Chapter 13.2, Problem 18BB
Finding Critical Values Table A-7 lists critical values for limited choices of a. Use Table A-1 to add a new column in Table A-7 (from n = 1 to n = 8) that represents a significance level of 0.03 in one tail or 0.06 in two tails. For any particular n, use p = 0.5, because the sign test requires the assumption that P (positive sign) = P (negative sign) = 0.5. The probability of x or fewer like signs is the sum of the probabilities for values up to and including x.

Finding Critical Values of X2 For large numbers of degrees of freedom, we can approximate critical values of as follows:
Here K is the number of degrees of freedom and z is the critical value(s) found from technology or Table A-2. In Exercise 12 “Spoken Words” we have df = 55, so Table A-4 does not list an exact critical value. If we want to approximate a critical value of X2 in the right-tailed hypothesis test with α = 0.01 and a sample size of 56, we let k = 55 with z = 2.33 (or the more accurate value of z = 2.326348 found from technology). Use this approximation to estimate the critical value of X2 for Exercise 12. How close is it to the critical value of = 82.292 obtained by using Statdisk and Minitab?
What happens to the critical value for a chi-square test if the number of categories is increased?
a. The critical value increases.
b. The critical value decreases.
c. The critical value depends on the sample size, not the number of categories.
d. The critical value is determined entirely by the alpha level
(a) state the null and the alternative hypothesis(b) compute the test statistic, (c) determine the critical value and sketch therejection region and the non-rejection region using the normal curve. Show the 3-step procedures.
A researcher conducted an experimental study to determine if a new time slot for Math 10 viewing time for blended learners affects the performance of Grade 10 students in mathematics. Fifteen randomly selected learners participated in the study. Toward the end of the investigation, a standard assessment was conducted. The sample mean was x̅= 85 and the standard deviation s = 3. In the standardization of the test, the mean was 75, and the standard deviation was 10. Use α = 0.05.

- Population Genetics In the study of population genetics, an important measure of inbreeding is the proportion of homozygous genotypesthat is, instances in which the two alleles carried at a particular site on an individuals chromosomes are both the same. For population in which blood-related individual mate, them is a higher than expected frequency of homozygous individuals. Examples of such populations include endangered or rare species, selectively bred breeds, and isolated populations. in general. the frequency of homozygous children from mating of blood-related parents is greater than that for children from unrelated parents Measured over a large number of generations, the proportion of heterozygous genotypesthat is, nonhomozygous genotypeschanges by a constant factor 1 from generation to generation. The factor 1 is a number between 0 and 1. If 1=0.75, for example then the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 25 in each generation In this case, after 10 generations, the proportion of heterozygous individuals in the population decreases by 94.37, since 0.7510=0.0563, or 5.63. In other words, 94.37 of the population is homozygous. For specific types of matings, the proportion of heterozygous genotypes can be related to that of previous generations and is found from an equation. For mating between siblings 1 can be determined as the largest value of for which 2=12+14. This equation comes from carefully accounting for the genotypes for the present generation the 2 term in terms of those previous two generations represented by for the parents generation and by the constant term of the grandparents generation. a Find both solutions to the quadratic equation above and identify which is 1 use a horizontal span of 1 to 1 in this exercise and the following exercise. b After 5 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous? c After 20 generations, what proportion of the population will be homozygous?arrow_forwardAfter conducting your one-sample z-test, you find an obtained z-statistic of 1.08 and a critical z-statistic of 1.64.
