An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in \(\bar x = 18.12kgf/c{m^2}\)for the modified mortar \((m = 40)\) and \(\bar y = 16.87kgf/c{m^2}\) for the unmodified mortar \((n = 32)\). Let \({\mu _1}\) and \({\mu _2}\) be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions are both normal.

a. Assuming that \({\sigma _1} = 1.6\) and \({\sigma _2} = 1.4\), test \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 0\) versus \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 0\) at level . \(01.\)

b. Compute the probability of a type II error for the test of part (a) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 1\).

c. Suppose the investigator decided to use a level \(.05\) test and wished \(\beta = .10\) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 1. \). If \(m = 40\), what value of n is necessary?

d. How would the analysis and conclusion of part (a) change if \({\sigma _1}\) and \({\sigma _2}\) were unknown but \({s_1} = 1.6\)and \({s_7} = 1.4?\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

a.Reject null hypothesis

\(\begin{array}{l}b. \beta (1) = 0.3085;\\c. n = 38; \end{array}\)

d. could not use the same test

Step by step solution

01

calculate p value

given

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\bar x = 18.12kgf/c{m^2};}&{m = 40}\\{\bar y = 16.87kgf/c{m^2};}&{n = 32}\end{array}\)

Assume that the bond strength distributions are normal.

a)

the null hypothesis is

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

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 is used to determine the sufficient area under the standard normal curve for the adequate alternative hypothesis.

The standard deviations' values are known.

\(\begin{array}{l}{\sigma _1} = 1.6\\{\sigma _2} = 1.4\end{array}\)

The \({\Delta _0} = 0\) and the alternative hypothesis is \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 0\). The value of the test statistic is

\(z = \frac{{18.12 - 16.87}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{1.{6^2}}}{{40}} + \frac{{1.{4^2}}}{{32}}} }} = 3.53\)

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

\(P = P(Z > 3.53) = 1 - P(Z \le 3.53) = 1 - 0.9998 = 0.0002\)

Since

\(P = 0.0002 < 0.01 = \alpha \)

The null hypothesis should be reject.

02

compute probability of type II error

depending on alternative hypothesis the type II error\(\beta \)when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = \Delta '\)

differs. The alternative hypothesis is \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 0\) and \(\Delta ' = 1\), in this case the type II error is

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

Where

\(\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} \)

The significance level is \(\alpha = 0.01,{z_\alpha } = {z_{0.01}} = 2.33, \)

\(\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{1.{6^2}}}{{40}} + \frac{{1.{4^2}}}{{32}}} = 0.3539.\)

Finally, the type II error when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 1\) is

\(\beta (1) = \Phi \left( {2.33 - \frac{{1 - 0}}{{0.3539}}} \right) = \Phi ( - 0.4) = 0.3085\)

03

use the table in the appendix

similarly as in (b), from

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

For \(\Delta ' = 1,\beta (1) = 0.1{z_\alpha } = {z_{0.05}} = 1.645.\)using the fact

\(\Phi (1.28) = 0.1\)

Which was obtained from the table in the appendix in the book, the following holds

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta \left( {\Delta '} \right) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{\Delta ' - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\\0.1 = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{\Delta ' - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right) and 0.1 = \Phi (1.28)\\\Phi (1.28) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{\Delta ' - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\end{array}\)

Because \(\Phi \)is cdf of standard normal distribution, the following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}{z_\alpha } - \frac{{\Delta ' - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma } = 1.28\\2.33 - \frac{{1 - 0}}{\sigma } = 1.28\\{\sigma ^2} = \frac{1}{{{{(1.645 + 1.28)}^2}}}\end{array}\)

Remember that

\(\begin{array}{l}\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} \\{\sigma ^2} = \frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n} = \frac{{1.{6^2}}}{{40}} + \frac{{1.{4^2}}}{n}\end{array}\)

04

conclusion of part (a)

by substituting this, the following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{1.{6^2}}}{{40}} + \frac{{1.{4^2}}}{n} = \frac{1}{{{{(1.645 + 1.28)}^2}}}\\\frac{{1.{6^2}}}{{40}} + \frac{{1.{4^2}}}{n} = 0.1169\\\frac{{1.96}}{n} = 0.0529\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 37.06\\{\rm{n = 38}}\end{array}\)

d)

The sample size \(n = 32\) is insufficient for the large sample test to be used. This question is a "bait" to get you to say:

When there is a null hypothesis.

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

The test statistic value

\(z = \frac{{(\bar x - \bar y) - {\Delta _0}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{m} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{n}} }}.\)

The \(P\) value is derived for the acceptable alternative hypothesis by calculating the adequate area under the standard normal curve. When both \(m > 40 and n > 40\) are true, this test can be applied.

