Chapter 10: Problem 50

Assuming a random sample from a large population, for which of the following null hypotheses and sample sizes is the large-sample \(z\) test appropriate? a. \(H_{0}: p=0.2, n=25\) b. \(H_{0}: p=0.6, n=200\) c. \(H_{0}: p=0.9, n=100\) d. \(H_{0}: p=0.05, n=75\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The large-sample z test is appropriate for hypothesis A, B and C but not for D.

Step by step solution

01

Test for Hypothesis A

For Hypothesis A, we have \(p=0.2\) and \(n=25\). Check if both \(np = 25*0.2 = 5\) and \(n(1-p) = 25*0.8 = 20\) are greater than or equal to 5. Here, both values satisfy the condition, hence the large-sample z test is appropriate.
02

Test for Hypothesis B

For Hypothesis B, we have \(p=0.6\) and \(n=200\). Check if both \(np = 200*0.6 = 120\) and \(n(1-p) = 200*0.4 = 80\) are greater than or equal to 5. Here, both values satisfy the condition, hence the large-sample z test is appropriate.
03

Test for Hypothesis C

For Hypothesis C, we have \(p=0.9\) and \(n=100\). Check if both \(np = 100*0.9 = 90\) and \(n(1-p) = 100*0.1 = 10\) are greater than or equal to 5. Here, both values satisfy the condition, hence the large-sample z test is appropriate.
04

Test for Hypothesis D

For Hypothesis D, we have \(p=0.05\) and \(n=75\). Check if both \(np = 75*0.05 = 3.75\) and \(n(1-p) = 75*0.95 = 71.25\) are greater than or equal to 5. Here, \(np < 5\), hence the large-sample z test is not appropriate.

Give an example of a situation where you would not want to select a very small significance level.

The paper "College Students' Social Networking Experiences on Facebook" (Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology [2009]: 227-238) summarized a study in which 92 students at a private university were asked how much time they spent on Facebook on a typical weekday. The researchers were interested in estimating the average time spent on Facebook by students at this university.

USA Today (Feb. 17, 2011) described a survey of 1,008 American adults. One question on the survey asked people if they had ever sent a love letter using e-mail. Suppose that this survey used a random sample of adults and that you want to decide if there is evidence that more than \(20 \%\) of American adults have written a love letter using e-mail. a. Describe the shape, center, and spread of the sampling distribution of \(\hat{p}\) for random samples of size 1,008 if the null hypothesis \(H_{0}: p=0.20\) is true. b. Based on your answer to Part (a), what sample proportion values would convince you that more than \(20 \%\) of adults have sent a love letter via e-mail?

In a hypothesis test, what does it mean to say that the null hypothesis was not rejected?

A county commissioner must vote on a resolution that would commit substantial resources to the construction of a sewer in an outlying residential area. Her fiscal decisions have been criticized in the past, so she decides to take a survey of residents in her district to find out if they favor spending money for a sewer system. She will vote to appropriate funds only if she can be reasonably sure that a majority of the people in her district favor the measure. What hypotheses should she test?
