Suppose the average lifetime of a certain type of car battery is known to be 60 months. Consider conducting a two-sided test on

it based on a sample of size 25 from a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 4 months.a) If the true average lifetime is 62 months and a =0.01, what is the probability of a type II error?b) What is the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability of b(62) = 0.1?

Answer:

a. the probability of a type II  error is 0.5319

b. the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability  is 59.4441

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given; we have:

sample size n = 25

Population standard deviation \sigma = 4

true average lifetime = Sample Mean \bar X = 62

We can state our null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis as follows:

Null hypothesis:

\mathbf{H_o : \mu  = 60}

Alternative hypothesis

\mathbf{H_1 : \mu  \neq 60}

Where ;

∝ = 0.01

From the standard normal tables at critical value ∝ = 0.01 ; the level of significance is -2.575 lower limit and 2.575 upper limit

The z statistics for the lower limit is:

lower \ limit = \dfrac{\bar X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt {n}}}

-2.575= \dfrac{\bar x - 60 }{\dfrac{4}{\sqrt 25}}}

-2.575= \dfrac{\bar x - 60 }{0.8}}}

-2.575*0.8= {\bar x - 60 }{}}}

-2.06= {\bar x - 60 }{}}}

\bar x =  60-2.06

\bar x = 57.94

The z statistics for the upper limit is:

lower \ limit = \dfrac{\bar X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt {n}}}

2.575= \dfrac{\bar x - 60 }{\dfrac{4}{\sqrt 25}}}

2.575= \dfrac{\bar x - 60 }{0.8}}}

2.575*0.8= {\bar x - 60 }{}}}

2.06= {\bar x - 60 }{}}}

\bar x =  60-(-2.06)

\bar x =  60+2.06

\bar x =  62.06

Thus; the probability of a type II error is determined as follows:

β = P (  57.94 < \bar x  < 62.06 )

= P ( \dfrac{57.94 -62 }{\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{25}}}

= P ( \dfrac{-4.06 }{0.8}}

= P ( -5.08 < Z < 0.08 )

= P ( Z < 0.08) - P ( Z < - 5.08)

Using Excel Function: [ (=NORMDIST (0.08)) - (=NORMDIST(-5.08)) ] ; we have:

= 0.531881372 - 0.00000001887

= 0.531881183

≅ 0.5319

b.

What is the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability of b(62) = 0.1

Recall that:

The critical value of ∝ = 2.575  ( i. e   Z_{1 - \alpha/2 } = 2.575  )

Now ;

the critical value of β is :

Z _{1- \beta} = 1.28

The  required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability  is therefore determined as :

n = [\dfrac{(Z_{1 - \alpha/2} + Z_{1 - \beta} ) \sigma }{\delta}]^2

n = [\dfrac{(2.575+1.28 ) 4 }{2}]^2

n = [\dfrac{(3.855 ) 4 }{2}]^2

n = [\dfrac{(15.42 ) }{2}]^2

n = 7.71 ²

n= 59.4441

Thus; the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability  is 59.4441

Y=-5over4x+7 what is the slope pf a line parallel to this line? What is the slope of a line perpendicular?
quester [9]
You question isn't clear, but I assume that you are asking for the slop of a line parallel to y=-(5/4)(x)+7.
The line parallel would have a slop of -5/7 and the line perpendicular would have a slop of 5/7. 
The difference between the two answers is the sign of the two slopes, one is positive the other is negative

amber owns a skateboard shop. amber wants to buy one thousand eight hundred forty six skateboard wheels. skateboard wheels sell
Sonbull [250]
Amber spends $5,307.25 and she can make 461 skateboards.
Divide 1846 by 2 and you get 923, you then multiply that by $5.75 and get $5,307.25. 
Then, you'll divide 1,845 by 4 and get 461.5. (she can only make 461 full skateboards.)
