Problem I: A random sample of 300 customers was selected in a marketing study. Each
person tasted 5 different brands of soft drinks and asked to specify his preferred brand. The
results are given below. Test the null hypothesis that Brand D and E equally share 52% of the
market while Brand A,B and C equa 11ly Share 48%00 f t he rna rket Find p-value ?

Since observed X 2 =7.933 < X(~05 4 = 9.488, we accept Ho.

P-value P( X2 > 7.933) = .094

Problem II: The table below shows the number of males in the first seven children born to
l334 Swedish ministers of religion. The data were reported by Edwards and Fraccaro (El3).
Test the hypothesis that the number of males is binomially distributed with p = 0.51.

Kolmogorov Distance 0=.132 and cut-of point =d(0.05, 10)=0.409 . Since observed 0=.132
< 0.409, we accept Ho: data follow normal distribution.

Problem IV: Two methods of performing an assembly-line task were compared by having a
sample of 10 workers perform the task by method A and an independent sample of workers
perform the task by method B. The times in seconds required to complete the task are shown
in the following table. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in
population distributions? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

d(.05,10,1O) =.7
Since D < d(.05,10,10)
We accept Ho
This means that the two pop's have same distribution.
