1.96]
Q.17 Samples of sizes 10 and 14 were taken from two normal CO4
population of S.D. 3.5 and 5.2. The sample means were
Found to be 20.3 and 18.6. Classify test whether the means
of the population are same at 5% level of significance.

proportion in a total of 1406 births was 0.496. Analyse
that, Is there any significant difference in the proportion
of male births in the two towns?
