SIX1016 Statistics Test 2

The document contains the details of Statistics Test 2 from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Malaya. [1] It provides experimental data on the effect of temperature on chemical concentration. Students are asked to identify the value of k based on their student ID, find the least squares regression equation and interpret the slope, compute the coefficient of determination, and assess if the equation can be used to predict concentration at 5°C. [2] It also shows a diagram of score distributions for five student majors. Students are asked to suggest a suitable test to compare major means, justify if its assumptions are met based on the diagram, and perform the test using the given sum of squares data and state their

Answer all questions.

1. The concentration level of a particular chemical produced changes with temperature.


An experiment to observe the effect of temperature (in degree Celsius, C) on the
concentration level (in mg/L) of the chemical produced is conducted. The following
results are obtained. At each temperature, the experiment was repeated twice
independently under the same experimental condition.

Temperature, 𝑥 Concentration Level, 𝑦

d) Is it reasonable to use the equation in part (b) to predict the concentration level of
the chemical produced under the same experimental condition at 5C? Justify
your answer.

2. A lecturer wants to compare the scores of students from five different majors (A, B, C,
D and E) in her class at the end of a particular semester. The following diagram shows
the distributions of the scores for a total of 250 students from the five different majors.

a) Suggest a suitable test of hypotheses to test for the equality of means for the scores
between the five majors. Based on the diagram, justify whether the assumptions
of the suggested test are met.

(3 marks)

b) It is given that the within-sample sum of squares is 7888.5 and the total sum of
squares is 29322. At the 5% significance level, perform the test suggest in part a)
and state your conclusion.
