Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 1CT

Take this test as you would take a test in class.

For each exercise, perform the steps below.

(a) Identify the claim and state H₀, and H_α.
(b) Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, and whether to use a z-test or a t-test. Explain your reasoning.
(c) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region (s).
(d) Find the appropriate standardized test statistic.
(e) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(f) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

1. In a survey of 5000 students taking the SAT, 350 were undecided on an intended college major. In another survey of 12,000 students taken 10 years before, 360 were undecided on an intended college major. At α = 0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of students taking the SAT who are undecided on an intended college major has not changed? (Adapted from The College Board)

1- Let A = {A1, A2, ...), in which A, A, = 0, when i j. a) Is A a π-system? If not, which element(s) should be added to A to become a π-system? b) Prove that σ(A) consists of the finite or countable unions of elements of A; i.c., A E σ(A) if and only if there exists finite or countable sequence {n} such that A = U₁An (Hint: Let F be such class; prove that F is a σ-filed containing A.) c) Let p ≥ 0 be a sequence of non-negative real numbers with Σip₁ = 1. Using p₁'s, how do you construct a probability measure on σ(A)? (Hint: use extension theorem.) 2- Construct an example for which P(lim sup A,) = 1 and P(lim inf An) = 0.

In a town with 5000 adults, a sample of 50 is selected using SRSWOR and asked their opinion of a proposed municipal project; 30 are found to favor it and 20 oppose it. If, in fact, the adults of the town were equally divided on the proposal, what would be the probability of observing what has been observed? Approximate using the Binomial distribution. Compare this with the exact probability which is 0.0418.
