Problem

An optician is testing patients for a specific eye condition.

It is known from past records that 5% of patients have this eye condition.

(a) Find the probability that from a random sample of 30 patients

(i) exactly one patient has the eye condition,

(ii) no more than 2 patients have the eye condition.

(2)

The optician claims that the proportion of patients with the eye condition has changed.

A random sample of 150 patients is taken and 13 have the eye condition.

(b) Using a suitable approximation, carry out an appropriate test to investigate the optician’s claim. Use a 5% level of significance and state your hypotheses clearly.

题目中文翻译

一位眼科医生正在检测患者是否患有特定眼疾。

根据过去的记录,已知 5% 的患者患有此眼疾。

(a) 求在随机抽取的 30 名患者中

(i) 恰好有一名患者患有此眼疾的概率,

(ii) 不超过 2 名患者患有此眼疾的概率。

(2)

眼科医生声称患有此眼疾的患者比例已经改变。

随机抽取了 150 名患者样本,其中 13 人患有此眼疾。

(b) 使用适当的近似方法,进行适当的检验来调查眼科医生的声明。使用 5% 的显著性水平并清楚地陈述你的假设。

解答

(a)(i)

解法一

思路

展开

令 XX 表示 30 名患者中患有该眼疾的人数,则 X∼B(30,0.05)X\sim B(30,0.05)。把 X=1X=1 代入二项分布的单点概率公式。

答题过程

展开

Let XX be the number of patients, out of 30, who have the eye condition. Then

X∼B⁡(30,0.05).X\sim\operatorname{B}(30,0.05).

Therefore,

 P(X=1)= (301)(0.05)(0.95)29= 0.338903…≈ 0.339.\begin{align*} &\,P(X=1)\\[4mm] =&\,\binom{30}{1}(0.05)(0.95)^{29}\\ =&\,0.338903\ldots\\ \approx&\,\boxed{0.339}. \end{align*}

(a)(ii)

解法一

思路

展开

“不超过 2 人”对应 X≤2X\leq2,因此把 X=0,1,2X=0,1,2 的二项概率相加,或直接使用二项分布的累积概率。

Using the same binomial distribution, let px=P(X=x)p_x=P(X=x), where

 px= (30x)(0.05)x(0.95)30−x.\begin{align*} &\,p_x\\[4mm] =&\,\binom{30}{x}(0.05)^x(0.95)^{30-x}. \end{align*}  P(X≤2)= ∑x=02px= 0.812178…≈ 0.812.\begin{align*} &\,P(X\leq2)\\[4mm] =&\,\sum_{x=0}^{2}p_x\\[4mm] =&\,0.812178\ldots\\ \approx&\,\boxed{0.812}. \end{align*}

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

“比例已经改变”表示双尾检验。原假设下样本人数服从 B(150,0.05)B(150,0.05);由于 nn 大而 pp 小,用均值 np=7.5np=7.5 的泊松分布近似。观察值 1313 在均值上方,因此计算上尾概率,并与双尾检验单侧的 0.0250.025 比较。

答题过程

展开

Let pp be the proportion of patients who have the eye condition. The hypotheses are

H0: p=0.05,H1: p≠0.05.\begin{align*} H_0:&\,p=0.05,\\[4mm] H_1:&\,p\neq0.05. \end{align*}

Under H0H_0, the number YY of affected patients in the sample has distribution B(150,0.05)B(150,0.05). Since nn is large and pp is small,

Y∼˙Po⁡(7.5),Y\mathrel{\dot\sim}\operatorname{Po}(7.5),

where 150×0.05=7.5150\times0.05=7.5.

For the observed value Y=13Y=13,

 P(Y≥13)= 1−P(Y≤12)= 0.0426658…≈ 0.0427.\begin{align*} &\,P(Y\geq13)\\[4mm] =&\,1-P(Y\leq12)\\ =&\,0.0426658\ldots\\ \approx&\,0.0427. \end{align*}

This probability is given to 3 significant figures. This is a two-tailed test, and

0.0427>0.052=0.025.0.0427>\frac{0.05}{2}=0.025.

Therefore, H0H_0 is not rejected. There is insufficient evidence at the 5%5\% significance level to suggest that the proportion of patients with the eye condition has changed.

解法二

思路

展开

也可直接找出泊松近似下的双尾临界区域。每一尾的概率不能超过 0.0250.025:下尾边界为 Y≤2Y\leq2,上尾边界为 Y≥14Y\geq14。观察值 1313 不在临界区域,因此结论相同。

答题过程

展开

Using Y∼˙Po⁡(7.5)Y\mathrel{\dot\sim}\operatorname{Po}(7.5),

P(Y≤2)≈ 0.02026< 0.025\begin{align*} P(Y\leq2)\approx&\,0.02026\\[4mm] <&\,0.025 \end{align*}

and

P(Y≥14)≈ 0.02156< 0.025.\begin{align*} P(Y\geq14)\approx&\,0.02156\\[4mm] <&\,0.025. \end{align*}

The adjacent outcomes would make the corresponding tail probability exceed 0.0250.025, so the critical region is

Y≤2orY≥14.Y\leq2 \quad\text{or}\quad Y\geq14.

The observed value Y=13Y=13 is not in the critical region. Therefore, H0H_0 is not rejected, and there is insufficient evidence that the proportion of patients with the eye condition has changed.
