case 2. 1 ≤ z < 2. In This case FZ (z) = P (Z ≤ z) = P (X + Y ≤ z) = 1 − P (X + Y > z) Now P (X + Y > z) for z > 1 is simply the area of the triangle formed by the intersection of the sets A = {(x, y) : x + y > z} and B = {(x, y) :, 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1 } which is (2−z)

The purpose is to test the hypothesis H 0 : θ = 1 against the alternative hypothesis H 1 : θ > 1.
(a) Show that the likelihood ratio L(θ = 1; X)/L(θ = θ 1 ; X) is based upon the statistic Y =

By the Neyman-Pearson Theorem, the best critical region C for testing H 0 : θ = 1 against H 1 : θ = θ 1
takes the form of {(x 1 ,... , xn) :
∑n i=1 x^2 i ≥^ c}, where the constant c is determined by
PH 0 (X ∈ C) = α
If n = 15, Y ∼ χ^2 (15) under the null hypothesis. By the chi-square table attached, c = 24.996 if α = 0.05. Note that the best critical region C does not depend on θ 1. So
(x 1 ,... , xn) :
∑^ n

is a uniformly most powerful critical region of size α = 0. 05 for testing H 0 : θ = 1 against H 1 : θ > 1.
In a study of effectiveness of hypnosis the emotions of fear, happiness, depres- sion, and calmness were requested in random order for each of five subjects during hypnosis. The following table gives the resulting measurements of skin potential (adjusted for initial level) in millivolts.

Assuming that the skin potential of a person has different levels in the four types of emotions suppose we want to test whether hypnosis can cause these emotions. (a) Describe the basic model of the Friedman test, give its test statistic S, and compute S. (b) Explain why the Friedman test is here more appropriate than the Kruskal- Wallis test.

In studying the thrust force developed by a drill press, it is thought that drilling speed and feed rate of the material are the most important factors. An experiment is conducted with 4 feed rates and two drill speeds. The experiment is conducted by using a completely randomized design with 2 replicates for each level combination. The measurements(thrust force) are presented in the table below:
Drill speed Feed Ratio 0.015 .030 0.045 0. 125 2.70 2.45 2.60 2. 2.78 2.49 2.72 2. 200 2.83 2.85 2.86 2. 2.86 2.80 2.87 2.

based on two replicates, are shown in the following table.
Treatment mean

For the contrast corresponding to the main effect of factor A, compute an estimate and the corresponding standard error.
(iii.) It turned out that A and AB were the only significant factorial effects. With this information and the treatment means given in part (ii.) discuss in as much detail as you can at how the three factors A, B, and C affect the response. Also decide which treatment(s) you would recommend if it was desirable to maximize the response. (Hint: An appropriate two- way table might be helpful).
