Answer to Problem 28E

There is sufficient evidence to infer that the sequence of the people who were tested for drivers wear glasses or contact lenses is random.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data represents the sequence of the people who were tested for drivers who wear glasses (G) or contact lenses(C). The level of significance is α=0.05 .

Calculation:

The testing hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

 H0: The sequence of the people who were tested for drivers is random.

Alternative hypothesis:

H1: The sequence of the people who were tested for drivers is not random.

Critical value:

Here, the test is two tailed test.

For the level of significance α=0.05 ,

From the data it can be seen that there are 31 C’s and 19 G’s.

That is, the sizes are n1=31 and n2=19 .

From Table E, The Standard Normal Distribution, the critical value that corresponds to the level of significance α=0.05 and ±1.96 .

Thus, the critical value is ±1.96 .

Test statistic:

The number of runs for the given sequence is obtained as follows:

The list of the runs is,

Run Letters
1 G
2 C,C,C
3 G
4 C,C
5 G,G
6 C,C,C
7 G,G
8 C
9 G
10 C,C
11 G,G
12 C,C,C
13 G,G
14 C,C
15 G
16 C
17 G
18 C,C,C,C
19 G
20 C
21 G,G,G,G
22 C,C,C,C,C,C,C,C,C
23 G

Here, the number of runs is G=23 .

The mean number of runs is,

μG=2n1n2n1+n2+1=2×31×1931+19+1=1,17850+1=24.56

The standard deviation of runs is,

σG=2n1n2(2n1n2n1n2)(n1+n2)2(n1+n21)=(2×31×19)((2×31×19)3119)(31+19)2(31+191)=1,178×1,1282,500×49=1,328,784122,500

     =10.8472=3.2935

The test statistic value is,

z=GμGσG=2324.563.2935=1.563.2935=0.4736

Hence, the test value is z=0.4736

Decision rule:

  • If the negative test value is less than the negative critical value, then reject the null hypothesis H0 .
  • If the negative test value is greater than the negative critical value, then fail to reject the null hypothesis H0 .

Conclusion:

The test value is, z=0.4736 and the critical value is -1.96.

Here, the negative test statistic value is greater than the negative critical value.

That is, 0.4736(=z)>1.96(=criticalvalue)

By the rejection rule “failed to reject the null hypotheses”.

Thus, it can be concluded that there is enough evidence to support the claim that the sequence of the people who were tested for drivers wear glasses or contact lenses is random.

A retail chain is interested in determining whether a digital video point-of-purchase (POP) display would stimulate higher sales for a brand advertised compared to the standard cardboard point-of-purchase display. To test this, a one-shot static group design experiment was conducted over a four-week period in 100 different stores. Fifty stores were randomly assigned to the control treatment (standard display) and the other 50 stores were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment (digital display). Compare the sales of the control group (standard POP) to the experimental group (digital POP). What were the average sales for the standard POP display (control group)? What were the sales for the digital display (experimental group)? What is the (mean) difference in sales between the experimental group and control group? List the null hypothesis being tested. Do you reject or retain the null hypothesis based on the results of the independent t-test? Was the difference between the…
