A paired difference experiment yielded ndpairs of observations. In each case, what is the rejection region for testing H0:μd>2?

a. nd=12,α=.05

b.nd=24,α=.10

c.nd=4,α=.025

d.nd=80,α=.01

Short Answer

Expert verified

Checking items and paperwork to assess how well demands or criteria are satisfied, finding flaws, measuring excellence as well as danger, establishing trust, and preventing problems.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: (a) State the rejection region when  nd= 12, α = 0.05

For a small sample size, the rejection criteria will depend upon the t-test.

Here, n=12

So, the degree of freedom will be n-1=11

α=0.05

So, the upper-tailed test rejection region will be t>1.796

02

(b) State the rejection region when nd= 24, α = 0.10

For a small sample size, the rejection criteria will depend upon the t-test.

Here, n=24

So, the degree of freedom will be n-1=23

α=0.10

So, the upper-tailed test rejection region will be t>1.319
03

(c) State the rejection region when nd= 4, α = 0.025

For a small sample size, the rejection criteria will depend upon the t-test.

Here, n=4

So, the degree of freedom will be n-1=3

α=0.025

So, the upper-tailed test rejection region will be t>3.181

04

(d) State the rejection region when nd= 80, α = 0.01

For a large sample size, the rejection criteria will depend upon the t-test.

Here,n=80

So, the degree of freedom will be =n−1=79

α=0.01

So, the upper-tailed test rejection region will bet>2.374

Gouges on a spindle. A tool-and-die machine shop produces extremely high-tolerance spindles. The spindles are 18-inch slender rods used in a variety of military equipment. A piece of equipment used in the manufacture of the spindles malfunctions on occasion and places a single gouge somewhere on the spindle. However, if the spindle can be cut so that it has 14 consecutive inches without a gouge, then the spindle can be salvaged for other purposes. Assuming that the location of the gouge along the spindle is random, what is the probability that a defective spindle can be salvaged?

Conducting a political poll. A pollster wants to estimate the difference between the proportions of men and women who favor a particular national candidate using a 90% confidence interval of width .04. Suppose the pollster has no prior information about the proportions. If equal numbers of men and women are to be polled, how large should the sample sizes be?

Optimal goal target in soccer. When attempting to score a goal in soccer, where should you aim your shot? Should you aim for a goalpost (as some soccer coaches teach), the middle of the goal, or some other target? To answer these questions, Chance (Fall 2009) utilized the normal probability distribution. Suppose the accuracy x of a professional soccer player’s shots follows a normal distribution with a mean of 0 feet and a standard deviation of 3 feet. (For example, if the player hits his target,x=0; if he misses his target 2 feet to the right, x=2; and if he misses 1 foot to the left,x=-1.) Now, a regulation soccer goal is 24 feet wide. Assume that a goalkeeper will stop (save) all shots within 9 feet of where he is standing; all other shots on goal will score. Consider a goalkeeper who stands in the middle of the goal.

a. If the player aims for the right goalpost, what is the probability that he will score?

b. If the player aims for the center of the goal, what is the probability that he will score?

c. If the player aims for halfway between the right goal post and the outer limit of the goalkeeper’s reach, what is the probability that he will score?
