ASSIGNMENT UNIT-I (TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS)

PART-A

1. Define Type-1 and Type-2 errors in hypothesis testing.

2. A real estate agent claims that 60% of all private residences building
today are 3-bedroom homes. To test this claim, a large sample of new
residences is inspected; the proportion of these homes with 3 bedrooms
is recorded and used as our test statistic. State the null and alternative
hypotheses to be used in this test.

3. Write down the uses of χ2 distribution.

4. Define critical value of a test statistic.

5. What do you mean by degree of freedom?

PART-B

capacity (in millions of calories per ton) of specimens of a coal from two
mines:

Mine 2: 7,950 7,890 7,900 8,140 7,920

between the means of these two samples is significant.

7. To test the claim that the resistance of electric wire can be reduced by
more

than 0.050 ohm by alloying, 32 values obtained for standard wire yielded
the

mean value is 0.136 ohm and standard deviation is 0.004 ohm, and 32
values

obtained for alloyed wire yielded mean value is 0.083 ohm and standard

deviation is 0.005 ohm. At the 0.05 level of significance, does this

support the

claim?

8. To determine whether there really is a relationship between an

employee’s

performance in the company’s training program and his or her ultimate

success in the job, the company takes a sample of 400 cases from its
very extensive files and obtains the results shown in the following table:

Performance in training program

Below Average Above Total
Success in average average
job Poor 23 60 29 112
(employer’s Average 28 79 60 167
rating) Very good 9 49 63 121

in the training program and success in the job are independent.

71 has been chosen from a population with mean of 65 at 5% level of
significance.

10. Two random samples of 11 and 9 items show that the samples standard
deviations of their weights as 0.8 and 0.5 respectively. Assuming the
weight distributions are normal, test the hypothesis that the true
variances are equal, against the alternative hypothesis that they are not.

11. To compare the prices of certain production in two cities, ten shops were
selected at random in each town. The prices were noticed below.

City (x) : 61 63 56 63 56 63 59 56 44 61

City (y): 55 54 47 59 51 61 57 54 64 58

Test whether the average prices can be said to be the same in two cities.

12. The following data represents the monthly sales (in Rs.) of a certain
retail stores in a leap year. Examine if there is any seasonality in the
sales. 6,100, 5,600, 6,350, 6,050, 6,250, 6,200, 6,300, 6,250, 5,800,
6,000, 6,150 and 6,150.

13. In a random sample of size 500, the mean is found to be 20. In another
independent sample of size 400, mean is 15. Could the samples have been
drawn from the same population with S.D. 4. Use 1% level of significance.
 4

14. Two independent samples of sizes 8 and 7 contained the following values:

Sample I: 19, 17, 15, 21, 16, 18, 16, 14

Sample II: 15, 14, 15, 19, 15, 18, 16

Is the difference between the sample means significance? Use 5% level of

significance.

15. Fit a Poisson distribution for the following data and test goodness of fit
at 5% level of significance.

16. A total number of 3759 persons were interviewed in a public opinion

survey on a political proposal. Of them, 1872 were men and the rest
women. 2257 persons were favour of the proposal and 917 were opposed
to it. 243 men were undecided and 442 women were opposed to the
proposal. Justify or contradict the hypothesis that there is no association
between sex of persons and their attitude at 5% level of significance.
