Problem 1

State the null and alternative hypotheses; calculate the appropriate test statistic; provide an \(\alpha=.05\) rejection region; and state your conclusions. A random sample of \(n=1000\) from a binomial population contained 279 successes. You wish to show that \(p<.3\)

Problem 1

Independent random samples were selected from two binomial populations, with sample sizes and the number of successes given. Use this information to calculate \(\hat{p}_{1}, \hat{p}_{2},\) and \(\hat{p}\). $$ n_{1}=1250, n_{2}=1100, x_{1}=565, x_{2}=621 $$

Problem 1

Define \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) for a statistical test of hypothesis.

Problem 1

List the five parts of a statistical test.

Problem 2

Define the level of significance.

Problem 2

Independent random samples were selected from two binomial populations, with sample sizes and the number of successes given. Use this information to calculate \(\hat{p}_{1}, \hat{p}_{2},\) and \(\hat{p}\). $$ n_{1}=60, n_{2}=60, x_{1}=43, x_{2}=36 $$

Problem 2

For a fixed sample size \(n\), what is the effect on \(\beta\) when \(\alpha\) is decreased?

Problem 2

State the null and alternative hypotheses; calculate the appropriate test statistic; provide an \(\alpha=.05\) rejection region; and state your conclusions. A random sample of \(n=1400\) observations from a binomial population produced \(x=529\) successes. You wish to show that \(p\) differs from .4

Problem 3

State the null and alternative hypotheses; calculate the appropriate test statistic; provide an \(\alpha=.05\) rejection region; and state your conclusions. Seventy-two successes were observed in a random sample of \(n=120\) observations from a binomial population. You wish to show that \(p>.5\).

Problem 4

Calculate the p-value for the hypothesis tests given. $$ n=1000 \text { and } x=279 \text { . You wish to show that } p<.3 . $$
