Question
Suppose that we want to see if the probability of being
left-handed is different for men...
Suppose that we want to see if the probability of being
left-handed is different for men than it is for women. And suppose
that 472 students in this class each test this hypothesis at the 2%
significance level using their own personalized class data
set.
(a)
If the probability of being left-handed is in fact the same for
men as it is for women, how many students (on average) would reject
the null hypothesis, and falsely conclude that the probability of
being left-handed is different for men than for women?
(Assume that each student does the analysis correctly.)
(b)
If the probability of being left-handed is in fact different
for men than for women, how many students (on average) would fail
to reject the null hypotheis?
(Assume that each student does the analysis correctly.)
answers for A
(A) Impossible to tell because the probability of Type II error
is unknown. (B) 9 (C) 5 (D) 463 (E) Impossible to tell because the
probability of Type I error is unknown. (F) 24 (G) 448 (H) 0 (I)
467
answers for B
(A) 463 (B) 24 (C) 0 (D) 9 (E) 448 (F) Impossible to tell
because the probability of Type I error is unknown. (G) 467 (H)
Impossible to tell becaue the probability of Type II error is
unknown. (I) 5
