Suppose X1, · · · , Xn from a normal distribution N(µ, σ2 ) where µ is unknown but σ is known. Consider the following hypothesis testing problem:
H0 : µ = µ0 vs. Ha : µ > µ0
Prove that the decision rule is that we reject H0 if
X¯ − µ0 σ/√ n > Z(1 − α),
where α is the significant level, and show that this is equivalent to rejecting H0 if µ0 is less than the 100(1 − α)% lower confidence bound for µ.
