Question:

 

A manufacture of rayon wants to compare that the yield strength of 11⋅5 kg/ mm2 is met or not at 5% level of significance. The manufacturer draws a sample and calculates the mean to be 12⋅8kg/ mm2 and the standard derivation is known to be 2⋅0kg/ mm2 . Carry out the statistical test appropriate for this.
b) A box contains 10 screws, 3 of which are defective. Two screws are drawn at random. Find the probability that none of them is defective, if the sample is drawn
(i) with replacement,
(ii) without replacement.
c) A researcher measures the temperature of a solution 5 times. The observations are 25, 32, 27, 29, 30 o C. Determine an unbiased estimate of the temperature.

Question:

A shop manufacturer is trying to determine whether or not to market a new type of shop. It chooses a random samples of equivalent size in England and France. It asks each of the people in each sample to try the new soap, and see whether he or she likes it better than other soaps. The results are as follows:

  United States England France
Prefer new soap 81 43 26
Do not prefer it 219 257 274

 

Test the hypothesis that there are international difference in the proportion of people who prefer the new soap, using 5% level of significance.

Question:

) In a television appearance, an MLA from a state asks voters in that state to indicate whether the MLA should vote against or for a particular piece of legislation. The MLA office receives 4100 replies. Since voters from western part tends to be democrats while those from eastern parts tend to e communists, the MLA divides the replies on the basis of their geographical origin. 68% of the replies from the western part are against the legislation and 36% of the replies from the eastern part are against it.

(i) Did the MLA carry out a stratified sampling?

(ii) Did the MLA carry out a stratified random sampling?

(iii) How would you justify the sample design?

(iv) What improvements would you suggest?

 It is desired to estimate average annual wool yield per sheep for a herd of 150 at a certain farm house using stratified simple random sampling. Sheeps in the herd are to be grouped into three strata on the basis of first shaving in days. Optimum method sample allocation is said to be used for selecting the overall sample of 25 sheeps from the three strata. Determine approximately optimum strata boundaries using the information on first shaving given below.
