1. A population consist of five numbers 2,3,6,8 and 11. Consider all possible samples of size two
which can be drawn with replacement from this population .Find

a) The mean of the population

b) The standard deviation of the population

c) The mean of the sampling distribution of means and

d) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means

2. The variance of a population is 2. The size of the sample collected from the population is 169.
What is the standard error of mean?

3. The guaranteed average life of a certain type of electric bulbs is 1500hrs with a S.D of 10 hrs.
It is decided to sample the output so as to ensure that 95% of bulbs do not fall short of the
guaranteed average by more than 2%. What will be the minimum sample size?

4. A population consists of 5, 10, 14, 18, 13, 24. Consider all possible samples of size two which
can be drawn without replacement from the population. Find

a) The mean of the population

b) The standard deviation of the population

c) The mean of the sampling distribution of means d) The standard deviation of sampling
distribution of means.

5. A sample of 400 items is taken from a population whose standard deviation is 10. The mean of
the sample is 40. Test whether the sample has come from a population with mean 38. Also calculate
95% confidence limits for the population.

6. An insurance agent has claimed that the average age of policy holders who issue through him is
less than the average for all agents which is 30.5. A random sample of 100 policy holders who had
issued through him gave the following age distribution.

Age: 16-20 21-25 26-30 31-35 36-40

No.of persons: 12 22 20 30 16

Calculate the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of this distribution and use these values to
test his claim at 5% los.

7. At a certain large university a sociologist speculates that male students spend considerably more
money on junk food than female students. To test her hypothesis the sociologist randomly selects
from records the names of 200 students. Of thee, 125 are men and 75 are women . The mean of
the average amount spent on junk food per week by the men is Rs. 400 and S.D is 100. For the
women the sample mean is Rs. 450 and S.D is 150. Test the hypothesis at 5 % los ?

8. The research investigator is interested in studying whether there is a significant difference in the
salaries of MBA grads in two cities. A random sample of size 100 from city A yields an average
income of Rs. 20,150 . Another random sample of size 60 from city B yields an average income
of Rs. 20,250. If the variance are given as 𝝈12 = 40,000 and 𝝈22 = 32,400 respectively .Test the
equality of means and also construct 95% confidence limits.

9. The marks obtained by 10 students in two subjects are given below. Find the correlation
coefficient and lines of regression

Subject 1: 48 75 30 60 80 53 35 15 40 38

Subject 2: 44 85 45 54 91 58 63 35 43 45

10. 1.Fit a curve of the form Y= a +bX by the method of least squares for the following data:

X: 1 2 3 4 5

Y: 5 2 4.5 8 12.5

11. Ten soldiers participated in a shooting competition in the first week. After intensive training
they participated in the competition in the second week . Their scores before and after training are
given below

Scores before: 67 24 57 55 63 54 56 68 33 43

Scores after: 70 38 58 58 56 67 68 75 42 38

Do the data indicate that the soldiers have been benefited by the training.

12. The blood pressure of 5 women before and after intake of a certain drug are given below:

Before: 110 120 125 132 125

After: 120 118 125 136 121

Test whether there is significant change in blood pressure at 1% LOS ?

13. On the basis of information given below about the treatment of 200 patients suffering from
disease, state whether the new treatment is comparatively Superior to the conventional treatment.

Treatment Favourable Not Favourable Total

14. From the following data, compute the rank correlation.

X: 82 68 75 61 68 73 85 68

Y: 81 71 71 68 62 69 80 70

15. A computer while calculating the correlation coefficient between the variable X and Y obtained
the following results:

N = 30; ∑X = 120, ∑X2 = 600, ∑Y = 90, ∑Y2 = 250, ∑XY = 335

It was, however, later discovered at the time of checking that it had copied down two pairs of
observations as: (X, Y) : (8, 10) (12, 7) While the correct values were: (X, Y) : (8, 12) (10, 8)

Obtain the correct value of the correlation coefficient between X and Y.

16. The bank has a head office in Delhi and a branch in Mumbai. There are long customer queues
at one office, while customer queues are short at the other. The Operations Manager of the bank
wonders if the customers at one branch are more variable than the number of customers at another.
He carries out a research study of customers.

The variance of Delhi head office customers is 31, and that for the Mumbai branch is 20. The
sample size for the Delhi head office is 11, and that for the Mumbai branch is 21. Carry out a two-
tailed F-test with a level of significance of 10%.

17. A child psychologist believes that children perform better on tests when they are given
perceived freedom of choice. To test this belief, the psychologist carried out an experiment in
which 200 third graders were randomly assigned to two groups, A and B. Each child was given
the same simple logic test. However in group B, each child was given the freedom to choose a text
booklet from many with various drawings on the covers. The performance of each child was rated
as Very Good, Good, and Fair. The results are summarized in the table provided. Test, at
the 5%level of significance, whether there is sufficient evidence in the data to support the
psychologist’s belief.

18. What is Degree of freedom? Also discuss its importance and calculation methods for various
tests in hypothesis testing.

19. Find Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation from the following data.

Weight in lbs: 113 117 126 126 130 129 111 116 112

20. Find the means of X and Y variables and the coefficient of correlation between them from the
following two regression equations:

2Y–X–50 = 0

3Y–2X–10 = 0.
