A coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that

the probability is not 0.5. The test rejects the null hypothesis if either 0 or 10 heads are observed.
(a) What is the significance level of the test?
(b) If, in fact, the probability of heads is 0.1, what is the power of the test?

Answer:

(a) The significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) The power of the test is 0.3487.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that the probability is not 0.5.

The test rejects the null hypothesis if either 0 or 10 heads are observed.

Let p = <u><em>probability of obtaining head.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.5

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 0.5

(a) The significance level of the test which is represented by \alpha is the probability of Type I error.

Type I error states the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is true.

Here, the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis means we obtain the probability of observing either 0 or 10 heads, that is;

            P(Type I error) = \alpha

         P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

Also, the event of obtaining heads when a coin is thrown 10 times can be considered as a binomial experiment.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.5)

P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

\binom{10}{0}\times 0.5^{0} \times (1-0.5)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.5^{10} \times (1-0.5)^{10-10}  = \alpha

(1\times 1\times 0.5^{10})  +(1 \times 0.5^{10} \times 0.5^{0}) = \alpha

\alpha = 0.0019

So, the significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) It is stated that the probability of heads is 0.1, and we have to find the power of the test.

Here the Type II error is used which states the probability of accepting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is false.

Also, the power of the test is represented by (1 - \beta).

So, here, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.1)

1-\beta = P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true)

1-\beta = \binom{10}{0}\times 0.1^{0} \times (1-0.1)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.1^{10} \times (1-0.1)^{10-10}  

1-\beta = (1\times 1\times 0.9^{10})  +(1 \times 0.1^{10} \times 0.9^{0})

1-\beta = 0.3487

Hence, the power of the test is 0.3487.

Line segment TS is tangent to circle O at point N.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

  148°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the intercepted arc QN is twice the measure of inscribed angle QNT.

  arc QN = 2(74°) = 148°

_____

<em>Comment on the question and answer</em>

Your description "on the circle between points Q and N" is ambiguous. You used the same description for both points P and R. The interpretation we used is shown in the attachment. If point P is on the long arc NQ, then the measure of arc QPN will be the difference between 148° and 360°, hence 212°. You need to choose the answer that matches the diagram you have.

__

We call angle QNT an "inscribed angle" because it is a degenerate case of an inscribed angle. The usual case has the vertex of the angle separate from the ends of the arc it intercepts. In the case of a tangent meeting a chord, the vertex is coincident with one of the ends of the intercepted arc. The relation between angle measure and arc measure remains the same: 1 : 2.

Solve y = x - 5 if the domain is -3
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the x values so x=-3

y = x-5

Substituting x=-3

y = -3-5

y=-8
