A home improvement store recently purchased a new paint color-mixing machine. The machine is rated to produce 6 gallons of mixed paint every minute. The store's manager suspects that the machine is underperforming. In order to test his hypothesis, the manager tests the machine's output by mixing 10 randomly chosen colors and me
1) Test of two means. You should select a hypothesis you are interested in testing and then use a test of two means to test this hypothesis. For example, you may be interested in testing whether the GPA of females is higher than that of males in that class. One is going to draw the inference by using a random sample with repl
Consider the samples x1, ..., xN which satisfy the following model (see the attachment). x_n - sqrt(0) + w_n; n = 1, ..., N where [w_n] is i.i.d. with corresponding pdf f(w). We are interested in distinguishing between the two hypothesis Ho: theta = 0 and H1: theta > 0. Examine whether a locally optimum test exists that ca
The quality control director for a clothing manufacturer wants to study the effect of machines on the breaking strength (in pounds) of wool serge material. A batch of the material is cut into square-yard pieces, and these are randomly assigned, 12 each, to the three machines chosen specifically for the experiment. The results ar
