Stats II Question ? [Prev. Q.] [Next Q.] [Prev. Chap.] [Next Chap.] [goto]

Suppose that a pool player "runs out" (pockets all his/her balls without missing) a proportion p of the timeand that it is desired to test the following hypothesis. H0: p = .7 H1: p = .8 Suppose also that 20 games are observed at random. Let X denote the number of "run outs" the pool player executes. Also suppose you will reject H0 for X > 16, what are the approx type-1 & type-2 error percentages. 90%, 40% 10%, 40% 10%, 60% 3%, 20% 90%, 60%
