Suppose that a group of researchers is planning to test a new weight loss supplement.
they have selected a random sample of 40 people who are trying to lose weight and plan to measure the amount of weight lost after one month of using the supplement.
assume that the researchers know from prior experiments that the standard deviation of weight lost in one month. sigma, is 1.1 lb.
to show that the supplement is effective, they plan to use a one-sample z-test of h_0: mu = 0 lb against, h_1: mu > 0 lb, where mu is the mean amount of weight lost in one month.
they have also determined that, for a test with a significance level of 0.01, the power of the test is 0.7083 if the mean amount of weight lost is actually 0.5 lb.
what is the probability that the researchers will reject their null hypothesis if the mean amount of weight lost is 0.5 lb or more?

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
