Problem 1: Cold Storage started its operations in Jan 2016. They are in the business of storing
Pasteurized Fresh Whole or Skimmed Milk, Sweet Cream, Flavoured Milk Drinks. To ensure
that there is no change of texture, body appearance, separation of fats the optimal temperature to
be maintained is between 2º - 4º C. In the first year of business, they outsourced the plant
maintenance work to a professional company with stiff penalty clauses. It was agreed that if it
was statistically proven that the probability of temperature going outside the 2º - 4º C during the
one-year contract was above 2.5% and less than 5% then the penalty would be 10% of AMC
(annual maintenance case). In case it exceeded 5% then the penalty would be 25% of the AMC
fee. The average temperature data at the date level is given in the file
“Cold_Storage_Temp_Data_.csv”

6. What will be the penalty for the AMC Company? (5 marks) Dataset to be used for Problem 1:
Cold_Storage_Temp_Data_.csv
Solution:
Exploratory Data Analysis:
Note: In the image above only top 5 data is displayed.
Dataset has 4 variables Season, Month, Date and Temperature. Season and Month both are categorical
columns while Date is integer and Temperature is a float type.
Descriptive Statistics for the dataset:
There are 3 unique values in Season column in which winter season has the most values in the season
column. Mean for the Temperature is 3.002 with the standard deviation of 0.465.
Check for Null values
Note: Date column has been dropped from the DataSet as it was insignificant for analysis
From the above results, it is evident that there is no null values present in the dataset.
1. Find mean cold storage temperature for Summer, Winter, and Rainy Season. (7 marks)
Summer Mean = sum (Temperature of summer)/number of rows for summer
Winter Mean = sum (Temperature of Winter)/number of rows for winter
Rainy Mean = sum (Temperature of Rainy)/number of rows for Rainy
The mean cold storage temperature for Summer is 3.147500
The mean cold storage temperature for Winter is 2.776423
The mean cold storage temperature for Rainy season is 3.087705
2. Find the overall mean for the full year. (7 marks)
Overall Mean = sum (Temperature)/number of rows

Overall mean for the full year is 3.002466
3. Find Standard Deviation for the full year. (7 marks)
Overall Standard Deviation for the full year is 0.465193
4. Assume Normal distribution, what is the probability of temperature having fallen below 2º C? (7
marks)
μ = overall mean for the full year = overall_mean = 3.0
σ = standard deviation for the full year = overall_std 0.46
x1 = lower bound = 2 degree Celsius
Using the z-score formula = (x1-µ)/σ = -2.150537634408602
Now using the z-table, the probability of temperature having fallen below 2 C is 0.015
5. Assume Normal distribution, what is the probability of temperature having gone above 4º C? (7
marks)
μ = overall mean for the full year = overall_mean = 3.0
σ = standard deviation for the full year = overall_std = 0.46
x2= upper bound = 4 degree Celsius
Using the z-score formula = (x2-µ)/σ = 2.15
Now using the z-table, the probability of temperature having gone above 4 C is 0.015
6. What will be the penalty for the AMC Company? (5 marks)

Penalty for the annual amount company is applicable when the probability of temperature is going out
of 2C – 4C Celsius.
Total probability of temperature going out of the above range = probability of temperature having gone
above 4C + the probability of temperature having below 1C
Total probability = 0.03
Since the probability of temperature going outside the 2 C – 4 C during the one-year contract is above
2.5% and less than 5% then the penalty would be 10%
Problem 2: In Mar 2018, Cold Storage started getting complaints from their clients that they have been
getting complaints from end consumers of the dairy products going sour and often smelling. On getting
these complaints, the supervisor pulls out data of the last 35 days’ temperatures. As a safety measure,
the Supervisor has been vigilant to maintain the mean temperature 3.9º C or below.
Assume 3.9º C as the upper acceptable mean temperature and at alpha = 0.1 do you feel that there is a
need for some corrective action in the Cold Storage Plant or is it that the problem is from the
procurement side from where Cold Storage is getting the Dairy Products. The data of the last 35 days is
in “Cold_Storage_Mar2018_.csv”
1. Which Hypothesis test shall be performed to check if corrective action is needed at the cold storage
plant? Justify your answer. (6 marks)
2. State the Hypothesis and do the necessary calculations to accept or reject the corresponding null
hypothesis. (8 marks)
3. Give your inference. (6 marks)
Dataset to be used for Problem 2: Cold_Storage_Mar2018_.csv
Solution:
1. Which Hypothesis test shall be performed to check if corrective action is needed at the cold storage
plant? Justify your answer. (6 marks)
T-Test has to be performed to check if corrective action is needed at the cold storage. We have to go
with T-Test because, population Standard deviation is not given
2. State the Hypothesis and do the necessary calculations to accept or reject the corresponding null
hypothesis. (8 marks)
Step 1: Define null and alternative hypotheses
Null Hypothesis(H0): Mean temperature<= 3.9c(If NULL Hypothesis is accepted, no corrective action at
cold storage is needed)
Alternate Hypothesis(H1): Mean temperature >3.9c
Step 2: Decide the significance level
Level of significance: 0.10
Step 3: Identify the test statistic
We do not know the population standard deviation and n = 35. So we use the t distribution and the
tSTAT test statistic.
Step 4: Calculate the p - value and test statistic
scipy.stats.ttest_1samp calculates the t test for the mean of one sample given the sample observations
and the expected value in the null hypothesis. This function returns t statistic and the two-tailed p value
One sample t test
t statistic: [2.75235861] p value: [0.0094224]
Step 5 Decide to reject or accept null hypothesis
We have evidence to reject the null hypothesis since p value < Level of significance
Our one-sample t-test p-value= [0.0094224]
3. Give your inference. (6 marks)
Since, NULL Hypothesis is rejected,which states that probability of the cold storage being at fault is
statistically more responsible for sour and often smelling dairy products. There is a need for some
corrective action in the Cold Storage Plant
