Critical value = 34.8 Critical region: 34.8x For H0 to be rejected, x must lie in the critical region. 34.8x Critical value = 1.64485 Critical region: 1.64485z 37 140 80 cal xz For H0 to be rejected, calz must lie in the critical region. 1.64485 37 1.64485 140 80 calz x 34.8x The set of values of x is 4.8| 3xx (iv) Now do a one-tail z-test at the α% level of significance.

Thus a linear model in the form of y ax b is not appropriate. (iii) From the scatter diagram, as x increases, y increases. Hence c is negative. As x approaches infinity, y approaches d, which is a positive limit (representing the maximum efficiency as power increases).

This estimate is reliable as x = 3 is within the data range for x and 1r indicates strong linear correlation between 1x and y. 9(a) Given: 2~ N(15, )Xa 10 15P( 10) 0.25 P 0.25 aXZ 5 0.67449 7.41 (3 s.f.) a a x x x x x x x C S T x x x x x x x y
