(weeks)For example, suppose we are interested in testing the hypothesis that the true value of
p isa specific number, say, po, with a certain value of 2. We can proceed to make a
decision by following the procedure given next.
HYPOTHESIS TEST FOR p
One-sided test Two-sided test
Ho: p= Po Ho: p= Po
Ha: p> po OF Ha! p= po
Ha! PZa2
Z>Z, (upper tail region)
2<~—z2, (lower tail region)
Decision: If z falls in the rejection region, reject the null hypothesis at confidence level «.
Assumption: (X, Y) follow the bivariate normal, and this test procedure is approximate.For the data given in Example 82.1, would you say tha the variables X and Yare independent? Use
Hy: p=0 versus Hyp 20.
From Example 8.2.1, e have the following sunmary
