It is desired to test H0: μ = 40 against Ha: μ < 40 using α = 0.10. The population is uniformly distributed with a standard deviation of 10. A random sample of 36 will be drawn from this population. If the test statistic is 2.24, what is the probability that the hypothesis test would lead the investigator to commit a Type 1 error?

You are given the following null and alternative hypotheses: H0: µ = 200 HA: µ ≠ 200 α = 0.10 Calculate the probability of committing a Type II error when the population mean is 197, the sample size is 36, and the population standard deviation is known to be 25.

It is desired to test the null hypothesis μ = 40 against the alternative hypothesis μ < 40 on the basis of a random sample from a population with standard deviation 4. If the probability of a Type I error is to be 0.04 and the probability of Type II error is to be 0.09 for μ = 38, find the required size of the sample.

It is desired to test H0: μ = 55 against H1: μ < 55 using α = 0.10. The population in question is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 20. A random sample of 64 will be drawn from this population. If μ is really equal to 50, what is the probability that the hypothesis test would lead the investigator to commit a Type II error? A. 0.7642 B. 0.4716 C. 0.2642 D. 0.2358
