f : 4 | 2 3 4 3 6 3 1
(b) Compute the median from the following data:
mid.value: ll5 125 135 145 155 165 175 185 195
Frequency: 6 25 48 72 116 60 38 22 3

Q2) (a) The mean and the variancecalculatedfrom a group of 80 observations

. are 6.3 and 25.93 respectively.If 60 of these observationshave
meafl:.64.8 and S.D.:4, find the meanand S.D. of the remaining2}
observations.

(b) In a normal distribution,3l%of the itemsareunder 45 and \o/aarc over

64. Find the meanand standarddeviation ofthe distribution.

Q5) (a) A coin is tossed900 times and headsappear 4g}times. Doesthe result
supportthe hypothesisthat the coin is unbiased?

(b) A drug is given to 10patientsandthe incrementsin their blood pressure

wererecordedto be 3,6,-2,4,-3,4,6,A,A,2.Isit reasonableto believethat
the drug has no effect on changeof blood pressure?

Q6) (a) The two randomsamplesrevealthe following data:

Sampleno. Size Mean Variance

I 15 MA 40

T 25 460 42

Testwhetherthe samplescorneflom the samenonnal population.

(b) The following datais collectedon two characters:

Smokers Non - smokers

Literate 83 57
Illiterate 45 68

Basedon this inforrnationcan you saythat there is no relation between

habit of smoking and literacy.
