Q1.

According to an estimate, the average earnings of female workers who are not union
members are $388 per week and those of female workers who are union members are $505
per week. Suppose that these average earnings are calculated based on random samples of
1500 female workers who are not union members and 2000 female workers who are union
members. Further assume that the standard deviations for the two corresponding populations
are $30 and $35, respectively. Test at the 2.5% significance level whether the mean weekly
earnings of female workers who are not union members are less than those of female workers
who are union members.

Q2.
A sample of 16 children from New York State showed that the mean time they spend
watching television is 28.50 hours per week with a standard deviation of 4 hours. Another
sample of 13 children from California showed that the mean time spent by them watching
television is 23.25 hours per week with a standard deviation of 5 hours. Using a 2.5%
significance level, can you conclude that the mean time spent watching television by children
in New York is greater than that for children in California? Assume that the standard
deviations for the two populations are equal.

Q3.
The following table gives the blood pressures (in mm Hg) of seven adults before and after the
completion of a special dietary plan.

Before 210 180 195 220 231 199 224


After 193 186 186 223 220 183 233

At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the blood pressures before and after the
completion of the dietary plan is different?

Q4.
The lottery commissioner’s office in a state wanted to find if the percentages of men and
women who play lottery often are different. A sample of 500 men taken by the
commissioner’s office showed that 160 of them play the lottery often. Another sample if 300
women showed that 66 of them play the lottery often. Testing at the 1% significance level,
can you conclude that the proportions of all men and women who play the lottery often are
different?
