A certain size of bag is designed to hold 25 pounds of potatoes. A farmer fills such bags in the field. Assume that the weight \(X\) of potatoes in a bag is \(N(\mu, 9)\). We shall test the null hypothesis \(H_{0}: \mu=25\) against the alternative hypothesis \(H_{1}: \mu<25\) . Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3}, X_{4}\) be a random sample of size 4 from this distribution, and let the critical region \(C\) for this test be defined by \(\bar{x} \leq 22.5\), where \(\bar{x}\) is the observed value of \(\bar{X}\). (a) What is the power function \(K(\mu)\) of this test? In particular, what is the significance level \(\alpha=K(25)\) for your test? (b) If the random sample of four bags of potatoes yielded the values \(x_{1}=21.24, x_{2}=24.81, x_{3}=23.62\), and \(x_{4}=26.82\), would your test lead you to accept or reject \(H_{0}\) ? (c) What is the \(p\)-value associated with \(\bar{x}\) in part (b)?

Question
In Exercise 8.5-6, let \(C=\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \leq c\}\) be the critical region. Find values for \(n\) and \(c\) so that the significance level of this test is \(\alpha=0.05\) and the power at \(\mu=650\) is \(0.90\).
Solution
The first step in solving 8.5 problem number 7 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercise 8.5-6, let \(C=\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \leq c\}\) be the critical region. Find values for \(n\) and \(c\) so that the significance level of this test is \(\alpha=0.05\) and the power at \(\mu=650\) is \(0.90\).
From the textbook chapter Tests of Statistical Hypotheses you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
