Get started for freeThe driver of a diesel-powered automobile decided to test the quality of three types of diesel fuel sold in the area based on mpg. Test the null hypothesis that the three means are equal using the following data. Make the usual assumptions and take \(\alpha=0.05\). $$ \begin{array}{llllll} \text { Brand A: } & 38.7 & 39.2 & 40.1 & 38.9 & \\ \text { Brand B: } & 41.9 & 42.3 & 41.3 & & \\ \text { Brand C: } & 40.8 & 41.2 & 39.5 & 38.9 & 40.3 \end{array} $$
Let \(Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) be two nonnegative quadratic forms in the observations of a random sample from a distribution which is \(N\left(0, \sigma^{2}\right) .\) Show that another quadratic form \(Q\) is independent of \(Q_{1}+Q_{2}\) if and only if \(Q\) is independent of each of \(Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) Hint: \(\quad\) Consider the orthogonal transformation that diagonalizes the matrix of \(Q_{1}+Q_{2}\). After this transformation, what are the forms of the matrices \(Q, Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) if \(Q\) and \(Q_{1}+Q_{2}\) are independent?
Let \(Q=X_{1} X_{2}-X_{3} X_{4}\), where \(X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3}, X_{4}\) is a random sample of size 4 from a distribution which is \(N\left(0, \sigma^{2}\right) .\) Show that \(Q / \sigma^{2}\) does not have a chi-square distribution. Find the mgf of \(Q / \sigma^{2}\).
(Bonferroni Multiple Comparison Procedure). In the notation of this section, let \(\left(k_{i 1}, k_{i 2}, \ldots, k_{i b}\right), i=1,2, \ldots, m\), represent a finite number of \(b\) -tuples. The problem is to find simultaneous confidence intervals for \(\sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{i j} \mu_{j}, i=1,2, \ldots, m\), by a method different from that of Scheffé. Define the random variable \(T_{i}\) by $$ \left(\sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{i j} \bar{X}_{. j}-\sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{i j} \mu_{j}\right) / \sqrt{\left(\sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{i j}^{2}\right) V / a}, \quad i=1,2, \ldots, m $$ (a) Let the event \(A_{i}^{c}\) be given by \(-c_{i} \leq T_{i} \leq c_{i}, i=1,2, \ldots, m\). Find the random variables \(U_{i}\) and \(W_{i}\) such that \(U_{i} \leq \sum_{1}^{b} k_{i j} \mu_{j} \leq W_{j}\) is equivalent to \(A_{i}^{c}\) (b) Select \(c_{i}\) such that \(P\left(A_{i}^{c}\right)=1-\alpha / m ;\) that is, \(P\left(A_{i}\right)=\alpha / m .\) Use Exercise 9.4.1 to determine a lower bound on the probability that simultaneously the random intervals \(\left(U_{1}, W_{1}\right), \ldots,\left(U_{m}, W_{m}\right)\) include \(\sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{1 j} \mu_{j}, \ldots, \sum_{j=1}^{b} k_{m j} \mu_{j}\) respectively. (c) Let \(a=3, b=6\), and \(\alpha=0.05\). Consider the linear functions \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}, \mu_{2}-\mu_{3}\), \(\mu_{3}-\mu_{4}, \mu_{4}-\left(\mu_{5}+\mu_{6}\right) / 2\), and \(\left(\mu_{1}+\mu_{2}+\cdots+\mu_{6}\right) / 6 .\) Here \(m=5 .\) Show that the lengths of the confidence intervals given by the results of Part (b) are shorter than the corresponding ones given by the method of Scheffé as described in the text. If \(m\) becomes sufficiently large, however, this is not the case.
Here \(Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) are quadratic forms in observations of a random sample from \(N(0,1) .\) If \(Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) are independent and if \(Q_{1}+Q_{2}\) has a chi-square distribution, prove that \(Q_{1}\) and \(Q_{2}\) are chi-square variables.
