Q2. Suppose that X is a random variable with the probability density function f(x,0) = 0x-1,0 < x < 1. In order to test the null hypothesis Ho : 0 = 2 against H₁ : 0 = 3, the following test is used : “Reject H₁ if X₁ ≥ ½”, where X₁ is a random sample of size 1 drawn from the above distribution. Then the power of the test is (A) 0.875 (B) 0.5 (C) 0.33 (D) 0.75
Answer: (A) 0.875

Q3. A random sample of 500 registered voters in Phoenix is asked if they favor the use of oxygenated fuels year-round to reduce air pollution. If more than 400 voters respond positively, we will conclude that more than 60% of the voters favor the use of these fuels, i.e., we are testing Ho : p = 0.6 vs H₁ : p = 0.6 What is the type II error probability if 75% of the voters favor this action? (use normal approximation to the binomial). (A) 0.004911 (B) 0.9951 (C) 0.00589 (D) 0.99647
Answer: (A) 0.004911
Q4. A textile fiber manufacturer is investigating a new drapery yarn, which the company claims follows a normal distribution having mean thread elongation of 12 cms with a standard deviation of 0.5cm. The company wishes to test the hypothesis Ho : μ = 12 against H₁ : μ< 12, using a random sample of four specimens. What is the type I error probability if the critical region is defined as x < 11.5 cms. (A) 0.0227 (B) 0.1569 (C) 0.0358 (D) 0.0587

Q6. The proportion of adults living in Tempe, Arizona, who are college graduates is estimated to be p = 0.4. To test this hypothesis, a random sample of 20 Tempe adults is selected. If the number of college graduates is between 4 and 8 (endpoints included), the hypothesis will be accepted; otherwise we will conclude that p = 0.4. Find the type I error probability for this procedure assuming p = 0.4. (A) 0.0339 (B) 0.5 (C) 0.5339 (D) 0.4225
Answer: (C) 0.5339
