Quiz 3

Name: Bikram shrestha

TP Number: NP000022

Intake: NPI1F1909IT
Duration: 20 minutes

Answer ALL questions. Please fill in your answer in the table provided.

Question no 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Marks 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2
Answer A A C A D B B C D A

Solution:

1. The normal distribution is

Answer: A) a continuous probability distribution that has a bell its shape and
median.

2. The total area of normal distribution is equal to

Answer: A) 1

3. The degree of freedom of a t-distribution when σ is unknown and n<30 is


Answer: C) 0.5

4. The sample mean is called as a ……………………….. of the population mean.


Answer: A) point estimate

5. The general formula for all confidence interval is


Answer: D) Point Estimate ± (Critical Value)(Standard Error)
6. If value of X for a normal distribution is 35, and its mean and standard
deviation are 65 and 25 respectively then standardized Z-score is
Answer: B) -2.2
Solution:

X=3
Mean (µ) =65
Standard deviation (σ) =25
We know the formula for standardized Z-score=X-  µ
                                                                                 σ
=35-65/25
=-1.2 

7. A 99% confidence interval for the mean length of frog jump is (12.64 cm,
14.44cm).
Which of the following statement is a correct interpretation.
Answer: (B) 99% of the confidence interval after repeated sampling would
go from 12.64cm to 14.44cm.

8. The average monthly mortgage payment for recent home buyers in


Mississippi is normally distributed where µ = $732 with standard deviation
of σ = $421. A random sample of 125 recent home buyer is selected. The
approximate probability that their average monthly mortgage payment will
be more than $782 is
Answer: ()
Solution:
n = 125
µ = 732
S.D (σ) = 421

X = 782
Now,
Z= X -µ
σ
√n
= 782-732
421
√ 125
= 50 *11.1803
421
= 0.1188*11.1803
= 1.3278
= 1.33

Again,
P (X > 782) = p (Z> 1.33)
= 1-p(Z < 1.33)
= 1-0.982
= 0.0918

9. In a sample of 400 shops taken in 2005, it was discovered that 136 of them
sold carpets at below the list prices which had been recommended by
manufacturers. What size sample would have to be taken in order to
estimate the proportion to within ± 0.02? (Assuming 95% confidence)
Answer: (D = 2156)
Solution:
P = 1360/400 = 0.34
Q = 1-P =0.66
E = ±0.02
Z 1.96(from table)
Now,
Sample size = 0.34*0.66*(1.96/0.02)2
= 2156

10.To determine the mean cost of groceries in a certain city, an identical


grocery basket of food is purchased at each store in a random sample of 60
stores. If the average cost is

RM 47.52 with a standard deviation of RM1.69, find a 99% confidence


interval for the cost of these groceries in the city.

Answer: (A= 47.52+22.576(1.69/√60)


Mean ( X ) = 47.52
          σ= 1.69
          n=60
       Z=99%
            2.57
We know that,
                           = x̅+ z α/2 (σ/√ n)
                           = 47.52+22.576(1.69/√60)
