Computer Oriented Statistical Methods

This document appears to be an exam for a statistics course, consisting of two parts with multiple choice and written response questions. Part A contains 5 multiple choice questions testing concepts like probability, distributions, and experimental design. Part B contains longer answer questions on additional topics such as probability mass functions, Chebyshev's inequality, Poisson distribution, normal distribution, correlation, analysis of variance, and comparing sample means. The exam is 3 hours long and worth a total of 75 marks.

4. (a) The guaranteed average life of a certain type


of electric light bulb is 1000 hours with a
standard deviation of 125 hours. It is decided
to sample the output so as to ensure that 90
percent of the bulbs do not fall short of the
guaranteed average by more than 2.5 percent.
What must be the minimum size of the
sample?
