(a)Suppose for PolyU students, the average price of smartphones they pay is $4500 with a
standard deviation of $2400. If a random sample of 45 students is selected from PolyU, what is the
probability that the mean price of their smartphones is less than $4200?
(b) A random sample of 8 notebook computers with the N1 processor is selected and the prices (in
HK$) of these computers are listed below:
7500 9700 14490 8999 6299 12499 13290 8799
i. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean price of all notebook computers with the N1
processor. State any assumption(s)/approximation(s) used and inter- pret your result.
ii. Determine the sample size required if we want to be 95% confident that the error of our estimate
is at most HK$750. State any assumption(s)/ approximation(s) used.
(c) In a random sample of 200 staff from PolyU, it is found that 126 of them have adopted work
from home in 2021. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of PolyU staff who
have adopted work from home in 2021.
