In the claims department of an insurance office various quantities are computed at the end of each day’s business. On Monday, 10 claims are received for a particular class of policy. The mean claim amount is calculated to be £426 and the standard deviation to be £112. On Tuesday it is found that one of Monday’s claims for £545, was classified wrongly and it is removed from the set of 10 claims. Calculate the resulting mean and standard deviation of the reduced set of 9 claims.
APPLICATION:
an experimental study was conducted by a researcher to
determine if a new time slot has an effect on the performance
of pupils in mathematics. Fifteen randomly selected learners
participated in the study. Toward the end of the investigation, a
standardized assessment was conducted. The sample mean x̄= 75 and s=5. In standardization of the test, the mean was
65 and standard deviation was 8. Based on the evidence at
hand, is the new time slot effective? Use α = 0.05.
In a certain food stall, 278 out of 500 randomly selected consumers to indicate their preference for a new kind of food combination. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion ρ who like the new food combination.
The recent storm, Maring, caused a lot of people to get infected with a disease. Doctors estimate that a person who got infected with the disease can recover with a probability of 40%. If 15 people from a certain barangay in QC are known to have been infected with the disease, what is the probability that from 3 to 8 survive?
Test the hypotheses, given p=0.42, p is not equal to 0.42, sample size=150, sample proportion=0.45, alpha =0.05
Let X and Y be two independent random variables having joint probability density function f(x, y) = 1/ 2πσ2 e − (x−µ) 2 σ2 e − (y−µ) 2 σ2 − ∞ < x, y < ∞
