Exercise Book of Statistics

This document appears to be an exercises book on statistics from Helwan University's Faculty of Engineering. It contains multiple examples of organizing and summarizing data through frequency tables, relative frequencies, percentages, bar graphs, pie charts, histograms and other statistical techniques. One example provides data on living situations of 20 elementary school children and asks the reader to analyze and visualize the data. Another example provides computer course data for 30 business graduates and poses similar analysis questions. A third examines keyboard assembly data across 25 days. The exercises are meant to help students practice common statistical methods for organizing and understanding data.

textbook publishing company, claims that the sales representatives make an average of
40 sales calls per week on professors. Several reps say that this estimate is too low. To
investigate, a random sample of 28 sales representatives reveals That the mean number
of calls made Last week was 42, The standard deviation of the sample is 2.1 calls. Using

7. The standard recommendation for automobile oil changes is once every 5000
miles. A local mechanic is interested in determining whether people who drive more
expensive cars are more likely to fol- low the recommendation. Independent random
samples of 45 customers who drive luxury cars and 40 customers who drive
compact lower- price cars were selected. The average distance driven between oil
changes was 5187 miles for the luxury car owners and 5214 miles for the compact
lower-price cars. The sample standard deviations were 424 and 507 miles for the
luxury and compact groups, respectively. Assume that the two population
distributions of the distances between oil changes have the same standard deviation
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the mean distances
between oil changes for all luxury cars and all compact lower-price cars.
b. Using a 1% significance level, can you conclude that the mean distance between
oil changes is less for all luxury cars than that for all compact lower-price cars?
