- STAT 3128 Homeowrk Section Question 1. Let u denote the true average radioactivity level (picocuries per liter). The value 5 pci/L is considered the dividing line between safe and unsafe water. Would you recommend testing Ho: μ = 5 versus Ha: > 5 or Ho μ = 5 versus Ha: μ 5. A type II error in this case involves deciding the water is safe when it isn't. This is a very serious error, so a test which ensures that this error is highly unlikely is desirable. We prefer that the most serious error be a type II error because it can be explicitly controlled. One should test Ho: μ = 5 versus Ha> 5.

- Question Let X - N(ux, ož) and Y - N(uy, o) where all parameters are not known. We would like to know if it is reasonable to assume that o = o. From 6 observations of X, we calculate a sample mean of 0.31 and a sample variance of 0.0526. From 8 observations of Y, we calculate a sample mean of 4.97 and a sample variance of 0.0612. Use an appropriate hypothesis test to investigate the equality of the variances.
