Chapter 8, Problem 4CQQ

Normality For the hypothesis test in Exercise 1, what does it mean when we say that the test is robust against departures from normality?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

Robust What does it mean when we say that the F test described in this section is not robust against departures from normality?

Hypothesis Test is conjectured that the proportion of all people who went trick-or-treating who also had a pumpkin carved into a jack-o'-lantern at their home is 0.62. Of interest is to test this claim versus the alternative that the proportion of all people who went trick-or-treating who also had a pumpkin carved into a jack-o'-lantern at their home is less than 0.62. A simple random sample of 270 people who went trick-or-treating is selected, and 162 of them also had a pumpkin carved into a jack-o'-lantern at their home (and the other 108 did not). If appropriate, use this information to test if the proportion of all people who went trick-or-treating who also had a pumpkin carved into a jack-o'-lantern at their home is less than 0.62 at the a = .10 level of significance. Which of the following provides both the correct null and the correct alternative hypothesis for this situation? НО: п = 0.62 Ha: π 0.62, Ha::n 0.58 Ha:: π < 0.62
