- If, \(1 \le x \le 1.5\) is the critical region for testing the null hypothesis \(H_0: \theta=1\) against the alternative hypothesis \(H_1: \theta=2\) on the basis of a single observation from the population, \( f(x;\theta) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\theta} & ; 0 \le x \le \theta \\ 0 & ; \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \), then the power of the test, is

- Let X have a probability density function of the form, \( f(x;\theta) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\theta} e^{-x/\theta} & ; 0<x<\infty, \theta>0 \\ 0 & ; \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \) To test null hypothesis \(H_0: \theta = 2\) against the alternate hypothesis \(H_1: \theta = 1\), a random sample of size 2 is taken. For the critical region \(W_0 = \{(x_1, x_2) : 6.5 \le x_1 + x_2\}\), the power of the test is

- Let p be the probability that a coin will fall heads in a single toss in order to test \(H_0: p = \frac{1}{2}\) against the alternate \(H_1: p = \frac{3}{4}\). The coin is tossed five times and \(H_0\) is rejected if 3 or more than 3 heads are obtained. Then, the probability of Type I error, is

- If, \(x \ge 1\) is the critical region for testing \(H_0: \theta = 2\) against the alternate \(H_1: \theta = 1\). On the basis of a single observation from the population \(f(x;\theta) = \theta e^{-x\theta}; x>0, \theta>0\), then the size of Type II error is:
