1In hypothesis testing, the hypothesis that is tested for possible rejection is called the:
A.Null hypothesis
B.Alternative hypothesis
C.Composite hypothesis only
D.Research hypothesis only
Explanation: The null hypothesis (H₀) is the statement tested for possible rejection under the sampling evidence. The alternative (H₁) is accepted only if H₀ is rejected.
2A Type I error occurs when the statistician:
A.Accepts a true alternative hypothesis
B.Rejects a true null hypothesis
C.Accepts a false null hypothesis
D.Rejects a false null hypothesis
Explanation: A Type I error is rejecting H₀ when H₀ is actually true. Its probability is controlled by the significance level α.
3If the level of significance is 5%, then the probability of Type I error is:
A.0.01
B.0.50
C.0.05
D.0.95
Explanation: The level of significance α is the probability of Type I error. At 5% significance, α = 0.05.
4For a large sample, the standard error of the sample mean x̄ when the population SD σ is known is:
A.σ / n
B.s / n
C.σ² / √n
D.σ / √n
Explanation: By the central limit theorem, for large n the sampling distribution of x̄ has SE = σ/√n when σ is known.
5A random sample of size 100 is drawn from a population with σ = 10. The standard error of the sample mean is:
A.1
B.10
C.0.1
D.100
Explanation: SE(x̄) = σ/√n = 10/√100 = 10/10 = 1.
6For testing H₀: μ = μ₀ against H₁: μ ≠ μ₀ using a large sample with known σ, the test statistic is:
A.z = (x̄ − μ₀) · √n
B.z = (x̄ − μ₀) / (σ/√n)
C.z = (x̄ − μ₀) / σ
D.t = (x̄ − μ₀) / (s/√n) only
Explanation: The large-sample z-test for a mean uses z = (x̄ − μ₀)/(σ/√n), which standardizes the sample mean under H₀.
7A sample of 64 observations has mean 52. The population SD is 8. To test H₀: μ = 50 against a two-sided alternative at 5%, the absolute value of z is approximately:
A.1.00
B.4.00
C.2.00
D.0.25
Explanation: z = (52 − 50)/(8/√64) = 2/(8/8) = 2/1 = 2. At 5% two-sided, critical |z| ≈ 1.96, so |z| = 2 is just significant.
8For a large sample proportion test, if n = 400 and p̂ = 0.45 under H₀: P = 0.40, the absolute value of z is approximately:
A.1.25
B.0.50
C.4.00
D.2.04
Explanation: SE under H₀ is √[P(1−P)/n] = √[0.4·0.6/400] = √(0.24/400) = √0.0006 ≈ 0.0245. z = (0.45−0.40)/0.0245 ≈ 2.04.
9When testing the difference of two large-sample means with known σ₁ and σ₂, the SE of (x̄₁ − x̄₂) is:
A.√(σ₁²/n₁ + σ₂²/n₂)
B.σ₁/n₁ + σ₂/n₂
C.√(σ₁² + σ₂²)/(n₁ + n₂)
D.(σ₁ + σ₂)/√(n₁ + n₂)
Explanation: For independent samples, Var(x̄₁ − x̄₂) = σ₁²/n₁ + σ₂²/n₂, so SE = √(σ₁²/n₁ + σ₂²/n₂).
10A critical region of a test is the set of sample outcomes that lead to:
A.Estimation of σ only
B.Rejection of H₀
C.Acceptance of H₀ only
D.No decision
Explanation: The critical (rejection) region consists of those values of the test statistic for which H₀ is rejected at the chosen α.
