Question

g You flip the coin 200 times and observed 80 Heads. Recall from the problem Hypothesis Testing: A Sample Data Set of Coin Flips I in the previous lecture that the value of the test statistics Tn for this data set is T200=2.83 . If the test ψ=1(Tn>qα/2) is designed to have asymptotic level 5% , would you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis H0:p∗=1/2 for this data set?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to draw a conclusion from the data given, lets find out the p value using the t score and this will be used to make a conclusion.

If the p value is less than 0.05 then, we will reject the null but if otherwise we will fail to reject the null.

Using a p value calculator with a t score of 2.83, significance level 0.05 and the test is a two tailed test, the p value is 0.004655 which is less than 0.05 and the result is significant.

This we will reject the null hypothesis H0:p∗=1/2 for this data set.
