Given two complex numbers, find by inspection the one that is a root of a given quartic real polynomial and hence find the other roots. 

Solve: $\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+2a\frac{dy}{dx}+(a^2+b^2)y=0,\;y(0)=1$ and $y'(0)=c$.

Given two sets of data, sample mean and sample standard deviation, on performance on the same task, make a decision as to whether or not the mean times differ. Population variance not given, so the t test has to be used in conjunction with the pooled sample standard deviation.

Provided with information on a sample with sample mean and standard deviation, but no information on the population variance, use the t test to either accept or reject a given null hypothesis.

Provided with information on a sample with sample mean and known population variance, use the z test to either accept or reject a given null hypothesis.
