Chapter 8: Q. 9.35 (page 364)

This exercise contain graphs portraying the decision criterion for a one-mean 2-test. The curve in each graph is the normal curve for the test statistic under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. For each exercise, determine the

a. rejection region.

c. critical value(s).

b. nonrejection region.

d. significance level.

e. Construct a graph similar to that in Fig. 9.3 on page 361 that depicts your results from parts (a)-(d).

f. Identify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed or right tailed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The rejection region is z>1.645.

(b) The non rejection region is z 鈮�1.645.

(c)For the given graph, z=1.645 is the value which separates critical and non critical regions.

(d) The significance level is 0.05.

(e)

(f) As there is only one critical region towards right , the corresponding test is right -test failed.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

The curve in each graph is the normal curve for the test statistic under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.

02

Part(a) Step 2. Determine the rejection region

The rejection region for the above graph is the set of values of z which are greater than 1.645. That is, the rejection region is z>1.645.

03

Part (b) Step 3.  Determine the non-rejection region 

The non-rejection region for the above graph is the set of values of z which are less than 1.645. That is, the non rejection region is z 鈮�1.645.

04

Part(c) Step 4. Determine the critical values.

The critical value is the value of test statistic that separate the rejection and non rejection regions. For the given graph, z=1.645 is the value which separates critical and non critical regions.

05

Part( d) Step 5. Determine the significance level

The size of critical region is known as significance level. For the given graph, the size of critical region is 0.05.

Hence, the significance level is 0.05.

06

Part(e) Step 6. Construct a graph similar to that in Fig. 9.3 on page 361 that depicts your results from parts (a)-(d). 

The graph that depicts critical region, non critical region and critical value is shown below:

07

Part (f) Step 7. Identify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed or right tailed.

As there is only one critical region towards right , the corresponding test is right -test failed.

Lead in Medicine Listed below are the lead concentrations (in ) measured in different Ayurveda medicines. Ayurveda is a traditional medical system commonly used in India. The lead concentrations listed here are from medicines manufactured in the United States (based on data from 鈥淟ead, Mercury, and Arsenic in US and Indian Manufactured Ayurvedic Medicines Sold via the Internet,鈥� by Saper et al., Journal of the American Medical Association,Vol. 300, No. 8). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 14 渭g/g.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13鈥�24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Garlic for Reducing Cholesterol In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg>dL) have a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 21.0 (based on data from 鈥淓ffect of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults with Moderate Hypercholesterolemia,鈥� by Gardner et al., Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. 167, No. 4). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment?

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥�32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Medical Malpractice In a study of 1228 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 856 of them were dropped or dismissed (based on data from the Physicians Insurers Association of America). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed. Should this be comforting to physicians?

True/False Characterize each of the following statements as being true or false.

a. In a hypothesis test, a very high P-value indicates strong support of the alternative hypothesis.

b. The Student t distribution can be used to test a claim about a population mean whenever the sample data are randomly selected from a normally distributed population.

c. When using a x2 distribution to test a claim about a population standard deviation, there is a very loose requirement that the sample data are from a population having a normal distribution.

d. When conducting a hypothesis test about the claimed proportion of adults who have current passports, the problems with a convenience sample can be overcome by using a larger sample size.

e. When repeating the same hypothesis test with different random samples of the same size, the conclusions will all be the same.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9鈥�32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Mendelian Genetics When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. Use a 0.01 significance level to test Mendel鈥檚 claim that under the same circumstances, 25% of offspring peas will be yellow. What can we conclude about Mendel鈥檚 claim?
