Module -4 Statistical Inference - II
1. State central limit theorem. What is 95% and 99% confidence limits for unknown mean 𝜇 of a random
sample of size n?
2. Two samples of sizes 9 and 8 give the sum of squares of deviations from their respective means equal
to 160 inches2 and 91 inches 2 respectively. Can these be regarded as drawn from the same normal
population? Use 5% points of significance for F.
3. A mechanist is making engine parts with axle diameter of 0.7 inch. A random sample of 10 parts shows
mean diameter 0.742 inch with standard deviation of 0.04 inch. On the basis of this sample, would you
say that the work is inferior e, given t 0.05 (d.f = 9)= 2.262.
4. Test the hypothesis that the data follow a binomial distribution. [Given that 𝜒0.05 2 = 11.07]. A set of
five similar coins is tossed 320 times and the result is:
No of heads 0 1 2 3 4 5
Frequency 6 27 72 112 71 32
5. A certain stimulus administered to each of 12 patients resulted in the following increases of blood
pressure 5,2,8,-1,3,0,-2,1,5,0,4,6. Can it be concluded that the stimulus will in a general be
accompanied by an increase in blood pressure. (t 5%( (𝛾 = 11) is 2.2).
6. An unknown distribution has a mean of 90 and a standard deviation of 15. Samples of size 𝑛 = 25 are
drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is between 85 and 92.
[Link] that 10, 12, 16, 19 is a sample taken from a normal population with variance 6.25. Find 95%
confidence interval for the population mean.
8. The two independent samples of eight and seven items respectively had the following values of the
variable: Do the two estimates of population variance differ significantly at 5% l.o.s? F at 5% (𝜐1 =
7, 𝜐2 = 6=4.21).
Sample 1 9 11 13 11 15 9 12 14
Sample 2 10 12 10 14 9 8 10
[Link] following data relate to the marks obtained by 11 students in two tests. Second test is after iiintense
coaching. Do the data indicate that the students have benefited by coaching? (t 5%( (𝛾 = 10) is 1.81).
Test 1 19 23 16 24 17 18 20 18 21 19 20
Test 2 17 24 20 24 20 22 20 20 18 22 19
10. Fit a poission distribution to the data and test for goodness of fit at 5 % level of
significance
X 0 1 2 3 4
f 419 352 154 56 19
11. A random sample of 400 items chosen fron an infinite population is found to have a mean of 82 and
S,.D of 80. Find the 95% confidence limits for the mean of the population fron which the sample is
drawn.
12. The theory predicts the proportion of beans 9 : 3: 3: 1 in the four groups G1, G2, G3, G4
should be in the ratio 9 : 3: 3: 1. In an experiment with 1600 beans the numbers in th four
groups were 882,313, 287 and 118. Does the experimental result support the theory? (x 2 0.05
,at d.f 3 = 7.815)
