A population study in the Maldive islands
Abstract:
The Maldive Islands harbour, among 2,000 widely scattered coral islands, 190 atolls at present inhabited by over 128,000 persons. Between 1956-1976 the Royal Air Force occupied an air staging station which resulted in an increase in material and health prosperity, mostly affecting Hittadu Island. The growth rate which was 2.6% for the Maldivian population prior to that period, increased to 4.4%, resulting in a population density of 1,085 per sqkm. The unenviable prospects of the withdrawal are described.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used; instead...
