I want to make a test whether the average weight of the students in the college is greater than 60 kg or not, i.e., we want to test the following hypothesis ?0 : ? = 60 vs ?1 : ? > 60. I will make the test using ?̅ as our test statistic and reject the null hypothesis if ?̅ ≥ 62. Take σ=10 and assume i will pick 50 students.

1) What is type 1 error that we commit with this rejection region?

2.) What is the power of the test for ? = 61?

Suppose the Dean of our college claims that, the average GPA for all students in the college is at least 3.00, with standard deviation 0.4.  However, from a class with 25 students, we find the class average GPA is 2.80.  Can we reject the dean’s claim at significance level 0.05?

Absentee rates - Friday vs Wednesday: We want to test whether or not more students are absent on Friday afternoon classes than on Wednesday afternoon classes. In a random sample of 302 students with Friday afternoon classes, 48 missed the class. In a different random sample of 307 students with Wednesday afternoon classes, 30 missed the class. The table below summarizes this information. The standard error (SE) is given to save calculation time if you are not using software. Data...

Assume that you want to test the hypothesis that the mean weight of the male student population is 160 lbs. If we assume that the standard deviation has a known value of 12 lbs and we want to test with a confidence level of 95% a. What sample size should we use if we want one to have a probability of making a type II error of no more than 5% in the test when the actual mean is 162...

You wish to test the hypothesis that female college students spend more on wearing apparel than male college students. Which of the following is INCORRECT? The null and alternate hypotheses are: Ho : mF < = mM HA : mF > mM If you concluded that female students spend more than male students when in fact there is no difference between the two groups, you would be committing a Type II error. If we conclude that females spend less than...

For the following hypothesis test, where H0: μ ≤ 10; vs. HA: μ > 10, we reject H0 at level of significance α and conclude that the true mean is greater than 10, when the true mean is really 14. Based on this information, we can state that we have: Made a Type I error. Made a Type II error. Made a correct decision. Increased the power of the test.

A national publication reported that a college student living away from home spends, on average, no more than $15 per month on laundry. You believe this figure is too low and want to disprove this claim. To conduct the test, you randomly select 19 college students and ask them to keep track of the amount of money they spend during a given month for laundry. The sample produces an average expenditure on laundry of $19.38, with a population standard deviation...
