Interval estimate and Point estimate.

Type I Error vs Type II Error

Q.2. Explain Centre limit Theorem. (Understand)

Q.3. A random variable X has the following probability distribution: (Understand)

𝑥 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
𝑃(𝑥) 2𝑘 𝑘 2𝑘 4𝑘 5𝑘 𝑘2 2𝑘 2 7𝑘 2 6𝑘

Determine
(i) 𝑘
(ii) 𝑃(𝑋 < 3)
(iii) 𝑃(𝑋 > 6)

Q.4. If a gallon can of paint covers on the average 513.3 square feet(Ft2.) with a standard
deviation(s.d.) of 31.5 square feet(Ft2.). what is the probability that the mean area
covered by a sample of 40 of these 1 gallon cans will be anywhere from 510 to 520 square
feet(Ft2.)? (Understand)

Q.5.The claim that the variance of a normal population is 2 = 21.3 is rejected if the
variance of a random sample of size 15 exceeds 39.74. What is the probability that the
claim will be rejected even though 2 = 21.3? (Understand)

Q.6. Following is the record of number of accidents took place during the various days of
the week. (Apply)

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

120 140 200 90 140 120 180

Accidents took place in various days of the given week |

Can we conclude that accident s are independent of the day of week?

Q7.: A company claims that its batteries last an average of 40 hours. A sample of 30
batteries has a mean lifetime of 38 hours with a standard deviation of 5 hours. Test the
claim at a 5% significance level. (Apply)

Q8.: A survey shows that 60% of people prefer a new product. A random sample of 500
people showed 280 preferences. Test whether the preference rate differs from 60% at a
5% level. (Apply)

Q9: Two samples have variances of 25 and 16, with sizes 30 and 25, respectively. Test if
variances are significantly different at a 5% level. (Evaluate)

Q10:A college professor collects data on the amount of time spent on homework
assignments per week for a sample of 50 students in a statistics course. From the sample
of 50 students, the mean amount of time spent on homework assignments per week is
12.5 hours. The population standard deviation is known to be 6.3 hours.

The professor would like to forecast the amount of time spent on homework in future
semesters. Create a forecasted confidence interval using both a 90% and 95% confidence
interval and provide a conclusion regarding the confidence interval. Also compare the
widths of the two confidence intervals. Which confidence interval is wider? (Analyze)

Q11:A medical researcher wants to know if there has been a statistically significant
change in the proportion of smokers from five years ago, when the proportion of adult
smokers in the United States was approximately 28%. The researcher selects a random
sample of 1,500 adults, and of those, 360 respond that they are smokers. Calculate a 95%
confidence interval for the true population proportion of adults who smoke. Also,
determine if there has been a statistically significant change in the proportion of smokers
as compared to five years ago. (Analyze)

Q12: A college professor claims that the proportion of students using artificial intelligence
(AI) tools as part of their coursework is less than 45%. To test the claim, the professor
selects a sample of 200 students and surveys the students to determine if they use AI tools
as part of their coursework. The results from the survey indicate that 74 out of 200
students use AI tools. Use this sample data to test the claim made by the college professor.
Use a level of significance of 0.05 for this analysis.

What spending amount corresponds to the top 87th percentile? (Evaluate)

Q13: There is an assumption that there is no significant difference between boys and girls
with respect to intelligence. Tests are conducted on two groups and the following are the
observations (Create)

Validate the claim with 5% LoS (Level of Significance)
