Step by step solution

01

Given information

For each part, the null and the alternative hypotheses are given with a specific significance level

02

(a) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ⩽μ0 and Ha:μ>μ0;α=0.1 

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu \le {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu > {\mu _0}\)

The given alternative hypothesis is right-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.1\)

Therefore, from the table of Standard Normal Distribution z score valueis 1.282.

The sampling distribution of Z and the rejection region's location is shown in the following diagram.

03

(b) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ⩽μ0and Ha:μ>μ0;α=0.05 

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu \le {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu > {\mu _0}\)

The given alternative hypothesis is right-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.05\)

Therefore, from the table of Standard Normal Distribution z score value is 1.96.

The sampling distribution of Z and the rejection region's location is shown in the following diagram.

04

(c) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ⩾μ0 and Ha:μ<μ0;α=0.01 

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu \ge {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu < {\mu _0}\)

Given alternative hypothesis is left-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.01\)

Therefore, from the table of Standard Normal Distribution z score value is -2.326.

The sampling distribution of Z and the location of the rejection region at \(Z < - 2.326\) is shown in the following diagram.

05

(d) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ=μ0 and Ha:μ≠μ0;α=0.05    

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu = {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu \ne {\mu _0}\)

The given alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.05\)

Therefore, from the table of Standard Normal Distribution z score value is 1.96.

The sampling distribution of Z and the rejection region's location is shown in the following diagram.

06

(e) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ=μ0 and Ha:μ≠μ0;α=0.1

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu = {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu \ne {\mu _0}\)

The given alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.1\)

Therefore, from the Standard Normal distribution table, z score values are -1.282 and 1.282.

The sampling distribution of Z and the rejection region's location is shown in the following diagram.

Consider,

\({H_0}:\mu = {\mu _0}\)

\({H_a}:\mu \ne {\mu _0}\)

The given alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.

Also,

\(\alpha = 0.1\)

Therefore, from the Standard Normal distribution table, z score values are -1.282 and 1.282.

07

(f) Sketching the sampling distribution of z for H0:μ=μ0 and Ha:μ≠μ0;α=0.01

Consider,

H0:μ=μ0Ha:μ≠μ0

The given alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.

Also,

α=0.01

Therefore, from the Standard Normal distribution table, z score values are -2.326 and 2.326.

The sampling distribution of Z and the rejection region's location is shown in the following diagram.

(g) Stating the probabilities of Type I errors.

Since Type I error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

Now, the required table is as follows:

FDA certification of new drugs. Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars per year on research and development of new drugs. The pharmaceutical company must subject each new drug to lengthy and involved testing before receiving the necessary permission from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the drug. The FDA’s policy is that the pharmaceutical company must provide substantial evidence that a new drug is safe prior to receiving FDA approval, so that the FDA can confidently certify the safety of the drug to potential consumers.

a. If the new drug testing were to be placed in a test of hypothesis framework, would the null hypothesis be that the drug is safe or unsafe? The alternative hypothesis?

Salaries of postgraduates. The Economics of Education Review (Vol. 21, 2002) published a paper on the relationship between education level and earnings. The data for the research was obtained from the National Adult Literacy Survey of more than 25,000 respondents. The survey revealed that males with a postgraduate degree have a mean salary of \(61,340 (with standard error \(Sx\) = \)2,185), while females with a postgraduate degree have a mean of \(32,227 (with standard error \(Sx\) = \)932).

  1. The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for \[{\bf{\mu }}M\] , the population mean salary of all males with post-graduate degrees, is (\(57,050, \)65,631). Based on this interval, is there evidence to say that \[{\bf{\mu }}M\] differs from \(60,000? Explain.
  2. Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the true mean salary of males with postgraduate degrees differs from \)60,000. Use \(\alpha \) =.05.
  3. Explain why the inferences in parts a and b agree.
  4. The article reports that a 95% confidence interval for \(\mu F\) , the population mean salary of all females with post-graduate degrees, is (\(30,396, \)34,058). Based on this interval, is there evidence to say that \(\mu F\)differs from \(33,000? Explain.
  5. Use the summary information to test the hypothesis that the true mean salary of females with postgraduate degrees differs from \)33,000. Use \(\alpha \) =.05.
  6. Explain why the inferences in parts d and e agree.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported the results of an April 2015 survey of home buyers. In a random sample of 1,971 residential properties purchased during the year, 414 were purchased as a vacation home. Five years ago, 10% of residential properties were vacation homes.

a. Do the survey results allow the NAR to conclude (at α=.01) that the percentage of all residential properties purchased for vacation homes is greater than 10%?

b. In a previous year, the NAR sent the survey questionnaire to a nationwide sample of 45,000 new home owners, of which 1,982 responded to the survey. How might this bias the results? [Note: In the most recent survey, the NAR used a more valid sampling method.

A random sample of 41 observations from a normal population possessed a mean \(\bar x = 88\) and a standard deviation s = 6.9.

a. Test \({H_0}:{\sigma ^2} = 30\) against \({H_a}:{\sigma ^2} > 30\). Use\(\alpha = 0.05.\)
