PROBLEM 9E
Let p denote the probability that, for a particular tennis player, the first serve is good. Since p = 0.40, this player decided to take lessons in order to increase p. When the lessons are completed, the hypothesis H0: p = 0.40 will be tested against H1: p > 0.40 on the basis of n = 25 trials. Let y equal the number of first serves that are good, and let the critical region be defined by C = {y: y ≥ 14}.
(a) Find the power function K(p) for this test.
(b) What is the value of the significance level, α =K(0.40)? Use Table II in Appendix B.
(c) Evaluate K(p) at p = 0.45, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80, and 0.90. Use Table II.
(d) Sketch the graph of the power function.
(e) If y = 15 following the lessons, would H0 be rejected?
(f) What is the p-value associated with y = 15?
