(3) Given
(
(1 + θ)xθ if θ > 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
f (x; θ) =
0 elsewhere
if the hypothesis H0 : θ = 2 is to be tested by taking single
observation on X and using the interval x < 0.25 as the critical
region, (a) calculate the value of α, and (b) calculate the prob-
ability of determining that H0 is false if the true value of θ is 3.

(6) A box is known to contain either three red and four black balls
or four red and three black balls. Three balls are to be drawn
and on the basis of their colors a decision as to the contents of
the box will be made. If H0 corresponds to three red and four
black balls and if H0 will be accepted unless three red balls are
obtained, what are the values of α and β here? [Ref : Exercise-
19, Page-118, Hoel]
and
β = P (not obtaining 3 red balls|H1 )
= 1 − P (obtaining 3 red balls|H1 )
= 1 − 43 / 73 = 1 − 4/35 = 31/35
(a) The new set of value are x01 = x1 + 10, . . . , x0N = xN + 10.
Hence the revised mean and the standard deviations are
µ0 = µ + 10, (σ 0 )2 = σ 2
since x0i − µ0 = xi − µ for each i = 1, . . . , N .
(b) The new set of value are x01 = 1.1x1 , . . . , x0N = 1.1xN . Hence
the revised mean and the standard deviations are
µ0 = 1.1µ, (σ 0 )2 = (1.1)2 σ 2
(10) A purchaser of bricks believes that the quality of the bricks is de-
teriorating. From past experience the mean crushing strength
of such bricks is 400 pounds with a standard deviation of 20
pounds. A sample of 100 bricks yielded a mean of 395 pounds.
Test the hypothesis that the mean quality has not changed
against the alternative that it has deteriorated. [Ref : Exercise-
