Let x denote the test statistic for a hypothesis test and x0 its observed value. Then the P-value of the hypothesis test equals

Part (a): Pxx0for a right-tailed test

Part (b): Pxx0for a left-tailed test

Part (c): 2.minPxx0,Pxx0for a two-tailed test

where the probabilities are computed under the assumption.

Part (a): The value of P-value equals xz,x0z0.

Part (b): The value of P-value equals xz,x0z0.

Part (c): The value of P-value equals P=2Pzz0,orforanyvalueofz02Pzz0.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

Pxx0

02

Part (a) Step 2. Consider a right-tailed test.

Consider a one-mean z-test.

The test statistic for a one-mean z-test using null hypothesisH0:=0is given below,

z=x-0an

In case the null hypothesis is true then the test statistic will have the standard normal distribution, which is z~N0,1.

Let z0 be the observed value of the test statistic z.

In case of the right tailed test, P-value=Pzz0, where z~N0,1.

So clearly, the expression is equivalent to the given expression asxz,x0z0.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Consider a left-tailed test.

Consider a one-mean z-test.

The test statistic for a one-mean z-test using null hypothesisH0:=0is given below,

z=x-0an

Let z0 be the observed value of the test statistic z.

In case of the left tailed test, P-value=Pzz0, where z~N0,1.

So clearly, the expression is equivalent to the given expression asxz,x0z0.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Consider two-tailed test.

Consider a one-mean z-test.

The test statistic for a one-mean z-test using null hypothesisH0:=0is given below,

z=x-0an

Let z0 be the observed value of the test statistic z.

In case of the two tailed test,

P-value=2minPzz0,Pzz0......(i)=2Pzz0,ifz0<0or2Pzz0,ifz0>0......(ii)=2Pzz0,ifz0<0or2Pzz0,ifz0>0ifz0<0,z0=-z0,ifz0>0,z0=z0=2Pzz0,orforanyvalueofz02Pzz0

05

Part (c) Step 2. Consider equations (i) and (ii).

We can see that the expression of probability given in part (c) is equivalent to the expression of P-value that is obtained.

The justification of step (i) and (ii) is given below,

Interpreting Power For the sample data in Example 1 鈥淎dult Sleep鈥 from this section, Minitab and StatCrunch show that the hypothesis test has power of 0.4943 of supporting the claim that <7 hours of sleep when the actual population mean is 6.0 hours of sleep. Interpret this value of the power, then identify the value of and interpret that value. (For the t test in this section, a 鈥渘oncentrality parameter鈥 makes calculations of power much more complicated than the process described in Section 8-1, so software is recommended for power calculations.)

In Exercises 9鈥12, refer to the exercise identified. Make subjective estimates to decide whether results are significantly low or significantly high, then state a conclusion about the original claim. For example, if the claim is that a coin favours heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favours heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).

Exercise 5 鈥淥nline Data鈥

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.

Touch Therapy When she was 9 years of age, Emily Rosa did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily鈥檚 hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 280 trials, the touch therapists were correct 123 times (based on data in 鈥淎 Close Look at Therapeutic Touch,鈥 Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 279, No. 13). Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that touch therapists use a method equivalent to random guesses. Do the results suggest that touch therapists are effective?

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.

Postponing Death An interesting and popular hypothesis is that individuals can temporarily postpone death to survive a major holiday or important event such as a birthday. In a study, it was found that there were 6062 deaths in the week before Thanksgiving, and 5938 deaths the week after Thanksgiving (based on data from 鈥淗olidays, Birthdays, and Postponement of Cancer Death,鈥 by Young and Hade, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 292, No. 24). If people can postpone death until after Thanksgiving, then the proportion of deaths in the week before should be less than 0.5. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of deaths in the week before Thanksgiving is less than 0.5. Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone death to survive the Thanksgiving holiday?

P-Values. In Exercises 17鈥20, do the following:

a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.

b. Find the P-value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)

c. Using a significance level of = 0.05, should we reject or should we fail to reject ?

The test statistic of z = 1.00 is obtained when testing the claim that p>0.3.
