Dep’t OF LSCM Instructor: Tilahun L Assignment of Statics for Management-II

1. A recent report stated that the day-care cost per week in Boston is $109. Suppose this figure is
taken as the mean cost per week and that the standard deviation is known to be $20.
a) Find the probability that a sample of 36 day-care centers would show a mean cost of $105 or less per week.
b) Find the probability that a sample of 36 day-care centers would show a mean cost of $105 or less per week.
2. A random sample of 100 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 14.3 credit
hours per quarter with a standard deviation of 1.7 credit hours.
a) Compute The 95% confidence interval for the mean
3. The following information is available Ho:  = 50
Ha=   50
The sample mean is 25, and the sample size is 36. The population standard deviation is 5. Use the 3%
significance level.
a) Compute the value of the test statistic
b) What is your decision regarding Ho?
4. A recent national survey found that high school students watched an average (mean) of 6.8 videos per
month. A random sample of 81 college students revealed that the mean number of videos watched last
month was 6.2, with a standard deviation of 0.5. Do college students watch fewer videos per month? At
the .05 significance level, can we conclude that college students watch fewer videos a month than high
school students?
a) State the null and alternative hypothesis.
b) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
5. From past records it is known that the mean life of a battery used in a digital clock is 305 days.
The lives of the batteries are normally distributed. The battery was recently modified to last longer.
A sample of 20 modified batteries were tested. It was discovered that the mean life was 311 day and
the sample standard deviation was 12 days. At the 0.05 level of significance, did the modification
increase the mean life of the battery??
6. An automatic bottling machine fills cola into two liter (2000 cc) bottles. A consumer advocate wants to
test the null hypothesis that the average amount filled by the machine into a bottle is at least 2000 cc. A
random sample of 40 bottles coming out of the machine was selected and the exact content of the selected
bottles are recorded. The sample mean was 1999.6 cc. The population standard deviation is known from
past experience to be 1.30 cc. Test the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level.
7. The following contingency table shows a random sample of 321 fatally injured passenger vehicle
drivers by age and gender. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that the drivers’ ages are related to gender in
such accidents?
