Q.1) Assume that we are taking a diagonal 19.7 28.3
measurement of paintings received in an art 20.4 26.7
gallery. One group of samples includes 10 19.6 20.1
paintings, while the other includes 20 paintings. 17.8 23.3
18.5 25.2
Do differences really exist in the overall
18.9 22.1
populations of all the paintings received in the
art gallery? 18.3 17.7

Q.2) Calcium is an essential mineral that regulates the heart, is
important for blood clotting and for building healthy bones. The
National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a daily calcium
intake of 1000-1200 mg/day for adult men and women. While
calcium is contained in some foods, most adults do not get enough
calcium in their diets and take supplements. Unfortunately some of
the supplements have side effects such as gastric distress, making Normal Bone Osteopenia Osteoporosis
them difficult for some patients to take on a regular basis. Density
1200 1000 890
A study is designed to test whether there is a difference in mean
1000 1100 650
daily calcium intake in adults with normal bone density, adults with
osteopenia (a low bone density which may lead to osteoporosis) 980 700 1100
and adults with osteoporosis. Adults 60 years of age with normal 900 800 900
bone density, osteopenia and osteoporosis are selected at random
750 500 400
from hospital records and invited to participate in the study. Each
participant's daily calcium intake is measured based on reported 800 700 350
food intake and supplements.

Is there a statistically significant difference in mean calcium intake

in patients with normal bone density as compared to patients with
osteopenia and osteoporosis?
Q.3) The table below shows some data from the early days
of the Italian clothing company Benetton. Each row in the
table shows Benetton’s sales for a year and the amount
spent on advertising that year.

Explain the relationship between sales and advertising.

Q.4) Reis, Inc., a New York real estate research firm, tracks the cost of apartment rentals in the United States. In mid-
2017, the nationwide mean apartment rental rate was $895 per month. Assume that, based on the historical quarterly
surveys, a population standard deviation of σ = $225 is reasonable. Do the sample data enable Reis to conclude that
the population mean apartment rental rate now exceeds the level reported in2017?

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Q.5) The data below are for the money spent by men and women on Valentine’s Day. Compare the mean
amounts spent by men and women.

Men 107.48 143.61 90.19 125.53 70.79 83 129.63 154.22 93.8

Women 125.98 45.53 56.35 80.62 46.37 44.34 75.21 68.48 85.84 126.11

Q.6) Cost accountants often estimate overhead based on the level of production. At the Standard Knitting Co. they
have collected information on overhead expenses and units produced at different plants. Predict overhead when 50
units are produced.

Overhead 191 170 252 153 234

Units 40 32 53 35 40
Q.7) Following data are claim (in $ millions) for BlueCross Co. for 9 states, along with surplus that the
company had in assets in those 9 states. Compute the correlation coefficient between claims and
surplus. Also draw the scatter-plot.
