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.

It is known that roughly \(2/3\) of all human beings have a dominant right foot or eye. Is there also right-sided dominance in kissing behaviour? The article 鈥淗uman Behaviour: Adult Persistence of Head-Turning Asymmetry鈥 (Nature, 2003: 771) reported that in a random sample of \(124\) kissing couples, both people in \(80\) of the couples tended to lean more to the right than to the left.

a. If \(2/3\) of all kissing couples exhibit this right-leaning behaviour, what is the probability that the number in a sample of \(124\) who do so differ from the expected value by at least as much as what was actually observed?

b. Does the result of the experiment suggest that the \(2/3\) figure is implausible for kissing behaviour? State and test the appropriate hypotheses.

Water samples are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150掳F, there will be no negative effects on the river鈥檚 ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150掳, 50 water samples will be taken at randomly selected times and the temperature of each sample recorded. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses H0: 碌= 1500 versus Ha: 碌> 1500. In the context of this situation, describe type I and type II errors. Which type of error would you

consider more serious? Explain.

A random sample of soil specimens was obtained, and the amount of organic matter (%) in the soil was determined for each specimen, resulting in the accompanying data (from 鈥淓ngineering Properties of Soil,鈥 Soil Science, 1998: 93鈥102).

\(\begin{array}{l}1.10 5.09 0.97 1.59 4.60 0.32 0.55 1.45\\0.14 4.47 1.20 3.50 5.02 4.67 5.22 2.69\\3.98 3.17 3.03 2.21 0.69 4.47 3.31 1.17\\0.76 1.17 1.57 2.62 1.66 2.05\end{array}\)

The values of the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and (estimated) standard error of the mean are \(2.481,1.616,\) and \(.295,\) respectively. Does this data suggest that the true average percentage of organic matter in such soil is something other than \(3\% \)? Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses at significance level \(.10\). Would your conclusion be different if a \(\alpha = .05\) had been used? (Note: A normal probability plot of the data shows an acceptable pattern in light of the reasonably large sample size.)

A manufacturer of plumbing fixtures has developed a new type of washer less faucet. Let \(p = P\) (a randomly selected faucet of this type will develop a leak within \(2\) years under normal use). The manufacturer has decided to proceed with production unless it can be determined that \(p\) is too large; the borderline acceptable value of \(p\) is specified as \(.10\). The manufacturer decides to subject \(n\) of these faucets to accelerated testing (approximating \(2\) years of normal use). With \(X = \) the number among the \(n\) faucets that leak before the test concludes, production will commence unless the observed X is too large. It is decided that if \(p = .10\), the probability of not proceeding should be at most \(.10\), whereas if \(p = .30\) the probability of proceeding should be at most \(.10\). Can \(n = 10\) be used? \(n = 20\)? \(n = 25\)? What are the actual error probabilities for the chosen n?

For which of the given P-values would the null hypothesis be rejected when performing a level .05 test?

a. .001 b. .021 c. .078

d..047 e. .148
