Q1 is almost correct. Q2 to Q5 have calc mistakes.
(Q2 also needs swapping of SS1 n SS2, to get its ans as >1.)

1. An insurance agent has claimed that the average age of policyholders who insure
through him is less than the average for all the agents, which is 35 years. A random
sample of 40 policyholders who insured through him gave an average of 32 years with
the standard error of 2 years. Using 𝛼 at 5% level of significance, ascertain whether the
insurance agent's claim is justified? Also find P-value.
Below `values to be corrected from above steps:

t= -1.5
P value = 0.6681

Q2. In a sample of 10 observations the sum of squares of deviation of the sample

values from the sample mean was 120 and another sample of 12 observations, it was
found to be 614. Test whether the differences of variances is significant at 5%.

Let σ₁² and σ₂² be the variances of the two populations, and let s₁² and s₂² be the sample variances

computed from samples of size n₁ and n₂, respectively. The F-statistic is given by:
F = s₁² / s₂²

Under the null hypothesis of equal variances, the F-statistic follows an F-distribution with (n₁-1) and

(n₂-1) degrees of freedom.

In this problem, we are given the sum of squares of deviation for two samples, from which we can

compute the sample variances:

s₁² = 120 / (10-1) = 13.33

s₂² = 614 / (12-1) = 55.818

Substituting these values into the formula for the F-statistic, we get:

F = 55.818/13.33 = 4.1

Using an F-distribution table with (9, 11) degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.05, we find

that the critical value of F is 3.1 for a two-tailed test.

Therefore, we can conclude that there is not enough evidence to suggest that the variances of the

two populations are significantly different at a 5% significance level.

Q3. Mechanical engineers testing a new arc welding technique, classified welds both
with respect to appearance and an X-ray inspection X-ray
Test for independence using 0.05 level of significance
Q4. Three brands of flashlight batteries are to be compared by testing each brand in 4
flashlights. Twelve flashlights are randomly selected and divided randomly into three
groups of four flashlights each. Then each group of flashlights uses a different brand of
battery. The lifetimes of the batteries, to the nearest hour, are as follows

Preliminary data analyses indicate that the independent samples come from normal
populations with equal standard deviations. At the 5% significance level, does there
appear to be a difference in mean lifetime among the three brands of batteries?
Q5. Calculate the two regression equations on X on Y and Y on X from the data given
below, taking deviations from a actual means of X and Y.

Estimate the likely demand when the price is Rs.20.

Note: ( b dash also reqd as the question asks ‘two regression equations on X on Y and
Y on X’), here a (sometimes c) is constant. b is slope.

In the above - reverse it to find the b dash
