Short Answer

Expert verified

a)\(P = 7.78\% \)

b) \(P = 18.41\% \)

c) \(P = 2.50\% \)

d) \(P = 0.66\% \)

e) \(P = 54.38\% \)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Null hypothesis.

The null hypothesis, denoted by H0, is the claim that is initially assumed to be true (the 鈥減rior belief鈥 claim). The alternative hypothesis, denoted by Ha, is the assertion that is contradictory to H0.

The null hypothesis will be rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis only if sample evidence suggests that H0 is false. If the sample does not strongly contradict H0, we will continue to believe in the plausibility of the null hypothesis. The two possible conclusions from a hypothesis-testing analysis are then reject H0 or fail to reject H0.

Step 2:Solution for part a).

Given that,

\({H_0}:\mu = 5\)

\({H_a}:\mu > 5\)

\(z = 1.42\)

Complement rule:

\(P(\overline A ) = 1 - P(A)\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic z.

Since the alternative hypothesis states , \({H_a}:\mu > 5\), the P-value is the probability to the right of the z-score.

Determine the probability using normal probability table in the appendix, which contain the probability to the left of z-scores(use the complement rule),

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > 1.42)\\ = 1 - P(Z < 1.42)\\ = 1 - 0.9222\\ = 0.0778\end{array}\)

\(P = 7.78\% \)

03

Step 3:Solution for part b).

Given that,

\({H_0}:\mu = 5\)

\({H_a}:\mu > 5\)

\(z = 0.90\)

Complement rule:

\(P(\overline A ) = 1 - P(A)\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic z.

Since the alternative hypothesis states , \({H_a}:\mu > 5\), the P-value is the probability to the right of the z-score.

Determine the probability using normal probability table in the appendix, which contain the probability to the left of z-scores(use the complement rule),

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > 0.90)\\ = 1 - P(Z < 0.90)\\ = 1 - 0.8159\\ = 0.1841\end{array}\)

\(P = 18.41\% \)

04

Step 4:Solution for part c).

Given that,

\({H_0}:\mu = 5\)

\({H_a}:\mu > 5\)

\(z = 1.96\)

Complement rule:

\(P(\overline A ) = 1 - P(A)\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic z.

Since the alternative hypothesis states , \({H_a}:\mu > 5\), the P-value is the probability to the right of the z-score.

Determine the probability using normal probability table in the appendix, which contain the probability to the left of z-scores(use the complement rule),

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > 1.96)\\ = 1 - P(Z < 1.96)\\ = 1 - 0.9750\\ = 0.0250\end{array}\)

\(P = 2.50\% \)

05

Step 5:Solution for part d).

Given that,

\({H_0}:\mu = 5\)

\({H_a}:\mu > 5\)

\(z = 2.48\)

Complement rule:

\(P(\overline A ) = 1 - P(A)\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic z.

Since the alternative hypothesis states , \({H_a}:\mu > 5\), the P-value is the probability to the right of the z-score.

Determine the probability using normal probability table in the appendix, which contain the probability to the left of z-scores(use the complement rule),

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > 2.48)\\ = 1 - P(Z < 2.48)\\ = 1 - 0.9934\\ = 0.0066\end{array}\)

\(P = 0.66\% \)

06

Step 6:Solution for part e).

Given that,

\({H_0}:\mu = 5\)

\({H_a}:\mu > 5\)

\(z = - 0.11\)

Complement rule:

\(P(\overline A ) = 1 - P(A)\)

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic z.

Since the alternative hypothesis states , \({H_a}:\mu > 5\), the P-value is the probability to the right of the z-score.

Determine the probability using normal probability table in the appendix, which contain the probability to the left of z-scores(use the complement rule),

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > - 0.11)\\ = 1 - P(Z < - 0.11)\\ = 1 - 0.4562\\ = 0.5438\end{array}\)

\(P = 54.38\% \)

The true average diameter of ball bearings of a certain type is supposed to be .5 in. A one-sample t test will be carried out to see whether this is the case. What conclusion is appropriate in each of the following situations?

a.n= 13, t= 1.6, 伪= .05

b.n= 13, t= -1.6, 伪 =.05

c.n= 25, t= -2.6, 伪 =.01

d.n= 25, t= -3.9

Have you ever been frustrated because you could not get a container of some sort to release the last bit of its contents? The article 鈥淪hake, Rattle, and Squeeze: How Much Is Left in That Container?鈥 (Consumer Reports, May 2009: 8) reported on an investigation of this issue for various consumer products. Suppose five \(6.0oz\) tubes of toothpaste of a particular brand are randomly selected and squeezed until no more toothpaste will come out. Then each tube is cut open and the amount remaining is weighed, resulting in the following data (consistent with what the cited article reported):

\(.53,.65,.46,.50,.37.\)

Does it appear that the true average amount left is less than \(10\% \) of the advertised net contents?

a. Check the validity of any assumptions necessary for testing the appropriate hypotheses.

b. Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of \(.05\). Would your conclusion change if a significance level of \(.01\) had been used?

c. Describe in context type I and II errors, and say which error might have been made in reaching a conclusion.

A regular type of laminate is currently being used by a manufacturer of circuit boards. A special laminate has been developed to reduce warpage. The regular laminate will be used on one sample of specimens and the special

laminate on another sample, and the amount of warpage will then be determined for each specimen. The manufacturer will then switch to the special laminate only if it can be demonstrated that the true average amount of warpage for that laminate is less than for the regular laminate. State the relevant hypotheses, and describe the type I and type II errors in the context of this situation.

In Problems \(11 - 14\) verify that the indicated function is an explicit solution of the given differential equation. Assume an appropriate interval I of definition for each solution.

\(y'' + y = tanx; y = - (cosx) ln(secx + tanx)\).

A common characterization of obese individuals is that their body mass index is at least \(30\) (BMI 5 weighty(height)2, where height is in meters and weight is in kilograms). The article 鈥淭he Impact of Obesity on Illness Absence and Productivity in an Industrial Population of Petrochemical Workers鈥 (Annals of Epidemiology, 2008: 8鈥14) reported that in a sample of female workers, \(262\) had BMIs of less than \(25,159\) had BMIs that were at least \(25\) but less than \(30\), and \(120\) had BMIs exceeding \(30\). Is there compelling evidence for concluding that more than \(20\% \) of the individuals in the sampled population are obese? a. State and test appropriate hypotheses with a significance level of \(.05\). b. Explain in the context of this scenario what constitutes type I and II errors. c. What is the probability of not concluding that more than \(20\% \) of the population is obese when the actual percentage of obese individuals is \(25\% \)?
