Question 1 15 Marks
a) The masses, in grams, of thirteen ball bearings taken at random from a batch
are
21.4,23.1,25.9,24.7,23.4,24.5,25.0,22.5,26.9,26.4,25.8,23.2,21.9
Calculate 95% Confidence interval for the mean mass of the population,
supposed normal, from which these masses were drawn(s=1.77)
Solution:
The 95% confidence interval for the mean mass of the population mean is given by:

Now, b) Ten oil tins are taken at random from an automatic filling machine. The mean weight of the tins is 15.8kg and the standard deviation is 0.50kg.Does the sample mean differ significantly from the intended weight of 16kg? Solution: : μ = 16 : μ 16 Level of significance: α = 5 % = 0.

Now by using the area table of χ^2 , we get And And by substituting the values, we get Sol: b) Hypothesis: H0: σ^2 =1. H1: σ^2 1. Level of significance: α =0. Test Statistics: Critical Region: Computations: =17. Conclusion Since our calculated value of χ^2 is greater than the table value, so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.
