Suppose that nine observations are drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 2. The observations are: 15 9 13 11 8 12 11 7 10 At 95% confidence, you want to determine whether the mean of the population from which this sample was taken is significantly different from 10. a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Compute the value of the test statistic. c. Compute the p-value. d. Interpret the results.

A test for the population mean μ\mu produces a test-statistic z = -0.75. The p-value associated with the test is 0.2266 if the test is a left-tail test, it is 0.7734 if the test is a right-tail test, and it is 0.4533 if the test is a two-tail test.

Consider the hypotheses H0:μ=950H _ { 0 } : \mu = 950 H1:μ950H _ { 1 } : \mu \neq 950 . Assume that μ=1000,\mu = 1000 , α=0.10\alpha = 0.10 σ=200\sigma = 200 , and n = 25. Calculate β\beta , the probability of a Type II error.
