Q. No. 1 (Topic: Normal Distribution) [CLO-3]


Many times in statistics it is necessary to see if a set of data values is
approximately normally distributed. There are special techniques that can be
used. One technique is to draw a histogram for the data and see if it is
approximately bell-shaped. The numbers of branches of the 50 top libraries are
shown.

Q. No. 2 (Topic:Hypothesis Testing) [CLO-3]


The Incredible Edible Egg Company recently found that eating eggs does not
increase a person’s blood serum cholesterol. Five hundred subjects participated
in a study that lasted for 2 years. The participants were randomly assigned to
either a no-egg group or a moderate-egg group. The blood serum cholesterol
levels were checked at the beginning and at the end of the study. Overall, the
groups’ levels were not significantly different. The company reminds us that
eating eggs is healthy if done in moderation. Many of the previous studies
relating eggs and high blood serum cholesterol jumped to improper conclusions.
