A portable concrete test instrument used in construction for evaluating and profiling concrete surfaces (MACRS-GDS 5-year property class) is under consideration by a construction firm for $25,500. The instrument will be used for 6 years and be worth $2,500 at that time. The annual cost of use and maintenance will be $13,000. Alternatively, a more automated instrument (same property class) available from the manufacturer costs $26,000, with use and maintenance costs of only $7,500 and salvage value after 6 years...

In order to test ?0:?=.5 vs. ??:?<.5 using the .10 level of significance, a sample of ?=100 will be selected. Suppose that, in reality, the population proportion is .4. (a) The probability the test will commit a type II error is   .___ (b) The power of the test is ___ . Independent random samples, each containing 50 observations, were selected from two populations. The samples from populations 1 and 2 produced 30 and 25 successes, respectively. Test ?0:(?1−?2)=0 against ??:(?1−?2)≠0. Use...
