Please complete all of the problems below and remember to show all of your work. The point
values for each problem are provided in parentheses. Good luck!
1. Let X 1 , X 2 ,K , X n be a random sample from a N , 1 distribution, with . Define
1, if X i 0
0, if X i 0
Yi
b. Obtain an expression for the power function K of this test (as a function of the
constant c. (15)
f ( x; , )
0, elsewhere
with 0 and 0. Find the most simplified form of the most powerful level test of
H 0 : 4, 0 versus H a : 5, 0 , where 0 is a known constant. (Dont worry about
identifying the distribution of the test statistic or finding the critical value.) (20)
3. The manufacturer of M&Ms milk chocolate candies claims that 24% of the plain M&Ms are
colored blue.
a. A random sample of 100 milk chocolate M&Ms was obtained. Using a significance
level of 0.05, how small or how large would the sample percentage of blue M&Ms
have to be before we could legitimately refute the manufacturers claim and conclude that
the percentage of blue M&Ms is not equal to 24%? (10)
b. Calculate the power of the test for the specific alternative value pa 0.15. (15)
(c) Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope parameter in your model. Does this interval
suggest that your model is better than simply using the average count to predict the mean
response? Explain. (15)
(d) Would you be willing to use your model to predict the mean response at 600 seconds?
Explain. (10)
(e) Since some curvature is apparent in the scatterplot, you might want to consider the
2
second-order polynomial model with mean response E Y 0 1 x 2 x for
predicting count from time. Identify the sum of squared deviations to be minimized for
this linear model and explain how the least squares estimators would be obtained. (Dont
worry about solving for the least squares estimators.) (10)
