4. Suppose that we want to test the null hypothesis that the mean of a normal population with σ2 =1. Ho: μ = 10 vs Ha: μ > 10. Determine the minimum sample size needed to test with β(11) = 0.06.

Answer:
From the given data
True mean µ = 11
hypothesis mean, µo = 10
and α = 0.05
Variance = 1 => std.dev = 1
beta = 0.06
delta = true mean - hypothesis mean = 11 -1 = 10
Z ( 0.05 ) = 1.6449 [excel function:
=normsinv(0.05)
Z (0.06) = 1.5548 [excel function:
=normsinv(0.06
sample size formula = n = ( ( Z(ß)+Z(α) )*σ / δ )²
=
( (1.5548+ 1.64 ) 1.0 / ) ² = 10.24 ~ 11
