题目

Problem

It is known that 20%20\% of households in a certain country contain more than 44 people. Laxmi believes that, in her town, the percentage is lower than 20%20\%. She chooses a random sample of 4040 households in her town and notes the number which contain more than 44 people. She then carries out a test at the 2.5%2.5\% significance level using a binomial distribution.

(a) Find the probability of a Type I error.

(4)

(b) State the rejection region for the test.

(1)

Laxmi finds that exactly 22 households in her sample contain more than 44 people.

(c) Explain why it is impossible for Laxmi to make a Type II error.

(1)
题目中文翻译

已知某国有 20%20\% 的住户人数超过 44。Laxmi 认为她所在镇的这一比例低于 20%20\%。她在镇上随机抽取 4040 户,记录其中人数超过 44 的户数。然后,她用二项分布在 2.5%2.5\% 的显著性水平下进行检验。

(a) 求发生第一类错误的概率。

(4)

(b) 写出该检验的拒绝域。

(1)

Laxmi 发现样本中恰有 22 户的人数超过 44。

(c) 解释为什么 Laxmi 不可能犯第二类错误。

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。

低于既有比例对应左尾检验。逐一核对相邻整数的累计概率,确定实际拒绝域后才能求第一类错误概率。

Let KK be the number of households containing more than four people in the sample. Test H0:p=0.2H_0:p=0.2 against H1:p<0.2H_1:p<0.2, where pp is the population proportion for the town.

Under H0H_0, K∼B(40,0.2)K\sim\mathrm B(40,0.2). We have

P(K≤2)= (0.8)40+40(0.2)(0.8)39 +(402)(0.2)2(0.8)38≈ 0.00794214<0.025.\begin{align*} \mathrm P(K\le2) =&\,(0.8)^{40}+40(0.2)(0.8)^{39}\\[4mm] &\,\hspace{2pt}+\binom{40}{2}(0.2)^2(0.8)^{38}\\[4mm] \approx&\,0.00794214<0.025. \end{align*}

But

P(K≤3)= P(K≤2) +(403)(0.2)3(0.8)37≈ 0.0284621>0.025.\begin{align*} \mathrm P(K\le3) =&\,\mathrm P(K\le2)\\[4mm] &\,+\binom{40}{3}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{37}\\[4mm] \approx&\,0.0284621>0.025. \end{align*}

Thus the critical region at the 2.5%2.5\% level is K≤2K\le2. A Type I error occurs when H0H_0 is true and the observation falls in this region, so

P(Type I error)≈0.00794.\boxed{\mathrm P(\text{Type I error})\approx0.00794}.

直接承接(a)验证的边界,写出完整的整数拒绝域。

Using part (a), the rejection region is K≤2\boxed{K\le2}, where KK is the number of sampled households containing more than four people.

观测值二已经处于拒绝域;第二类错误却需要未拒绝原假设。

The observation K=2K=2 lies in the rejection region, so Laxmi rejects H0H_0. A Type II error requires failing to reject a false null hypothesis; since she rejects it, her decision cannot be a Type II error.
