Answer #1
  • Here, we are to test:
    HO : μι - μ2 = 0 v/s H, :μι - μ2 40 .
  • The test statistic under known variance is given by:
    T=\frac{\overline{x_1}-\overline{x_2}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}}
    Now,
    n_1=18
    n_2=16
    \overline{x_1}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{18}x_{1_i}}{18}=\frac{617 }{18}=34.27777778
    \overline{x_2}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{16}x_{2_i}}{16}=\frac{507 }{16}=31.6875

    Now, putting in the values, we get,
    T=\frac{34.27777778 -31.6875 }{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}}=2.781067936\approx 2.7811

  • P-value
    The p-value is calculated as:
    2*min(P(Z>|T|),P(Z<-|T|))
    Now,
    P(Z>2.7811)
    =1-P(Z<2.7811)
    =1-\Phi(2.7811)
    =1-0.99795477
    =0.00204523
    Also,
    P(Z<-2.7811)
    =\Phi(-2.7811)
    =0.00204523

    Hence, the p-value is:
    2*0.00204523 =0.00409046

  • The 95% Confidenc Interval is given by:
    (\overline{x_1}-\overline{x_2}-\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}*\tau_{0.025},\overline{x_1}-\overline{x_2}+\sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}*\tau_{0.025})

    Now,
    T0.025 = 1.960

    Putting in the given values, we get,
    \tiny (34.27777778 -31.6875 -\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}*1.960,34.27777778 -31.6875 +\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}*1.960)
    \tiny =(0.764740049 ,4.415815507 )
    \tiny =(0.765 ,4.416)

  • We reject \tiny H_0 at 5% level of significance iff
    \tiny |T|>1.960
    \Rightarrow \frac{|\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}|}{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}}>1.960
    \Rightarrow |\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}|>1.825537729

    Now, power of the test is given by:
    1-P_{\mu=2}(|\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}|<1.825537729 )
    =1-(P_{\mu=2}(\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}<1.825537729 )-P_{\mu=2}(\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}<-1.825537729 ))
    \tiny =1-(P_{\mu=2}(\frac{\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}-2}{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}}<\frac{1.825537729-2}{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}} )-P_{\mu=2}(\frac{\overline{X_1}-\overline{X_2}-2}{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}}<\frac{-1.825537729-2}{\sqrt{\frac{3.9^2}{18}+\frac{0.6^2}{16}}} ))
    1-(P_{\mu=2}(Z<-0.187312508 )-P_{\mu=2}(Z<-4.107312508 ))
    1-(\Phi(-0.187312508 )-\Phi(-4.107312508 ))
    =1-(0.42571271-0.00002002)
    =0.57430731
    =0.574
