Q.1. a) J.J. Thomson (1856 - 1940) discovered the electron by
negatively charged particles for which he could
measure the mass - change ratio. The ratio appeared to
be constant over a wide range of experimental

sample of size n = 150 to estimate the average
mechanical aptitude (as measured by a certain test) of
assembly line workers in a large industry. If on the b
