Prove the converse of Theorem MCT. That is, let \(X\) be a random variable with a continuous cdf \(F(x)\). Assume that \(F(x)\) is strictly increasing on the space of \(X .\) Consider the random variable \(Z=F(X)\). Show that \(Z\) has a uniform distribution on the interval \((0,1)\)
Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{9}\) be a random sample of size 9 from a distribution that is \(N\left(\mu, \sigma^{2}\right)\). (a) If \(\sigma\) is known, find the length of a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) if this interval is based on the random variable \(\sqrt{9}(\bar{X}-\mu) / \sigma\) (b) If \(\sigma\) is unknown, find the expected value of the length of a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for \(\mu\) if this interval is based on the random variable \(\sqrt{9}(\bar{X}-\mu) / S\). Hint: \(\quad\) Write \(E(S)=(\sigma / \sqrt{n-1}) E\left[\left((n-1) S^{2} / \sigma^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}\right]\). (c) Compare these two answers.

Let \(p\) denote the probability that, for a particular tennis player, the first serve is good. Since \(p=0.40\), this player decided to take lessons in order to increase \(p\). When the lessons are completed, the hypothesis \(H_{0}: p=0.40\) is tested against \(H_{1}: p>0.40\) based on \(n=25\) trials. Let \(y\) equal the number of first serves that are good, and let the critical region be defined by \(C=\\{y: y \geq 13\\}\). (a) Determine \(\alpha=P(Y \geq 13 ; p=0.40)\). (b) Find \(\beta=P(Y<13)\) when \(p=0.60\); that is, \(\beta=P(Y \leq 12 ; p=0.60)\) so that \(1-\beta\) is the power at \(p=0.60\).
A die was cast \(n=120\) independent times and the following data resulted: \begin{tabular}{c|cccccc} Spots Up & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \hline Frequency & \(b\) & 20 & 20 & 20 & 20 & \(40-b\) \end{tabular} If we use a chi-square test, for what values of \(b\) would the hypothesis that the die is unbiased be rejected at the \(0.025\) significance level?
