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 \(\alpha = .05\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The average CO concentration is at \(70ppm\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

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.

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

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar x &= \frac{{85 + 77 + 82 + 68 + 72 + 69}}{6}\\ &= \frac{{453}}{6}\\ &\approx 75.5\end{aligned}\)

The square of the variance is the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s &= \sqrt {\frac{{{{(85 - 75.5)}^2} + \ldots . + {{(69 - 75.5)}^2}}}{{6 - 1}}} \\ &\approx 7.0071\end{aligned}\)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 6\\\alpha = 0.05\end{array}\)

Claim that the average CO concentration is at\(70ppm\).

The value of the test statistic:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}t &= \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\\ &= \frac{{75.5 - 70}}{{7.0071/\sqrt 6 }}\\ &\approx 1.923\end{aligned}\)

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\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 6 - 1\\ = 5\end{array}\)for the student.

\(0.10 = 2 \times 0.05 < P < 2 \times 0.10 = 0.20\)

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

\(P > 0.05 \Rightarrow Fail to Reject {H_0}\)

The average CO concentration is at \(70ppm\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

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?

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?

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

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)?

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.)

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?
