Q1. Let X1,….Xn, be a random sample from a N(u,o2)population where o2 = o20 is known. A test for H1: u = u0 vs. K1: u = u1, where u0 > u1 is

(B)

Q2. A random sample of size 10 is taken from a normal population and the values are:

Q3. A random sample of size 12 is taken from a normal population with mean u and variance o2. Let X and S2 be the sample mean and sample variance respectively and T = Vn (X-u0/S). For testing H0: u = u0 -versus H1: u # u0 at 5% level of significance, the test is to

Q4. Two machines are utilized to fill 12-ounce net volume plastic bottles. The filling processes can be assumed to be independently normally distributed with means u1,u2 and standard deviations 01 = 0.018 and 02 = 0.021 respectively. An experiment is performed by taking random samples of size 5 from the output of each machine. For testing the hypothesis H0:u1 H0: u1 not equals to u2, find the value of the test statistic.
