P&S U V Practice

The document contains 14 problems related to statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The problems provide data in the form of tables or lists of values and ask the reader to analyze the data, identify any relationships or differences, and determine if hypotheses can be accepted or rejected based on the results. The problems cover a range of statistical techniques including chi-square tests, comparisons of means and variances, and testing assumptions about population parameters.

Problem: Two new food stuffs were introduced and public opinion was sought based

on the taste of the food stuff. The results are given below. Examine whether there is
an association between the category of the food stuffs and the taste of the food stuffs.
Category
A B
Tasty 620 380 1000
Not tasty 550 450 1000
Total 1170 830 2000

Problem: The measurements of the output of two units have given the following
results. Assuming that both samples have been obtained from the normal populations
at 10% level of significance, test whether the two populations have the same variance.
Unit A 14.1 10.1 14.7 13.7 14.0
Unit B 14.0 14.5 13.7 12.7 14.1

Problem: The mean life of a sample of 25 bulbs produced by a company is computed


to be 157 hours with a standard deviation of 120 hours. The company claims that the
average life of the bulbs produced by the company is 1600 hours using the level of
significance 0.05. Is the claim acceptable?

Problem: Two samples of sodium vapor bulbs were tested for length of life and the
following results were obtained:
Size Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation
Type I 8 1234 hrs. 36 hrs.
Type II 7 1036 hrs. 40 hrs.
Is the difference in the means significant to generalize that Type I is superior to Type
II regarding length of life?
Problem: Ten soldiers precipitated in a shooting competition in the first week. After
intensive training they participated in the competition in the second week. Their
scores before and after training are given below as follows. Does the date indicate that
the soldiers have been benefited by the training?
Scores Before 67 24 57 55 63 54 56 68 33 43
Scores After 70 38 58 58 56 67 68 75 42 38

Problem: Time taken by the workers in performing a job by method I and method II
is given below.
Method I 20 16 26 27 23 22 -
Method II 27 33 42 35 32 34 38
Do the data show that the variances of time distribution from population from which
these samples are drawn do not differ significantly?

Problem: Children having one parent of blood-type M and the other type N will
always be one of the three types M, MN, N and average proportions of these are 1:2:1.
Out of 300 children having one M parent and one N parent, 30% were found to be of
'type M, 45% of type MN and the remaining of type N. Use  2 to test the hypothesis.

Problem: A certain drug was administered to 456 males, out of a total 720 in a certain
locality, to test its efficacy against typhoid. To incidence of typhoid is shown below.
Find out the effectiveness of the drug against the disease. (The table value of for 1
degree of freedom at 5% level of significance is 3.84.)
Infection No Infection Total
Administering the drug 144 312 456
Without administering the drug 192 72 264
Total 336 384 720
Problem: A random sample of 10 boys had the following I.Q 70, 120, 110, 101, 88, 83,

95, 98, 107 and 100.


a) Do these data support the assumption of population mean I.Q of 100.
b) Find a reasonable range in which most of the mean I.Q value of samples 10 girl lie.

Problem: Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a test course.
Then the same 12 cars (with the same drivers) were equipped with regular belted tires
and driven over the same course. After each run, the cars’ gas economy (in km/l) was
measured. Is there evidence that radial tires produce better fuel economy?
Gas Economy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Xi 4.2 4.7 6.6 7.0 6.7 4.5 5.7 6.0 7.4 4.9 6.1 5.2
Yi 4.1 4.9 6.2 6.9 6.8 4.4 5.7 5.8 6.9 4.7 6.0 4.9

Problem: In order to determine the possible effect of a chemical treatment on the rate
of germination of cotton seeds a pot culture experiment was conducted. The results
are given below
Chemical treatment and germination of cotton seeds
Germinated Not germinated Total
Chemically Treated 118 22 140
Un treated 120 40 160
Total 238 62 300

Problem: A pair of dice are thrown 360 times and the frequency of each sum is
indicated below.
Sum 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Frequency 8 24 35 37 44 65 51 42 26 14 14
Would you say that the dice are fair on the basis of the chi-square test at 0.05 level of
significance?
