Maths Assignment

Guidelines:
i. This Assignment is mandatory for everyone.
ii. It is mandatory to submit the answer with the screen shot of the output you have
received. Otherwise, no marks will be given.
iii. If anyone fails to submit the assignment within the last date. His/her assignment
will not be evaluated.

Questions:

1. If we define s= MSE, then of which parameter is s an estimate?

2. The null and alternative hypotheses for a one-way ANOVA test are...

H0 : μ1 = μ2 =L = μk
Ha : Not all means are equal.

Suppose in reality that the null hypothesis is false. Does this mean that no two of the
populations have the same mean? If not, what does it mean?
3. In a one-way ANOVA, identify the statistic used...
a. as a measure of variation among the sample means.
b. as a measure of variation within the samples.
c. to compare the variation among the sample means to the variation within the samples.
4. The times required by three workers to perform an assembly-line task were recorded on five
randomly selected occasions. Here are the times, to the nearest minute.

 6. Data on Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are published by the College Entrance Examination
Board in National College-Bound Senior. SAT scores for randomly selected students from each of
our high-school rank categories are displayed in the following table.
First test Second Third Fourth Fifth

Generate 5 random scores in each sub table from 100 to 500 and construct ANOVA table with
the help of excel. Calculate MSE, SSE, F statistics, Decision rule, Conclusion.
7. a. Explain the reason for the word variance in the phrase analysis of variance.
b. Write assumption of ANOVA.
8. Consider the example
Suppose the National transport Safety Board Wants to examine the safety of compact cars,
midsize cars, full-size cars. It collects a sample of 3 for each of the car types. Use hypothetical
data provided below, test whether mean pressure applied by the driver’s head during a crash
test is equal for each type of car. Use level of significance to be 5%.
Compact cars Midsize cars Full-size car

9. The weight of jar of coffee selected is a continuous random variable. The following table gives
the weight in kg of 100 jars recently filled by machine. It lists the observed values of the
continuous random variable and their corresponding frequencies.

Find probability for each weight category.

Weight Number of jars

0.900-0.925 1
0.925-0.950 7
0.950-0.975 25
0.975-1.000 32
0.975-1.000 30
1.000-1.025 5
