QUESTION ONE

(a) According to the Ministry of Health, the height of travellers who were quarantined in Accra for the coronavirus were normally distributed about a mean of 170cm and a variance of 36cm. Find the probability that a traveller selected at random has i) Height between 160cm and 175cm ii) Height above 164cm. iii) Height below 180 cm

(b) The American Automobile Association reports that the average time it takes to respond to an emergency call is 25 minutes. Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed and the standard deviation is 4.5 minutes. If 80 calls are randomly selected, approximately how many will be responded to in less than 15 minutes?

A consumer organisation wants to obtain information about , the mean number of drawing pins in the boxes of a certain brand which, according to the label, should contain 100 pins. In nine randomly chosen boxes this organisation finds the following numbers of drawing pins:

 90       94       88       92       90       86       94       90       86

 

  (a) (i) Test whether  < 100. Take as level of significance  a= 0:05.  

(ii) Which assumption do you need?

(b) If the true value of u is 101, what type of error did you make in part (a)?

(c) (i) Determine a 90% confidence interval for u  

(ii) Is it likely that  u= 101?


A computer manufacturer ships laptop computers with the batteries fully charged so that customers can begin to use their purchases right out of the box. In its last model, 85% of customers received fully charged batteries. To simulate arrivals, the company shipped 100 new model laptops to various company sites around the country. Of the 100 laptops shipped, 93 of them arrived reading 100% charged. Do the data provide evidence that this model’s rate is higher than the previous model? Test the hypothesis at a = 0:01. Write down the hypothesis to be tested and show all the steps and calculations
