- a) Check the assumptions and conditions for inference.
- b) Write a 95% confidence interval.
- c) Explain what your interval means in this context.
- d) Given the cost of BST, a farmer believes he cannot afford to use it unless he is sure of attaining at least a 25% increase in milk production. Based on your confidence interval, what advice would you give him?

28. (a) Under what conditions do we say that two random variables X and Y are
independent?
(b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) =
E(X)E(Y);
(e) Show by a counter example that the converse of (ii) is not necessarily true.
1. Let X and Y be random variables and suppose that A = F. Prove that
Z XI(A)+YI(A) is a random variable.
