Ten students are selected at random from a college and their heights are found to be 100, 104, 106, 110, 118, 120,122,124,126 and 128 cms. In the light of these data discuss the assumption that the mean height of the students of the college is 110cm.

The table value of t at 5% level for 8 df is 2.306 and for 9 df is 2.262 and 10 df is 2.228 for a two tailed test.

Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon.

Upon this blasted heath you stop our way

With such a prophetic greeting?

Two truths are told,

As happy prologues to the swelling act

Of the imperial theme.

Do you not hear him? You mar our labour – keep

Your cabins. You do assist the storm.

We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

…. …. … then you can speak

Of one who loved not wisely but too well;

Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,

Perplexed in the extreme;

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For dews to peck at. I am not what I am.

O beware, my lord, of jealousy:

It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock

The meat I feeds on
