题目

Problem

The weekly profit, in dollars, made by a certain firm has a normal distribution. In the past, the weekly profit had the distribution N(736,262)\mathrm{N}(736,26^2). Following a change in management, the mean weekly profit for 3535 randomly chosen weeks is $725.

(a) Stating a necessary assumption, test at the 2%2\% significance level whether the mean weekly profit has decreased.

(6)

The mean weekly profit for another random sample of 3535 weeks is found and a similar test is carried out at the 2%2\% significance level.

(b) State the probability of a Type I error.

(1)

(c) Given that the mean weekly profit is now in fact $718, find the probability of a Type II error.

题目中文翻译

某公司的每周利润以美元为单位,服从正态分布。过去,每周利润服从分布 N(736,262)\mathrm{N}(736,26^2)。管理层变更后,随机选取 3535 周,所得的平均每周利润为 725725 美元。

(a) 写出一个必要的假设,并在 2%2\% 的显著性水平下检验每周平均利润是否下降。

(6)

再随机选取 3535 周,求出样本的平均每周利润,并在 2%2\% 的显著性水平下进行类似的检验。

(b) 写出发生第一类错误的概率。

(1)

(c) 已知目前每周平均利润实际为 718718 美元,求发生第二类错误的概率。

(a)

思路

展开

假设改变管理后标准差仍为 2626。备择是均值降低,使用左尾 2%2\% 临界值。

答题过程

展开

Assume that the population standard deviation of weekly profit is unchanged at 2626 dollars. Let μ\mu be the population mean weekly profit after the management change. Test

H0:μ=736,H1:μ<736.H_0:\mu=736,\qquad H_1:\mu<736.

Under H0H_0, the mean of the 3535 independent normal observations has distribution N(736,262/35)\mathrm N(736,26^2/35). The test statistic is

z=725−73626/35≈−2.503.z=\frac{725-736}{26/\sqrt{35}}\approx-2.503.

For a lower-tailed test at the 2%2\% level, the critical value is Φ−1(0.02)≈−2.054\Phi^{-1}(0.02)\approx-2.054. Since −2.503<−2.054-2.503<-2.054, reject H0H_0.

There is sufficient evidence at the 2%2\% significance level that the population mean weekly profit has decreased.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

连续正态检验可精确选择拒绝域概率,因此第一类错误概率等于显著性水平。

答题过程

展开

A Type I error is rejecting a true H0H_0. For this continuous normal test, its probability equals the significance level:

P(Type I error)=0.02.\boxed{\mathrm P(\text{Type I error})=0.02}.

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

先在原假设下找固定的临界样本均值,再在真实均值 718718 下求未拒绝的右尾概率。

答题过程

展开

Let cc be the critical sample mean. Under H0H_0,

c−73626/35= Φ−1(0.02),c= 736 +Φ−1(0.02)2635≈ 726.974180.\begin{align*} \frac{c-736}{26/\sqrt{35}}=&\,\Phi^{-1}(0.02),\\[4mm] c=&\,736\\[4mm] &\,+\Phi^{-1}(0.02)\frac{26}{\sqrt{35}}\\[4mm] \approx&\,726.974180. \end{align*}

The rejection region is X‾<c\overline X<c. When the true mean profit is 718718, X‾∼N(718,262/35)\overline X\sim\mathrm N(718,26^2/35). A Type II error occurs when X‾≥c\overline X\ge c, so

 P(Type II error)= 1−Φ(c−71826/35)≈ 1−Φ(2.041999…)≈ 0.0206.\begin{align*} &\,\mathrm P(\text{Type II error})\\[4mm] =&\,1-\Phi\bigg(\frac{c-718}{26/\sqrt{35}}\bigg)\\[4mm] \approx&\,1-\Phi(2.041999\ldots)\\[4mm] \approx&\,\boxed{0.0206}. \end{align*}
