Question:

7.2.4 in Modern Dive with different sample sizes and repetitions - Make sure you have installed and loaded the tidyverse and the moderndive packages - Fill in the blanks - Put the command you use in the Rchunks in your Rmd file for this quiz.

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

Segment 1: sample size = 28

    1. Take 1150 samples of size of 28 instead of 1000 replicates of size 25 from the bowl dataset. Assign the output to virtual_samples_28
virtual_samples_28 <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 28, reps = 1150)
    1. Compute resulting 1150 replicates of proportion red
virtual_prop_red_28 <- virtual_samples_28 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 28)
    1. Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_28 via a histogram use labs to
ggplot(virtual_prop_red_28, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 28 balls that were Red", title = "28")

Segment 2: sample size = 53

    1. Take 1150 samples of size of 53 instead of 1000 replicates of size 50. Assign the output to virtual_samples_53
virtual_samples_53 <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 53, reps = 1150)
    1. Compute resulting 1150 replicates of proportion red
virtual_prop_red_53 <- virtual_samples_53 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 53)
    1. Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_53 via a histogram use labs to
ggplot(virtual_prop_red_53, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 53 balls that were Red", title = "53") 

Segment 3: sample size = 118

    1. Take 1150 samples of size of 118 instead of 1000 replicates of size 50. Assign the output to virtual_samples_118
virtual_samples_118 <- bowl  %>% 
rep_sample_n(size = 118, reps = 1150)
    1. Compute resulting 1150 replicates of proportion red
virtual_prop_red_118 <- virtual_samples_118 %>% 
  group_by(replicate) %>% 
  summarize(red = sum(color == "red")) %>% 
  mutate(prop_red = red / 118)

3.c) Plot distribution of virtual_prop_red_118 via a histogram use labs to - label x axis = “Proportion of 118 balls that were red” - create title = “118”

ggplot(virtual_prop_red_118, aes(x = prop_red)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.05, boundary = 0.4, color = "white") +
  labs(x = "Proportion of 118 balls that were Red", title = "118")

Calculate the standard deviations for your three sets of 1150 values of prop_red using the standard deviation

n = 28
virtual_prop_red_28 %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0938
n = 53
virtual_prop_red_53 %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0638
n = 118
virtual_prop_red_118 %>% 
  summarize(sd = sd(prop_red))
# A tibble: 1 x 1
      sd
   <dbl>
1 0.0430

The distribution with sample size, n = 118 , has the smallest standard deviation (spread) around the estimated proportion of red balls.
