Chapter 8: Q. 9.35 (page 364)

This exercise contain graphs portraying the decision criterion for a one-mean 2-test. The curve in each graph is the normal curve for the test statistic under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. For each exercise, determine the

a. rejection region.

c. critical value(s).

b. nonrejection region.

d. significance level.

e. Construct a graph similar to that in Fig. 9.3 on page 361 that depicts your results from parts (a)-(d).

f. Identify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed or right tailed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The rejection region is z>1.645.

(b) The non rejection region is z ≤1.645.

(c)For the given graph, z=1.645 is the value which separates critical and non critical regions.

(d) The significance level is 0.05.

(e)

(f) As there is only one critical region towards right , the corresponding test is right -test failed.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given

The curve in each graph is the normal curve for the test statistic under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.

02

Part(a) Step 2. Determine the rejection region

The rejection region for the above graph is the set of values of z which are greater than 1.645. That is, the rejection region is z>1.645.

03

Part (b) Step 3.  Determine the non-rejection region 

The non-rejection region for the above graph is the set of values of z which are less than 1.645. That is, the non rejection region is z ≤1.645.

04

Part(c) Step 4. Determine the critical values.

The critical value is the value of test statistic that separate the rejection and non rejection regions. For the given graph, z=1.645 is the value which separates critical and non critical regions.

05

Part( d) Step 5. Determine the significance level

The size of critical region is known as significance level. For the given graph, the size of critical region is 0.05.

Hence, the significance level is 0.05.

06

Part(e) Step 6. Construct a graph similar to that in Fig. 9.3 on page 361 that depicts your results from parts (a)-(d). 

The graph that depicts critical region, non critical region and critical value is shown below:

07

Part (f) Step 7. Identify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed or right tailed.

As there is only one critical region towards right , the corresponding test is right -test failed.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Technology. In Exercises 9–12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Airport Data Speeds Data Set 32 “Airport Data Speeds” in Appendix B includes Sprint data speeds (mbps). The accompanying TI-83/84 Plus display results from using those data to test the claim that they are from a population having a mean less than 4.00 Mbps. Conduct the hypothesis test using these results.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9–32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Is Nessie Real? This question was posted on the America Online website: Do you believe the Loch Ness monster exists? Among 21,346 responses, 64% were “yes.” Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that most people believe that the Loch Ness monster exists. How is the conclusion affected by the fact that Internet users who saw the question could decide whether to respond?

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9–32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Births A random sample of 860 births in New York State included 426 boys. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that 51.2% of newborn babies are boys. Do the results support the belief that 51.2% of newborn babies are boys?

Interpreting Power For the sample data in Example 1 “Adult Sleep” from this section, Minitab and StatCrunch show that the hypothesis test has power of 0.4943 of supporting the claim that μ<7 hours of sleep when the actual population mean is 6.0 hours of sleep. Interpret this value of the power, then identify the value of βand interpret that value. (For the t test in this section, a “noncentrality parameter” makes calculations of power much more complicated than the process described in Section 8-1, so software is recommended for power calculations.)

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 9–32, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section.

Tennis Instant Replay The Hawk-Eye electronic system is used in tennis for displaying an instant replay that shows whether a ball is in bounds or out of bounds so players can challenge calls made by referees. In a recent U.S. Open, singles players made 879 challenges and 231 of them were successful, with the call overturned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that fewer than 1/ 3 of the challenges are successful. What do the results suggest about the ability of players to see calls better than referees?
