An engineer conducted an experiment to compare two metals: iron and copper, as bonding agents for an alloy material. Components of the alloy were bonded using the metals as bonding agents, and the pressures required to break the bonds were measured. The data for the breaking pressures are given in the following table:
|
S. No. | Breaking Pressure | |
| Iron | Copper | |
| 1 | 72.7 | 73 |
| 2 | 69.6 | 67.2 |
| 3 | 83.4 | 75.3 |
| 4 | 78.9 | 61.4 |
| 5 | 75 | 74 |
| 6 | 71.6 | 69.5 |
| 7 | 85.7 | 69.8 |
| 8 | 73.5 | 73.8 |
| 9 | 70.4 | 68 |
| 10 | 84.2 | 76.1 |
If the breaking pressures for both iron and copper are normally distributed, are the variances of the distributions of the breaking pressure of iron and copper equal at 5 % level of significance?

The lifespan (in ‘000 hours) of five LED bulbs of 07 watts are as follows: 40, 46, 48, 50, 42
(i) How many samples of size 2 are possible without replacement? Write them.
(ii) Compute mean of all samples of size 2 and set up the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
(iii)Compute the expected value and standard error of the sample mean.
An ambulance agency claims that the mean length of service times is 10 minutes. Investigator suspects that this claim is wrong. She takes a random sample of 20 services and finds the mean length of service times is 15 minutes. Assume that the service time of the ambulance follows normal distribution.
i) What is the probability that the mean length of service times is more than and equal to 10 minutes.
ii) Find the 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the mean length of service times.

Results of a survey by the National Centre for Health Statistics indicated that people between 65 and 74 years of age contact a physician an average of 9.8 times per year. People 75 and older contact physicians an average of 12.9 times per year. Suppose you want to validate these results by taking your own samples and obtained the following data represent the number of annual contacts people make with a physician. The samples are independent.

A sample of 500 shops was selected in a large metropolitan area to determine various information concerning the consumer behaviour. One question, among the questions, asked, was “Do you enjoy shopping for clothing?” Out of 240 males,136 answered yes. Out of 260 females, 224 answered yes. Find 95% confidence interval for the difference of the proportions for enjoys shopping for clothing.
