A manufacturer of interocular lenses is qualifying a new grinding machine and will qualify the machine if there is evidence that the percentage of polished lenses that contain surface defects does not exceed 3%. A random sample of 300 lenses contains 8 defective lenses. Use α = 0.01.
Suppose that the percentage of defective lenses is actually 2%. What is the β-error for this test?
Suppose that a β-error of 0.05 is acceptable if the true percentage is 2%. What is the required sample size?
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results (higher values indicate larger reductions in pain levels) are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group.
treatment /sham
sample size. / 19 / 16
mean. / 10 / 12
standard deviation /3 / 4
Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Use the critical value method and a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the treatment mean measure of reduction in back pain is equal to the sham mean measure of reduction in back pain. (Hint: Consider statistictreatment-statisticsham.)
Enter the smallest critical value. (Round your answer to nearest thousandth.)

- An article claimed that "those with a college degree reported a higher incidence of sunburn than those without a high school degree—45 percent versus 26 percent." For purposes of this exercise, suppose that these percentages were based on random samples of size 200 from each of the two groups of interest (college graduates and those without a high school degree). Is there convincing evidence that the proportion who experience a sunburn is higher for college graduates than it is for those without a high school degree?

Stock with beta coefficients greater than 1 generally bear greater risk(more volatility) than the market, whereas stocks with beta coefficients less than 1 are lessrisky (less volatile) than the overall market. A random sample of 15 high-technology stockswas selected at the end of 2007, and the mean and standard deviation of the betacoefficients were calculated: sample mean, X = 1.23, sample standard deviation, S=.37 A. Set up the appropriate null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis to test whether the average high technology stock is riskier than the market as a whole. B.
