Q1) Assume average puppy weighs 10 pounds. Sample of 10 puppies yields sample mean of 13.2 pounds and sample standard deviation of 2.78 pounds. Suppose population standard deviation is known to be 5.25. You wish to test whether sample mean varies from population mean of 10 pounds at 5 percent level of significance using two-tailed test. State the critical value.

Q2) For patients over age 80, probability is 0.05 that coronary bypass patient will die soon after surgery, if hospital performs eight such operations, determine the probability of two or more fatalities?
