Problem

A factory produces packets of biscuits. The total mass of biscuits in a packet has a normal distribution with mean μ\mu. A random sample of 12 packets is taken and the mass of the contents of each packet, xx g, is recorded. The results are summarised as follows.

∑x=2390∑x2=476117\sum x = 2390 \qquad \sum x^2 = 476117

(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for μ\mu.

[4]

A test of the null hypothesis μ=k\mu = k is carried out on this sample using a 5% significance level. The test does not support the alternative hypothesis μ<k\mu < k.

(b) Find the greatest possible value of kk.

题目中文翻译

一家工厂生产一包包饼干。每包饼干中饼干的总质量服从均值为 μ\mu 的正态分布。随机抽取 12 包,记录每包内容物的质量 xx g。结果总结如下。

∑x=2390∑x2=476117\sum x = 2390 \qquad \sum x^2 = 476117

(a) 求 μ\mu 的 99% 置信区间。

(4)

对该样本进行原假设 μ=k\mu = k 的检验,显著性水平为 5%。该检验不支持备择假设 μ<k\mu < k。

(b) 求 kk 的最大可能值。

原卷通用作答要求

Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.

You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

总体正态、方差未知。先从汇总值求无偏方差,再用自由度 1111 的双侧 tt 区间。

答题过程

The sample mean is xˉ=2390/12\bar x=2390/12, and the unbiased variance estimate is

s2=476117−23902/1211=32633.s^2=\frac{476117-2390^2/12}{11}=\frac{326}{33}.

The two-sided 99%99\% interval uses t0.995,11=3.106t_{0.995,11}=3.106, giving

 xˉ±3.106s212= (196.3485…,201.9848…) g.\begin{align*} &\,\bar x\pm3.106\sqrt{\frac{s^2}{12}}\\ =&\,(196.3485\ldots,201.9848\ldots)\,\mathrm g. \end{align*}

To three significant figures the interval is (196,202)(196,202) g.

这是左尾检验。kk 越大,检验统计量越小,所以将统计量设在左尾临界点得到上界。

For a hypothesised mean kk, the statistic is t=(xˉ−k)/s2/12t=(\bar x-k)/\sqrt{s^2/12}. Its lower 5%5\% critical value with 1111 degrees of freedom is −1.796-1.796. The limiting value of kk for non-rejection is therefore

 239012+1.796326/3312= 200.7962… g.\begin{align*} &\,\frac{2390}{12}+1.796\sqrt{\frac{326/33}{12}}\\ =&\,200.7962\ldots\,\mathrm g. \end{align*}

At this boundary the one-sided pp-value is 0.050.05. The greatest value to the accuracy of the calculation is 200.8200.8 g.
