The paint used to make lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Let \(\mu \) denote the true average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration. A test of \({H_0}:\mu = 20\) versus \({H_n}:\mu > 20\) will be based on a random sample of size n from a normal population distribution. What conclusion is appropriate in each of the following situations?

\(\begin{array}{l}a.n = 15,t = 3.2,\alpha = .05\\b.n = 9,t = 1.8,\alpha = .01\\c.n = 24,t = - 2\end{array}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than \(20\) is supported by appropriate evidence.

(b) The average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than\(20\)is not supported by appropriate evidence.

(c) The average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than \(20\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

Step by step solution

01

Define p-value in hypothesis testing.

In hypothesis testing, a \(p - \)value is used to assist you support or reject the null hypothesis. The \(p - \)value is proof that a null hypothesis is false. The smaller the p-value, the more evidence there is that the null hypothesis should be rejected.

  • The null hypothesis is rejected if the\(p - \)value is less than\(0.05\). This is substantial evidence against the null hypothesis.
  • A large \(p( > 0.05)\) indicates that the alternative hypothesis is weak, hence the null hypothesis is not rejected.
02

Determine the conclusion for the given situation.

(a)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{c}n = 15\\t = 3.2\\\alpha = 0.05\\{H_0}:\mu = 20\\{H_a}:\mu > 20\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 15 - 1\\ = 14\end{array}\)

The P-value is the chance of getting the test statistic's result, or a number that is more severe. The t-value in the row\(df = 14\)is the P-value, which is the number (or interval) in the column title of the student鈥檚 T table in the appendix:

\(0.001 < P < 0.005\)

Since the P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P < 0.05 \Rightarrow {\rm{Reject }}{H_0}\)

The allegation that the genuine average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than\(20\)is supported by appropriate evidence.

(b)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{c}n = 9\\t = 1.8\\\alpha = 0.01\\{H_0}:\mu = 20\\{H_a}:\mu > 20\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 9 - 1\\ = 8\end{array}\)

The P-value is the chance of getting the test statistic's result, or a number that is more severe. The t-value in the row\(df = 8\)is the P-value, which is the number (or interval) in the column title of the student鈥檚 T table in the appendix:

\(0.05 < P < 0.10\)

Since the P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P > 0.01 \Rightarrow Not Reject {H_0}\)

The allegation that the genuine average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than\(20\)is not supported by appropriate evidence.

(c)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{c}n = 24\\t = - 0.2\\{H_a}:\mu > 20\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 24 - 1\\ = 23\end{array}\)

Assume:\(\alpha = 0.01\)

The P-value is the chance of getting the test statistic's result, or a number that is more severe. The t-value in the row\(df = 23\)is the P-value, which is the number (or interval) in the column title of the student鈥檚 T table in the appendix:

\(P > 0.10\)

Since the P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P > 0.01 \Rightarrow Not Reject {H_0}\)

The allegation that the genuine average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration is less than \(20\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

In Problems \(31 - 34\) find values of m so that the function \(y = m{e^{mx}}\) is a solution of the given differential equation.

\(y' + 2y = 0\)

Verify that the piecewise-defined function \(y = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{ - {x^2},}&{x < 0}\\{{x^2},}&{x \ge 0}\end{array}} \right.\) is a solution of the differential equation \(xy' - 2y = 0\) on \(( - \infty ,\infty )\).

The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO颅2 in a sample is normally distributed with

蟽 =3 and that \(\overline x = 5.25\).

a.Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?

b.If the true average percentage is 碌 = 5.6 and a level 伪 = .01 test based on n=16 is used, what is the probability of detecting this departure from H0?

c.What value of n is required to satisfy 伪 = .01 and 尾( 5.6)= .01?

With domestic sources of building supplies running low several years ago, roughly 60,000 homes were built with imported Chinese drywall. According to the article 鈥淩eport Links Chinese Drywall to Home Problems鈥 (New York Times, Nov. 24, 2009), federal investigators identified a strong association between chemicals in the drywall and electrical problems, and there is also strong evidence of respiratory difficulties due to the emission of hydrogen sulphide gas. An extensive examination of \(51\) homes found that \(41\) had such problems. Suppose these \(51\) were randomly sampled from the population of all homes having Chinese drywall.

a. Does the data provide strong evidence for concluding that more than \(50\% \) of all homes with Chinese drywall have electrical/environmental problems? Carry out a test of hypotheses using \(\alpha = .10\).

b. Calculate a lower confidence bound using a confidence level of \(99\% \) for the percentage of all such homes that have electrical/environmental problems.

c. If it is actually the case that \(80\% \) of all such homes have problems, how likely is it that the test of (a) would not conclude that more than \(50\% \) do?

The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. The article 鈥淣utrient Intakes and Dietary Patterns of Older Americans: A National Study鈥 (J. of Gerontology, 1992: M145鈥150) reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65鈥74 years: n = 115, \(\overline x = 11.3\), and s = 6.43. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males ages 65鈥74 falls below the recommended allowance?
