image text in transcribed Test of Mean with Known 9. A random sample of 100 students from the current year's batch gives the mean CGPA as 3.55 and variance 0.04. Can we say that this is same as the mean CGPA of the previous batch which was 3.5? 10. It has been found from experience that the mean breaking strength of a brand of thread is 500 gms with a s.d. of 40 gms. From the supplies, received during the last month, a sample of 16 pieces of thread was tested which showed a mean strength of 450gms. Can we conclude that the thread supplied is inferior? 11.

A random sample of 40 customers' bills during a given month produced a sample mean of 160 for longdistance calls. At 5% significance, can we say that the company's records indicate laser mean than the actual, i.e., actual mean is more than 155 mts? Test of Mean with Unknown 12. A sample size of 10 drawn from a normal population has mean as 31 and variance as 2.25. Is it reasonable to assume that the mean of the population is 30? Assume = 0.01. 13.

Test at 1 % level of significance whether the claim of the company is tenable. Test of Two Populations Equality of Two Means 1 = 2 = known 18. An automobile company is interested in testing the mileage given by one of the car brands in two different cities, Kolkata and Delhi. The company surveyed 100 car owners in Kolkata and found that the average mileage is 12 kmpl. Out of 150 car owners in Delhi, the mileage averaged to 12.5 kmpl. The s.d. for mileage of this brand of car is known to be 0.9 km. Can we state that these two cities give different mileage. Assume 5% level of significance. 1 = 2 = but unknown 19. A car manufacturer is procuring car batteries from two companies. For testing whether the two brands of batteries say A and B had the same life, the manufacturer collected data about the lives of both brands of batteries from 20 car owners - 10 using A brand and 10 using B brand. The live were reported as follows: Battery brand A 50 61 54 60 52 58 55 56 54 53 Battery brand B 65 57 60 55 58 59 62 67 56 61 Test at 5% level of significance whether both the brands of batteries have the same life? 1 2 and unequal 20. With the purpose of comparing the caffeine content of two brands of coffee, the caffeine contents of 50 mg jars of both the brands are measured. A random sample of ten jars of brand 1 and another random sample of 15 jars of brand 2 are taken. The mean caffeine content obtained from brand 1 is 9.2 mg per 50 gm jar with a s.d. of 0.52 mg and brand 2 id 8.1 mg per 50 gm jar with a s.d of 0.67 mg. Assuming that the two populations of caffeine contents of coffee of two brands are normally distributed with unequal variances, test at 5% level whether the caffeine contents are equal for the coffee of two brands. Paired t test 21. As per ET-TNS Consumer Confidence Survey, published, the consumer confidence indices for some of the cities changed from Dec 2014 to Dec 2015 as follows.
