1. The following table gives the number of fatal road accidents that occurred during the 7 days
M

of a week. Write down the R programming code to test whether the accidents are uniformly
distributed over the week at 95 % level of confidence.

Day : Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Number : 8 14 16 12 11 14 9

2. A total number of 3759 individuals were interviewed according to gender and decision in a public
opinion survey on a political proposal with the results as in the following table. Write down the R
programming code to test the hypothesis that there is no association between gender and attitude
5 % level of significance.

Decision
Favoured Opposed Undecided
Male 1154 475 243
Female 1103 442 342
3. A random sample is selected from each of 3 makes of ropes (Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3) and
their breaking strength (in certain units) are measured with the results in the following table.

Type 1 : 70 72 75 80 83
Type 2 : 60 65 57 84 87 73
Type 3 : 100 110 108 112 113 120 107

Write down the R programming code to test whether the breaking strengths of the ropes differ
significantly at 5 % level of significance.
