D
A random sample of 10 boys had the following 1Qs: 70, 120, 110, 101, 88,
83, 95, 98, 107, 100. Does the data support the assumption of a population
mean IQ of 100? Find a reasonable range in which most of the mean IQ
values of samples of ten boys lie.
2)
The annual rainfall at a certain place is normally distributed with mean 30.
If the rainfalls during the past 8 years are 31.1, 30.7, 24.3, 28.1, 27.9, 32.2,
25.4 and 29.1, can we conclude that average rainfall during the past
8 years is less than the normal rainfall?
3)
Two random samples drawn from two normal populations gave the
following observations.
Sample 1: 20 16 26 27 23 22 18 24 25 19
Sample 2: 17 23 32 25 22 24 28 18 31 33 20 27
Test whether the two populations have the same variance.
H

Two random samples gave the following results:

Sample no. Size Mean Variance

1 16 440 40
2 25 460 42

Test whether the samples have been drawn from the same normal
population.
5)
The number of demands for a particular spare part in a shop was found to
vary from day to day. In a sample study, the following information was
obtained:
Day: Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat
No. of demands: 124 125 110 120 126 115
Test the hypothesis that the number of parts demanded does not depend on
the day of the week.
6)
 In 120 throws of a single die, the following distribution of faces are obtained:
Face: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Frequency: 30 25 18 10 22 15
Do these results support the equal probability hypothesis?
7
A certain drug is claimed to be effective in curing cold. In an experiment
on 500 persons with cold, half of them were given the drug and half of
them were given the sugar pills. The patients’ reaction to the treatment are
recorded in the following table:

Helped Harmed No effect

Drug 150 30 70
Sugar pills 130 40 80

On the basis of this data, can it be concluded that the drug and sugar pills
differ significantly in curing cold?
8)
The table given below shows the results of a survey in which 250
respondents were classified according to the levels of education and attitude
towards students’ agitation in a certain town. Test whether the two criteria
of classification are independent.

Attitude

Education Against Neutral For

Middle school: 40 25 5
High school: 40 20 5
College: 30 15 30
Postgraduate: 15 15 10

Test whether the two criteria of classification are independent.

9)
 The following tables gives the yields of wheat from 16 plots, all of
approximately equal fertility, when 4 varieties of wheat were cultivated in
a completely randomised fashion. Test the hypothesis that the varieties are
not significantly different.
Plot No. : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Variety : A B D C€ B CC A D B D
Yield 32 34 29 31 33 34 34 26 36 30
PlotNo. : 11 12 13 14 15 16
Variety : A C B A B C
Yield : 33 35 37 35 35 32
10)
A random sample is selected from each of 3 makes of ropes and their
breaking strength (in certain units) are measured with the following results:
I : 70,72,75, 80, 83
IT : 60,65,57,84,87,73
Ir : 100, 110, 108, 112, 113, 120, 107
Test whether the breaking strengths of the ropes differ significantly.
