Before agreeing to purchase a large order of polyethylene sheaths for a particular type of high-pressure oil filled submarine power cable, a company wants to see conclusive evidence that the true standard deviation of

sheath thickness is less than .05 mm. What hypotheses should be tested, and why? In this context, what are the type I and type II errors?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The hypotheses are \({H_0}:\sigma = 0.05\) versus \({H_a}:\sigma < 0.05\), where \(\sigma \) is the population standard deviation.

Step by step solution

01

Errors in Hypothesis testing.

A type I error consists of rejecting the null hypothesis H0 when it is true.

A type II error involves not rejecting H0 when it is false.

02

Step 2:Test statistic.

A test statistic is a function of the sample data used as a basis for deciding whether H0 should be rejected. The selected test statistic should discriminate effectively between the two hypotheses. That is, values of the statistic that tend to result when H0 is true should be quite different from those typically observed when H0 is not true

03

Hypothesis results.

The hypotheses are \({H_0}:\sigma = 0.05\) versus \({H_a}:\sigma < 0.05\), where \(\sigma \) is the population standard deviation. Polyethylene sheaths will be used unless hypothesis \({H_0}\) is rejected, therefore the burden on proof is on the data to show that the true standard deviation of sheath thickness is not less than \(0.05\)- the sheaths will be used unless \({H_a}\) is accepted.

The type I error is to conclude that \(\sigma \)is less that \(0.05\) when it is equal to \(0.05\).

The type II error is to conclude that \(\sigma \)is \(0.05\) when it is \(0.05\).

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 \((6)\).

\((sin\theta )y''' - (cos\theta )y' = 2\)

The article 鈥淭he Foreman鈥檚 View of Quality Control鈥 (Quality Engr., 1990: 257鈥280) described an investigation into the coating weights for large pipes resulting from a galvanized coating process. Production standards call for a true average weight of 200 lb per pipe. The accompanying descriptive summary and boxplot are from Minitab.

a. What does the boxplot suggest about the status of the specification for true average coating weight?

b. A normal probability plot of the data was quite straight. Use the descriptive output to test the appropriate hypotheses.

Automatic identification of the boundaries of significant structures within a medical image is an area of ongoing research. The paper 鈥淎utomatic Segmentation of Medical Images Using Image Registration: Diagnostic and

Simulation Applications鈥 (J. of Medical Engr. and Tech., 2005: 53鈥63)discussed a new technique for such identification. A measure of the accuracy of the automatic region is the average linear displacement (ALD). The paper gave the following ALD observations for a sample of 49 kidneys (units of pixel dimensions).

1.38 0.44 1.09 0.75 0.66 1.28 0.51

0.39 0.70 0.46 0.54 0.83 0.58 0.64

1.30 0.57 0.43 0.62 1.00 1.05 0.82

1.10 0.65 0.99 0.56 0.56 0.64 0.45

0.82 1.06 0.41 0.58 0.66 0.54 0.83

0.59 0.51 1.04 0.85 0.45 0.52 0.58

1.11 0.34 1.25 0.38 1.44 1.28 0.51

a.Summarize/describe the data.

b.Is it plausible that ALD is at least approximately normally distributed? Must normality be assumed prior to calculating a CI for true average ALD or testing hypotheses about true average ALD? Explain.

c.The authors commented that in most cases the ALD is better than or of the order of 1.0. Does the data in fact provide strong evidence for concluding that true average ALD under these circumstances is less than 1.0? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses.

d.Calculate an upper confidence bound for true average ALD using a confidence level of 95%, and interpret this bound.

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.

In Problems \(19\) and \(20\) verify that the indicated expression is an implicit solution of the given first-order differential equation. Find atleast one explicit solutionin each case. Use a graphing utility to obtain the graph of an explicit solution. Give an interval \(I\) of definition of each solution \(\phi \).

\(2xydx + ({x^2} - y)dy = 0; - 2{x^2}y + {y^2} = 1\)
