MBA Assignment V PS

This document contains 13 multiple choice questions related to hypothesis testing using large sample tests. The questions test concepts such as comparing proportions from two populations, comparing means from two populations, and testing claims about a single population proportion. Statistical values like the z-score are provided to aid in determining whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis for each question.

1. Twenty people were attacked by a disease and only 18 survived. Will you reject the
hypothesis that the survival rate, if attacked by this disease, is 85% in favor of the
hypothesis that it is more, at 5% level? Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.645 [ Ans. 0.633 and Null
hypothesis is accepted]

2. Among 100 babies born to 100 couples using a gender-selection method, 55 of them are
girls. Use a 0.01significance level to test the claim that for couples using this method, the
proportion of girls is not equal to 0.5. Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.645 [Ans. 1.005 and null hypothesis
is not rejected]

3. In a large city A, 20% of a random sample of 900 school children had defective eye-sight.
In other large city B, 15% of random sample of 1600 children had same defect. Is this
difference between the two proportions significant? at 5% level of significance. Where
𝑍𝛼 = 1.96 [Ans. 3.21 and Null hypothesis is reject]

4. A company has the office at Kolkata and a branch at Mumbai. The personnel director
wanted to know if the workers at the two places would like the introduction of a new plan
of work and a survey was conducted for this purpose. Out of a sample of 500 workers at
Kolkata, 62% favored the new plan. At Mumbai out of a sample of 400 workers,
41%were against the new plan. Is there any significant difference between the two groups
in their attitude the new plan at 5% level? Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.96 [Ans. 0.917 and Null
hypothesis is accepted]

5. Before an increase in excise duty on tea, 800 persons out of a sample of 1000 persons
were found to be tea drinkers. After an increase in duty, 800 people were tea drinkers in a
sample of 1200 people. Using standard error of proportion, state whether there is a
significant decrease in the consumption of tea after the increase in excise duty. at 5%
level of significance. Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.645 [Ans. 6.842 and Null hypothesis is reject]

6. On the basis of their total scores. 200 candidates of civil service examination are divided
into two groups, the upper 30% and remaining 70%. Consider the first question of this
examination. Among the first group, 40 had the correct answer, whereas among the
second group, 80 had the correct answer, on the basis of these result, can one conclude
that the first question is no good at discriminating ability of the type being examined
here? at 5% level? Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.96 [Ans. 1.258 and Null hypothesis is accepted]

7. In a year there are 956 births in a town A, of which 52.5% were males, while in towns A
and B combined, this proportion in a total of 1406 births was 0.496. Is there any
significant difference in the proportion of male births in the two towns? at 5% level of
significance. Where 𝑍𝛼 = 1.96 [Ans. 3.368 and Null hypothesis is reject]

8. The means of two single large samples of 1000 and 2000 members are 675 inches and
680 inches respectively. Can the samples be regarded as drawn from the same population
of standard deviation 2.5 inches? Test at 1%level of significance. Where 𝑍𝛼 = 2.58 [Ans.
5.1 and Null hypothesis is reject]

9. In a survey of buying habits, 400 women shoppers are chosen at random in supermarket ‘
A’ located in a certain section of the city. Their average weekly food expenditure is Rs.
250 with a standard deviation of Rs.40. For 400 women shoppers chosen at random in
super market ‘B’ in another section of the city, the average weekly food expenditure is
Rs. 220 with a standard deviation of Rs. 55. Test at 1% level of significance whether the
average weekly food expenditure of two populations of shoppers are equal. Where 𝑍𝛼 =
2.58 [Ans. 8.82 and Null hypothesis is reject]

10. The average hourly wage of a sample of 150 workers in a point ‘A’ was Rs. 2.56 with a
standard deviation of Rs. 1.08. The average hourly wage of a sample of 200 workers in
plant ‘B’ was Rs. 2.87 with a standard deviation 1.28. Can an applicant safely assume
that the hourly wages paid ‘B’ are higher than those paid by plant ‘A’. Test at 5% level
of significance. Where 𝑍𝛼 = -1.645 [Ans. -2.46 and Null hypothesis is reject]
