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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The null hypothesis has been rejected.

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.

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

The formula for the value of the test statistic is given by,\(z = \frac{{\hat p - {p_0}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{{p_0}\left( {1 - {p_0}} \right)}}{n}} }}\).

The sample proportion is calculated by dividing the number of successes by the sample size. \(\hat p = \frac{x}{n}\)

02

Test the appropriate hypothesis.

Let the appropriate hypotheses be\({H_0}:p = 0.4\)versus\({H_0}:p \ne 0.4\).

Let the given be:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{p_0} &= 0.4\\n &= 150\end{aligned}\)

Sample proportion:

\(\hat p = \frac{{82}}{{150}}\)

The value of the test-statistic:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}z &= \frac{{82/150 - 0.4}}{{\sqrt {0.4(1 - 0.4)/150} }}\\ &= \frac{{0.147}}{{0.04}}\\ &= 3.667\end{aligned}\)

The P-value of the alternative hypothesis\({H_a}:p \ne {p_0}\)is,

\(\begin{array}{l} = 2 \times (Area under the standard normal curve to the right of|z|)\\ = 2 \times P(z \ge 3.667)\\ = 2 \times 0\\ = 0\end{array}\)

Hence, the null hypothesis has been rejected because \(0 < 0.01\). The percentage of all donors with blood type A differs from \(40\% \). The same conclusions would be the same for \(\alpha = 0.05\).

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 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)?

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

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.

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.)
