Math 151 , Day 36, Friday, November 21, 2008 ...Hit reload .

HW For Monday  New:  Chapter 15, Signifincance testing (the "other" big topic in inference)   Read Ch. 15, first to p. 364, then to p. 376.  Check: p. 381  Hypotheses: 15.26, 27.  Test statistic15.28.   P-value (one-sided) 15.31, 32.  Next: pp. 377-79, (Optional 379-80), Ch. 16 to p. 396

Hand in  Monday Please read Ch. 15--lots of jargon and weird stuff!

Continue with shoebox numbers: on  a  separate sheet:   If you haven't already, get a sample of size 4 from each of the two shoeboxes (in class, or outside my door.) (White from red-top box, Yellow from green box.): Bring Mon: 

A.  For each of your samples of size n=4  from the two shoeboxes *(keep track of which box they came from!): 
test H0:  µ=20 vs.  Ha:   µ  > 20.  Do it like this: 
--Find xbar (may  have already).
--Standardize your xbar, thus finding a z (assuming the population mean is 20, and the population s.d. is 4, so the s.d. for Xbar is 2)
--Use the standard normal table to find the probability to the right of your z.  (this is the "P-value" for your x-bar.)
--Is your P-value smaller (less likely) than alpha = .10? (Y/N) If Yes, your result is "significant at the alpha = .10 level"
--NOW Do you think the box has mean > 20?
Be ready to add your results to the circulating sheets Monday.
*Boxes outside my door, if you didn't get your samples already.
