Now based on the values of the 30 test statistics, answer these questions.
(A) How many researchers would reject H0. That is, how many of them made an "incorrect decision"? ........
(B) If we change the level of the test from α = 0.05 to α = 0.001 then, does this change any of your decisions to reject or not reject H0?
(C) In general, should the number of rejections increase or de-crease if α = 0.001 is used instead of α = 0.05?

Repeat parts (A), (B), and (C) of Question 1, using ttest in- stead of ztest, and answer (Thus ‘ztest 50 10 c1-c30' changes to ‘ttest 50 c1-c30')?(A) In how many tests did you reject H0. That is, how many times did you make an "incorrect decision"?
(B) Suppose you used α = 0.00008 instead of α = 0.05. Does this change any of your decisions to reject or not?
(C) In general, should the number of rejections increase or decrease if α = 0.00008 is used instead of α = 0.05?
Part B-
1. I am deciding on whether to invest 400,000 CAD to open a convenience store in particular spot in Ottawa. I know that the business will be profitable, with income of 70,000 CAD per year, if the store will have in average μ = 60 or more customers per day. If I am convinced that the business will be profitable then I will go ahead and open the store otherwise I won't. Hence I am dealing with this hypothesis testing problem.
H0 : μ = 60 vs Ha : μ < 60
(A) Explain what Type I error means in the context of this problem.
(B) What is the consequence of Type I error.
(C) Explain what Type II error means in this context.
(D) What is the consequence of Type II error in the context of this problem.
(E) Which error is more expensive in your opinion. Explain.
2. A recent study conducted by the government attempts to determine proportion of people who support further increase in cigarette taxes. In this study, 2500 voting age citizens were sampled, and it was found that 1900 of them were in favor of an increase in cigarette taxes. ?At level α = 0.05, do you believe that 78% of all citizens are in favor of an increase in cigarette taxes.?(A) State the null and alternative hypotheses and compute the p-value. ?(B) What is the smallest α you need to reject the null hypothesis.
3. To study the average amount of debts in Canada, 100 Canadians were surveyed. The amount of debt of each one was recorded. The sample gave an average of 28110 CAD with standard deviation of 3500 CAD. It is believed that the actual mean value of the debt in Canada is 27500. Given our data, we would like to test if the actual mean of debt is higher than 27500. ?(A) State the null and alternative hypotheses and compute the value of the test statistic.?(B) Compute the p-value for this test?(C) Draw a conclusion by comparing the p-value you obtained in part (B) to α = 0.05.
4 A caviar producing company packs its product in containers. They claim that the average weight of the caviar in the containers is 1 kilogram. They sell each container for 8,000 CAD. We had a budget of approximately 90,000 CAD. So, we could buy 11 of the containers and weighted the caviar in each. Here are the results in Kilograms: ?0.89, 1.01, 1.00, 0.90, 0.90, 0.91, 0.91, 0.89, 0.95, 1.00, 0.96. ?If we assume that the wights are normally distributed is there sufficient evidence for us to believe that the actual average weight of caviar in the containers is less that what the producer claims it is. Use the critical value approach with α = 0.05
5. The mid-distance running coach, Zdravko Popovich, for the Olympic team of an eastern European country claims that his six-month training program significantly reduces the average time to complete a 1500-meter run. Four mid-distance runners were randomly selected before they were trained with coach Popovich's six-month training program and their completion time of 1500-meter run was recorded (in minutes). After six months of training under coach Popovich, the same four runners' 1500 meter run time was recorded again. The results are given below.

Assume that the times before training and after training are normally distributed.
(A) Are the two samples independent? Explain.
(B) Construct 95% confidence interval for the difference between the actual mean of completion time before training and the actual mean of completion time after training.
(C) Based on the confidence interval in part (B) can we conclude that there is no significant difference between the between the actual mean of completion time before training and the actual mean of completion time after training. Hint: Check and see if your confidence interval in part (B) includes 0.
