题目
It is known that of households in a certain country contain more than people. Laxmi believes that, in her town, the percentage is lower than . She chooses a random sample of households in her town and notes the number which contain more than people. She then carries out a test at the significance level using a binomial distribution.
(a) Find the probability of a Type I error.
(b) State the rejection region for the test.
Laxmi finds that exactly households in her sample contain more than people.
(c) Explain why it is impossible for Laxmi to make a Type II error.
题目中文翻译
已知某国有 的住户人数超过 。Laxmi 认为她所在镇的这一比例低于 。她在镇上随机抽取 户,记录其中人数超过 的户数。然后,她用二项分布在 的显著性水平下进行检验。
(a) 求发生第一类错误的概率。
(b) 写出该检验的拒绝域。
Laxmi 发现样本中恰有 户的人数超过 。
(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 be the number of households containing more than four people in the sample. Test against , where is the population proportion for the town.
Under , . We have
But
Thus the critical region at the level is . A Type I error occurs when is true and the observation falls in this region, so

Using part (a), the rejection region is , where is the number of sampled households containing more than four people.
(c)

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