A man answers 10 maths problems one after the other. He answers the first problem correctly and the second incorrectly, for each of the remaining 8 problems the probability that he answers the problem correctly equals to the ratio of the number of problems that he has already answered correctly to the total number of problems that he has already answered. What is the probability that he answers exactly 5 out of 10 problems correctly?

The average annual medical expense per family in a small city was Birr 750 in 1998. A random sample of 49 families was selected and their expenses for 1999 had a mean of Birr 800 with a standard deviation of Birr 140. Based on this information, can we conclude at α= 5% that the average annual medical expenses had increased from the 1998 average?

19. Let µ represent the population mean expenditure for 1999. Which of the following is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
(A) µ ≠ 750 (B) µ = 750 (C) µ > 750 (D) µ < 750 (E) µ > 800

20. Which of the following is the appropriate rejection region?

(E) –1.96 < Z < 1.96
