A simple random sample of 25 observations was selected from a normal population. The mean and standard deviation of this sample are 20 and 5, respectively.

a. Test H0:=22against Ha:22at the 10% significance level.

b. Test H0:22against H0:22at the 1% significance level.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The t-statistic is falls in to the rejection region. So, we reject the null hypothesis.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The sample size is, n=25.

The mean of the sample, x=20.

The sample standard deviation, s=5.

02

Null hypothesis

The null hypothesis is a common statistical theory that asserts that no statistical link or significance exists between two sets of observable data and measurable events. The null hypothesis is helpful since it can be tested to see whether or not there is a link between two measurable occurrences. It can tell the user whether the results produced are a result of chance and manipulation of a phenomena.

03

Compute the hypothesis test H0:μ=22 against  Ha:μ≠22 at the 10% significance level.

The null and alternative Hypothesis are given as follows:

H0:=22Ha:22

The significance level is 10%.

The test statistic is computed as:

t=x-s/n=20-225/25=-21=-2

This is a two-tailed test. So, the critical value of t corresponding to the degrees of freedom (n-1)=24 obtained from the t-table is 1.711.

Here, t>ta2-2>1.711. So, we reject the null hypothesis.

Hence, the t-statistic is falls in to the rejection region. So, we reject the null hypothesis.

鈥淪treaming鈥 of television programs is trending upward. According to The Harris Poll (August 26, 2013), over one-third of American鈥檚 qualify as 鈥渟ubscription streamers,鈥 i.e., those who watch streamed TV programs through a subscription service such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. The poll included 2,242 adult TV viewers, of which 785 are subscription streamers. On the basis of this result, can you conclude that the true fraction of adult TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of =.10. Be sure to give the null and alternative hypotheses tested, test statistic value, rejection region or p-value, and conclusion.

A two-tailed test was conducted with the null and alternative hypotheses stated being \({H_0}:p = .69\) against \({H_a}:p \ne .69\), respectively, with a sample size of 150. The test results were z = -.98 and two-tailed p-value = .327

a. Determine the conditions required for a valid large sample test

Authorizing computer users with palm prints. Access to computers, email, and Facebook accounts is achieved via a password鈥攁 collection of symbols (usually letters and numbers) selected by the user. One problem with passwords is that persistent hackers can create programs that enter millions of combinations of symbols into a target system until the correct password is found. An article in IEEE Pervasive Computing (October-December 2007) investigated the effectiveness of using palm prints to identify authorized users. For example, a system developed by Palmguard, Inc. tests the hypothesis

\({H_0}\): The proposed user is authorized

\({H_a}\): The proposed user is unauthorized

by checking characteristics of the proposed user鈥檚 palm print against those stored in the authorized users鈥 data bank.

a. Define a Type I error and Type II error for this test. Which is the more serious error? Why?

Suppose the sample in Exercise 7.64 has produced \(\hat p = .83\) and we wish to test \({H_0}:P = 0.9\) against the alternative \({H_a}:p < .9\)

a. Calculate the value of the z-statistic for this test.

If you select a very small value for when conducting a hypothesis test, will tend to be big or small? Explain.
