Questions 3

Question 1:

I. 5% are defective, probability that at least one is defective out of 4

The assumption is that the outcomes are independent and therefore this is a Binomial distribution, binomial probability is calculated as:

P(x) = nCk Pk (1-P) 1-k

P – Probability of success

K – Successes

N – Trials

Using the binomial function in excel the table below show the results

0.18549375

The probability of at least one is defective is the sum of P (1) + P (2) + P (3) + P (4) = 0.1855

Answer = 18.55%

II.

Questions 3

Battery last 40 hours, normal distribution with mean = 50 and variance 16.

Therefore standard deviation = square root variance = 4

Z score for the value 40

Z score = x – mean / standard deviation

Z score = 40 – 50/4

Z score = -2.5

From Z table probability for 2.5 = 0.4938

The following diagram demonstrates the probabilities

Probability those hours is greater than 40 = 0.4938 + 0.5 = 0.9938

Probability less than 40 = 1-0.9938 = 0.0022

Answer = 0.0022 or 0.22%

III. 60,000 students

Comparing, school of business, science, art and graduate school

In order to compare the above the appropriate method would be stratified sampling, this will involve subdividing the population into categories that are required, the next step will be to determine the sample size to be selected from each category and when the equal samples are determined a random sample should selected from each category.

Question 2:

I. The one sample Z test is applied; Z calculated value is calculated as follows:

Z calculated = [(x – mean)/ (standard deviation/ (square root n)]

Z calculated

0.564818

Z calculated = [(3011 – 2943.375)/ (478.9157/ (square root 16)]

Z calculated = 0.564818

Z critical value at 95% level = 0.0195

Z calculated > Z critical

Therefore null hypothesis that the two values are equal is rejected; this means that 1987 and 1980 tax deductions were different.

Confidence interval

P [(mean – (Stdev * Z critical)) < mean < (mean + (Stdev * Z critical))] = 95%

Questions 3

P [(2943.375– (478.92 * 0.0195)) < mean < (2943.375 + (478.92 * 0.0195))] = 95%

P [(2934.036144) < mean < (2952.713856)] = 95%

Answer: 1980 and 1987 tax deductions were different at 95% level of test

Confidence interval-This means that we are 95% confident that the mean is between2934.036 and 2952.71

II. Unemployment = 30%

Sample of 400, 90 are unemployed

Proportion = 90/400 = 0.225

Proportion hypothesis test:

Hypothesis:

H0: P ≥ 0.30

12/39

Questions 3

H1: P < 0.30

Z calculated = P1 – P0 / (square root (P0 (1-P0))/n)

Where P0 is hypothesized proportion

Z calculated = 0.225-0.3/ (square root (0.3 (1-0.3))/400)

Z calculated = -0.00818

Z critical at 5%=0.0195

Answer:

Z critical > Z calculated, therefore null hypothesis is accepted, this means that the proportion of unemployed is greater or equal to 0.3

From the table the F critical value is 5.292214, F calculated is 0.777777778, F critical > F calculated, therefore null hypothesis H0: M1=M2=M3=M4=M5 is accepted.

Answer: H0: M1=M2=M3=M4=M5 is accepted, meaning that there is no significant difference in mean weights of the groups.

-18.776339

The estimated model is as follows:

Electricity usage = 1268.28 – 16.6134 temperature

This model mean that as temperature increases the electricity usage declines, by holding all factors constant and increasing temperature by one unit then electricity usage declines by 16.6134 units, the constant electricity usage is 1268.

The following is the fitted regression model:

Questions 3

III. Hypothesis test on significance of temperature coefficient:

From the excel output the T statistics value for the slope = -17.7126, T critical at 0.01 (two tail) level of significance is positive or negative 3.24, t calculated > T critical, therefore the null hypothesis that the slope is equal to zero is rejected, therefore slope is significance at the 0.01 significance level.

IV. Predict usage when temperature is 40 degrees

Electricity usage = 1268.28 – 16.6134 temperature

Electricity usage = 1268.28 – 16.6134 (40)

Electricity usage = 603.7395

Answer: 603.7395
