Chapter 8: Q. 9.69 (page 370)

Consider a one-mean z-test. Denote z0 as the observed value of the test statistic z. If the test is right tailed, then the P-value can be expressed as P(z鈮�z0). Determine the corresponding expression for the P-value if the test is

a. Left failed b. Two-failed

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)Left-failedtestP-value=p(z鈮�z0),wherez~N(0,1)

(b) Therefore, one can compute the P-value of a two tailed z-test by using the expression given in (*) or by using anyone of the two expressions given in (**)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

One-mean z-test. Denote z0 as the observed value of the test statistic z .

02

Step 2.  The test statistics for a mean test.

The test statistic for a one-mean z-test with null hypothesis given by H0:渭 = 渭0 is

z=x-渭0蟽-n

If the null hypothesis is true the test statistic has the standard normal distribution i.e.

=z~ N(0,1).

03

Part(a) Step 3. Calculation

Left-failedtestP-value=p(z鈮�z0),wherez~N(0,1)=鈭�(z0)

04

Part (b) Step 4. Calculation

Two-failedtestP-value=P(z鈮�z0)+P(z鈮�-z0),wherez~N(0,1)=P(z鈮�-z0)+P(z鈮�-z0)P(z鈮�z0)+P(z鈮�z0)Normalcurveissymmetricaboutis0P(z鈮�-z0)=P(z鈮�z0)2P(z鈮�-z0)2P(z鈮�z0)...(**)

Therefore, one can compute the P-value of a two tailed z-test by using the expression given in (*) or by using anyone of the two expressions given in (**)

PowerFor a hypothesis test with a specified significance level , the probability of a type I error is, whereas the probability of a type II error depends on the particular value ofpthat is used as an alternative to the null hypothesis.

a.Using an alternative hypothesis ofp< 0.4, using a sample size ofn= 50, and assumingthat the true value ofpis 0.25, find the power of the test. See Exercise 34 鈥淐alculating Power鈥漣n Section 8-1. [Hint:Use the valuesp= 0.25 andpq/n= (0.25)(0.75)/50.]

b.Find the value of , the probability of making a type II error.

c.Given the conditions cited in part (a), find the power of the test. What does the power tell us about the effectiveness of the test?

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.

Tennis Instant Replay The Hawk-Eye electronic system is used in tennis for displaying an instant replay that shows whether a ball is in bounds or out of bounds so players can challenge calls made by referees. In a recent U.S. Open, singles players made 879 challenges and 231 of them were successful, with the call overturned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that fewer than 1/ 3 of the challenges are successful. What do the results suggest about the ability of players to see calls better than referees?

In Exercises 1鈥�4, use these results from a USA Today survey in which 510 people chose to respond to this question that was posted on the USA Today website: 鈥淪hould Americans replace passwords with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?鈥� Among the respondents, 53% said 鈥測es.鈥� We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29鈥�32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).

The proportion of people with blue eyes is equal to 0.35.

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29鈥�32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).

The proportion of people who write with their left hand is equal to 0.1.
