Chapter 10.4, Problem 37E
Refer to Exercise 10.19. If the voltage falls as low as 128, serious consequences may result. For testing H0: μ = 130 versus Hα : μ = 128, find the probability of a type II error, β, for the rejection region used in Exercise 10.19.
10.19 The output voltage for an electric circuit is specified to be 130. A sample of 40 independent readings on the voltage for this circuit gave a sample

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of μ=8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of x=7.3 ppb arsenic. It is known that σ=1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use α=0.01
What is the hypotheses for this problem?
A: Ho μ =7.3ppb vs HA μ < 7.3ppb
B: Ho μ <7.3ppb vs HA μ ≥ 7.3ppb
C: Ho μ =8.0ppb vs HA μ < 8.0ppb
D: Ho μ <8.0ppb vs HA μ ≥ 8.0ppb
Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 32 PlayStation users had an average age of 33.7 years while a random sample of 36 Xbox users had an average age of 35.6 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.7 and 3.5 years, respectively. Sony would like to set alpha 0.10. If Population 1 is defined as PlayStation users and Population 2 is defined as Xbox users, the test statistic for this hypothesis test would be?
. Differences of electric potential occur naturally from point to point on a body’s skin. Researchers used newts to determine if changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts. The researchers found in a sample of 14 newts the following data results: ?̅= −5.714 with sd = 10.564. Conduct a paired t-test at α = .01 to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts.

- Suppose a golfer claims that her drive distance is not equal to 232 meters, on average. Several of her friends do not believe her, so the golfer decides to do a hypothesis test, at a 10% significance level, to persuade them. She hits 21 drives. The mean distance of the sample drives is 239 meters. The golfer knows from experience that the standard deviation for her drive distance is 15 meters. H0: μ=232; Ha: μ≠232 α=0.1 (significance level) What is the test statistic (z-score) of this one-mean hypothesis test, rounded to two decimal places?arrow_forwardCindy is a server at a local restaurant who makes, on average, $58 in tips per daytime shift. Cindy thinks she will make more if she moves to the nighttime shift. Her manager will choose five random nighttime shifts for Cindy to work. Cindy plans to conduct a significance test on the hypotheses H0: mu = 58; Ha: mu > 58 at the alpha = 0.05 level, where is the true mean amount of tips Cindy will make working nighttime shifts. Are the conditions for performing the test met? No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the sample size is too small, and a Normal distribution cannot be assumed. Yes, all conditions are met for performing a significance test about the mean. Yes, only the random condition must be met in order to perform a significance test. No, there is no way the manager could choose a random sample of shifts to work.arrow_forwardThe average UQ student reports dedicating 8.5 hours per week to each 2-unit course.
