Reject Ho if C is less than 5% p-value.

Since c < 1, 0.05, the p-value for c (>10%) is more than 5%. Hence it is not sufficient to reject
HO and we can say that gender and smoking habits are independent.

Q.2 Given 20% (=m) of male smokers and 15 %( =f) of female smokers were born caesarean.
a) As per the sample,
No. of male smokers = 33 , No. of male smoker born caesarean =10
Proportion of male smoker born caesarean, Pm =10/33 =30.3%
Sample size, Nm=33
Since sample size > 30, as per CLT, Pm ~ N(Pm,Sm)
Standard deviation, Sm= (Pmx(1-Pm)/ Nm)^0.5= 0.08

2
 Zc=Pmm)/S = (30.30%-20%)/0.08 = 1.29
Z+cr= Z0.975= 1.96; Z-cr=Z0.025= -1.96
Hypothesis Statement:
HO: Proportion of male smoker, m = 20%
HA: Proportion of male smoker, m ≠ 20%
Rejection Rule
Reject HO if Zc > Zcr or Zc < Zcr
Since Z-cr > Zc (=1.29) < Zcri , there is not enough evidence to reject HO.
Hence we accept the hypothesis that 10% of the male smokers were born caesarean.

b) As per the sample

No. of female smokers = 44 , No. of male smoker who are caesarean =11
Percentage of male smoker born caesarean, Pf =11/44=25%
Sample size, Nf=44
Since sample size > 30, as per Central Limit Theorem, Pf ~ N(Pf,SDf)
Standard deviation, SDf= sqrt(Pfx(1-Pf)/ Nf)= 0.065
Zcal=Pff)/SD = (25% - 15%)/0.065 = 1.53
Z+cri=Z0.975=1.96; Z-cri=Z0.025=-1.96
Hypothesis Statement:
HO: Percentage of female smoker, f = 15%
HA: Percentage of female smoker, f ≠ 20%
Rejection Rule
Reject HO if Zc > Z+cr or Zc < Zcr
Since Z-c > Zc (=1.53) < Zcr , there is not enough evidence to reject HO.
Hence we accept the hypothesis that 15% of the female smokers were born caesarean.

Since cal > 1,0.05 , the p-value for cal (~0%) is less than 5%. Hence reject HO and state that
Height and lungcap are dependent.

Q6. Hypothesis Statement:

HO: Variance of male smokers and female smokers are equal or /22 =1 (Null Hypothesis)
HA: Variance of male smokers and female smokers are not equal or /22≠1 (Alternate
Hypothesis)
Rejection Rule:
Reject HO if Fcal(=s12/s22) >Fcrit,df for significance level 0.05.
We conducted F-value test for =0.05/2=0.025(for two tail test) got the following results:

Since Fcal (=1.19)< Fcrit(1.96), there is not enough reasons to reject HO. Hence we accept the
hypothesis and state that the variances of male smokers and female smokers are equal.

Q7. Let 1 and 2 be the average of lungcap of smokers and non-smokers. Whereas 12 and 22 are
the sample variance of the respective population.
x1= Random Variable of average of lungcap of sample smokers ~ N(1,12/n1)
x2= Random Variable of average of lungcap of sample non-smokers~ N(2,22/n2)
As per data,
No. of smokers, n1=77 No. of non-smokers, n2= 648
Average of lungcap of smokers x1=8.645 Average of lungcap of non-smokers x2= 7.77
Sample lungcap variance of smoker, s= 3.545

4
  Sample lungcap variance of non-smoker, s=
7.432

Since population lungcap variances of smokers (12)and non-smokers is unknown22) , we
assume 12=22=sp2.
Where sp2= [(n1 – 1)s12 + (n2 – 1)s22 ]/(n1+n2 – 2) = 7.023
Now, (x1-x2)/(sp x sqrt(1/n1+1/n2)) ~ tn1+n2-2
tcal = (x1-x2)/(sp x sqrt(1/n1+1/n2)) = 2.74
t+cri,0.025 =1.96
t-cri,0.975 = -1.96
Hypothesis Statement
HO: 1=2 or 1-2=0
HA:1≠2 or 1-2≠0
Rejection Rule
Reject HO if tcal > t+cri or tcal < t-cri
Since in our case tcal (=2.74) > t+cri (=1.96), we reject HO.
Hence the average lungcap of smokers and non-smokers are not equal(1≠2).

Section-B

Q1. Price Mileage

Mean 21343.14 Mean 19831.93

Sample Variance 97710315 Sample Variance 67179657

We observe that the sample variance of price is more than mileage. That means the spread of
price around average is more than that of mileage. So we can say that wide range of priced cars
have mileage closer to 19831.93.

Hypothesis Statement

We conducted

Q.6. Analysing the correlation coefficients of mileage and liter among different car manufacturer, it
can be stated that there is weak linear relation between mileage and liter as the correlation
coefficients are close to zero.

Q7. # total car = 804

# cars with liter equal to 3.8 = 160
# cars with liter equal to 3.8 and mileage more than 20,000 = 95
Given that a car has liter 3.8, probability of mileage greater than 20,000=
P(Mileage >20000|liter=3.8)
= P(cars with liter=3.8 & mileage >20000) = (#cars with liter=3.8 & mileage >20000)/(#total cars)
P(cars with liter =3.8) (#cars with liter =3.8)/(#total cars)
=95/804 = 0.5937
160/804
Thus, given that a car has liter 3.8, with 59.37% confidence we can say that mileage is greater than
20,000.

Q8. As correlation between price and mileage is

Cov.(PM) SD(P) SD(M) Corr.(PM)
close to zero, there is a weak linear relation -11589868.158 9884.853 8196.320 -0.143

Section D:
Q.1. I collected stock price of Monnet Ispat & Energy Ltd, GAIL (India) Ltd, Alstom India Ltd, ABB India
Ltd and Siemens Ltd from 01.01.2016 to 30.06.2016.

Q2. Histogram of stock returns

Q.3. HO: Average stock returns of the five

companies taken are equal (R1 = R2 =
R3 = R4 = R5)
HO: Atleast one of average stock
return is not equal to other stock
returns.
Reject HO if p value < 0.05

Since the p-Value is greater than 0.05, we

accept the HO and state that the average
return of the said companies are equal.

Q4.&5. Hypothesis Statement
HO: Average stock returns of each pair of companies are equal.
HA: Average stock returns of each pair of companies are not equal.
Rejection Rule:
tcal lies in rejection region or tcal>t+0.975,df or tcal<t- 0.025,df
Observation:
In all the cases t-0.025,df <tcal<t+0.975,df, i.e lies in acceptance region. Hence we don’t have sufficient
reasons to reject HO and state that for all the pair of companies averages of stock returns are
equal.

Section E:
Q.1

13
Since the sample size is more than 30,i.e 100, the average salary of each sample will follow normal
distribution, N(40000,SD=40000/sqrt(10))
Sample mean calculated = 40260.59 ~ 40000
Standard deviation = 3983.923 ~ 4000 (=40000/10)

Q.2 Since the sample size is more than 30, i.e 50, the average age of the samples should follow normal
distribution as per CLT.
Population average age =25.8, and standard deviation = 5.216 then sample average age must have mean
25.8 ~ 25.09 and standard deviation = 5.216/sqrt(50) = 0.737 ~ 0.64
