    Practice Questions
    Lecture No 36 to 40

    Q1: Define one tailed and two tailed tests.

    t
    If n=10 and   0.05, then find the value of
    v
    Q2: 2 .

    t
    If n=5 and   0.05, then find the value of
    v
    Q3: 2 .

    Q4: If X  400   21 and n  29 , find upper limit of 95% confidence interval for the
    population mean µ

    Q5: P
    Calculate the pooled proportion c for the given data.

    Sample I: X 1  20, n1  100


    Sample II: X 2  30, n2  125

    If X  250, n  630 and p0  0.50, then find the z-test statistic for proportion.
    Q6:

    Q7: A sample of 100 electric light bulbs of type I showed a mean lifetime of 1190 hours and a
    standard deviation of 90 hours. A sample of 75 bulbs of type II showed a mean of 1230
    hours with a standard deviation of 120 hours. Is there a difference between the mean
    lifetimes of two types at a significant level of 5%?

    Q8: Random samples of 200 bolts manufactured by machine A and 100 bolts manufactured
    by machine B showed 19 and 5 defective bolts respectively. Test the hypothesis that
    machine B is performing better than machine A. Use a 0.05 level of Significance.
    Answer Keys

    t0.025(9) = 2.228
    A2:

    t0.025(4) = 2.776
    A3:

    A4: 407.643

    Pˆc  0.2222
    A5:

    A6: Z  5.139.

    A7: Z  2.42.

    Conclusion:
    z
    Since the calculated value of  z = 2.42 is greater than the critical value of  2 = 1.96, so we

    reject H 0 . or also we conclude that there is a difference between the two types of bulbs.

    A8: Z  1.35.

    Conclusion:
    Since the calculated value of z=-1.35 is greater than the critical value of z =-1.645, so we don’t
    reject H 0 . or also we conclude that machine B is not performing better than machine A.
