Chapter 8: Q. 9.40 (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 arez>1.28

(b) The non rejection region isz<1.28

(c)The critical values for the test arez0=1.28

(d) The significance level is 0.10 .

(e)

(f)The hypothesis is right-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 arez>1.28

03

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

From the above graph it is clear that is that the non- rejection regions arez<1.28

04

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

The critical values for the test arez0=1.28

05

Part( d) Step 5. Determine the significance level

The graph shows the critical region in the one-tail so the area under the rejection region is the significance level. That is,α=0.10

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.

The hypothesis is right-tailed test.

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.

Cell Phones and Cancer In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today). Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.005 significance level. Based on these results, should cell phone users be concerned about cancer of the brain or nervous system?

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 Body Temperatures The claim is that for 12 am body temperatures, the mean is μ<98.6°F.The sample size is n = 4 and the test statistic is t = -2.503.

Critical Values. In Exercises 21–24, refer to the information in the given exercise and do the following.

a. Find the critical value(s).

b. Using a significance level of α= 0.05, should we reject H0or should we fail to reject H0?

Exercise 19

Type I and Type II Errors. In Exercises 29–32, provide statements that identify the type I error and the type II error that correspond to the given claim. (Although conclusions are usually expressed in verbal form, the answers here can be expressed with statements that include symbolic expressions such as p = 0.1.).

The proportion of adults who use the internet is greater than 0.87.

In Exercises 9–12, refer to the exercise identified. Make subjective estimates to decide whether results are significantly low or significantly high, then state a conclusion about the original claim. For example, if the claim is that a coin favours heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favours heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).
