    Question 3

    Suppose a training manager would like to carry out a hypothesis testing to evaluate
    whether there is any difference in the effectiveness of two training methods. To test the
    difference in the two methods, the manager randomly selected one group of 15
    employees to undergo training method A and a second group of 12 employees to undergo
    training method B. The test scores of the two methods are shown in Table Q3.

    Training method A Training method B

    52 50 52 44 56 54 59 55 65

    45 47 53 47 48 57 52 64 53

    43 51 42 42 44 56 53 53 57

    Table Q3

    (a) State the null and alternative hypothesis.


    (2 marks)

    (b) At 5 % level of significance, carry out a suitable hypothesis test to determine


    whether there is any significance difference in the mean scores of the two groups
    of employees. State any assumptions used.
    (14 marks)

    (c) Construct a 95 % confidence interval for the difference in the mean scores of the
    two training methods.
    (4 marks)

    Question 4

    (a) Table Q4(a) shows the number of washing machines sold and the amount of
    money spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars $) for a company as recorded
    over a ten-month period. The number of washing machines sold is the dependent
    variable Y because its value depends on the amount of money spent on
    advertising, the independent variable X.

    expenditure is $18000.

    (b) An insurance agent has claimed that the average age of policy holders who insure
    through him is less than 35 years old. A random sample of 40 policy holders who
    insured through him gave an average of 32 years with the standard error of 2
    years. At 5 % level of significance, carry out a suitable hypothesis test to ascertain
    whether the insurance agent’s claim is justified.
    (7 marks)

    Question 5

    (a) Suppose an analyst in the airline industry carried out a study to determine whether
    there is a difference in the cost per mile of airfares in a particular country between
    1980 and 2014. The data in Table Q5(a) represents the costs per mile of airline
    tickets for a sample of 17 cities in this country for both 1980 and 2014.
