Mode= 2 as it has highest frequency

Median: N/2= 30/2= 15
Cumulative freq just greater than 15 is 19 corresponding to 2. So 2 is the median.
Range= maximum- minimum= 7-1=6
Q1: N/4 = 30/4= 7.5
Cumulative freq just greater thn 7.5 is 8 corresponding to 1

So Q1 is 1
Q3= 3N/4= (3×30) /4= 22.5
Cumulative freq just greater than 22.5 is 25 corresponding to 3

So 3 is Q3
IQR= Q3- Q1= 3-1= 2

determine the size of their operations. When asked to report how many employees now
work in their telemarketing operation, the companies gave responses ranging from 1 to 100.

UNIT 5

1) Describe briefly the Type I and Type II errors

ANS:

Type I and Type II errors are subjected to the result of the null hypothesis.
In case of type I or type-1 error, the null hypothesis is rejected though it is
true whereas type II or type-2 error, the null hypothesis is not rejected even
when the alternative hypothesis is true. Both the error type-i and type-ii are
also known as “ false negative ”.

2) n=20, p=0.15, Calculate binomial probability P(x=5) =

ANS:
Answer to the question)
Sample size ( n) = 20

Part a)
Probability of success = p= 0.15

P(x ? 5) = 1 - P(x=0) - P(x=1) - P(x=2) - P(x=3) - P(x=4)

The formula of binomial probability is:

P(X=x) = nCx * p^x * (1-p)^n-x

we got n = 20

p = 0.15

P(x=0) = 20C0 * 0.15^0 * 0.85^20 = 0.0388

P(x=1) = 20C1 *0.15^1 * (0.85)^19 = 0.1368

P(x=2) = 20C2 * 0.15^2 * 0.85^18 = 0.2293

P(x=3) = 20C3 * 0.15^3 * 0.85^17 = 0.2428

P(x=4) = 20C4 * 0.15^4 0.85^16 = 0.1821

P(x ? 5) = 1 - 0.0388 - 0.1368 - 0.2293 -0.2428 - 0.1821

P(x ? 5) = 0.1702

3) n=20, λ=0.15, Calculate Poisson probability P(x>1) = ?

5) A computer manufacturer estimates that its line of minicomputers has, on average, 8.4 days of
downtime per year. To test this claim, a researcher contacts seven companies that own one of
these computers and is allowed to access company computer records. It is determined that, for
the sample, the average number of downtime days is 5.6, with a sample standard deviation of
1.3 days. Assuming that number of down-time days is normally distributed. Test to determine
whether these minicomputers actually average 8.4 days of downtime in the entire population.
