Exercise 4: 5 Marks
Suppose that the mean cholesterol level for male aged 50 is 241. An investigator whishes to
examine whether cholesterol levels are significantly reduced by modifying diet only slightly. A
random sample of 12 patients agrees to participate in the study and follow the modified diet for 3
months. After 3 months, their cholesterol levels are measured and the mean cholesterol level in
the sample is 235 with a standard deviation of 12.5. Based on the data, is there statistical
evidence that the modified diet reduces cholesterol?
Rubrics
Hypothesis: 1 mark, Calculation: 3 marks, and conclusion: 1 mark.

Exercise 5: 5 Marks
You are a shrimp culturist. Anyhow, you have heard that a new type of shrimp feed may lead to
increase fish growth. You are excited to use new type of shrimp feed. You know that a shrimp
on standard feed weighs, on average, 100g per individual per 3 months. You feed a sample of 25
shrimp the new feed for 3 months. The average weight of a individual shrimp on the new feed is
129 g with a standard deviation of 30 g. Should you switch to the new feed? Use the .05 level of
significance.

Exercise 6: 5 Marks
Growth of open waters fishes are usually understood by observing the growth coefficient.
Growth of fish is considered isometric if growth coefficient value is 3 and growth coefficient
value of other than 3 is considered allometric growth. To know growth of Kuantan river fishes,
you have collected 28 Kuantan river fishes and have calculated their growth co-efficient with a
mean of 2.91 and a standard devistion of 0.32. Based on the collected data,make a conclusion
about growth pattern of Kuantan river fishes.

In a series of experiments on the determination of tin in foodstuffs, samples were boiled with
hydrochloric acid under reflux for different times. Some of the results are shown bellow:
Refluxing time (min) Tin found (mg kg -1)
30 55, 57, 59, 56, 56, 59

75 57, 55, 58, 59, 59, 59
Does the mean amount of tin found differ significantly for the two boiling times?
An analyst wants to compare the performances of two test methods for the determination of
selenium in vegetables. The analyst selects a suitable sample and analyses eight portions of the
sample using Method 1 and eight portion using Method 2. The results are as follows:
Method 1 0.20, 0.19, 0.14, 0.19, 0.23, 0.21, 0.22, 0.21

Method 2 0.18, 0.14, 0.14, 0.16, 0.28, 0.15, 0.14, 0.12
Test whether the mean value of the results imply a significance difference.
