Consider the hypothesis test H 0 : 1 = 2 against H 1 :

Question:

Consider the hypothesis test H0: μ1 = μ2 against H1: μ1 > μ2 with known variances σ1 = 10 and σ2 = 5. Suppose that sample sizes n1 = 10 and n2 = 15 and that x1 = 24.5 and x2 = 21.3. Use α = 0.01.

(a) Test the hypothesis and find the P-value.

(b) Explain how the test could be conducted with a confidence interval.

(c) What is the power of the test in part (a) if μ1 is 2 units greater than μ2?

(d) Assume that sample sizes are equal. What sample size should be used to obtain β = 0.05 if μ1 is 2 units greater than μ2? Assume that α = 0.05.
