Chapter 8: Q. 9.36 (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 regions are z<-1.96 and z>1.96..

(b) The non rejection region is -1.96 <z<1.96

(c)The critical values for the test are z=-1.96 and 2, = 1.96

(d) The significance level is 0.05.

(e)

(f)Here the hypothesis is two-tailed test.

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

From the above graph it is clear that is that the rejection regions are z<-1.96 and z>1.96.

03

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

From the above graph it is clear that the nonrejection region is -1.96 <z<1.96

04

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

The critical values for the test are z=-1.96 and 2, = 1.96

05

Part( d) Step 5. Determine the significance level

The graph shows the critical region in the two tails so if we add the area under the rejection region we get the significance level. That is,

a=0.025+0.025.

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.

Here the hypothesis is two-tailed test.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Using Technology. In Exercises 5–8, identify the indicated values or interpret the given display. Use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution, as described in Part 1 of this section. Use α= 0.05 significance level and answer the following:

a. Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed?

b. What is the test statistic?

c. What is the P-value?

d. What is the null hypothesis, and what do you conclude about it?

e. What is the final conclusion?

Self-Driving Vehicles In a TE Connectivity survey of 1000 adults, 29% said that they would feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle. The accompanying StatCrunch display results from testing the claim that more than 1/4 of adults feel comfortable in a self-driving vehicle.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises 13–24, assume that a simple random sample has been selected and test the given claim. Unless specified by your instructor, use either the P-value method or the critical value method for testing hypotheses. 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.

Insomnia Treatment A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment with zopiclone, 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.8 min. After treatment with zopiclone, the 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 98.9 min and a standard deviation of 42.3 min (based on data from “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs Zopiclone for Treatment of Chronic Primary Insomnia in Older Adults,” by Sivertsenet al.,Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 24). Assume that the 16 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population, and test the claim that after treatment with zopiclone, subjects have a mean wake time of less than 102.8 min. Does zopiclone appear to be effective?

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.

Touch Therapy Repeat the preceding exercise using a 0.01 significance level. Does the conclusion change?

Confidence interval Assume that we will use the sample data from Exercise 1 “Video Games” with a 0.05 significance level in a test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 90 sec. If we want to construct a confidence interval to be used for testing the claim, what confidence level should be used for the confidence interval? If the confidence interval is found to be 21.1 sec < μ< 191.4 sec, what should we conclude about the claim?

Finding P-values. In Exercises 5–8, either use technology to find the P-value or use Table A-3 to find a range of values for the P-value.

Airport Data Speeds: The claim that for Verizon data speeds at airports, the mean. The sample size is and the test statistic is

t =-1.625 .
