Statistics Exercise for MTH5411 Students

1. This document contains 5 exercises related to distributional modeling and hypothesis testing. The exercises involve assessing sample data to select an appropriate model, performing chi-squared tests to test if data fits binomial or Poisson distributions, testing if drug effect duration fits an exponential distribution, and testing if burger fat content is normally distributed. 2. The second exercise asks students to perform a chi-squared test to determine if sample data involving the number of even scores when rolling 4 dice 200 times fits a binomial distribution. 3. The third exercise involves performing a chi-squared test to determine if sample data on the number of misprints per page fits a Poisson distribution with a mean of 4.

SEMESTER 2 2019/2020
Exercise 5

1. Suppose you are at the validation stage distributional modelling. Describe briefly how
you may
a) Informally asses your data/sample so as to make a guess as to what your model
should be (give an example).
b) Informally asses your data/sample so as to make a confirmation on the model of
your choice (provide an example).
Note: Your conjectured model maybe discrete or continuous.

2. Four identical six-sided dice, each with faces marked 1 to 6 are rolled 200 times. At
each rolling, a record is made of the number of dies whose score on the uppermost face
is even. The result are as follows.

No of even score, 𝑥𝑖 0 1 2 3 4
Frequency, 𝑓𝑖 10 41 70 57 22

a) Explain why binomial model might describe the distribution of X.


b) Perform the 𝜒 2 -test at 𝛼 = 0.05 to test whether the sample used comes from a
binomial.

3. The number of misprints on 200 selected pages from the 2018 editions of the Earth
News, a quality newspaper, were recorded. The table below summarize the result.

No of misprint per
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 >8
page, 𝑥𝑖
Frequency, 𝑓𝑖 5 12 31 40 38 29 22 14 5 4

Perform the 𝜒 2 − test at 𝛼 = 0.05 to test the claim that a suitable model for these data
is Poisson with a mean of 4.

4. The duration, in hours, of the effect of the standard dose of a certain drug on a healthy
adult female is thought to be exponentially distributed. The table below shows the
results for a random sample of 200 healthy females all given standard dose.

Duration 0- 3- 6- 9- 12 - 18 - 24 - 36
Females 40 31 31 22 23 22 31

Test the hypothesis that the duration of the effect is exponentially distributed.

5. An analysis of the fat content, X % of a random sample of 175 particular burgers
resulted in the following table.

Fat content No of burgers


26 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 28 7
28 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 30 22
30 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 32 36
32 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 34 45
34 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 36 33
36 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 38 28
38 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 40 4

Can it be assumed that the fat content of this grade of burger is normally distributed?
