Chapter 12: Q. 1 (page 799)

A major agricultural company is testing a newvariety of wheat to determine whether it is more resistant tocertain insects than is the current wheat variety. The pro-portion of a current wheat crop lost to insects is 4%. Thus,the company wishes to test the following hypotheses:

H0:p=0.04

H0:p<0.04

Which of the following significance levels and sample sizes

would lead to the highest power for this test?

(a)n=200and伪=0.01

(b)n=400and伪=0.05

(c)n=400and伪=0.01

(d)n=500and伪=0.01

(e)n=500and伪=0.05

Short Answer

Expert verified

e)n=500,伪=0.05

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have been given five options from which one is correct and the correct is (e)

02

Simplify

While it is possible to derive the power of a given function

n=500and伪=0.05

The higher the sample size, the more power to detect differences.

Beavers and beetles Do beavers benefit beetles? Researchers laid out 23 circular plots, every four meters in diameter, at random in an area where beavers were cutting down cottonwood trees. In each plot, they counted the number of stumps from trees cut by beavers and the number of clusters of beetle larvae. Ecologists think that the new sprouts from stumps are more tender than other cottonwood growth so beetles prefer them. If so, more stumps should produce more beetle larvae.

Minitab output for a regression analysis on these data is shown below. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Assume that the conditions for performing inference are met.

Suppose that the relationship between a response variable y and an explanatory variable x is modelled by y=2.7(0.316)x. Which of the following scatterplots would approximately follow a straight line?

(a) A plot of y against x

(b) A plot of y against log x

(c) A plot of log y against x

(d) A plot of log y against log x

(e) None of (a) through (d)

The P-value for the test in Question 5 is 0.0087. A correct interpretation of this result is that

(a) the probability that there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for these 69players is 0.0087.

(b) the probability that there is no linear relationship between the average number of putts per hole and total winnings for all players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list is 0.0087.

(c) if there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players in the sample, the probability of getting a random sample of 69players yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of -4139198or less is 0.0087.

(d) if there is no linear relationship between an average number of putts per hole and total winnings for the players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list, the probability of getting a random sample of 69 players yields a least-squares regression line with a slope of -4139198or less is 0.0087.

(e) the probability of making a Type II error is0.0087.

Snowmobiles (11.2) Do these data provide convincing evidence of an association between environmental club membership and snowmobile use for the population of visitors to Yellowstone National Park? Carry out an appropriate test at the 5% significance level

Students in a statistics class drew circles of varying diameters and counted how many Cheerios could be placed in the circle. The scatterplot shows the results.

The students want to determine an appropriate equation for the relationship between diameter and the number of Cheerios. The students decide to transform the data to make it appear more linear before computing a least-squares regression line. Which of the following single transformations would be reasonable for them to try?

I. Take the square root of the number of Cheerios.

II. Cube the number of Cheerios.

III. Take the log of the number of Cheerios.

IV. Take the log of the diameter.

(a) I and II

(b) I and III

(c) II and III

(d) II and IV

(e) I and IV
