1. This document provides instructions for a statistics exam with 10 questions across two units. The exam is focused on statistical concepts like standard error, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlation, and ANOVA. 2. Questions ask students to explain key terms, distinguish between standard error and standard deviation, describe how to set up and test statistical hypotheses and confidence intervals, and perform analyses like chi-square tests of independence and ANOVA. 3. Students are instructed to attempt 5 of the 10 questions, selecting at least two from each unit, with all questions carrying equal marks. The exam is designed to test students' understanding of important statistical methods and concepts.

Paper- OE-309

(Statistics-II)

Time: 03 Hours
Maximum Marks: 35

Note: Attempt five questions in all, selecting at least two questions from each unit. All
questions carry equal marks.

Unit-I

1. Explain clearly the terms standard error and obtain the standard error of mean.
Distinguish between standard error and standard deviation. (7)
2. What is meant by a statistical hypothesis? What are the two types of error of decision
that arise in testing a hypothesis? Briefly explain how a statistical hypothesis is tested.
(7)
3. What do you mean by interval estimation and how would you set up the confidence
limits for a parameter from a sample? Give the formula for 95% confidence limits for
mean and proportion. (7)
4. a) A company is considering two different television advertisements for promotion of
a new product. Management believed that the advertisement A is more effective than
advertisement B. Two test market areas with virtually identical consumer
characteristics are selected; A is used in one area and B in other area. In a random
sample of 60 customers who saw A, 18 tried the product. In another random sample
of 100 customers who saw B, 22 tried the product. Does this indicate that
advertisement A is more effective than advertisement B, if a 5% level of significance
is used? (4)
b) A simple sample of heights of 6400 Englishmen has a mean of 67.85 inches and
S.D 2.56 inches while a simple sample of heights of 1600 Australians has mean of
68.55 inches with S.D of 2.52 inches. Do the data indicate that Australians are, on the
average taller than Englishmen? (3)
5. a) Suppose we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socioeconomic status
(SES) deliver babies whose birth-weights are lower than “normal.” To test this
hypothesis, a list is obtained of birth-weights from 100 consecutive full-term, live-
born deliveries from the maternity ward of a hospital in a low-SES area. The mean
birth-weight is found to be 115 oz with a sample standard deviation (s) of 24 oz.
Suppose we know from nationwide surveys based on millions of deliveries that the
mean birth-weight in the United States is 120 oz. Can we actually say the underlying
mean birth-weight from this hospital is lower than the national average? (4)

b) Polymorph count was 350 out of 500 WBCs. At 95% confidence level, within what
limits the population proportion will lie? (3)

Unit –II

6. Sales for retail outlet before and after campaign has been given below, test at 5% level
of significance whether the campaign is a success. Also obtain the confidence limits.
(7)
Retail outlets 1 2 3 4 5 6

BC 50 48 31 42 28 53
AC 56 55 30 45 29 58

7. a) Write down the assumptions of F-distribution. (2)


b) The following table depicts the time taken to do a job by method I and method II
by workers. Can we conclude that the variance of time distribution for method I
and method II are the same? (5)

Method I 27 23 16 20 26 22

Method II 33 35 34 27 42 32 38

8. a) At the completion of a basketball training camp, participants are classified into


categories, A (highest), B and C, according to their shooting ability. A sample of this
year’s participants yielded the following data: A: 136 B: 38 C: 26. Historically, the
percentage of participants falling into each category has been A: 80% B: 12% C: 8%.
Does it appear that this year’s participants correspond to the historic percentages in
their shooting ability? (5)
b) What is contingency table? Describe the chi-Square test for independence of
attributes. (2)

9. Describe ANOVA for two way classification for fixed effect model. (7)
10. A random sample of 28 pairs of observations shows a correlation coefficient of 0.74.
Is it reasonable to believe that sample comes from a bivariate normal population with
correlation coefficient 0.6. (7)
