Suppose a hypothesis test is conducted to determine if the mean lifetime of a brand of contact
lenses is more than 6 months. Explain what the following errors would be in this situation.
Avoid technical statistical terms like "hypothesis"; instead, use language specific to this
problem.
a. a Type I error
b. a Type II error

A brand of contact lenses is advertised as lasting an average of 19 months with a standard deviation of 2 months. A consumer group doubts that the mean is that high and recruits 59 volunteers to test the contact lenses. Let X represent the mean time that the lenses last for these volunteers. (a). Is X normally distributed? Explain your answer. (b). Find the mean of the sampling distribution of X. (c). Find the standard error of X. (d). Write...

A manufacturer wants to test the lifetime of a small motor it builds; the mean lifetime is supposed to be at least 4 years. Assume that the distribution of lifetimes is approximately normal. (a) The manufacturing unit will do a thorough investigation of the manufacturing process if it has reason to believe that the lifetime is too short. Formulate a null and alternative hypothesis. (b) The CEO has called and said that selling substandard motors is unacceptable. Now an investigation...

A blind taste test is conducted to determine which of two colas, Brand A or Brand B, individuals prefer. Individuals are randomly asked to drink one of the two types of cola first, followed by the other cola, and then asked to disclose the drink they prefer. Results of the taste test indicate that 49 of 100 individuals prefer Brand A. Complete parts a through c. (a) Conduct a hypothesis test (preferably using technology) Ho: p=Po versus Hippe for P=0.38,...

Suppose that we wish to test the null hypothesis Ho that the proportion p of ledger sheets with errors is equal to .05 versus the alternative Ha , that the proportion is larger than .05, by using the following scheme. Two ledger sheets are selected at random. If both are error free, we reject Ho. If one or more contains an error, we look at a third sheet. If the third sheet is error free, we reject Ho. In all...

Suppose the average lifetime of a certain type of car battery is known to be 60 months. Consider conducting a two-sided test on it based on a sample of size 25 from a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 4 months. a) If the true average lifetime is 62 months and a=0.01, what is the probability of a type II error? b) What is the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability of b(62)...
