INTRODUCTION

Statistics is a mathematical science including methods of collecting, organizing and

analysing data in such a way that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from them. In general,
its investigations and analyses fall into two broad categories called descriptive and inferential
statistics. Descriptive statistic describes as the basic feature of the data studies. They provide
simple summaries along with a simple graphic data or analysis to form virtual quantitative
analysis of data.

A population often consists of a large group of specifically defined elements. For example, the
population of a specific country means all the people living within the boundaries of that
country.

Usually, it is not possible or practical to measure data for every element of the
population under study, randomly select a small group of elements from the population and
call it a sample. Inferences about the population are then made on the basis of several samples.
METHODOLOGY

In this project, three sample of data are given to our group. We need to apply
and solve our problems by using our knowledge from the studies of statistic. Our group are
using different chapters from the statistic studies which are;-

a) Chapter 1 : Review on Descriptive Statistics

b) Chapter 5 : Sampling Distribution
c) Chapter 6 : Estimation
d) Chapter 7 : Hypothesis Testing

- Chapter 1: we are using the measures of location which is to determine the mean,
mode, median, quartile, variance and the standard deviation.

- Chapter 3 : Using Calculation of probability of single mean. There are 4 steps:-

1) Write the mean of the sample

2) Write the standard deviation of the sample mean
3) Write the distribution in normal distribution form
4) Find the probability of sample mean

- Chapter 6 : Using the Maximum error of estimate : the maximum likely difference
between the point estimate of a parameter and the actual value of the parameter

- Chapter 7 : Using Testing of hypothesis on a single population mean

PROBLEM STATEMENT

For sample 1

From table 1, calculate:-

a) Mean, mode, median, first quartile, third quartile, interquartile range, variance and

standard deviation of the volume of concrete used for sub-structure construction

(m3/day).

b) The volume of concrete used for sub-structure construction is 24.66 m3/day and the

standard deviation of 6.769 m3/day. Find the probability that a random sample of 35

number will have average of less than 23 m3/day.

c) The comprehensive strength of concrete is being tested by an engineer of civil

engineering. Specimens of 35 samples were tested and the obtained data present in table

1. Construct a 95% confidence interval for mean strength of the concrete.

For sample 2:

a) Mean, mode, median, first quartile, third quartile, interquartile range, variance and

standard deviation of the volume of concrete used for sub-structure construction

(m3/day).

b) The volume of concrete used for sub-structure construction is 63.40 m3/day and the

standard deviation of 19.894 m3/day. Find the probability that a random sample of 35

number will have average of less than 60 m3/day.

 c) The comprehensive strength of concrete is being tested by an engineer of civil

engineering. Specimens of 35 samples were tested and the obtained data present in table

2. Construct a 98% confidence interval for mean strength of the concrete.

For sample 3:

a) Mean, mode, median, first quartile, third quartile, interquartile range, variance, standard

deviation and also stem and leaf diagram of the volume of concrete used for sub-

structure construction (m3/day).

b) The volume of concrete used for sub-structure construction is 43.60 m3/day and the

standard deviation of 17.697 m3/day. Find the probability that a random sample of 35

number will have average of less than 60 m3/day.

c) A random sample of 35 site construction was taken in Malaysia during past year showed

an average concrete use of 43.60 m3/day. Assuming a standard deviation of 17.697

years, does this seem indicate that the mean concrete today is greater than

40 m3/day. Use 0.01 level of significances.

CONCLUSION

After using several chapters of statistic studies, we found out that it is much easier to

solve each problem that we faced along the project. This type of solving are not only for the

engineering coursework but also can be applied in our daily life. By learning statistic course,

the process of solving problems are much easier and precise. We can use this type of solving

in our career life especially in engineering coursework.
