Chapter 8: Que. 2 (page 392)

The following statement appeared on a box of Tide laundry detergent : "Individuals packages of Tide may weigh slightly more or less than the marked weight due to normal variations incurred with high speed packaging machines, but each day's production of Tide will average slightly above the marked weight."

a. Explain in statistical terms what the statement means.

b. Describe in words hypothesis test for checking the statement.

c. Suppose that the marked weight is 76 ounces. State in words the null and alternative hypothesis for the hypothesis test. Express those hypothesis in statistical terminology.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). A particular package weight may weigh slightly differ from the marked weight. The mean weight of all packages produced on any specific day exceeds marked weight.

b).

The null hypothesis would be that the population mean weight for a specified day equals the marked weight.

The alternative hypothesis would be that the population mean weight for a specified day exceeds marked weight.

c).H0:渭=0.76oz.Ha:渭>0.76oz.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Explanation (a).

A particular package weight may weigh slightly differ from the marked weight. The mean weight of all packages produced on any specific day exceeds marked weight. Hence Here the variable under consideration is the weight of a package of a Tide.

02

Step 2. Description (b).

The null hypothesis :

population mean weight for a specified day = the marked weight.

The alternative hypothesis :

population mean weight for a specified day > marked weight.

In statistical terminology, the null and alternative hypothesis are

H0:The population mean weight for a specified day = the marked weight.

Ha:The population mean weight for a specified day > the marked weight.

03

Step 3. Statement (c).

The null hypothesis :

population mean weight for a specified day = the marked weight of 76 oz.

The alternative hypothesis :

population mean weight for a specified day > marked weight of 76 oz.

In statistical terminology, the null and alternative hypothesis are

H0:The population mean weight for a specified day equals the marked weight.

localid="1651916348839" H0:渭=76oz.

Ha:The population mean weight for a specified day exceeds the marked weight.

localid="1651916356260" Ha:渭>76oz.

Test Statistics. In Exercises 13鈥�16, refer to the exercise identified and find the value of the test statistic. (Refer to Table 8-2 on page 362 to select the correct expression for evaluating the test statistic.)

Exercise 5 鈥淥nline Data鈥�

Hypothesis Test with Known 蟽 How do the results from Exercise 13 鈥淐ourse Evaluations鈥� change if 蟽is known to be 0.53? Does the knowledge of 蟽 have much of an effect?

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 8 鈥淧ulse Rates鈥�

Calculating Power Consider a hypothesis test of the claim that the Ericsson method of gender selection is effective in increasing the likelihood of having a baby girl, so that the claim is p>0.5. Assume that a significance level of 伪= 0.05 is used, and the sample is a simple random sample of size n = 64.

a. Assuming that the true population proportion is 0.65, find the power of the test, which is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. (Hint: With a 0.05 significance level, the critical value is z = 1.645, so any test statistic in the right tail of the accompanying top graph is in the rejection region where the claim is supported. Find the sample proportion in the top graph, and use it to find the power shown in the bottom graph.)

b. Explain why the green-shaded region of the bottom graph represents the power of the test.

Interpreting Power Chantix (varenicline) tablets are used as an aid to help people stop smoking. In a clinical trial, 129 subjects were treated with Chantix twice a day for 12 weeks, and 16 subjects experienced abdominal pain (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). If someone claims that more than 8% of Chantix users experience abdominal pain, that claim is supported with a hypothesis test conducted with a 0.05 significance level. Using 0.18 as an alternative value of p, the power of the test is 0.96. Interpret this value of the power of the test.
