divided into four geographic regions, a random sampling of 100 consumers in each
region was surveyed, with the following results. At 0.05 significance level, test
whether brand share is the same across the four regions.

Purchase the brand 40 55 45 50 190
Do not purchase 60 45 55 50 210

Q.5 Dr. Trivedi, the dean of students at KR institute, is wondering about grade distribution
at the institute. He has heard grumblings that the GPAs in the Business School are
about 0.25 lower than those in the institute of Arts and Sciences. A quick random
sampling produced the following GPAs.
Business Institute: 2.86, 2.77, 3.18, 2.80, 3.14, 2.87, 3.19, 3.24, 2.91, 3.00, 2.83

Arts and Sciences: 3.35, 3.32, 3.36, 3.63, 3.41, 3.37, 3.45, 3.43, 3.44, 3.17, 3.26,
Institute 3.18, 3.41

Do these data indicate that there is a factual basis for the grumblings? State and test
appropriate hypotheses at alpha=0.02.

Q.5 Recent study reports that the average price for a gallon of self serve regular unleaded
gasoline is Rs. 116. Mr. Gupta believes that the figure is higher in your area of the
country. He decided to test this claim for part of the Maharshtra by randomly calling
gasoline stations. His random survey of 25 stations produces the following prices in
Rs.
127 129 116 120 137 120 123 119 120 124 116 107 127 109 135
115 123 114 105 135 121 114 114 107 110

Assume gasoline prices for a region are normally distributed. Do the data you obtained
provide enough evidence to reject the claim? Use a 1% level of significance.
