    (i) What is the point estimate of population mean ?
    (ii) What is the point estimate of the population standard deviation
    Q8 . A simple random sample of 50 item from a population with population standard deviation
    is 6 resulted in a sample mean of 32. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the population
    mean
    Q0. Suppose a pizza restaurant claims its average pizza delivery time is 30 minutes. But you believe that the restaurant
    takes more than 30 minutes. Set up the appropriate hypotheses.

    Q10. A researcher contends that the mean daily sleep of young babies is 15 hours. A sample of 28 babies is taken
    randomly and their average sleep is found to be 13 hours and 48 minutes, with a standard deviation of 80 minutes. Set
    up the null and the alternate hypotheses to test his claim.
    Q11. Evaluate the degree of freedom for a given sample or sequence 3, 6, 2, 8, 4, 2, 9, 5, 7, 1

    Q12. Determine the Degree of Freedom for the sequence given below:

    x = 12, 15, 17, 25, 19, 26, 35, 46 y = 18, 32, 21, 43, 22, 11
    Q13. 10 cartons are taken at random from an automatic filling machine.The mean net weight of the carton
    is11.8kg and standard deviation of 0.15kg.does the sample mean differ significantly from the intended
    weight of 12kgs? (Given t(0.05)= 2.262 at df 9)
    Q14. A fertilizer company packs the bags labelled 50 kg and claims that the mean mass of bags is 50 kg with a
    standard deviation 1kg. An inspector points out doubt on its weight and tests 60 bags. As a result, he finds that
    mean mass is 49.6 kg. Is the inspector right in his suspicions? (Given 𝑡0.25 = 2.001)
    15. The average heart rate for Indians is 72 beats/minute. To lower their heart rate, a group of 26 people
    participated in an aerobics exercise programme. The group was tested after six months to see if the group had
    significantly slowed their heart rate. The average heart rate for the group was 69 beats/minute with a standard
    deviation of 6.5. Was the aerobics program effective in lowering heart rate? (Given 𝑡0.05 = 1.711)
