Virtual COMSATS Inferential Statistics Lecture-32: Ossam Chohan CIIT Abbottabad

The document discusses the power of a statistical test, which is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. It provides an example problem calculating the power and type II error rate for a one-tailed test on a normal distribution with various alternative hypotheses. The document concludes by recapping the key concepts covered in the course on statistical inference, estimation, hypothesis testing, and references for further material.

• Power of Test.
• Course Close up 

The Power of a Test
• The power of a test with respect to the
specified alternative hypothesis, is the
probability of rejecting a null hypothesis when
it is actually false. The power of a test is
complement of β.
• Recall what is β?
• Power = Pr(Reject H0/H0 is false)
• Power = 1- β

4
Special Problem
• A random sample of size 4 is drawn from a
normal population with known variance 15. A
one tailed test of the form H0: µ≤30 against H1:
µ > 30 at 5% level of significance is performed.
Calculate the probabilities of Type-II error (β)
for the values of µ= 31, 32, 34 and 36 in the
alternative hypothesis. Also calculate the
powers of the test and hence sketch the
power curve for this test.
