Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis that a coin is fair: p = 1/2. We do n flips and observe k heads; it turns out k is greater than the expected mean μ = (1/2)n. In fact k is more than 3 standard deviations above the mean: k > μ + 3σ. Which of the following must be true then?
Not enough information is given.
k > .7n
.55n ≥ k > .51n
.6n ≥ k > .55n
.7n ≥ k > .6n

Question 2 Suppose you have a fair coin (a coin is considered fair if there is an equal probability of being heads or tails after a flip). In other words, each coin flip i follows an independent Bernoulli distribution X Ber(1/2). Define the random variable X, as: i if coin flip i results in heads 10 if coin flip i results in tails a. Suppose you flip the coin n = 10 times. Define the number of heads you observe...

2. Suppose we want to test whether a coin is fair (that is, the probability of heads is p = .5). We toss the coin 1000 times, and record the number of heads. Let T denote the number of heads divided by 1000. Consider a test that rejects the null hypothesis that p=.5 if T > c. (a) Write down a formula for P(T>c) assuming p = 0.5. (This formula may be compli- cated, but try to give an explicit...

In order to test whether a certain coin is fair, it is tossed ten times and the number of heads (X) is counted. Let p be the "head probability". We wish to test the null hypothesis: p = 0.5 against the alternative hypothesis: p > 0.5 at a significance level of 5%. (a) Suppose we will reject the null hypothesis when X is smaller than h. Find the value of h. (b) What is the probability of committing a type...

For this question, you will flip fair coin to take some samples and analyze them. First, take any fair coin and flip it 12 times. Count the number of heads out of the 12 flips. This is your first sample. Do this 4 more times and count the number of heads out of the 12 flips in each sample. Thus, you should have 5 samples of 12 flips each. The important number is the number of heads in each sample...

1) In hypothesis testing, the region of rejection of the null hypothesis will always be smaller than the region of acceptance of the null hypothesis. True or False? One-sample tests use data drawn from a single sample to test that the sample comes from a specified population. True or False? A study of more than 20,000 mothers of newborns revealed a 10% greater likelihood of purchase by mothers of boys versus mothers of girls. The null hypothesis is: "Mothers of...

Suppose that we are testing the null hypothesis that μ = 68 versus the alternative that μ < 68. We take a sample of size 36 and find a sample average of = 63.4 and a sample standard deviation of s = 12.6. Determine the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test of one population mean. t = -2.19 t = -0.37 t = 0.37 t = 2.19
