2. Estimation

1. Null and alternate hypotheses are statements about: (Marks - 1)


i) Population parameter
ii) Sample parameter
iii) Sample statistic
iv) None of these

2. In hypothesis testing a type-II error occurs when- (Marks - 1)


i) The null hypothesis is not rejected when the null hypothesis is true
ii) The null hypothesis is rejected when the null hypothesis is true
iii) The null hypothesis is not rejected when the alternate hypothesis is true
iv) None of these

3. The null and alternative hypotheses divide the sample space into: (Marks - 1)
i. two sets that overlap
ii. two non-overlapping sets
iii. Both of these
iv. None of these

4. A two-tailed test is one where: (Marks - 1)


i. results in only one direction can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis
ii. negative sample mean leads to rejection of the null hypothesis
iii. results in either of two directions can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis
iv. None of these

5. If random samples of size ≥ 30 are drawn from a population with known population variance (  2
), the sample means follow: (Marks - 1)
i) F-distribution
ii) normal distribution
iii) t-distribution
iv)  distribution
2

6. A random sample of size n = 4 is drawn from a population with µ=200,  =100. Test the hypothesis

for the following conditions and choose the correct one: H0: µ = 200 and H1: µ > 200, when the
sample mean is 214. (Marks - 1)

iii) H0: µ = 200 and H1: µ  200

iii) There is a 95% chance that it contains the mean of the population
iv) None of these

11. A researcher computes a 95% confidence interval for µ whereas σ is known. The CI is 18000 to
22000, the value of the sample mean is: (Marks – 2)

populations, respectively, the degrees of freedom of the test statistic is equal to:
