ASSIGNMENT QUESTION

QUESTION 1

a) Find the value for and given the following sample sizes:

i) n=9
ii) n = 18
iii) n = 29

b) A battery manufacturing company plans to test the hypothesis of variance

population greater than 0.49 year with alpha 0.01. A random sample of 15
batteries has a standard deviation of 0.5 years claims that the life of the batteries is
approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.7 year.
Is there enough evidence to support the company’s claim?
(15)
a) Cari nilai-nilai bagi  20.98 dan  20.02 berdasarkan saiz sampel berikut:
i) n=9
ii) n = 18
iii) n = 29

b) Sebuah syarikat pembuatan bateri merancang untuk menguji hipotesis populasi

varians lebih besar dari 0.49 tahun dengan alpha 0.01. Sampel rawak 15 bateri
mempunyai sisihan piawai 0.5 tahun menuntut bahawa jangka hayat beteri
mempunyai taburan normal dengan sisihan piawai 0.7 tahun.
Adakah bukti mencukupui untuk menyokong tuntutan syarikat itu?
QUESTION 2
An experiment was performed to compare the abrasive wear of two different laminated
materials. Eleven pieces of material 1 were tested by exposing each piece to a machine
measuring wear. Nine pieces of material 2 were similarly tested. In each case, the depth of
wear was observed. The samples of material 1 gave an average (coded) wear of 85 units
with a sample standard deviation of 4, while the samples of material 2 gave an average of
81 and a sample standard deviation of 5. Use a 0.1 level of significance to test the ratio of
two populations.
(15)
Satu eksperimen dilakukan untuk membandingkan haus kasar dari dua bahan berlapis.
Sebelas kepingan bahan 1 diuji dengan mendedahkan setiap kepingan pada mesin yang
mengukur kehausan. Sembilan kepingan bahan 2 diuji sama. Dalam setiap kes, kedalaman
pemakaian diperhatikan. Sampel bahan 1 memberikan purata (berkod) kehausan 85 unit
dengan sisihan piawai sampel 4, sementara sampel bahan 2 memberikan purata 81 dan
sisihan piawai sampel 5. Gunakan tahap signifikan 0.1 untuk menguji nisbah dua populasi.

QUESTION 3
A professor aims to explore and determine the importance of spending more time in
understanding the data behaviour and running the exploratory data analysis. She claims
that the longer the time (in hours per day) student’s spent on both aspects will produce
more excellent output in terms of writings and results (in average pages). A random
sample of 11 students were chosen and their output produced items were recorded as in
Table 1. Select an appropriate analysis and draw conclusions from the results of the
analysis.

Seorang profesor bertujuan untuk menentukan kepentingan menumpukan lebih banyak

masa dalam memahami tingkah laku data dan menjalankan analysis data penerokaan. Dia
membuat tuntutan bahawa semakin lama masa (dalam jam sehari) pelajar menumpukan
masa kepada kedua-dua aspek akan menghasilkan keluaran yang lebih cemerlang dari segi
penulisan dan hasilnya (dalam purata mukasurat). Sampel rawak 11 pelajar dipilih dan item
hasil keluaran mereka direkodkan seperti dalam Jadual 1. Pilih analisis yang sesuai dan buat
kesimpulan dari hasil analisa.

Jadual 1
Masa (jam setiap 4 3 5 7 8 9 7 6 5 9 10

Item Hasil Keluaran 7 8 9 13 14 15 11 10 11 15 16

QUESTION 4
The following are the scores that 12 students obtained on the mid-term and final
examinations in a biology course.

Mid-term examination, x Final examination, y

71 83
49 62
80 76
73 77
93 89
85 74
58 48
82 78
64 76
32 51
87 73
80 89

Find the equation of the least squares of a student’s final examination score in this course
based on his or her score in the mid-term examination. Interpret the result. Then, predict
the final examination score of a student who scored 82 in the mid-term examination.

(15)
Berikut adalah markah yang diperoleh 12 pelajar pada peperiksaan pertengahan penggal
dan akhir dalam kursus biologi.

Peperiksaan Pertengahan Peperiksaan Akhir, y

Penggal, x
71 83
49 62
80 76
73 77
93 89
85 74
58 48
82 78
64 76
32 51
87 73
80 89

Dapatkan persamaan kuasa dua bagi peperiksaan akhir pelajar dalam kursus ini berdasarkan
skornya bagi peperiksaan pertengahan penggal. Tafsirkan keputusan. Kemudian, ramalkan
skor peperiksaan akhir bagi pelajar yang mendapat skor 89 dalam peperiksaan pertengahan
penggal.
