Lab Assessment-3

1. In a city, a sample of 1000 people was taken and out of them 540 are laptop users and the
rest are desktop users. Can we say that both users are equally popular in the city at 5% level
of significance?

2. A sample of 900 members has a mean 3.4 and standard deviation 2.61. Is the sample from
a large population of mean 3.25 and standard deviation 2.61? Assuming population as
normal, find the 95% confidence limits for its mean.
3. In a sample of 400 parts manufactured by a factory, the number of defective parts was
found to be 30. The company, however, claimed that only 5% of their product is defective. Is
the claim tenable?
4. A sample of 100 students is taken from a large population and the mean height was found
to be 160cm. Can it be reasonably regarded that in the population the mean height is 165cm
with standard deviation 10cm.

5. In large city A, 20% of a random sample of 900 school boys had a slight physical defect. In
another large city B, 18.5% of a random sample of 1600 school boys had the same defect. Is
the difference between proportions significant?
