PART B (5 16 80 marks)

Suppose
(a) factory uses three machines A B.C to produce certain items.
11. A of which 3% are defective,
machine
machine A produces 50% of tho items machine
of which 4% are defective and
B produces 30% of the items defective
Cproduces 20% of the items of which 5% are
selected item is defective. (6)

 (b) (i) State central limit theorem. Using central limit theorem to solve
the following problem. The amount of a particular impurity in a
batch of a certain chemical product is a random variable with mean
value 4.0 g and standard deviation 1.5 g. If 50 batches are
independently prepared. What is the probability that the sample
average amount of impurity is between 3.5 and 3.8 g? (8)

(ii) In a test given to two groups of students, the marks obtained are as
follows:
Group 1: 18 20 36 50 49 36 34 49 41
Group 2: 29 28 26 35 30 44 46
Test the significance of difference between means of the marks
secured by the students of the two groups at 5% level of
significance. (10)
Or

(b) (i) Tests of fidelity and the selectivity of 190 radio receivers produced
the results as shown below:

Fidelity
Low Average High
Selectivity Low : 6 12 32

Average: 33 61 18

High: 13 15 0

Use 0.01 level of significance to test whether there is a relationship

between fidelity and selectivity. (10)
(iü) Test the null hypothesis H,:o;=o, against
H,:o<a, at 0.01 level of significance of
8, =52.6, s, =84.2, n, =28 and n, =26. (6)

 14. (a) Consider the following data: (16)
A: 19 43

B 19 47

C'arry out an analvsis of variance F test at significance level 0.05 and

summarize the results in an ANOVAtable.
Or
(b) Consider following data (16)
B B Ba
A, 16 24 19
A 15 25 18
A3 21 31 15
Use the above data to test at the 0.05 significance level, whether the
column means and row means are equal.
15. (a) The number of customer complaints received daily by an organisation is
given below:
12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Day:
No. of complaints: 2 3 0 1 9 2 0 0 4 2 0 7 2 4

Does it mean that the number of complaints is under statisticalcontrol?

Establish a control scheme for the future. (16)
