Short Answer

Expert verified

a)\(P = 3.58\% \)

b) \(P = 8.02\% \)

c) \(P = 58.24\% \)

d) \(P = 15.86\% \)

e) \(P \approx 0\)

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,

\(z = 2.10\)

Given claim: \(\mu \) differs from the target value of \(30psi\)

The null hypothesis states that the population mean \(\mu \) is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 30psi\)

The alternative hypothesis states the given claim:

\({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\)

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 , \({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\), the P-value is the probability to the left of the negative absolute value of the z-score and to the right of the positive absolute value of the z-score.

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z < - 2.10orZ > 2.10)\\ = 2P(Z < - 2.10)\\ = 2(0.0179)\\ = 0.0358\end{array}\)

\(P = 3.58\% \)

03

Step 3:Solution for part b).

Given that,

\(z = - 1.75\)

Given claim: \(\mu \) differs from the target value of \(30psi\)

The null hypothesis states that the population mean \(\mu \) is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 30psi\)

The alternative hypothesis states the given claim:

\({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\)

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 , \({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\), the P-value is the probability to the left of the negative absolute value of the z-score and to the right of the positive absolute value of the z-score.

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z < - 1.75orZ > 1.75)\\ = 2P(Z < - 1.75)\\ = 2(0.0401)\\ = 0.0802\end{array}\)

\(P = 8.02\% \)

04

Step 4:Solution for part c).

Given that,

\(z = - 0.55\)

Given claim: \(\mu \) differs from the target value of \(30psi\)

The null hypothesis states that the population mean \(\mu \) is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 30psi\)

The alternative hypothesis states the given claim:

\({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\)

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 , \({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\), the P-value is the probability to the left of the negative absolute value of the z-score and to the right of the positive absolute value of the z-score.

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z < - 0.55orZ > 0.55)\\ = 2P(Z < - 0.55)\\ = 2(0.2912)\\ = 0.5824\end{array}\)

\(P = 58.24\% \)

05

Step 5:Solution for part d).

Given that,

\(z = 1.41\)

Given claim: \(\mu \) differs from the target value of \(30psi\)

The null hypothesis states that the population mean \(\mu \) is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 30psi\)

The alternative hypothesis states the given claim:

\({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\)

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 , \({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\), the P-value is the probability to the left of the negative absolute value of the z-score and to the right of the positive absolute value of the z-score.

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z < - 1.41orZ > 1.41)\\ = 2P(Z < - 1.41)\\ = 2(0.0793)\\ = 0.1586\end{array}\)

\(P = 15.86\% \)

06

Step 6:Solution for part e).

Given that,

\(z = - 5.30\)

Given claim: \(\mu \) differs from the target value of \(30psi\)

The null hypothesis states that the population mean \(\mu \) is equal to the value mentioned in the given claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 30psi\)

The alternative hypothesis states the given claim:

\({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\)

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 , \({H_a}:\mu \ne 30psi\), the P-value is the probability to the left of the negative absolute value of the z-score and to the right of the positive absolute value of the z-score.

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z < - 5.30orZ > 5.30)\\ = 2P(Z < - 5.30)\\ \approx 2(0)\\P \approx 0\end{array}\)

\(P \approx 0\)

A plan for an executive travelers鈥 club has been developed by an airline on the premise that \(5\% \) of its current customers would qualify for membership. A random sample of \(500\) customers yielded \(40\) who would qualify.

a. Using this data, test at level \(.01\) the null hypothesis that the company鈥檚 premise is correct against the alternative that it is not correct.

b. What is the probability that when the test of part (a) is used, the company鈥檚 premise will be judged correct when in fact \(10\% \) of all current customers qualify?

Answer the following questions for the tire problem in Example 8.7.

c.If a level .01 test is used and it is also required that 尾(30,500) = .05, what sample size n is necessary?

d.If \(\overline x = 30,960\), what is the smallest 伪 at which H0 can be rejected (based on n = 16)?

A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design.

a.Define the parameter of interest and state the relevant hypotheses.

b.Suppose braking distance for the new system is normally distributed with 蟽= 10. Let \(\overline X \) denote the sample average braking distance for a random sample of 36 observations. Which values of \(\overline x \) are more contradictory to H0 than 117.2, what is the P-value in this case, and what conclusion is appropriate if 伪 = .10?

c.What is the probability that the new design is not implemented when its true average braking distance is actually 115 ft and the test from part (b) is used?
