According to one investigator's model, the data are like 400 draws made at random from a large box. The null hypothesis says that the average of the box equals 50; the alternative says that the average of the box is more than 50. In fact, the data averaged out to 52.7, and the SD was 25. Compute z:
Three hundred households are selected at random and divided into three groups A, B and C according to their monthly income. The table below shows the number of households in each group having LED and LCD televisions. We wish to know if we may conclude, on the basis of these data, the type of televisions represent by the samples are not homogeneous with respect to their monthly income. Let α = 0.01.
In this and the next questions, you will conduct simulation studies in R to
explore the concepts we learned for hypothesis testing.
For the first simulation study, use the rnorm () function to generate one random sample
data (with sample size n = 5) from the distribution N(5, 1), and assign this data to an
object called sample1. Then, generate another random sample data (with sample size
n = 5) from the same distribution, and assign this data to an object called sample2.
(a) Write down the five scores in sample1 and the five scores in sample2. Attach the
R code for generating the sample data.
(b) What are the mean score for sample1 and the mean score for for sample2? What
is the difference between these two means?
(c) What is the population mean difference between the two groups of scores? Is it
exactly the same with the sample mean difference? Explain why it is or it isn't the
same.
(d) Use t.test() function to conduct an independent-samples t-test. Our null hypoth-
esis is Ho 1-2 =…
