Questions (5-9): Students may choose between a 3-semester-hour physics course

without labs and a 4-semester-hour course with labs. The final written examination
is the same for each section. If 12 students (first sample) in the section with labs

made an average grade of 84 with a standard deviation of 4, and 18 students (second
sample) in the section without labs made an average grade of 77 with a standard
deviation of 6. Assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed
with equal variances. We are interested to find a 99% confidence interval for the
di↵erence between the average grades for the two courses.

Questions (10-12): A taxi company is trying to decide whether to purchase

brand A or brand B tires for its fleet of taxis. To estimate the di↵erence in the two
brands, an experiment is conducted using 12 of each brand. The tires are run until
they wear out. The results are
Brand A: x1 = 36,300 kilometers and s1 = 5000 kilometers.
Brand B: x2 = 38,100 kilometers and s2 = 6100 kilometers.

the students ride bicycles to class. In a random sample of 90 college students, 28 are
found to ride bicycles to class. Our aim is to test H0 : p = 0.25 vs H1 : p > 0.25 with
0.05 level a significance.

Questions (19-21): Past experience indicates that the time required for high
school seniors to complete a standardized test is a normal random variable with
a standard deviation of 6 minutes. Test the hypothesis that = 6 against the
alternative that < 6 if a random sample of the test times of 20 high school seniors
has a standard deviation s = 4.51. Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Questions (22-26): A gambler plays a game that involves throwing 3 dice in a

succession of trials. His winnings are directly proportional to the number of sixes
recorded. The frequencies of the sixes observed in 100 trials are recorded in the
following table:

Number of sixes Observed Count

0 47 (E1 =58)

1 35 (E2 =34.5)

2 15 (E3 =...)

3 3 (E4 =0.5)

Suppose that the number of sixes in a fair one trial has a Binomial distribution
B(3, 1/6). Our aim is to test the Goodness of fit of ”H0 : the dice have been
unfairly weighted” with a level of significance 0.05.

Questions (27-30): A random sample of 90 adults is classified according to gender

and the number of hours of television watched during a week:

Male Female

Over 25 hours 15 (E11 =20.5) 29(E12 =23.5)

Under 25 hours 27 (E21 =21.5) 19 (E22 =...)

Use a 0.01 level of significance and test the hypothesis that the time spent watching
television is independent of whether the viewer is male or female. The hypotheses are
H0 : A person’s gender and time spent watching television are independent.
H1 : A person’s gender and time spent watching television are not independent.
