Sometimes experiments involving success or failure responses are run in a paired or before/after manner. Suppose that
Question:
where x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = n. Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 denote the four cell probabilities, so that p1 = P(S before and S after), and so on. We wish to test the hypothesis that the true proportion of supporters (S) after the speech has not increased against the alternative that it has increased.
a. State the two hypotheses of interest in terms of p1, p2, p3, and p4.
b. Construct an estimator for the after/ before difference in success probabilities.
c. When n is large, it can be shown that the rv (Xi - Xj)/n has approximately a normal distribution with variance given by [pi + pj - (pi - pj)2]/n. Use this to construct a test statistic with approximately a standard normal distribution when H0 is true (the result is called McNemar's test).
d. If x1 = 350, x2 = 150, x3 = 200, and x4 = 300, what do you conclude?
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
