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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Assumptions are met.

(b) The true average amount left is less than\(10\% \)of\(0.6oz\), that corresponds with\(0.6oz\) is supported by appropriate evidence at significance level\(0.05\). The true average amount left is less than\(10\% \)of\(0.6oz\), that corresponds with\(0.6oz\) is not supported by appropriate evidence at significance level\(0.01\).

(c) The context for type I and type II is: The true average quantity remaining is at least \(10\% \) of the reported net contents, which is incorrect.

Step by step solution

01

Define p-value in hypothesis testing.

The null hypothesis states that the population mean is equal to the value mentioned in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\mu = 0\\{H_a}:\mu \ne 0\end{array}\)

The formula for the value of the test statistic is given by, \(t = \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\).

02

Assumption for test the appropriate hypothesis.

(a)

NORMAL PROBABILITY PLOT:

The horizontal axis shows the data values, while the vertical axis shows the standardised normal scores.

The standardised normal scores are the z-scores in the normal probability table in the appendix corresponding to an area of \(\frac{{j - 0.5}}{n}\) (or the closest area) with \(j \in \{ 1,2,3,...,n\} \) if the data comprises n data values. The least standardised score correlates to the smallest data value, and so on.

The population distribution is essentially normal if the pattern in the normal probability plot is roughly linear and does not contain strong curvature.

The population distribution is about normal, and known that the conditions for testing the necessary hypotheses are met because the normal probability plot does not have severe curvature and is essentially linear.

03

Test the appropriate hypothesis.

(b)

The mean is the ration of sum of all values and the total number of values.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar x &= \frac{{0.53 + 0.65 + 0.46 + 0.50 + 0.37}}{5}\\ &= \frac{{2.51}}{5}\\ &\approx 0.502\end{aligned}\)

The square of the variance is the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s &= \sqrt {\frac{{{{(0.53 - 0.502)}^2} + \ldots . + {{(0.37 - 0.502)}^2}}}{{5 - 1}}} \\ &\approx 0.1023\end{aligned}\)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 5\\\alpha = 0.05/0.01\end{array}\)

Claim that the true average amount left is less than\(10\% \)of\(0.6oz\), that corresponds with\(0.6oz\).

The value of the test statistic:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}t &= \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\\ &= \frac{{0.502 - 0.6}}{{0.1023/\sqrt 5 }}\\ &\approx - 2.142\end{aligned}\)

The P-value is the chance of getting the test statistic's result, or a number that is more severe. The P-value is the number (or interval) in the column header of the T table in the appendix that contains the t-value in the row\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 5 - 1\\ = 4\end{array}\)for the student.

\(0.025 < P < 0.05\)

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

\(\begin{array}{l}P < 0.05 \Rightarrow Reject {H_0}\\P > 0.01 \Rightarrow Fail to Reject {H_0}\end{array}\)

The true average amount left is less than \(10\% \) of \(0.6oz\), that corresponds with \(0.6oz\) is supported by appropriate evidence at significance level \(0.05\). The true average amount left is less than \(10\% \) of \(0.6oz\), that corresponds with \(0.6oz\) is not supported by appropriate evidence at significance level \(0.01\).

04

Describe the Type I and Type II error.

(c)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 5\\\alpha = 0.05/0.01\end{array}\)

Claim that the true average amount left is less than\(10\% \)of\(0.6oz\), that corresponds with\(0.6oz\).

The null hypothesis states that the population mean is equal to the value mentioned in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\mu = 0.6\\{H_a}:\mu < 0.6\end{array}\)

Type I error: When\({H_0}\)is true, reject the null hypothesis\({H_0}\).

Interpretation: The true average amount remaining is less than\(10\% \)of the advertised net contents, which is incorrect.

Type Il error: When\({H_0}\)is false, fail to reject the null hypothesis\({H_0}\).

Interpretation: The true average quantity remaining is at least \(10\% \) of the reported net contents, which is incorrect.

In Problems \(15 - 18\) verify that the indicated function \(y = \phi (x)\) is an explicit solution of the given first-order differential equation. Proceed as in Example \(6\), by considering \(\phi \) simply as a function and give its domain. Then by considering \(\phi \) as a solution of the differential equation, give at least one interval \(I\) of definition.

\(y' = 2x{y^2};y = 1/(4 - {x^2})\)

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.)

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?

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

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.

In Problems \(1 - 8\) state the order of the given ordinary differential equation. Determine whether the equation is linear or nonlinear by matching it with \((6)\).
