07.a i A simple sample of heights of 6400 Englishmen has a mean of 170 2 C110.1 1,3 08
inches and a standard deviation of 6.4 inches, while a simple sample
of heights of 1600 Australians has a mean of 172 inches & a
standard deviation of 6.3 inches. Do the data indicates that
Australian are on the average taller than Englishmen?
07.a ii A random sample of 10 boys had the following I.Q’s : 70, 120, 110, 2 C110.1 1,9 08
101, 88, 83, 95, 98, 107, 100. Do these data support the assumption
of a population mean I.Q of 100 ? Find a reasonable range in which
most of the mean I.Q. values of samples of 10 boys lie.
(OR)

07.b i Fit a Poisson distribution to the given data and test the goodness 5% 2 C110.1 2,12 08
level of significance:

07.b ii Twenty people were attacked by a disease and only 18 survived. 2 C110.1 1,9 08
Will you reject the hypothesis that the survival rate, if attacked by
this disease, is 85% in favour of the hypothesis that it is more, at
5% level.

08.a i To test the claim that the resistance of electric wire can be reduced 2 C110.1 1,5 08
by more than 0.050 ohm by alloying, 32 values obtained for
standard wire yields the mean value is 0.136 ohm and standard
deviation is 0.004 ohm, and 32 values obtained for alloyed wire
yielded mean value is 0.083 ohm and standard deviation is 0.005
ohm. At the 0.05 level of significance, does this support the claim?
08.a ii Mechanical engineers testing a new era welding technique, 2 C110.1 14,11 08
classified welds both respect to appearance and X-ray inspection.
Test for independence using 0.05 level of significance.

08.b The following random samples are measurements of the heat 1 C110.1 2,3,12 16
producing capacity (in millions of calories per ton) of specimens of
a coal from two mines:
 Mine 1: 8130 8350 8070 8340 8260
Mine 2: 7950 7890 7900 8140 7920 7840

Use the 0.01 level of significance to test whether the samples could
have come from the same normal population.

09.a The following table shows the lives in hours of four brands of 2 C110.2 1,2,11 16
electric lamps.

09.b There are three main brands of a certain power. A set of 120 sample 1 C110.2 2,9,12 16
values is examined and found to be allocated among four groups
(A, B, C and D) and three brands (I, II, III) as shown here under:
