Economics 30330: Statistics for Economics Problem Set 8 - Suggested Solutions University of Notre Dame Instructor: Julio Gar´ ın Spring 2012 Hypothesis Testing (80 Points) 1. Consider the following hypothesis test: H0 : µ ≥ 20 HA : µ < 20 A sample of 40 provided a sample mean of 19.4. The population standard deviation is 2. (a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the mean. We know σ, therefore we should use the z − table. This is a one-tailed (lower tail) test, so the 95% confidence

studies using statistics, with a view to providing a more coherent conclusion regarding a given hypothesis. The initial compilation of such a study is arduous, requiring many hours of dedicated searching. This in itself is one of the strengths of such a technique, providing somewhat of a fine tooth comb for research already conducted and also allowing for integration of unpublished data which may have been of influence; this will be discussed in more depth later. Studies must be first sourced and validated

In the testing areas there are several test methods used by the laboratory to determine protein concentration. One method is the Amino Acid Analysis method (AAA). This method takes the protein and “unzips” the DNA strand of the protein and analyzes the protein for the different Amino Acids, then calculates a theoretical protein concentration based on the testing. Another method employed is the UV absorbance method (A280), where UV light (wavelength 280) is passed through the sample and hits

There is an advantage to stating the hypothesis both in the null and the alternate; it adds clarity to our thinking about what we are testing. Explain. The null hypothesis is set so that the alternate hypothesis becomes testable. When the observed Z value is greater than or equal to the critical Z value for a given confidence level (usually 95 percent), then we know that we ought to accept the alternate hypothesis. If, however, the critical Z value is more than the observed Z value for a given level

error of the first kind) and Type II error (or, error of the second kind) are precise technical terms used in statistics to describe particular flaws in a testing process, where a truenull hypothesis was incorrectly rejected (Type I error) or where one fails to reject a false null hypothesis (Type II error). The terms are also used in a more general way by social scientists and others to refer to flaws in reasoning. This article is specifically devoted to the statistical meanings of those terms

summarize data in a meaningful manner. The analysis helps in determination of patterns that exist in the data. Descriptive statistics simply describes the data but not present an analysis beyond the data. One cannot make any conclusions about any hypothesis using this. The data, when presented to users, is difficult to comprehend in its raw form. Sometimes the sheer size and volume of data may render it impossible to understand what it represents. Descriptive statistics helps in proper presentation

factor that reveals that market movements and prices of stocks are closely related to each other. Upward / downward movement in market index gives trigger to the expectation of investors that the value of their holding would move accordingly. This is, more formally, known as systematic risk arising on account of economic wide uncertainties and explains the tendency of stock's price movement together with changes in market index. Systematic risk, also known as market risk, cannot be reduced through diversification
