Question
Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}\) be a random sample from the normal distribution \(N(\mu, 9)\). To test the hypothesis \(H_{0}:\) \(\mu=80\) against \(H_{1}: \mu \neq 80\), consider the following three critical regions: \(C_{1}=\left\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \geq c_{1}\right\}, C_{2}=\left\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \leq c_{2}\right\}\), and \(C_{3}=\left\{\bar{x}:|\bar{x}-80| \geq c_{3}\right\}\).
(a) If \(n=16\), find the values of \(c_{1}, c_{2}, c_{3}\) such that the size of each critical region is \(0.05\). That is, find \(c_{1}, c_{2}\), \(c_{3}\) such that
\(\begin{aligned}0.05 &=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{1} ; \mu=80\right)=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{2} ; \mu=80\right) \\&=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{3} ; \mu=80\right)\end{aligned}\)
(b) On the same graph paper, sketch the power functions for these three critical regions.
Solution
The first step in solving 8.6 problem number 6 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}\) be a random sample from the normal distribution \(N(\mu, 9)\). To test the hypothesis \(H_{0}:\) \(\mu=80\) against \(H_{1}: \mu \neq 80\), consider the following three critical regions: \(C_{1}=\left\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \geq c_{1}\right\}, C_{2}=\left\{\bar{x}: \bar{x} \leq c_{2}\right\}\), and \(C_{3}=\left\{\bar{x}:|\bar{x}-80| \geq c_{3}\right\}\).(a) If \(n=16\), find the values of \(c_{1}, c_{2}, c_{3}\) such that the size of each critical region is \(0.05\). That is, find \(c_{1}, c_{2}\), \(c_{3}\) such that\(\begin{aligned}0.05 &=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{1} ; \mu=80\right)=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{2} ; \mu=80\right) \\&=P\left(\bar{X} \in C_{3} ; \mu=80\right)\end{aligned}\)(b) On the same graph paper, sketch the power functions for these three critical regions.
