    QUESTION NO. 1
    Two distances are measured as 27.3mm and is 15.6mm with standard deviations of
    0.16mm and 0.08mm respectively. Determine the mean and standard deviations of:-
    The sum and the difference of the distance
    Given:
    d1 = 27.3 mm δ = 0.16 mm
    d1 = 15.6 mm δ = 0.18 mm

    Solution:

    µ𝑋𝐴 = 27.3𝑚𝑚

    µ𝑋𝐵 = 15.6𝑚𝑚

    MEAN OF DIFFERENCES ,
    µ𝑋𝐴+ 𝑋𝐵 = µ𝑋𝐴 + µ𝑋𝐵
    µ𝑋𝐴+ 𝑋𝐵 = 27.3𝑚𝑚 + 15.6𝑚𝑚
    µ𝑿𝑨+ 𝑿𝑩 = 𝟒𝟐. 𝟗𝒎𝒎

    𝛿𝑠1+𝑠2 = √𝛿12 + 𝛿22

    𝛿𝑠1+𝑠2 = √(0.16)2 + (0.08)2

    THE DIFFERENCE OF THE DISTANCE


    Mean of differences ,
    µ𝑋𝐴− 𝑋𝐵 = µ𝑋𝐴 − µ𝑋𝐵
    µ𝑋𝐴− 𝑋𝐵 = 27.3𝑚𝑚 − 15.6𝑚𝑚
    µ𝑿𝑨− 𝑿𝑩 = 𝟏𝟏. 𝟕𝒎𝒎

    QUESTION NO 2:
    If P is the observed proportion of successes in a sample of size Ng, show that the
    confidence limits for estimating the population proportion of successes “p” at the
    level of confidence; determined by Zc are given by:-

    𝑍𝑐2 𝑃(1 − 𝑃) 𝑍𝑐2

    The formula for the confidence interval for the population proportions p can be
    derived as follows
