Q4. A senior administrator of Mutiara Specialist Hospital stated that the number of
full-time employees in a hospital can be estimated by counting the number of
beds in the hospital (a common measure of hospital size). Kamila, healthcare
business researcher, decided to develop a regression model in an attempt to
predict the number of full-time employees of a hospital by the number of beds.
She surveyed 12 hospitals and obtained the following data. The data are presented
in sequence, according to the number of beds.

Ql. A hole-punch machine is set to punch a hole 1.84 centimeters in strip of sheet
metal in a manufacturing process. The strip of metal is then creased and sent on to
the next phase of production, where a metal rod is slipped through the hole. It is
important that the hole be punched to the specified diameter of 1.84 cm. To test
punching accuracy, technicians have randomly sampled 12 punched holes and
measured the diameters. The data (in centimeters) are as follows.

Q2. At the Menara Manufacturing Company, new employees are expected to attend a
three-day seminar to learn about the company. The traditional training method
(named Method A) has been lecture and a question-and-answer session.
Management decided to experiment with a different training procedure, which
processes new employees in two days by using videocassettes and having no
question-and answer session (named Method B). If this procedure works, it could
save the company thousands of ringgit over a period of several years. However
there is some concern about the effectiveness of Method B.
To test the difference in the two methods, the managers randomly select one
new employees for Method B. The following table shows the test scores of the
two groups.

variances are approximately equal. Alpha : 0.05. State your finding. (Hint:
Two-sample test, o unknown.)

significant difference in the price to earnings (P/E) ratio for companies from one
year to the next. In an effort to study this question, he randomly samples nine (9)
companies from the Handbook of Common Stocks and records the P/E ratios for
each of these companies at the end of 2003 and at the end of 2004. The data are
shown below:

The data are related data because each P/E value for 2003 has a conesponding
2004 measurement on the same company. Because no prior information indicates
whether P/E ratios have gone up or down, the hypothesis tested is two-tailed.
Assume o:0.01. Assume that differences in P/E ratios are normally distributed
in the population.

Q5. Dairy producers would like to know whether the sales of milk are distributed
uniformly over a year so they can plan for milk production and storage. A
uniform distribution means that the frequencies are the same in all categories. In
this situation, the producers are attempting to determine whether the amounts of
milk sold are the same for each month of the year. They ascertain the number of
gallons of milk sold by sampling one large superrnarket each month during ayear,
obtaining the following data. Use o: 0.01 to test whether the data fit a uniform
distribution. (Hint: State the hypothesis, the critical value, X2 test, the graph and
the finding.)
