6.37, 6.32 , 6.36 and 6.37 mm. Determine the point estimate of (a) mean, (b) variance. (M12)
2. A random sample of size 50 with mean 67.9 is drawn from a normal population. If it is known that the
standard error of the sample mean is

0.7 , find 95% confidence interval for the population mean.(J09)

3. A random sample of 500 apples was taken from large consignment and 45 of them were found to be
bad. Find the limits at which the bad apples lie at 99% confidence interval. (O06 ; M07 ; M08 ; M10
; O10 ; O11)
4. A random sample of marks in Mathematics secured by 50 students out of 200 students showed a mean
of 75 and a standard deviation of 10. Find the 95% confidence limits for the estimate of their mean
marks. (J10 ; M11)
5. Out of 1000 TV viewers, 320 watched a particular programme. Find 95% confidence limits for
TV watched this programme.(J08 ; O08 ; O09)
6. A random sample of 50 branches of State Bank of India out of 200 branches in a district showed a mean
annual profit of Rs.75 lakhs and a standard deviation of 10 lakhs. Find the 95% confidence limits for
the estimate of mean profit of 200 branches. (J06 ; J11)

7. Out of 10,000 customers ledger accounts, a sample of 200 accounts was taken to test the accuracy of
posting and balancing wherein 35 mistakes were found. Find 95% confidence limits within which the
number of defective cases can be expected to lie. (M09)
8. The mean I.Q. of a sample of 1600 children was 99. Is it likely that this was a random sample from a
population with mean I.Q. 100 and standard deviation 15? ( Test at 5% level of significance ) (J07)
