2. A research
[2 marks]

study obtained data regarding adult Selangorians willingness in paying extra twenty cents for a
plastic bag at a supermarket in order to protect the environment.  518 of 1154 respondents
reported that they were willing to do so.  

Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Selangorians
willing to pay extra twenty cents for a plastic bag at the time of research.

3. Christine, a product manager for a line of apparel, needs to introduce the product line into a new
market area. She strongly believes the product line will be adequately profitable only in markets
where the mean household income is at least RM29,000.
Survey of a random sample of 400 households in that market showed a mean income per
household of RM28,500 and standard deviation of RM7500.

Using a level of significance 0.05, test whether Christine has sufficient evidence to introduce the
product line into the new market.

4. A factory manufactures a particular type of medical gloves. A random sample of 60 medical

gloves is taken. The length x, in cm, of each glove is measured. The results are summarized
by ∑ x=1200 and ∑ x2=26152 .
a. Calculate unbiased estimates for the mean and variance of the length of the gloves.

[3 marks]

b. Determine a 99% confidence interval for the mean length of the gloves. [4

c. Test at the 1% significance level, the null hypothesis that the mean length of the
gloves is 21.5 cm.

5. It is claimed that the masses of components produced in a factory have a mean mass of 10g. A
random sample of 250 of these components are tested and the sample mean is 9.88g and with
standard deviation of 1.12g.

Test at the 5% level of significance, whether or not there has been a change in the mean mass of a
component..
