EXERCISE 5.2
(a) A 95% confidence interval for 2
is
2 (0.975,6) 2
se( ) 0.8125 2.447 0.1999 (0.3233, 1.3017)bt b
(b) The null and alternative hypotheses are
02 12
:1, :1HH
The calculated t-value is

At a 5% significance level, we reject 0
H if (0.975, 6) 2.447tt
. Since 0.9377 2.447
,
we do not reject 0
H.
