1. A plant biologist claims that as the percentage moisture content of the soil in a
field increases, so does the percentage plant coverage. He splits the field into equal
areas labelled A, B, C, D and E and measures the percentage plant coverage and the
percentage moisture content for each area. The results are shown in the table below.
A B C D E
Coverage % 10 12 25 0 6

health or poor health and whether they have a good diet or a poor diet. The results are
summarised in the table below.
Good diet 86 8
Poor diet 91 15
Stating your hypotheses clearly, test the doctor’s belief using a 5% level of significance.

4. A college runs academic and vocational courses. The college has 1680 academic
students and 2520 vocational students.
(a) Describe how a stratified sample of 70 students at the college could be taken.
(3)
All students at the college take a basic skills test. A random sample of 50 academic
students has a mean score of 57 and a variance of 60. An independent random sample
of 80 vocational students has a mean score of 62 with a variance of 70
(b) Stating your hypotheses clearly, test at the 5% level of significance, whether or not
the mean basic skills score for vocational students is greater than the mean basic
skills score for academic students.
(7)
(c) Explain the importance of the Central Limit Theorem to the test in part (b).
(2)
(d) State an assumption that is required to carry out the test in part (b).
(1)
All the academic students at the college take a basic skills course. Another random
sample of 50 academic students and another independent random sample of 80
vocational students retake the basic skills test. The hypotheses used in part (b) are then
tested again at the same level of significance.
The value of the test statistic z is now 1.54
(e) Comment on the mean basic skills scores of academic and vocational students after
taking this course.
(2)
(f) Considering the outcomes of the tests in part (b) and part (e), comment on the
effectiveness of the basic skills course.
