DESCRIPTION
Hypothesis Testing (n = 1) An experiment is designed to determine whether a random variable X has the distribution U(0, 1) or U(0.5, 1.5). H 0 : X is U(0, 1). H 1 : X is U(0.5, 1.5). One value of X is sampled (n = 1).TRANSCRIPT

Hypothesis Testing (n = 1)
An experiment is designed to determine whether a random variable X has the distribution U(0, 1) or U(0.5, 1.5).H0: X is U(0, 1).H1: X is U(0.5, 1.5).
One value of X is sampled (n = 1).

Hypothesis Testing (n = 1)
An experiment is designed to determine whether a random variable X has the distribution U(0, 1) or U(0.5, 1.5).H0: X is U(0, 1).H1: X is U(0.5, 1.5).
One value of X is sampled (n = 1). If X is more than 0.75, then H0 will be
rejected.

Let X2 = the average of the two random numbers.
What is the pdf of X2?

Use Avg2.xls to generate 10000 pairs of values of X.
See whether about 75% of them have an average between 0.25 and 0.75.

Hypothesis Testing (n = 2)
An experiment is designed to determine whether a random variable X has the distribution U(0, 1) or U(0.5, 1.5). H0: X is U(0, 1). H1: X is U(0.5, 1.5).
Two values of X are sampled (n = 2). Let X2 be the average. If X2 is more than 0.75, then H0 will be rejected.

By increasing the sample size, we can lower both and simultaneously.

Hypothesis Testing (n = 3)
An experiment is designed to determine whether a random variable X has the distribution U(0, 1) or U(0.5, 1.5). H0: X is U(0, 1). H1: X is U(0.5, 1.5).
Three values of X3 are sampled (n = 3). Let X3 be the average.
If X3 is more than 0.75, then H0 will be rejected.

Example
Suppose we get 12 random numbers, uniformly distributed between 0 and 1, from the TI-83 and get their average.
Let X12 = average of 12 random numbers from 0 to 1.
What is the pdf of X12?
![Page 40: Continuous Random Variables Lecture 26 Section 7.5.4 Mon, Mar 5, 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999afa6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

It turns out that the pdf of X12 is nearly exactly normal with a mean of 1/2 and a standard deviation of 1/12.

Experiment
Use the Excel spreadsheet Avg12.xls to generate 10000 values of X, where X is the average of 12 random numbers from U(0, 1).
Test the 68-95-99.7 Rule.
