What principles of hypothesis testing

Reference no: EM131853789

Assume that a random sample of size 25 is to be taken from a normal population with μ = 10 and σ = 2. The value of μ, however, is not known by the person taking the sample.

(a) Suppose that the person taking the sample tests H₀:μ = 10.4 against H₁:μ = 10.4. Although this null hypothesis is not true, it may not be rejected, and a type II error may therefore be committed. Compute β if α = 0.05.

(b) Suppose the same hypothesis is to be tested as that of part (a) but α = 0.01. Compute β.

(d) Suppose that the person decided to use H₁:μ < 11.2.="" calculate="" β="" for="" α="0.05" and="" α="">

(e) What principles of hypothesis testing are illustrated by these exercises?
