Hey! :giggle:

Some people assume that a specific car model does at least $\mu_0=120$ km with $1$ Lt benzin.

$10$ independent tests give the following results: $$104, \ 96, \ 80, \ 100, \ 108, \ 100, \ 112, \ 120, \ 130, \ 132$$

(a) Give the Null Hypothesis $H_0$ and the alternative Hypothesis $H_1$, for the test of that assumption.

(b) Give the statistic function of that test.

(c) late the p-value of the test.

(d) In what confidence level can the assumption be rejected?
For (a) is the null hypothesis $H_0: \ m_0=120$ and the alternative $H_1: \ \mu_1\neq 120$ ?

Hey mathmari!

The assumption says "at least". We're not covering that with $\mu_1\ne 120$. 🤔

So the assumption should be at the alternative hypothesis, or not?

So is it $H_1: \ \mu_1\geq 120$ ? :unsre:

Yep. (Nod)

Generally, if the problem statement contains a word like "less than", "more", or "at least", then we need an inequality in the alternative hypothesis.
It also means that the test is "one-sided". 🧐
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
