      for 5 i got 0.647, 0.350 and some decimal for the k.
      for 9iv i got 0.472 i think x>=19.5 by c.c
      for 9vi is conditional prob and i said something about the margin of error being less than the probability of fault 0.08.

    Hi, wondering for the hypothesis testing question, is the left tail test accepted? Because in the real world context, the most important thing is u<32? Because if they overstated their claim, they can get sued but if they understated it then it doesnt matter? Well thats my logic but i regretted overthinking and changing my answer during the exam

      doubt it. It’s not about the company being sued, it’s about testing if the claim holds true. And since it’s two-tailed the critical region changes also.

    I’m so sorry. This may seem very pessimistic but I would just like to know, what do u think are the cutoffs for grades C and D? It would be really helpful.

    Hello there. This might come off as very pessimistic, but do u by any chance have any idea what the marks range is going to be for grades C and D overall? Would be really helpful
