7 The random variable \(X\) has the distribution \(\mathrm { N } \left( \mu , 8 ^ { 2 } \right)\). The mean of a random sample of 12 observations of \(X\) is denoted by \(\bar { X }\). A test is carried out at the \(1 \%\) significance level of the null hypothesis \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 80\) against the alternative hypothesis \(\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mu < 80\). The test is summarised as follows: 'Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if \(\bar { X } < c\); otherwise do not reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } { } ^ { \prime }\).
- Calculate the value of \(c\).
- Assuming that \(\mu = 80\), state whether the conclusion of the test is correct, results in a Type I error, or results in a Type II error if:
(a) \(\bar { X } = 74.0\),
(b) \(\bar { X } = 75.0\). - Independent repetitions of the above test, using the value of \(c\) found in part (i), suggest that in fact the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is 0.06 . Use this information to calculate the value of \(\mu\).
