Consider a signal detection problem involving two hypotheses:\[\mathcal{H}_0 : \vec{X} = \vec{W}\]and\[\mathcal{H}_1 : \vec{X} = \vec{s} + \vec{W},\]where\[\vec{s} = \begin{bmatrix}1 \\2 \\3 \\4 \\\end{bmatrix}\]is a known signal vector, and \(\vec{W}\) is a vector consisting of independent Gaussian random variables with mean 0 and variance 1. Suppose a priori that these two hypotheses are equally likely; that is \(P(\mathcal{H}_0) = P(\mathcal{H}_1) = 0.5\). Suppose we observe \(\vec{X}\), but based on \(\vec{X}\) we still determine that the two hypotheses are equally likely. What must be true about \(\vec{X}\)?

A possible important environmental determinant of lung function in children is the amount of cigarette smoking in the home. Suppose this question is studied by selecting two groups: Group 1 consists of 23 nonsmoking children 5−9 years of age, both of whose parents smoke, who have a mean forced expiratory volume (FEV) of 2.1 L and a standard deviation of 0.7 L; group 2 consists of 20 nonsmoking children of comparable age, neither of whose parents smoke, who have a mean FEV of 2.3 L and a standard deviation of 0.4 L. A) What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to compare the means of the two groups? B) What is the appropriate test procedure for the hypotheses in Problem A? C) Carry out the test in Problem B using the criticalvalue method. D) Provide a 95% CI for the true mean difference in FEV between 5- to 9-year-old children whose parents smoke and comparable children whose parents do not smoke.

A large population (consisting of measurements of diameters of ball bearings) has mean u and standard deviation o, neither of which is perfectly known. A random sample of size n = 25 observations will be taken, namely the diameters U1, U2, ·.., U25 will be observed. In other words, U1, U2, · .., U25 are independent and identically distributed random variables with u = E(U1) and Var(U1) = o². No further knowledge about the shape of the distribution is known.

In this problem, we consider target detection in a radar system. Upon observing a realization a of the random variable X which represents the return signal in noise, a decision has to be made as to whether the target is present or absent. The target amplitude is known and equal to A > 0. The observation is made in zero-mean Gaussian noise W whose variance is known and equal to 2. If the target is present (hypothesis H1), X = A+W. If the target is absent (hypothesis Ho), X = W . The likelihood ratio test for this problem is stated as follows: If fi (x)/fo(x) > n= decide in favor of H1; otherwise, decide in favor of Ho.lf n = 1, determine the probability of correct detection (target declared present when indeed present) and the probability of false alarm (target declared present when in fact absent). Express these probabilities in terms of the ratio a = A/o. If a = 4, which of the following represents the correct probabilities of false alarm and correct detection, respectively? O None of…
