6 Section B: Statistics [60 marks] 5 Systematic sampling of every 30th employee arranged in alphabetical order by name may result in too many employees chosen from a particular age group. The method is stratified sampling. To carry out a stratified sample, stratify the 1500 employees into the 3 age groups. Take a random sample from each stratum with sample size proportional to the relative size of the stratum: Age group 21-40 41-60 60 and above No. of employees 35% × 50 = 17.5 ≈ 18 50% × 50 = 25 15% × 50 = 7.5 ≈ 7 6 (i) ENDANGERED: 3E, 2N, 2D, 1A, 1G, 1R No of 4-letter code-words from E, N, D, A, G, R 6 4 4! 360 C=× = (ii) Select 1 letter from N, D, A, G, R.

(ii) It means that there is a probability of 0.01 of concluding that the mean payment made is less than $10000, given that the mean payment made is $10000. (iii) p-value for the two-tailed test = 2 × 0.0066172 = 0.013234 Since p-value = 0.013234 > α = 0.01, we do not reject H 0 at 1% level of significance, i.e. the conclusion in part (i) would not be the same.
