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
classes Class Frequency frequencies percentage
1 140-151 87 0.174 17.40%
2 152-163 97 0.194 19.40%
3 164-175 102 0.204 20.40%
4 176-187 131 0.262 26.20%
5 188-199 83 0.166 16.60%
Total 500 1 100.00%
(Referred from the attached Excel sheet)

Again,

The frequency distributions and relative frequencies and relative frequency percentages for the
quantitative variables (weight):

Here,

Minimum weight = 50

Maximum weight = 160

No of Relative frequency
classes Class Frequency Relative frequencies percentage
1 50-71 98 0.196 19.60%

2 72-93 90 0.180 18.00%

 3 94-115 109 0.218 21.80%

4 116-138 89 0.178 17.80%

5 139-160 114 0.228 22.80%

Total 500 1 100.00%

(Referred from the attached Excel sheet)

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.

Answer -02
Mean 170 106
standard Deviation 16.38 32.38

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 (%)
RF
Male 245 0.49 49
Female 255 0.51 51
Total 500 1.0 100

Frequency Distribution for Opinion:

Opinion Frequency, F Relative Frequency, Percentage (%)
RF
In Favor 200 0.4 40
Against 300 0.6 60
Total 500 1.0 100

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

Male | In Favor
(108/200)

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 = μ0 x́ = 169.994
H1 : μ > μ0 σ = 16.38
μ0 = 164 n= 500

x́−μ 0
∴Z= . √n
σ
170−164
= . √500
16.38
= 8.190

=1-1.000
=0.000
∴ P value <0.05; rejects null
Hence the null hypothesis is failed to reject at the significant level of 5% and can conclude that
the mean height of the dwellers of Dhaka city has 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.
