Answer -01
The frequency distributions and relative frequencies and relative frequency percentages for the
quantitative variables (height)

Here,
Minimum height = 140
Maximum height = 199
As it is mentioned that the number of classes should be 5, we have to take class interval=12

No of Relative Relative frequency

The quantitative data collected are the are the height and weight of 500 people in Dhaka city.
These data are continuous variable. As we know continuous variable are the data that can be
obtained by measurement on which uncountable set of values can be selected. Here, height and
weight are such continuous variable.

Actually, symmetric distribution is a graph where the mean, median, and mode are in the same
point. In a graph when a probability distribution of two or more modes present is called
multimodal graph. So, all the rules maintain in this polygon that's why it is a symmetric
multimodal.

Answer 04
Solution:
From “2”,
Mean, x̄ = 170
Standard deviation, s = 16.38
We know,
x−x̄
z=
s
For x=150 (in cm):
150−170
z=
16.38

=-1.22

For x=160 (in cm):

160−170
z=
16.38
= -0.61

Now, P (150 < x < 160)

=P (-1.22 < z < -0.61)
=0.2709-0.1112
=0.1597 or, 15.97%
Thus, the probability is 15.97% that the height of a randomly selected person from Dhaka city
will be between 150cm and 160cm.

Shaded Area = 0.1597

Answer-5
Solution:
Given information,
n = 500
x̄ = 170 cm and
σ = 16.38 cm
Now,

Point estimate of μ = x̄ = 170 cm

16.38
Sigma x bar (σx̄) = =0.7325358694 cm
√ 500

Confidence level is 95% or 0.95. Here, the area in each tail of the normal distribution curve is
α/2= (1-0.95)/2=0.025.

Hence, z = 1.96

x̄ ± zσx̄ = 170±1.96(0.7325358694)
= 168.56 to 171.43

Thus, we can state with 95% confident that the mean height of all the citizens of Dhaka City is
between 168.56 cm and 171.43 cm.

Answer 6.
Frequency Distribution for Gender:
Gender Frequency, F Relative Frequency, Percentage (%)

Male 245 0.49 49
Female 255 0.51 51

Frequency Distribution for Opinion:

Opinion Frequency, F Relative Frequency, Percentage (%)
 RF

Answer 7.
Two Way Classification Table:
Category In Favor (I) Against (A) Total
Male (M) 108 137 245
Female (F) 92 163 255
Total 200 300 500

Answer 8.
P (Female | In Favor) = P (F | I) = 92 / 200 = 0.46
There is a 46% probability that a randomly selected individual is a Female given that she’s In

Favor.

Answer 9.
P (Female and in Favor) = P (F and I) = P (I)  P (F | I) = 200/500  92/200 = 92/500 = 0.184
There is a 18.4% probability that a randomly selected individual is a Female and she’s In Favor.

Answer 10.
P (Male or In Favor) = P (M or I) = P (M) + P (I) – P (M and I) = 245/500 + 200/500 – 108/500
= 337/500 = 0.674

There is a 67.4% probability that a randomly selected person is a Male or In Favor.

Answer 11.
H0 : μ =164 ; No significant difference between the height of population in Dhaka
H1 : μ ≠164; there is significant difference between the height of population in Dhaka
σ = 16.38 x́ = 170 n= 500
Here, the population standard deviation sigma (σ ) = 16.38; the sample size is large (n > 30).
According to the Central Limit Theorem, we will use the normal distribution to find the p-value
and perform the test.
x́−μ 0
∴Z= . √n
σ
170−164
= . √500
16.38
= 8.190
for significant level of 5%;
Zσ/2 = Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.960
∴ P value <0.05;
Hence the null hypothesis is rejected at the significant level of 5%; the p value does not exceed
0.05 and can conclude that the mean height of the dwellers of Dhaka city! increased in the past 3
years.

Answer 12.
Sample n= 500
Significant level σ = 10% = 0.1
Mean of population weight μ = 120
Standard deviation of population = 25
Mean at sample weight x́= 106
Standard deviation of sample σ = 32.38
Hypothesis: H0 : μ =120
H1 : μ ≠120
It is a two-tail test
x́−μ
∴Z =
σ /√n
106−120
=
32/√ 500
=9.782
Zσ/2 = Z0 1/3 = Z0.5 = -1.645
Hence, Z < Zσ/2
Critical region:
(-∞ , -1.645) ∪ (1.645, ∞ )
Decision:
Z score belong to the critical region, we reject H0 and accept H1
Under 10% level of significance, we can reject null hypothesis and we conclude that the mean
weight of all citizens living in Dhaka city is different from 120 pounds.
