An experiment was performed to compare the fracture toughness of high-purity \(18Ni\) maraging steel with commercial-purity steel of the same type (Corrosion Science, 1971: 723鈥736). For \(m = 32\)specimens, the sample average toughness was \(\overline x = 65.6\) for the high purity steel, whereas for \(n = 38\)specimens of commercial steel \(\overline y = 59.8\). Because the high-purity steel is more expensive, its use for a certain application can be justified only if its fracture toughness exceeds that of commercial purity steel by more than 5. Suppose that both toughness distributions are normal.

a. Assuming that \({\sigma _1} = 1.2\) and \({\sigma _2} = 1.1\), test the relevant hypotheses using \(\alpha = .001\).

b. Compute \(\beta \) for the test conducted in part (a) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 6.\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

a)do not reject null hypothesis

b)\(\beta (6) = 0.095\)

Step by step solution

01

find the value of the test statistic

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\bar x = 65.6;}&{m = 32}\\{\bar y = 59.8;}&{n = 38.}\end{array}\)

Both toughness distribution are normal.

a)

\({\sigma _1} = 1.2\)for the first sample and \({\sigma _2} = 1.1. \)for the second sample.

When there is a null hypothesis.

\({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta _0}\)

The test statistic value is based on the assumption of two normal population distributions with known \({\sigma _1}\) and \({\sigma _2}\) values, as well as two independent random samples.

\(z = \frac{{(\bar x - \bar y) - {\Delta _0}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} }}\)

The P value for the acceptable alternative hypothesis is derived as the sufficient area under the standard normal curve.

The hypothesis of interest are \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 5\) versus \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 5\)

The value of the test statistic is

\(z = \frac{{65.6 - 59.8 - 5}}{{\sqrt {1.{2^2}/32 + 1.{1^2}/38} }} = 2.89\)

The area under the standard normal curve to the right of \(z\) can be used to get the \(P\) value. The \(P\) value can be calculated using the table in the appendix or software.

\(P = P(Z > 2.89) = 1 - P(Z \le 2.89) = 1 - 0.9981 = 0.0019.\)

Since

\(P = 0.0019 > 0.001 = \alpha \)

The null hypothesis should not be reject

At level \(0.001\).

02

Compute \(\beta \)

b)

The type II error \(\beta \) for \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta ^'}\) vary depending on the alternative hypothesis. \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 5\) and \({\Delta ^'} = 1\) is the alternative hypothesis, in which case the type II error is.

\(\beta \left( {{\Delta ^'}} \right) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\)

Where

The type II error \(\beta \) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 6\) is

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta (6) = \Phi \left( {3.09 - \frac{{6 - 5}}{{\sqrt {1.{2^2}/32 + 1.{1^2}/38} }}} \right)\\ = \Phi \left( {3.09 - \frac{1}{{0.2272}}} \right)\\ = \Phi ( - 1.311) = 0.095.\end{array}\)

The table in the appendix was used to determine values of \(\Phi \) and \({z_\alpha } = {z_{0.001}} = 3.09.\)

03

conclusion

a)do not reject null hypothesis

b)\(\beta (6) = 0.095\)

The level of lead in the blood was determined for a sample of \(152\) male hazardous-waste workers ages \(20 - 30\) and also for a sample of \(86\) female workers, resulting in a mean \(6\) standard error of \(5.5 \pm 0.3\)for the men and \(3.8 \pm 0.2\) for the women (鈥淭emporal Changes in Blood Lead Levels of Hazardous Waste Workers in New Jersey, 1984鈥1987,鈥 Environ. Monitoring and Assessment, 1993: 99鈥107). Calculate an estimate of the difference between true average blood lead levels for male and female workers in a way that provides information about reliability and precision.

Pilates is a popular set of exercises for the treatment of individuals with lower back pain. The method has six basic principles: centering, concentration, control, precision, flow, and breathing. The article 鈥淓fficacy of the Addition of Modified Pilates Exercises to a Minimal Intervention in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial鈥 (Physical Therapy, \(2013:309 - 321\)) reported on an experiment involving \(86\) subjects with nonspecific low back pain. The participants were randomly divided into two groups of equal size. The first group received just educational materials, whereas the second group participated in \(6\) weeks of Pilates exercises. The sample mean level of pain (on a scale from \(0\) to \(10\)) for the control group at a \(6\)-week follow-up was \(5.2\) and the sample mean for the treatment group was \(3.1\); both sample standard deviations were \(2.3\).

a. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition? Carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\) (the cited article reported statistical significance at this a, and a sample mean difference of \(2.1\) also suggests practical significance)

b. Does it appear that true average pain level for the control condition exceeds that for the treatment condition by more than \(1\)? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses

As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. The article "Age and Gender Differences in Single-Step Recovery from a Forward Fall" (J. of Gerontology, \(1999: M44 - M50\)) reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle-the farthest a subject is able to lean and still recover in one step-was determined for both a sample of younger females (\(21 - 29\)years) and a sample of older females (\(67 - 81\)years). The following observations are consistent with summary data given in the article:

YF:\(29,34,33,27,28,32,31,34,32,27\)

OF:\(18,15,23,13,12\)

Does the data suggest that true average maximum lean angle for older females is more than\(10\)degrees smaller than it is for younger females? State and test the relevant hypotheses at significance level . \(10\).

Toxaphene is an insecticide that has been identified as a pollutant in the Great Lakes ecosystem. To investigate the effect of toxaphene exposure on animals, groups of rats were given toxaphene in their diet. The article "Reproduction Study of Toxaphene in the Rat" ( J. of Environ. Sci. Health, 1988: 101-126) reports weight gains (in grams) for rats given a low dose (4 ppm) and for control rats whose diet did not include the insecticide. The sample standard deviation for 23 female control rats was \(32\;g\) and for 20 female low-dose rats was\(54\;g\). Does this data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains? Assuming normality, carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level .05.

the article 鈥樷檈valuation of a ventilation strategy to prevent barotrauma in patients at high risk for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome鈥 (New Engl. J. of Med., \(1998:355 - 358)\) reported on an experiment in which \(120\) patients with similar clinical features were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each consisting of \(60\) patients. The sample mean ICU stay (days) and sample standard deviation for the treatment group were \(19.9\) and\(39.1\), respectively, whereas these values for the control group were \(13.7\) and \(15.8\).

a) Calculate a point estimate for the difference between true average ICU stay for the treatment and control groups. Does this estimate suggest that there is a significant difference between true average stays under the two conditions?

b) Answer the question posed in part (a) by carrying out a formal test of hypotheses. Is the result different from what you conjectured in part (a)?

c)Does it appear that ICU stay for patients given the ventilation treatment is normally distributed? Explain your reasoning9. The article 鈥淓valuation of a Ventilation Strategy to Prevent Barotrauma in Patients at High Risk for

d)Estimate true average length of stay for patients given the ventilation treatment in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability
