Answer to Problem 14P

The pooled probability of success for the two experiments is 0.360.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The pooled best estimate for the population probabilities of success is,

p¯=r1+r2n1+n2

Where, r1 is the successes out of n1 trials for the first population, and r2 is the successes out of n2 trials for the second population.

Substitute r1 as 60, r2 as 156, n1 as 200, and n2 as 400 in the estimate formula

p¯=60+156200+400=216600=0.360

Hence, the pooled probability of success for the two experiments is 0.360.

Answer to Problem 14P

The distribution of the sample test statistic normal distribution.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Conditions:

Consider binomial experiment 1 with n1 number of trails, r1 number of success, probability of success for each trail p1 and probability of failure q1=1p1. And binomial experiment 2 with n2 number of trails, r2 number of success, probability of success for each trail p2 and probability of failure q2=1p2.

Also, p^1=r1n1 is the sample proportion of first sample where r1 is the successes out of n1 trials for the first population and p^2=r2n2 is the sample proportion of second sample where r2 is the successes out of n2 trials for the second population.

For sufficiently larger number of trails the following four conditions must be satisfied to use sample test statistic p^1p^2 with z value are,

  • n1p¯>5
  • n1q¯>5
  • n2p¯>5
  • n2q¯>5

Where, p¯=r1+r2n1+n2 is the pooled estimate of proportion, with total number of successes (r1+r2) and total number of trials (n1+n2).

q¯=1p¯ is the pooled estimate of proportion of failure.

Checking conditions:

n1p¯=200(0.36)=72>5

n2p¯=400(0.36)=144>5

n1q¯=n1(1p¯)=200(10.36)=200(0.64)=128>5

n2q¯=n2(1p¯)=400(10.36)=400(0.64)=256>5

It can be observed that two of the conditions n1p¯>5, n2p¯>5, n1q¯>5, n1q¯>5 are satisfied. It is appropriate to use normal distribution.

Hence, the distribution of the sample test statistic normal distribution.

(c)

To determine

State the hypotheses.

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 14P

The hypotheses is,

Null hypothesis: H0:p1=p2.

Alternative hypothesis: H1:p1<p2.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Let p1 denotes the probability of success of the first sample, p2 denotes the probability of success of the first sample.

From the given information the value of α is 0.05, and the claim that the probability of success for the second binomial experiment is greater than that for the first.

The null and alternative hypothesis is,

Null hypothesis:

H0:p1=p2

Alternative hypothesis:

H1:p1<p2

(d)

To determine

Find the value of p^1p^2.

Find the sample distribution value of p^1p^2.

(d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 14P

The value of p^1p^2 is –0.09.

The sample distribution value of p^1p^2 is –2.16.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The two sample z statistic for proportion is,

z=p^1p^2p¯q¯n1+p¯q¯n1

In the formula,

p^1=r1n1 is the sample proportion of first sample where r1 is the successes out of n1 trials for the first population.

p^2=r2n2 is the sample proportion of first sample where r2 is the successes out of n2 trials for the first population.

p¯=r1+r2n1+n2 is the pooled estimate of proportion, with total number of successes (r1+r2) and total number of trials (n1+n2).

q¯=1p¯ is the pooled estimate of proportion of failure.

The value of p^1p^2 is,

p^1p^2=60200156400=0.30.39=0.09

Hence, the value of p^1p^2 is –0.09.

Z-statistic:

Substitute p^1 as 0.3, p^2 as 0.39, p¯ as 0.36, q¯ as 0.64, n1 as 200, and n2 as 400 in the test statistic formula

z=0.30.390.36×0.64200+0.36×0.64400=0.090.0416=2.16

Hence, the sample distribution value of p^1p^2 is –2.16.

(e)

To determine

Find the P-value of the sample test statistic.

Answer to Problem 14P

The P-value of the sample test statistic is 0.1676.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Step by step procedure to obtain P-value using MINITAB software is given below:

  • Choose Graph > Probability Distribution Plot choose View Probability > OK.
  • From Distribution, choose ‘Normal’ distribution.
  • Click the Shaded Area tab.
  • Choose X Value and Left Tail, for the region of the curve to shade.
  • Enter the X value as –2.16.
  • Click OK.

Output using MINITAB software is given below:

Understandable Statistics: Concepts And Methods, Chapter 8.5, Problem 14P

From Minitab output, the P-value is 0.0154.

Hence, the P-value of the sample test statistic is 0.0154.

(f)

To determine

Check whether the null hypothesis is rejecting or fail to reject.

(f)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 14P

The null hypothesis is failed to reject.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

From part (e), the P-value is 0.0154.

Rejection rule:

  • If the P-value is less than or equal to α, then reject the null hypothesis and the test is statistically significant. That is, P-valueα.

Conclusion:

The P-value is 0.0154 and the level of significance is 0.05.

The P-value is less than the level of significance.

That is, 0.0154(=P-value)<0.05(=α).

By the rejection rule, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Hence, the data is statistically significant at level 0.05.

(g)

To determine

Interpret the results.

(g)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

From part (f), the null hypothesis is rejected. This shows that, there is sufficient evidence to conclude the probability of success for the second binomial experiment is greater than that for the first at 0.05 level of significance.
