- STAT 3128 Homeowrk Section Question 1. Let u denote the true average radioactivity level (picocuries per liter). The value 5 pci/L is considered the dividing line between safe and unsafe water. Would you recommend testing Ho: μ = 5 versus Ha: > 5 or Ho μ = 5 versus Ha: μ 5. A type II error in this case involves deciding the water is safe when it isn't. This is a very serious error, so a test which ensures that this error is highly unlikely is desirable. We prefer that the most serious error be a type II error because it can be explicitly controlled. One should test Ho: μ = 5 versus Ha> 5. A type I error in this case involves deciding the water is safe when it isn't. This is a very serious error, so a test which ensures that this error is highly unlikely is desirable.

- 2:11 l LTE AA www-awn.aleks.com OOC OD For a new study conducted by a fitness magazine, 285 females were randomly selected. For each, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a September-February period. A second sample of 250 females was chosen independently of the first. For each of them, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a March-August period. During the September-February period, participants consumed a mean of 2385.6 calories daily with a standard deviation of 224. During the March-August period, participants consumed a mean of 2414.4 calories daily with a standard deviation of 287.5. The population standard deviations of daily calories consumed for females in the two periods can be estimated using the sample standard deviations, as the samples that were used to compute them were quite large.
