Q.2 Given the frequency function, 𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 𝜃 , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝜃 and 𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 0, otherwise and that you
are testing the null hypothesis 𝐻0 : 𝜃 = 3 against 𝐻1 : 𝜃 = 2, by means of a single observed value
𝑥. What would be the sizes of the Type I and type II errors, if critical region is
(𝑖)𝑥 < 1, (𝑖𝑖) 1 < 𝑥 < 2 as the critical regions?
[Ans: (i) 𝜶=1/3, 𝜷 = 𝟏/𝟐 (𝒊𝒊) 𝜶 = 𝟏/𝟑, 𝜷 = 𝟏/𝟐]

Q.3 It is desired to test a hypothesis 𝐻0 : 𝑝 = 𝑝0 = 2 against the alternative hypothesis 𝐻1 : 𝑝 = 𝑝1 = 4
on the basis of tossing a coin once, where p is the probability of getting a head in a single trial and
agreeing to accept 𝐻0 if a tail appears and to accept 𝐻1 otherwise. Find the probability of type I
error.
[Ans: (i) 𝜶=1/2, 𝜷 = 𝟏/𝟒]
Q.4 The demand for a particular spare part in a factory was found to vary from day to day. In a sample
study the following information was obtained:
Days. Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
No. of parts 1124 1125 1110 1120 1126 1115
demanded
Test the hypothesis that the number of parts demanded does not depend on the day of week.
[Ans: 𝝌𝟐=0.1802; 𝝌𝟐𝟎.𝟎𝟓 = 11.070]
Q.5 The following table gives the number of aircraft accidents that occur during various days of the
week. Find whether the accidents are uniformly distributed over the week.
Days of week Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
No. of accidents 15 19 13 12 16 15
[Ans: 𝝌𝟐= 2; 𝝌𝟐𝟎.𝟎𝟓 = 11.07]
Q.6 The heights of 10 adult males selected at random from a given locality had a mean of 158 cm and
variance 39.0625 cm. Test at 5% level of significance, the hypothesis that the adult males of the given
locality are on the average less than 162.5 cm tall
[Ans: H0: µ=162.5 ; H1: µ<162.50 ; t= -2.2768]
Q.7 Find the students t for the following variable values in a sample of eight . -4,-2,-2,0,2,2,3,3, taking
the mean of the universe to be zero.
[Ans: t= -3.2002]
Q.8 The lifetime of electric bulbs for a random sample of 10 from a large consignment ave the
following data: Life in thousand hours: 4.2, 4.6, 4.1, 3.9, 5.2, 3.8, 3.9, 4.3, 4.4, 5.6. Can we accept
the hypothesis that the average lifetime of bulbs is 4000 hours?
[Ans: H0: µ=4 ; H1: µ≠4 ; t= 2.2308]
Q.9 The following data presents the yields in quintals of common 10 subdivisions of equal area of two
agricultural plots:
Plot I 6.6 5.7 6.5 6.0 6.3 5.8 5.7 6.0 6.0 5.8
Plot II 5.6 5.9 5.6 5.7 5.8 5.7 6.0 5.5 5.7 5.5
Test whether the two samples taken from the two random population have the same variance.
[Ans: H0: 𝝈𝟐𝟏 = 𝝈𝟐𝟐 ; H1: 𝝈𝟐𝟏 ≠ 𝝈𝟐𝟐 ; F= 2.7307]
Q.10 Consider the following measurements of the heat produced by two mines:
Mine 1 8260 8130 8350 8070 8340
Mine 2 7950 7890 7900 8140 7920 7840
Can it be concluded that the two-population variance are equal?
[Ans: H0: 𝝈𝟐𝒙 = 𝝈𝟐𝒚 ; H1: 𝝈𝟐𝒙 ≠ 𝝈𝟐𝒚 ; F= 1.76]
Q.11 Two random samples were drawn from two normal populations and their values are as follows:
Sample I 9 11 13 11 15 9 12 14
Sample II 10 12 10 14 9 8 10
Do the estimates of population variance differ significantly. (F for 7 and 6 d.f. at 5% LOS 4.20)
[Ans: H0: 𝝈𝟐𝒙 = 𝝈𝟐𝒚 ; H1: 𝝈𝟐𝒙 ≠ 𝝈𝟐𝒚 ; F= 1.24]
