iii). One tailed and two tailed test
iv). Type I and type II error
v). Significance level and critical region
vi). Confidence interval and confidence limits.
2. Statistical hypothesis under test is called……………
3. A wrong decision about the null hypothesis leads to …………….. types of errors.
4. The probability of type I error is given by……..
5. The level of significance of a test is related to type …….. error and is given by…………..
6. Critical region provides us the criterion for ………….. of null hypothesis.
7. Which one of the following statement is true for Type II error
(a) Rejecting an incorrect Hypothesis
(b) Accepting an incorrect Hypothesis
(c ) Accepting a correct Hypothesis
(d) Rejecting a correct Hypothesis
8. An investigator commits a type II error when he / she
(a) rejects a null hypothesis when it is true
(b) accepts a null hypothesis when it is true
(c ) rejects a null hypothesis when it is false
(d) accepts a null hypothesis when it is false
9. Type I error in the testing of null hypothesis occurs when the researchers
(a) rejects it, when it is true
(b) accepts it, but it is false
( c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) neither (a) nor (b)
Section B
10 (A)The heights of 10 adult males selected at random from a given locality had a mean of 158 cm and
variance 39.0625 cm. State the null and alternative Hypothesis. [Ans: H0: µ=162.5; H1: µ<162.50]

10. (B). A local telephone company claims that the average length of a phone call is 8 minutes. In a random sample of 18
phone calls, the sample mean was 7.8 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.5 minutes. Is there enough evidence
to support this claim at  = 0.05. State the null and alternative Hypothesis.
[Ans: H0: µ=8; H1: µ≠8]

11. (A) A travel agency’s marketing brochure indicates that the standard deviations of hotel room rates for
two cities are the same. A random sample of 13 hotel room rates in one city has a standard deviation of
$27.50 and a random sample of 16 hotel room rates in the other city has a standard deviation of $29.75.
State the null and alternative Hypothesis.
11. (B) Consider the following measurements of the heat produced by two mines:
Mine 1 8260 8130 8350 8070 8340
Mine 2 7950 7890 7900 8140 7920 7840
State the null and alternative Hypothesis.

12. (A) A manufacturer claims that its rechargeable batteries have an average life greater than 1,000 charges.
A random sample of 10 batteries has a mean life of 1002 charges and a standard deviation of 14. State the
null and alternative Hypothesis

[Ans: 𝑯𝟎 ∶ 𝝁 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎, 𝑯𝟏: 𝝁 > 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎]

12.(B) Certain pesticide is packed into bags by a machine. A random sample of 10 bags is drawn and their
contents are found to weight in kgs as follows: 50, 49, 44, 52, 45, 48, 46, 45, 49, 45. State the null and
alternative hypothesis that the average packing can be taken as 50kg. [Ans: H0: µ=50kg ;
H1: µ≠50kg]

13. Given the frequency function, 𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 𝜃 , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝜃 and 𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 0, otherwise and that you are
testing the null hypothesis 𝐻0 : 𝜃 = 1 against 𝐻1 : 𝜃 = 2, by means of a single observed value 𝑥. What
would be the sizes of the Type I and type II errors, if you choose the interval (𝑖)0.5 ≤ 𝑥, (𝑖𝑖) 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤
1.5 as the critical regions?
[Ans: (i) 𝜶=0.5, 𝜷 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟓, (𝒊𝒊) 𝜶 = 𝟎, 𝜷 = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓]

14. Let p be the probability that a coin will fall head in a single toss in order to test 𝐻0 : 𝑝 = 2 against 𝐻1 : 𝑝 =
3
. The coin is tossed 5 times and H0 is rejected if more than 3 heads are obtained. Find the probability
4
of type I error.
[Ans: 𝜶=3/16, 𝜷 = 𝟒𝟕/𝟏𝟐𝟖]

15. If x ≥ 1 is the critical region for testing 𝐻0 : Ɵ = 2 against the alternative Ɵ = 1, on the basis of the
single observation from the population.

𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 𝜃 exp(−𝜃𝑥) , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ ∞

Obtain the values of type 1 and type II errors.

[Ans: 𝜶=1/e2, 𝜷 = (𝒆 − 𝟏)/𝒆]

16. A random variable X follows the following exponential distribution

1 −𝑥/𝜃
𝑓(𝑥, 𝜃) = 𝑒 , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ ∞, 𝜃 > 0
𝜃

The null hypothesis 𝐻0 : 𝜃 = 2 is rejected and alternative hypothesis 𝐻0 : 𝜃 = 4 is accepted. If the


observation selected at random takes the value 6 or more, find the critical region, acceptance region, and
the type I and type II error.
