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.

Fifteen less than twice a number is 21.<br> What is the missing number? |
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean  or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

Is 8/12 greater than 10/15?<br><br> and how do you know?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

no, they are equal. we know this because when reducing both they are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the least common denominator

that's 3

reduce fractions until the denominator is both 3

we get 2/3 and 2/3. the proportions are equal.

Circle A has center of (2, 8), and a radius of 2 and circle B has a center of (5, 4), and a radius of 10. What steps will help s
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1. Translate circle A using the rule (x − 3, y + 4).

4. Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

All circles are similar figures

step 1

Translate the center of circle A to the center of circle B

we have

A(2,8) -----> B(5,4)

so

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ----> (x+a,y+b)

(2,8) ----> (2+a,8+b)

2+a=5 ----> a=5-2=3

8+b=4 ---> b=4-8=-4

therefore

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ----> (x+3,y-4)

step 2

Divide the radius of circle B to the radius of circle A to find out the scale factor

10/2=5

so

Multiply the radius of circle A by the scale factor to obtain the radius of circle B

therefore

Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 5

Forty students took a statistics exam having a maximum of 50 points. The distribution of score is given in the stem-and-leaf plo
Aneli [31]

Based on the fact that Tess's score was 25 in the statistics exam as shown by the stem-and-leaf plot, her Tess's percentile was 30th.

<h3>What was Tess's percentile?</h3>

Tess's percentile depends on the number of people whose scores she is above.

When looking at the stem-and-leaf plot, we see that Tess's score of 25 is the 13th score.

Her percentile is therefore:

= (13 - 1) / 40

= 12 / 40

= 30th percentile

Rest of the question is:

Tess’s score was 25. What was her percentile?
