Question 5

(a) A chemical plant is required to maintain ambient sulfur levels in the working environment
atmosphere at an average level of no more than 12.50. The results of 64 randomly timed
measurements of sulfur level produced a sample mean of 𝑥= 13.50 and a sample standard
deviation of 𝑠 = 2.91. A hypothesis testing is carried out to see if there is any evidence that
the chemical plant is in violation of the working code, at 𝛼 = 0.05 level of significance.

(i) State the null and alternate hypotheses.

(2 marks)

(ii) Should the null hypothesis be rejected?

(6 marks)
(iii) Has the chemical plant violated the working code with regards to the sulfur level?
(2 marks)
(iv) Verify your answer in part (iii) using the confidence interval.
(4 marks)

(b) (i) Use Euler’s method with ℎ = 0.05 to approximate 𝑦(0.3) correct to three decimal
dy y
places given that y (0)  1.2 and  .
dx 1  x
(6 marks)
(ii) Show that the analytical solution of this initial value problem is the same with the
answer in part (i).
(5 marks)
