A Two - Tail Test
Example 11.2
2
AT&T has been challenged by competitors
who argued that their rates resulted in lower
bills.
A statistics practitioner determines that the
mean and standard deviation of monthly longdistance bills for all AT&T residential customers
are $17.09 and $3.87 respectively.
Jia-Ying Chen
A Two - Tail Test
Example 11.2 - continued
3
A random sample of 100 customers is selected
and customers’ bills recalculated using a
leading competitor’s rates (see Xm11-02).
Assuming the standard deviation is the same
(3.87), can we infer that there is a difference
between AT&T’s bills and the competitor’s bills
(on the average)?
Jia-Ying Chen
A Two - Tail Test
Solution
Is the mean different from 17.09?
H0: m = 17.09
H1 : m 17.09

z z / 2 or z z / 2

/2 = 0.025
17.09
If H0 is true (m =17.09), x can still fall far
above or far below 17.09, in which case
we erroneously reject H0 in favor of H1
(m 17.09)

We want this erroneous
rejection of H0 to be a
rare event, say 5%

A Two – Tail Test
There is insufficient evidence to infer that there is a
difference between the bills of AT&T and the competitor.
Also, by the p value approach:
The p-value = P(Z< -1.19)+P(Z >1.19)
= 2(.1173) = .2346 > .05

A machine that produces ball bearings is set
so that the average diameter is 0.5 inch. A
sample of 10 ball bearings was measured
with the results shown here. Assuming that
the standard deviation is 0.05 inch, can we
conclude that at the 5% significance level that
the mean diameter is not 0.5 inch?

A Type II error occurs when a false H0 is
not rejected.

A statistics practitioner wants to test the
following hypotheses with σ=20 and n=100:
H0: μ=100
H1: μ>100
Using α=0.1 find the probability of a Type II
error when μ=102

Judging the Test
A hypothesis test is effectively defined by
the significance level and by the sample
size n.
If the probability of a Type II error is
judged to be too large, we can reduce it by
19
increasing , and/or
increasing the sample size.
Jia-Ying Chen
Judging the Test
Increasing the sample size reduces

Recall : z =

By increasing the sample size the
standard deviation of the sampling
distribution of the mean decreases.
Thus, x Ldecreases.

Power of a test
22
The power of a test is defined as 1 - .
It represents the probability of rejecting the null
hypothesis when it is false.

For a given sample size n, if the level of
significance α is decreased, the power of the
test will:
a.increase.
b.decrease.
c.remain the same.
d.Not enough information to tell.

Example 5
24
During the last energy crisis, a government official
claimed that the average car owner refills the tank
when there is more than 3 gallons left. To check the
claim, 10 cars were surveyed as they entered a gas
station. The amount of gas remaining before refill
was measured and recorded as follows (in gallons):
3, 5, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 6, 4, and 1. Assume that the
amount of gas remaining in tanks is normally
distributed with a standard deviation of 1 gallon.
Compute the probability of a Type II error and the
power of the test if the true average amount of gas
remaining in tanks is 3.5 gallons. (α=0.05)
