According to the Gregor Mendels theoretical results, the expected figures are in the ratio
9:3:3:1.
Assume that the theory is correct, calculate the value of 2 for these data. Test at the 5%
significance level whether the theory is contradicted.

A milk powder is packed into packets of two sizes. The distribution of the mass in each
small packet may be regarded as normal distribution with mean 1003 g and standard
deviation 5 g. Mean while, in each large packet is another independent normal variable
with mean 2008 g and standard deviation 9 g.
(a)
The random variable Y is defined as the difference of mass of one randomly
chosen large packet and the total mass of two randomly chosen small packets.
Find E(Y) and Var (Y).

A random sample of 150 observations of Y was chosen with a sample mean 2.3.
Calculate a symmetric 90% confidence interval of the population mean. [3 marks]
(c)
The value of p is given as P(Y > 0). Find the value of p. In (b), it is found that 90
observations of Y exceeds zero. Using a hypothesis test at 5% significant level,
determine whether the value of p has changed.
