MT271 TUTORIAL SHEET 6

1. A study of the annual growth of a certain kind of fish showed that 64 of them selected at
random in a lake, grew on the average of 52.80 mm with a standard deviation of 4.5 mm.
Estimate the true average annual growth of all fish in the lake by means of 99%
confidence interval.

2. Independent random samples of size n1  16 and n2  25 from normal populations with


 1  4.8 and  2  3.5 have means x1  18.2 and x2  23.4 . Construct 90% confidence
interval for 1   2 .

3. Repeat Q2 when the population variances are unknown but the samples result with
s1  5.0 and s 2  4.0 .
4. 32 out of 500 items produced by a certain engineering firm are found defective. Estimate
the true proportion of all defective items by means of 95% confidence interval.

5. 14 out of 120 items from machine A are defective and only 8 out of 70 produced by
machine B are defective. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the true difference
between proportions.

6. The following are the heat-producing capacities of coal from two mines (in millions of
calories per ton)
Mine A : 8500 8330 8480 7960 8030
Mine B : 7710 7890 7920 8270 7860
Assuming that the data constitute independent random samples from normal
populations. Construct 90% confidence interval for the ratio of their variances.
