Each of a group of 20 intermediate tennis players is given two rackets, one having nylon strings and the other synthetic gut str

ings. After several weeks of playing with the two rackets, each player will be asked to state a preference for one of the two types of strings. Let p denote the proportion of all such players who would prefer gut to nylon, and let X be the number of players in the sample who prefer gut. Because gut strings are more expensive, consider the null hypothesis that at most 50% of all such players prefer gut. We simplify this to H0: p = .5, planning to reject H0 only if sample evidence strongly favors gut strings.
a. Is a significance level of exactly .05 achievable? If not, what is the largest a smaller than .05 that is achievable?
b. If 60% of all enthusiasts prefer gut, calculate the probability of a type II error using the significance level from part (a). Repeat if 80% of all enthusiasts prefer gut.
c. If 13 out of the 20 players prefer gut, should H0 be rejected using the significance level of (a)?

Answer:

Find answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: P <= 0.5

Ha: P > 0.5

, the number who prefer gut strings is <= a number or the test tends towards the  left-tailed.

{0,1,2,3,4,5} ;  

{15,16,17,18,19,20} is a right-tailed test and not appropriate for H0:

{ 0,1,2,3,17,18,19,20} is two-tailed and not appropriate for H0:

b)

Does the region specify a level .05 test? No

 

P = proportion who prefer gut strings to nylon

P = X /20

Assume alpha = 0.05

z(alpha) = -1.645

Reject if (x/20 - 0.5) / sqrt[ (0.5)(0.5)/20 ] < -1.645

Reject if (x/20 - 0.5) <  < (-1.645) sqrt ( (0.5)(0.5)/20 )

Reject if x/20   < (-1.645) sqrt ( (0.5)(0.5)/20 ) + 0.5

Reject if x/20   < 0.316

Reject if x   < (0.316)(20) = 6.32

{0,1,2,3,4,5,6} is the region for the best level 0.05 test

c)

According to (a),  reject H0 if x <= 5

P( Type II error) = P( do not reject H0/ when Ha is true)

P( Type II error) = P( x > 5/ P=0.6)

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quintillion = 10¹⁸ or (1000000000000000000)

∴ 12 quintillion = 12 × 10¹⁸

12 quintillion = 10,000 × Number of ants on Earth

Let the number of ants on Earth = n

12 quintillion = 10,000 × n

dividing both sides by 10,000

12 quintillion ÷ 10,000 = n

n = \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10,000} \\n =  \frac{12\ \times\ 10^{18} }{10^{4}}\\n = 12\ \times\ \frac{10^{18}}{10^{4}} \\applying\ the\ second\ law\ of\ indices\ (\frac{x^m}{x^n} = x ^{m-n})\\ n = 12\ \times\ 10^{(18 - 4)\\n = 12\ \times 10^{14}\\in\ standard\ form\\n = 1.2\ \times 10\ \times\ 10^{14}\\\therefore n = 1.2\ \times\ 10^{15}

Number on ants on Earth = 1.2 × 10¹⁵
