Question 1 [10 marks]
State the difference between the following: [5 marks each]
- Population and Sample.
- Parameter and Statistics.
A1:
Population and Sample.
A sample is a subset of people, items, or events in a larger population that you collect and analyze
for inference. To represent the population well, samples should be collected randomly and large
enough. To understand the basic foundations of hypothesis testing and other inferential statistics, it
is essential to understand the difference between the sample and the population. The ensemble is a
collection of people, projects, or events for which you want to make inferences. It is not always
convenient or possible to check every member of the entire population. For example, it is
impractical to count the scratches on all the apples picked in the orchard. However, it is possible to

calculate abrasions on a set of apples extracted from this population. This subset of the population
is called the sample.
Parameter and Statistics
A statistic is any ability (feature) of an example. Given a sample, please state a list of numbers; the
statistic is that number's capacity. The rules are the mean, the most extreme value, the standard
deviation, etc. It does not contain the distribution of information. The parameter records the
likelihood distribution. For example, the normal distribution is constrained by two parameters: mu
and sigma^2. By the way, mu is related to the mean, and sigma^2 is the distribution variance. In
this case, both parameters are additional statistics.
Question 2 [10 marks]
Abby samples the next 40 cracker bags packed by the machine to determine whether it is putting
454 g of crackers in each bag. The sample statistics are as follows: M = 462 g; Q = 16 g. Is the
machine properly filling cracker packages? Set = .05.
Step 1: Ho:= 454g
Step 2: Ha:454g
Step 3: α = .05
Step 4: tcrit(= .05, df = 24)= ±2.064.
Step 5: = 40

A research study was conducted to examine the clinical efficacy of a new antidepressant. Depressed
patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a placebo group, a group that received a
low dose of the drug, and a group that received a moderate dose of the drug. After four weeks of
treatment, the patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory. From the following data
SST =2275.3 SSW=790.8
1) What would be the null hypothesis in this study?
2) What would be the alternate hypothesis?
3) Construct one-way ANOVA table
4) Is there a significant difference between the groups?
5) Interpret your answer.
H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3, Mean efficiency of the three groups is same , H1: Mean efficiency of at least one of
the three groups is different
