Unlike most packaged food products, alcohol beverage container labels are not required to show calorie or nutrient content. The article 鈥淲hat Am I Drinking? The Effects of Serving Facts Information on Alcohol Beverage Containers鈥 (J. of Consumer Affairs, 2008: 81鈥99) reported on a pilot study in which each of 58 individuals in a sample was asked to estimate the calorie content of a 12-oz can of beer known to contain 153 calories. The resulting sample mean estimated calorie level was 191 and the sample standard deviation was 89. Does this data suggest that the true average estimated calorie content in the population sampled exceeds the actual content? Test the appropriate hypotheses at significance level .001.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true average estimated calorie content in the population sampled exceed the actual content.

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.

02

To find the z-value.

Given claim: Average exceed the actual content of \(153\) calories.

The null hypothesis states that the population mean is equal to the value mentioned in the claim:

\({H_0}:\mu = 153\)

The alternative hypothesis states the claim:

\({H_a}:\mu > 153\)

The sampling distribution of the sample mean \(\overline x \) has mean \(\mu \)and standard deviation \(\frac{\sigma }{{\sqrt n }}\).

The z-core is the value decreased by the mean, divided by the standard deviation:

\(z = \frac{{\overline x - \mu }}{{\sigma /\sqrt n }}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}z = \frac{{191 - 153}}{{89/\sqrt {58} }}\\z \approx 3.25\end{array}\)

03

Hypothesis is reject or not.

The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value more extreme or equal to the standard deviation test statistic z, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. Determine the probability table in the appendix.

\(\begin{array}{l}P = P(Z > 3.25)\\ = 1 - p(z < 3.25)\\ = 1 - 0.9994\\ = 0.0006\end{array}\]

The \(P\]-value is smaller than the significance level \(\alpha \],then the null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P < 0.001\]\( \Rightarrow \]Reject \({H_0}\]

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true average estimated calorie content in the population sampled exceed the actual content.

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.

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

Let 碌 denote the true average radioactivity level (picocuries per liter). The value 5 pCi/L is considered the dividing line between safe and unsafe water. Would you recommend testing H0: 碌= 5 versus Ha: 碌> 5 or H0: 碌= 5 versus Ha: 碌 < 5? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: Think about the consequences of a type I and type II error for each possibility.)

Many older homes have electrical systems that use fuses rather than circuit breakers. A manufacturer of 40-amp fuses wants to make sure that the mean amperage at which its fuses burn out is in fact 40. If the mean amperage is lower than 40, customers will complain because the fuses require replacement too often. If the mean amperage is higher than 40, the manufacturer might be liable for damage to an electrical system due to fuse malfunction. To verify the amperage of the fuses, a sample of fuses is to be selected and inspected. If a hypothesis test were to be performed on the resulting data, what null and alternative hypotheses would be of interest to the manufacturer? Describe type I and type II errors in the context of this problem situation.

A spectrophotometer used for measuring CO concentration (ppm (parts per million) by volume) is checked for accuracy by taking readings on a manufactured gas (called span gas) in which the CO concentration is very precisely controlled at \(70ppm\). If the readings suggest that the spectrophotometer is not working properly, it will have to be recalibrated. Assume that if it is properly calibrated, measured concentration for span gas samples is normally distributed. On the basis of the six readings \(85,{\rm{ }}77,{\rm{ }}82,{\rm{ }}68,{\rm{ }}72,\) and \(69\) is recalibration necessary? Carry out a test of the relevant hypotheses using a \(\alpha = .05\).

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?
