1. Discuss and apply testing of significance for a small sample.
2. Explain sampling distribution and construct an example.
3. A random sample of size 20 from a normal population has a mean of 42 and a standard
deviation of 5. Analyse the test of the hypothesis that the population mean is 45. Use a
5% level of significance.
4. The mean life time of a sample of 100 fluorescent light bulbs produced by a company is
computed to be 1570 hours with a standard deviation of 120 hours. The company claims
that the average life of the bulbs produced by it is 1600 hours. Analyse and using the
level of significance 5%, is the claim acceptable?
5. What is the standard error of proportion? If a coin is fair, choose the probability of
getting a head.
6. Define null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
7. A machine that produces mica insulating washers for use in electric devices to turn out
washers having a thickness of 10 mm. A sample of 10 washers has an average thickness
of 9.25 mm with a standard deviation of 0.6 mm. Analyse the t-test of the hypothesis.
8. In an experiment on pea breading, the following frequencies of seeds were obtained:
Round and Wrinkled and Round and Wrinkled and Total
Yellow Yellow Green Green
315 101 108 32 556
The theory predicts that the frequencies should be in proportions 9:3:3:1. Examine the
correspondence between theory and experiment.
9. State the level of significance and its role.
10. Explain the difference between the population mean test and the population proportion
test.
11. Assume a random sample of size 16 has 53 as mean, the sum of the squares of the
deviation from mean is 135. Can this sample be regarded as taken from the population
having 56 as mean?
12. The following table gives the number of aircraft accidents that occur during various days
of the week. Find whether the accidients uniformaly distributed over the week:

No. of 14 16 8 12 11 9 14
accidents
Given: The value of the chi-square significant at 5, 6, 7, d.f. are respectively 11.07, 12.59,
14.07 at the 5% level of significance.
