(b) A Machine is supposed to drill holes with a diameter of 1 inch. In fact , the diameters are
normally distributed with a mean of 1.0 inches and a standard deviation of 0.02 inch. If
there is a tolerance of 0.02 inch, the holes should be between 0.99 and 1.02 inches. What
percentage of the holes drilled are within tolerance limits?
Question No 4

(a) Two methods of performing a certain task in a manufacturing plant, method A and
method B, are under study . The variable of interest is length of time required to
perform the task . It is known that the variance of method A is 9 minutes squared
and the variance of method B is 12 minutes squared. A simple random sample of 35
employees performed the task by method A and independent simple random sample
of 35 employees performed the task by method B. The average time required by the
first group to complete the task was 25 minutes and the average time for the second
group was 23 minutes. What is the probability of observing difference this large ,if
there is no difference in the true average length of time required to perform the
task?
(b) An auto company decided to introduce a new six cylinder car whose mean petrol
consumption is claimed to be lower than that of the existing auto engine. It was
found that the mean petrol consumption for the 50 cars was 14 km per liter with a
standard deviation of 3.5 km per liter. Test for the company at 5% level of
significance, whether the claim , the new car petrol consumption is 13.5 Km per liter
on the average is acceptable.
