Texas A&M Homework Assignment # 7 Chapter 9 DUE DATE: Thursday March 22nd, 2012 Noon (e-mail) HYPOTHESIS TESTING Answer the questions below: Place you name at the top of the page. Save this document as First Name followed by first three letters of last name followed by Assign 7 followed by Stats-MW. EXAMPLE: My name is Alan Preston so I would save this document with my answers as AlanPre-Assign 7-STATS-MW. E-mail it to Apreston@Tamusa.tamus.edu on the due date and time. Include a hyperlink (like the one I did for my e-mail address) right below your full printed name on the Right hand side, top of the page. When you e-mail the answers, please place in the subject line the following: First Name-first 3 letters of your last name- MW Assign 7 (example: AlanPre-Assign 7-STATS-MW)

1) Suppose that we wish to test H0: = 80 versus Ha: > 80, where s is known to equal 20. Also, suppose that a sample of n = 100 measurements randomly selected from the population has a mean of = 84: a) Calculate the value of the test statistic z. (Show your worki.e. typed like the example I gave in class)
z n H0
z = x -0 x

b) By comparing z with a critical value, test H0 versus Ha at = .05.

z0.05 = 1.645 2 > 1.645 Reject H0 with = 0.05

c)

Calculate the p-value for testing H0 versus Ha. (Show your worki.e. typed like the example I gave in class)

e) How much evidence is there that H0: = 80 is false and Ha: > 80 is true?

p< 0.05, there is strong evidence to reject rejectH0 H0

2) Suppose that we wish to test H0: = 40 versus Ha: 40, where is known to equal 18. Also, suppose that a sample of n = 81 measurements randomly selected from the population has a mean of =34: a) Calculate the value of the test statistic z.