However, because \(n\) is insufficient, the \(t\) test from section \(9.2\) should be applied.

05

conclusion

  1. Reject null hypothesis

\(\begin{array}{l}b. \beta (1) = 0.3085;\\c. n = 38; \end{array}\)

d. could not use the same test

Reliance on solid biomass fuel for cooking and heating exposes many children from developing countries to high levels of indoor air pollution. The article 鈥淒omestic Fuels, Indoor Air Pollution, and Children鈥檚 Health鈥 (Annals of the N.Y. Academy of Sciences, \(2008:209 - 217\)) presented information on various pulmonary characteristics in samples of children whose households in India used either biomass fuel or liquefied petroleum gas (\(LPG\)). For the \(755\) children in biomass households, the sample mean peak expiratory flow (a person鈥檚 maximum speed of expiration) was \(3.30L/s\), and the sample standard deviation was \(1.20\). For the \(750\) children whose households used liquefied petroleum gas, the sample mean \(PEF\) was \(4.25\) and the sample standard deviation was \(1.75\).

a. Calculate a confidence interval at the \(95\% \) confidence level for the population mean \(PEF\) for children in biomass households and then do likewise for children in \(LPG\) households. What is the simultaneous confidence level for the two intervals?

b. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level \(.01\) to decide whether true average \(PEF\) is lower for children in biomass households than it is for children in \(LPG\) households (the cited article included a P-value for this test)

c. \(FE{V_1}\), the forced expiratory volume in \(1\) second, is another measure of pulmonary function. The cited article reported that for the biomass households the sample mean FEV1 was \(2.3L/s\) and the sample standard deviation was \(.5L/s\). If this information is used to compute a \(95\% \) \(CI\) for population mean \(FE{V_1}\), would the simultaneous confidence level for this interval and the first interval calculated in (a) be the same as the simultaneous confidence level determined there? Explain

The accompanying summary data on total cholesterol level (mmol/l) was obtained from a sample of Asian postmenopausal women who were vegans and another sample of such women who were omnivores (鈥淰egetarianism, Bone Loss, and Vitamin D: A Longitudinal Study in Asian Vegans and Non-Vegans,鈥 European J. of Clinical Nutr., 2012: 75鈥82)

Diet sample sample sample

Size mean SD

\(\overline {\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ Vegan }&{88}&{5.10}&{1.07}\\{ Omnivore }&{93}&{5.55}&{1.10}\\{}&{}&{}&{}\end{array}} } \)

Calculate and interpret a \(99\% \) \(CI\) for the difference between population mean total cholesterol level for vegans and population mean total cholesterol level for omnivores (the cited article included a \(95\% \)\(CI\)). (Note: The article described a more sophisticated statistical analysis for investigating bone density loss taking into account other characteristics (鈥渃ovariates鈥) such as age, body weight, and various nutritional factors; the resulting CI included 0, suggesting no diet effect.

The degenerative disease osteoarthritis most frequently affects weight-bearing joints such as the knee. The article "Evidence of Mechanical Load Redistribution at the Knee Joint in the Elderly When Ascending Stairs and Ramps" (Annals of Biomed. Engr., \(2008: 467 - 476\)) presented the following summary data on stance duration (ms) for samples of both older and younger adults.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{Age\;\;\;\;\;\;\;Sample Size\;\;Sample Mean\;\;Sample SD}\\{\;Older\;\;\;\;\;28\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;801\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;117}\\{Younger\;16\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;780\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;72}\end{array}\)

Assume that both stance duration distributions are normal.

a. Calculate and interpret a\(99\% \)CI for true average stance duration among elderly individuals.

b. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level\(.05\)to decide whether true average stance duration is larger among elderly individuals than among younger individuals.

Return to the data on maximum lean angle given in Exercise 28 of this chapter. Carry out a test at significance level .10 to see whether the population standard deviations for the two age groups are different (normal probability plots support the necessary normality assumption).

Is there any systematic tendency for part-time college faculty to hold their students to different standards than do full-time faculty? The article 鈥淎re There Instructional Differences Between Full-Time and Part-Time Faculty?鈥 (College Teaching, \(2009: 23 - 26)\) reported that for a sample of \(125 \) courses taught by fulltime faculty, the mean course \(GPA\) was \(2.7186\) and the standard deviation was \(.63342\), whereas for a sample of \(88\) courses taught by part-timers, the mean and standard deviation were \(2.8639\) and \(.49241,\) respectively. Does it appear that true average course \(GPA\) for part-time faculty differs from that for faculty teaching full-time? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level \( .01\).
