题目

Problem

A certain website receives an average of μ\mu hits per hour. In the past the value of μ\mu was 14.414.4. After making some improvements, the owner of the website wishes to test whether the value of μ\mu has increased. He chooses a 10-minute period at random and finds that there were 66 hits during this period. You may assume that the number of hits the website receives in any given time period follows a Poisson distribution.

(a) Carry out the test at the 2.5%2.5\% significance level.

(6)

(b) Explain whether it is possible that a Type I error or a Type II error or both may have been made in carrying out the test.

(2)
题目中文翻译

某网站平均每小时有 μ\mu 次访问。过去 μ\mu 的值为 14.414.4。对网站进行一些改进后,网站所有者想检验 μ\mu 的值是否增加。他随机选取一段 1010 分钟的时间,发现这段时间内共有 66 次访问。可以假设网站在任一给定时间段内收到的访问次数服从泊松分布。

(a) 在 2.5%2.5\% 的显著性水平下进行检验。

(6)

(b) 说明在进行该检验时,是否可能犯第一类错误、第二类错误,或同时犯这两类错误。

(2)
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。

(a)

假设参数使用每小时平均点击数,实际观测却只有十分钟;在原假设下将 Poisson 参数除以六,再计算至少六次的右尾概率。

Test

H0:μ=14.4,H1:μ>14.4,H_0:\mu=14.4,\qquad H_1:\mu>14.4,

where μ\mu is the population mean number of website hits per hour. Under H0H_0, the number NN of hits in ten minutes has distribution

N∼Po(14.4×1060)=Po(2.4).N\sim\mathrm{Po}\bigg(14.4\times\frac{10}{60}\bigg)=\mathrm{Po}(2.4).

For the observation N=6N=6,

P(N≥6)= 1−e−2.4(1+2.4) −e−2.4(2.422!+2.433!) −e−2.4(2.444!+2.455!)≈ 0.0357.\begin{align*} \mathrm P(N\ge6) =&\,1-\mathrm e^{-2.4}(1+2.4)\\[4mm] &\,-\mathrm e^{-2.4}\bigg(\frac{2.4^2}{2!}+\frac{2.4^3}{3!}\bigg)\\[4mm] &\,\hspace{2pt}-\mathrm e^{-2.4}\bigg(\frac{2.4^4}{4!}+\frac{2.4^5}{5!}\bigg)\\[4mm] \approx&\,0.0357. \end{align*}

Since 0.0357>0.0250.0357>0.025, do not reject H0H_0. There is insufficient evidence at the 2.5%2.5\% significance level that the population mean hourly hit rate has increased.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

本次没有拒绝原假设,所以不可能是第一类错误;若真实点击率已经增加,则可能是第二类错误。

答题过程

展开

Since H0H_0 was not rejected, a Type I error cannot have been made: that would require rejecting a true H0H_0.

A Type II error may have been made if the true mean hourly hit rate has increased but the test failed to detect this increase. Thus only a Type II error is possible for the decision reached in (a).
