Subject: (MTH 305) Mathematics 5 Spec.: Comm., Mec
Examiners: Dr S. Shenawy Time: 3 hours
Number of Pages: 2 Number of Questions: 5 Attempt all questions
1. (a) (10 points) Trust Industries Company has seven production employees
(considered as the population). The hourly earnings of each employee
are given in the following table
12 14 14 14 16 16 16
i. Find the sampling distribution of sample means for all samples of
size 2.
ii. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution.
iii. Find the population mean and standard deviation .
iv. What observations can be made about the population and the sam-
pling distribution?
(b) (4 points)A research …rm conducted a survey to determine the mean
amount Americans spend on co¤ee during a week. They found the
distribution of weekly spending followed the normal distribution with
a population standard deviation of $5. A sample of 49 Americans
revealed that X = $20. Using the 96% level of con…dence, determine
the con…dence interval for .
2. (a) (7 points)A Company is studying the relationship between kilowatt-
hours (thousands) used and the number of rooms in a private single-
family residence. A random sample of 5 homes yielded the following
Number of Rooms 12 9 14 6 10
Kilowatt-Hours 9 7 10 5 8
Find the regression line of y on x using the method of least squares.
Determine the number of kilowatt-hours, in thousands, for a six-room
house. Finally, …nd and interpret the corelation coe¢ cient between x
and y:
(b) (7 points)The following sample data were organized into frequency dis-
tribution.
Interval 1 up to 3 3 up to 5 5 up to 7 7 up to 9 9 up to 11
Frequency 5 20 10 20 5
Compute the mean, median, mode, Q1 , Q3 and standard deviation.
3. (a) (7 points)There are …ve ‡ights daily from Pittsburgh via American Air-
lines into the Bradford Regional Airport in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
Suppose the probability that any ‡ight arrives late is 0:2. What is the
probability that none of the ‡ights are late today? What is the proba-
bility that at least one of the ‡ights is late today? Compute the mean
and standard deviation of this probability distribution.

(b) (7 points)For a discrete random variable x; the hypergeometric proba-
bility distribution is given by
12 8
Cx C5 x
p (x) = 20 C
; x = 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5

Verify that p (x) is a probability density function. Find the value of
and :
4. (a) (7 points) For the most recent year available, the mean annual cost to
attend a private university in the United States was $42300. Assume
the distribution of annual costs follows the normal probability distrib-
ution and the standard deviation is $4500. Find the probability that
annual cost to attend a private university will be
i. between $51300 and $52500:
ii. less than $31500.
Ninety-nine percent of all students at private universities pay less than
what amount?
(b) (7 points) The following continuous function is the uniform probability
mass function,
1
f (x) = where a x b
b a
where a; b are constants. Determine its mean , standard deviation
and the probability p a+b
2
x b .
5. (a) (7 points) The design load on a hoist is 50 tonnes. The hoist is used
to lift packages each having a mean weight of 1:2 tonnes. The weights
of individual packages are known to have a standard deviation of 0:3
tonnes. If 36 packages are lifted at one time, what is the probabil-
ity that the design load on the hoist will be exceeded? What is the
probability that the sample mean is between 1:3 and 1:33 tonnes?
(a) (7 points)A company produces machine components which pass through
an automatic testing machine. 5% of the components entering the test-
ing machine are defective. However, the machine is not entirely reli-
able. If a component is defective there is 4% probability that it will
not be rejected. If a component is not defective there is 7% probability
that it will be rejected. Find the probability
i. the components are rejected.
ii. the components are actually not defective given that they are re-
jected.
iii. the components are not defective and they are accepted.
