Specify the appropriate rejection region for testing \({H_0}:\sigma _1^2 = \sigma _2^2\) in each of the following situations:

  1. \({H_a}:\sigma _1^2 > \sigma _2^2\,\alpha = .05,\,{n_1} = 25,{n_2} = 20\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The rejection region for right tailed test is given by \(F > 2.1141\)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The hypothesis are given by

\(\begin{aligned}{H_0}:\sigma _1^2 = \sigma _2^2\\{H_a}:\sigma _1^2 > \sigma _2^2\end{aligned}\)

The level of significance is 0.05

02

Compute degrees of freedom

\(\begin{aligned}{v_1} &= {n_1} - 1\\ &= 25 - 1\\ &= 24\\{v_2} &= {n_2} - 1\\ &= 20 - 1\\ &= 19\end{aligned}\)

03

Test statistic

The test statistic is computed as

\(F = \frac{{s_1^2}}{{s_2^2}}\)

04

Critical value

For,

\(\alpha = 0.05\,and\,{v_1} = 24\;and\,{v_2} = 19\)

The critical value is

\({F^ \bullet } = {F_{0.05}}\left( {24,19} \right) = 2.1141\)

05

Decision-rule

The rejection region for right tailed test is given by

\(\begin{aligned}F > {F^ \bullet }\\F > 2.1141\end{aligned}\)

Given that xis a binomial random variable, compute P(x)for each of the following cases:

a. n= 7, x= 3, p= .5

b. n= 4, x= 3, p= .8

c. n= 15, x= 1, p= .1

Studies have established that rudeness in the workplace can lead to retaliatory and counterproductive behaviour. However, there has been little research on how rude behaviours influence a victim’s task performance. Such a study was conducted, and the results were published in the Academy of Management Journal (Oct. 2007). College students enrolled in a management course were randomly assigned to two experimental conditions: rudeness condition (students) and control group (students). Each student was asked to write down as many uses for a brick as possible in minutes. For those students in the rudeness condition, the facilitator displayed rudeness by generally berating students for being irresponsible and unprofessional (due to a late-arriving confederate). No comments were made about the late-arriving confederate to students in the control group. The number of different uses for brick was recorded for each student and is shown below. Conduct a statistical analysis (at α=0.01) to determine if the true mean performance level for students in the rudeness condition is lower than the actual mean performance level for students in the control group.

The data is given below

Enough money has been budgeted to collect independent random samples of size n1=n2=100from populations 1 and 2 to estimate localid="1664867109106" μ1-μ2. Prior information indicates that σ1=σ2=10. Have sufficient funds been allocated to construct a 90% confidence interval forμ1-μ2of width 5 or less? Justify your answer.

Question: Independent random samples from approximately normal populations produced the results shown below.

Sample 1

Sample 2

a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that (μ1-μ2)>10? Test usingα=0.1.

b. Construct a confidence interval for (μ1-μ2). Interpret your result.

A paired difference experiment produced the following results:

nd=38,x¯1=92,x¯2=95.5,d¯=-3.5,sd2=21

a. Determine the values zfor which the null hypothesis μ1−μ2=0would be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis μ1−μ2<0 Use .role="math" localid="1652704322912" α=.10

b. Conduct the paired difference test described in part a. Draw the appropriate conclusions.

c. What assumptions are necessary so that the paired difference test will be valid?

d. Find a90% confidence interval for the mean difference μd.

e. Which of the two inferential procedures, the confidence interval of part d or the test of the hypothesis of part b, provides more information about the differences between the population means?
