A programmer has developed a random number generator that gives a normally distributed set of results based on an input population mean and population standard deviation. To test the program, he inputs a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 5. He generates 23 random numbers with a sample mean of 21.7 and a sample deviation of 5. He wants to test with 95% confidence whether or not this sample has the correct mean of 20. Which of these is the appropriate null hypothesis? (Ho: u = 20 or Ho: u =21.7)

A random sample of n = 25 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 20, and a treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. After the treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 22.2, with SS =384. Based on the sample data, does the treatment have a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. Write the hypothesis test out on a homework worksheet so that you can check your work. Then answer the question below: What is the critical value?
Test the given hypothesis. Assume that the population is normally distributed and that the sample has been randomly selected. A manufacturer uses a new production method to produce steel rods. A random sample of 37 steel rods resulted in lengths with a mean a+1 and standard deviation of 4.7 cm. At the 0.10 significance level, test the claim that the new production method has mean 5.5 cm, which was the mean for the old method. a=2

Use the t-distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from random samples, and if the sample sizes are small, assume the underlying distributions are relatively normal.

A student stated: “I fail to see why the response function needs to be constrained between 0 and 1 when the response variable is binary and has a Bernoulli distribution. The fit to 0, 1 data will take care of this problem for any response function.” Comment.

If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?
Two independent samples have been selected, 7777 observations from population 1 and 5858 observations from population 2. The sample means have been calculated to be ?⎯⎯⎯1=13.4x¯1=13.4 and ?⎯⎯⎯2=11.3x¯2=11.3. From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are ?21=27σ12=27 and ?22=29σ22=29. For the hypothesis test of ?0:(?1−?2)=1.8H0:(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and ??:(?1−?2)≠1.8Ha:(μ1−μ2)≠1.8 Use ?=0.04α=0.04.

There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that (?1−?2)=1.8(μ1−μ2)=1.8 and accept that (?1−?2)≠1.8(μ1−μ2)≠1.8.
Let Y1 and Y2 be independent random variables with unknown mean μ and known variance σ2 =1. Which of the following two estimators of μ has smaller MSE? Justify your answer.
Suppose we are interested in investigating the mean of a normally distributed population. As part of the investigation, we intend to draw a sample of 1400 observations from this population and carry out a test of the null hypothesis Ho : µ =450 against a two-sided alternative hypothesis. Suppose that in reality, the population mean is 450. On average, what will the p-value equal? (Give your numeric response to at least 3 decimal places.
