A random sample of 64 observations produced the following summary statistics: \(\bar x = 0.323\) and \({s^2} = 0.034\).

a. Test the null hypothesis that\(\mu = 0.36\)against the alternative hypothesis that\(\mu < 0.36\)using\(\alpha = 0.10\).

b. Test the null hypothesis that \(\mu = 0.36\) against the alternative hypothesis that \(\mu \ne 0.36\) using \(\alpha = 0.10\). Interpret the result.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The p-value is less than 0.10, reject the null hypothesis\(\mu = 0.36\).

b. The p-value is more than 0.10; therefore, do not reject the null hypothesis \(\mu = 0.36\).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The summary statistics for the random sample size\(n = 64\)are:

\(\bar x = 0.323\), and\({s^2} = 0.034\).

The two-sided and one-sided hypothesis testing problems \(\mu = 0.36\) need to test at a 10% significance level.

02

Obtaining the value of the test statistic

The test statistic is:

\(\begin{aligned}z &= \frac{{\bar x - \mu }}{{\frac{s}{{\sqrt n }}}}\\ &= \frac{{0.323 - 0.36}}{{\frac{{\sqrt {0.034} }}{{\sqrt {64} }}}}\\ &= \frac{{ - 0.037}}{{0.0230}}\\ &= - 1.61\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the test statistic is \(z = - 1.61\).

03

Concluding one-tailed test

a.

The p-value for the left-tailed test is:

\(\begin{aligned}p &= P\left( {Z < - 1.61} \right)\\ &= 0.0537\end{aligned}\).

The probability is the value at the intersection of -1.60 and 0.01 in the z-table.

Since the p-value is less than 0.10, reject the null hypothesis\(\mu = 0.36\).

Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to claim \(\mu < 0.36\).

04

Concluding two-tailed test

b.

The p-value for the two-tailed test is:

\(\begin{aligned}p &= 2 \times P\left( {Z < - 1.61} \right)\\ &= 2 \times 0.0537\\ &= 0.1074\end{aligned}\).

The p-value is more than 0.10; therefore, do not reject the null hypothesis\(\mu = 0.36\).

Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to claim \(\mu < 0.36\).

Jury trial outcomes. Sometimes, the outcome of a jury trial defies the 鈥渃ommon sense鈥 expectations of the general public (e.g., the 1995 O. J. Simpson verdict and the 2011 Casey Anthony verdict). Such a verdict is more acceptable if we understand that the jury trial of an accused murderer is analogous to the statistical hypothesis-testing process. The null hypothesis in a jury trial is that the accused is innocent. (The status-quo hypothesis in the U.S. system of justice is innocence, which is assumed to be true until proven beyond a reasonable doubt.) The alternative hypothesis is guilt, which is accepted only when sufficient evidence exists to establish its truth. If the vote of the jury is unanimous in favor of guilt, the null hypothesis of innocence is rejected, and the court concludes that the accused murderer is guilty. Any vote other than a unanimous one for guilt results in a 鈥渘ot guilty鈥 verdict. The court never accepts the null hypothesis; that is, the court never declares the accused 鈥渋nnocent.鈥 A 鈥渘ot guilty鈥 verdict (as in the Casey Anthony case) implies that the court could not find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt

a. Define Type I and Type II errors in a murder trial.

b. Which of the two errors is the more serious? Explain.

c. The court does not, in general, know the values of and ; but ideally, both should be small. One of these probabilities is assumed to be smaller than the other in a jury trial. Which one, and why?

d. The court system relies on the belief that the value of is made very small by requiring a unanimous vote before guilt is concluded. Explain why this is so.

e. For a jury prejudiced against a guilty verdict as the trial begins, will the value of increase or decrease? Explain.

f. For a jury prejudiced against a guilty verdict as the trial begins, will the value of increase or decrease? Explain

An analyst tested the null hypothesis that 20against the alternative hypothesis that <20. The analyst reported a p-value of .06. What is the smallest value offor which the null hypothesis would be rejected?

Cooling method for gas turbines. During periods of high electricity demand, especially during the hot summer months, the power output from a gas turbine engine can drop dramatically. One way to counter this drop in power is by cooling the inlet air to the gas turbine. An increasingly popular cooling method uses high-pressure inlet fogging. The performance of a sample of 67 gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging was investigated in the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (January 2005). One performance measure is heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour). Heat rates for the 67 gas turbines are listed in the table below. Suppose that standard gas turbines have heat rates with a standard deviation of 1,500 kJ/kWh. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the heat rates of the augmented gas turbine engine are more variable than the heat rates of the standard gas turbine engine? Test using a = .05.

A random sample of n observations is selected from a normal population to test the null hypothesis that 碌=10.Specify the rejection region for each of the following combinations of \(Ha,\alpha ,\) and n:

a.\(Ha:\)碌\( \ne 10;\alpha = .05.;n = 14\)

b.\(Ha:\)碌\( > 10;\alpha = .01;n = 24\)\(\)

c.\(Ha:\)碌\( > 10;\alpha = .10;n = 9\)

d.\(Ha:\)碌 <\(10:\alpha = .01;n = 12\)

e.\(Ha:\)碌\( \ne 10;\alpha = .10;n = 20\)

f. \(Ha:\)碌<\(10;\alpha = .05;n = 4\)

Packaging of a children鈥檚 health food. Can packaging of a healthy food product influence children鈥檚 desire to consume the product? This was the question of interest in an article published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour (Vol. 10, 2011). A fictitious brand of a healthy food product鈥攕liced apples鈥攚as packaged to appeal to children (a smiling cartoon apple was on the front of the package). The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 408 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1 = 鈥渘ot willing at all鈥 and 5 = 鈥渧ery willing.鈥 The data are summarized as follows: \(\bar x = 3.69\) , s = 2.44. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is \(\mu = 3\).

a. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean willingness to eat the brand of sliced apples packaged for children exceeded 3. Use\(\alpha = 0.05\)

to make your conclusion.

b. The data (willingness to eat values) are not normally distributed. How does this impact (if at all) the validity of your conclusion in part a? Explain.
