Question

1. The level of significance should be determined based on the observed data. True or False? Why?

2. Mark obtained a p-value of 0.06. In order to establish the desirable result he wanted (i.e., reject H0), he set = 0.1 instead of = 0.05. What Mark did was legitimate. True or False? Why?

3. If H0 : µ 10 is true, observing X <¯ 5 is less plausible than observing X <¯ 6. True or False? Why?

4.To test H0 : µ 10 with an observed sample mean X¯ = 11, the p-value is “the probability of X¯ 11 given µ = 10”. True or False? Why?

5. To test H0 : µ = 0 with an observed sample mean X¯ = 2, the p-value is “the probability of X¯ 2 given µ = 0”. True or False? Why?

Explanation / Answer

1.

The level of significance should be fixed by reseacher. So given statement is false.

3.

True.

Because popualtion mean is greater than equal to 10 and sample mean 6 is nearer to 10 in comparison to sampel mean 5.

4.

False

the p-value is “the probability of X¯ < 11 given µ = 10”

5.

False

the p-value is “2 times the the probability of X¯ > 2 given µ = 0”
