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.

Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in que
vovangra [49]

Answer:

$4f

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume f represents the number of pounds of fruit.

We need to multiply the number of pounds of fruit by the cost per pound.

This is $f * 4, or in a simpler form, $4f.

Dean has a spinner that is divided into 4 equal sections are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Dean spun the spinner 60 times. He recorded
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Dean recorded the results of spinning the spinner 60 times:

  • Number  1 spun 12 times
  • Number  2 spun 17 times
  • Number  3 spun 15 times
  • Number  4 spun 16 times

The <u>experimental probability</u> is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

Find all experimental probabilities:

P_{1}=\dfrac{12}{60}=\dfrac{1}{5}\\ \\P_{2}=\dfrac{17}{60}\\ \\P_3=\dfrac{15}{60}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ \\P_4=\dfrac{16}{60}=\dfrac{4}{15}

Hence, option B is correct
