QUESTION 2 [30 MARKS]
2.1 A random sample of employees of a large company was asked the question, "Do you
participate in the company's stock purchase plan?" The answers are shown below.
yes no no yes no no yes yes no no
no yes yes yes no yes no no yes yes
no yes yes no yes yes no yes yes yes
yes no no yes yes yes yes yes no yes
no yes yes no yes yes yes yes yes yes
Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of employees who do not
participate in the company's stock purchase plan.

2.2 In a packing plant, a machine packs cartons with jars. It is supposed that a new
machine will pack faster on the average than the machine currently used. To test that
hypothesis, the times it takes each machine to pack ten cartons are recorded. The
results in seconds are shown in the following table. The two populations are assumed
to be normally distributed with equal variances.
New 42.1 41.3 42.4 43.2 41.8 41.0 41.8 42.8 42.3 42.7
Old 42.7 43.8 42.5 43.1 44.0 43.6 43.3 43.5 41.7 44.1
2.2.1 Find the pooled variance of the two samples
[6]
2.2.2 Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on the average, the
new machine packs faster? Use the 5% level of significance.
[8]
2.2.3 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean time
it takes the new machine to pack ten cartons and the mean time it takes the
present machine to pack ten cartons.

2.3 A manufacturer of automobile batteries claims that the distribution of the lengths of
battery life is normally distributed with a mean of 100 hours and a standard deviation
of 12 hours. A sample of 50 batteries from this manufacturer was randomly selected
and it was discovered to have a mean battery life of 95.5 hours. What is the probability
that the sample average life of a battery is between 95 and 100 hours?

QUESTION 3 (40 MARKS]
3.1 Ors. Leon Festinger and James M. Carlsmith performed an experiment in cognitive
dissonance ("Cognitive Consequences of Forced Compliance"). In it, they had three
groups: (1) those in Control condition; (2) those in One Dollar condition and (3) those
in Twenty Dollar condition. Copy and complete the partially completed ANOVA table
consistent with the results of their experiment below.

3.2 In preparing a national promotional campaign to raise funds for Orphans and
Vulnerable Children (OVC),the organising charity examined previous records of
donation to establish if age of donor is a factor in the monetary size of the donation
received from a donor. Their records we arranged in the following contingency table:
Size of donation
Age group
A(20-34)
8(35-49)
C(Above 49)
Above N$100

40
47
N$50-N$100

Can it be concluded that the age of donor influences the size of the donation to this
charity? Test at 1 % level of significance.

3.3.2 Using the Mann-Whitney U test, test at 1% level of significance if there is
evidence of the difference in summated ratings of brand A and brand B. (10]
3.4 An instructor hypothesizes that the standard deviation of the final exam grades in
her statistics class is larger for the male students than it is for the female students.
The data from the final exam for the last semester are shown below. Assume that
exam marks are normally distributed.
Males
Females
n = 16
S = 4.2
n = 18
S = 2.3
Is there enough evidence to support her claim, using the 10% level of significance?[8]
