Reconsider the accompanying sample data on expense ratio (%) for large-cap growth mutual funds first introduced in Exercise 1.53.

\(\begin{array}{l}0.52 1.06 1.26 2.17 1.55 0.99 1.10 1.07 1.81 2.05\\0.91 0.79 1.39 0.62 1.52 1.02 1.10 1.78 1.01 1.15\end{array}\)

A normal probability plot shows a reasonably linear pattern.

a. Is there compelling evidence for concluding that the population mean expense ratio exceeds \(1\% \)? Carry out a test of the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\).

b. Referring back to (a), describe in context type I and II errors and say which error you might have made in reaching your conclusion. The source from which the data was obtained reported that \(\mu = 1.33\) for the population of all \(762\) such funds. So, did you actually commit an error in reaching your conclusion?

c. Supposing that \(\sigma = .5\), determine and interpret the power of the test in (a) for the actual value of m stated in (b).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The population mean expense ratio exceeds\(1\% \)is not supported by appropriate evidence.

(b) The type II error was made.

(c) The post of the test is \(POWER = 73.24\% \).

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

Test the appropriate hypothesis.

(a)

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

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar x &= \frac{{0.52 + 1.06 + 1.26 + ... + 1.78 + 1.01 + 1.15}}{{20}}\\ &= \frac{{24.87}}{{20}}\\ &\approx 1.2435\end{aligned}\)

The square of the variance is the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s &= \sqrt {\frac{{{{(0.52 - 1.2435)}^2} + \ldots . + {{(1.15 - 1.2435)}^2}}}{{20 - 1}}} \\ &\approx 0.4485\end{aligned}\)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 20\\\alpha = 0.01\end{array}\)

Claim that the population mean expense ratio exceeds\(1\% \).

The value of the test statistic:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}t &= \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\\ &= \frac{{1.2435 - 1}}{{0.4485/\sqrt {20} }}\\ &\approx 2.428\end{aligned}\)

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\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 20 - 1\\ = 19\end{array}\)for the student.

\(0.01 < P < 0.025\)

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

\(P > 0.01 \Rightarrow Fail to Reject {H_0}\)

The population mean expense ratio exceeds \(1\% \) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

03

Describe the type I and type II error.

(b)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 20\\{\mu _A} = 1.33\end{array}\)

Claim that the population mean expense ratio exceeds\(1\% \).

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.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\mu = 1\\{H_a}:\mu > 1\end{array}\)

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

Interpretation: The population mean expense ratio exceeds\(1\% \), which is incorrect.

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

Interpretation: The population mean expense ratio does not exceed\(1\% \), which is incorrect.

The given population mean is \(\mu = 1.44\) that results in null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is failed to reject in part (a). Hence, the type II error was made.

04

Determine and interpret the power of the test.

(c)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 20\\\alpha = 0.01\end{array}\)

Claim that the population mean expense ratio exceeds\(1\% \).

\({\mu _A} = 1.33\)

Using the normal probability table in the appendix, find the z-score corresponding to a probability of\(1 - \alpha = 0.99\)(Note: take the complement because the test is right-sided):

\(z = 2.33\)

The population mean (of the hypothesis) is increased by the product of the z-score and the standard deviation to get the sample mean:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar x &= \mu + z\frac{\sigma }{{\sqrt n }}\\ &= 1 + 2.33\frac{{0.5}}{{\sqrt {20} }}\\ &\approx 1.2605\end{aligned}\)

The z-value is the sample mean divided by the standard deviation, after subtracting the population mean (alternative mean).

\(\begin{aligned}{c}z &= \frac{{\bar x - \mu }}{{\sigma /\sqrt n }}\\ &= \frac{{1.2605 - 1.33}}{{0.5/\sqrt {20} }}\\ &\approx - 0.62\end{aligned}\)

When the null hypothesis is false, the probability of making a type II error is the probability of not rejecting the null hypothesis. Using the normal probability table in the appendix, calculate the chances of failing to reject the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}POWER &= P(Z > - 0.62)\\ &= 1 - P(Z < - 0.62)\\ &= 1 - 0.2676\\ &= 0.7324\\ &= 73.24\% \end{aligned}\)

A random sample of \(150\) recent donations at a certain blood bank reveals that \(82\) were type A blood. Does this suggest that the actual percentage of type A donations differs from \(40\% \), the percentage of the population having type A blood? Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\). Would your conclusion have been different if a significance level of \(.05\) had been used?

Newly purchased tires of a particular type are supposed to be filled to a pressure of 30 psi. Let 碌 denote the true average pressure. A test is to be carried out to decide whether 碌 differs from the target value. Determine the P-value for each of the following z test statistic values.

A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1300 KN/m2 . The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with 蟽= 60. Let 碌 denote the true average compressive strength.

a.What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?

b.Let \(\overline X \) denote the sample average compressive strength for n= 10 randomly selected specimens. Consider the test procedure with test statistic \(\overline X \) itself (not standardized). If \(\overline x = 1340\), should H0 be rejected using a significance level of .01? (Hint: What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when H0 is true?)

c.What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when 碌 = 1350? For a test with 伪 = .01, what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact 碌= 1350 (a type II error)?

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.

The accompanying data on cube compressive strength (MPa) of concrete specimens appeared in the article 鈥淓xperimental Study of Recycled Rubber-Filled High-Strength Concrete鈥 (Magazine of Concrete Res., 2009: 549鈥556):

\(\begin{array}{l}112.3 97.0 92.7 86.0 102.0\\99.2 95.8 103.5 89.0 86.7\end{array}\)

a. Is it plausible that the compressive strength for this type of concrete is normally distributed?

b. Suppose the concrete will be used for a particular application unless there is strong evidence that true average strength is less than \(100MPa\). Should the concrete be used? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses.
