10.   For healthy individuals the level of prothrombin in the blood is approximately normally distributed with mean 20 mg/100 mL and standard  deviation 4 mg/100 mL. Low levels indicate low clotting abil- ity. In studying the effect of gallstones on prothrom- bin, the level of each patient in a sample is measured to see if there is a de ciency. Let m be the true aver- age level of prothrombin for gallstone patients.
a.   What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?
b.    ![]()
Let X denote the sample average level of pro- thrombin in a sample of n = 20 randomly se- lected gallstone patients. Consider the test proce- dure with test statistic X and rejection  region x 17.92. What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when H0 is true? What is the prob- ability of a type I error for the test procedure?
c.   What is the probability distribution of the test
statistic when m = 16.7? Using the test proce- dure of part (b), what is the probability that gall- stone patients will be judged not de cient in pro- thrombin, when in fact m = 16.7 (a type II error)?
d.   How would you change the test procedure of part
(b) to obtain a test with signi cance level .05? What impact would this change have on the error probability of part (c)?
e.   Consider  the  standardized  test  statistic  Z  = 1X - 202 / 1s/ 1n 2 = 1X - 202 /.8944. What are the values of Z corresponding to the rejection re- gion of part (b)?
