A humane society claims that less than 39% of U.S. households own a dog. In a random sample of 402 U.S. households, 155say they own a dog. At α=0.01, is there enough evidence to support the society's claim?
(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify
H0 and Ha.
(b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
(c) Find the standardized test statistic.
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
1)Remove the four potential outliers of 0, 0, 8, and 20, and then obtain a new histogram without the outliers. Does the data appear to be normally distributed now?
2)Assuming that the four potential outliers of 0, 0, 8, and 20 are not recording errors, repeat the hypothesis test from part (c) (again setting up the hypothesis test and using either the critical value or p-value approach), and compare your results with that obtained in (c). Did you make a different conclusion?
3)Imagine you know have to make a recommendation/conclusion to the company that hired you: Assuming that the four potential outlies are not recording errors, and looking at the two results above, would you recommend using the first test with the outliers or the second test with the outliers removed? There is no right or wrong answer here, I am interested in what you think and your reasoning.
Let X1, ..., Xn be a sample from an Poisson population with parameter λ.(a) Find the maximum likelihood estimator for λ.(b) Is the estimator unbiased?(c) Is the estimator consistent?
