NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND CONFIDENCE INTERVALS

has dispatched over the last six months and found a normally distributed
population with an average weight of 10 Kg and a standard deviation of
1.5 Kg.

b. What proportion of the population will have a weight greater than 10
Kg?

3.A health insurer has determined that the "reasonable and customary"
fee for a certain medical procedure is £1200. They suspect that the
average fee charged by one particular clinic for this procedure is higher
than £1200. The insurer wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine
whether their suspicion is correct. Classify the hypothesis test as two-
tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

Headquarters gives a mean of 1500 murder cases solved with a
standard deviation of 125. What is the 95% confidence interval for the
population mean?

c) The null hypothesis in correct and it is accepted
d) The null hypothesis is untrue and it is rejected.
2.Chris claims that the average time students spend watching TV per
week is 20 hours. Emma says that it is more than this. A sample of 100
students is taken. The sample mean is 21.5 hours and the sample
standard deviation is 8 hours. A hypothesis test at the 5%level of
significance is used. Which of the following is true?
a) The null hypothesis is that μ > 20 hours and this hypothesis
should be rejected
b) The null hypothesis is that μ = 20 hours and this hypothesis
should be rejected
c) The null hypothesis is that μ = 20 hours and this hypothesis
should be accepted
d) The null hypothesis is that μ > 20 hours and this hypothesis
should be accepted
3. The designers of a new model of sports car claim that fuel

consumption is 40 km per gallon. The marketing department wants to
test this claim to see whether the advertised figure should be higher or
lower than 40 km per gallon. A sample of 50 cars yields a mean of 38.5
km per gallon and a standard deviation of 4 km per gallon. If we test the
designers’ claim at the 0.05 level of significance, which of the following is
true?
a) The alternative hypothesis is that μ ≠ 40 km.p.g. and the null
hypothesis should be rejected
b) The alternative hypothesis is that μ = 40 km.p.g. and the null
hypothesis should be accepted
c) The alternative hypothesis is that μ = 38.5 km.p.g. and the null
hypothesis should be rejected
d) The alternative hypothesis is that μ ≠ 40 km.p.g. and the null
hypothesis should be accepted
4. For a z test of a hypothesis that a new coffee machine gives no difference in

outcome to that of a previous coffee machine the critical value for a 5% significance
level is ±1.96. The calculated value of z is 1.94. Which of the following statements is
correct?
a) Reject the null hypothesis; there is no difference

b) Reject the null hypothesis; there is a difference
c) Accept the null hypothesis; there is a difference
