates of proportion red

virtual_prop_red_57 <- virtual_samples_57 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 57)

3.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_57 via a histogram

use labs to

ggplot(virtual_prop_red_57, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 57 balls that were red", title = "57")

3.a) Take 1100 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 =50, reps=1100)

3.b) Compute resulting 1100 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

Calculate the standard deviations for your three sets of 1100 values of prop_red using the standard deviation

n = 26

virtual_prop_red_26  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0936

n = 57

virtual_prop_red_57  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0636

n =110

virtual_prop_red_110  %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0301

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