Question
A random variable has a distribution with mean and variance 4. A random sample of size 100 is to be taken from the distribution of .
Josie takes a different random sample of size 100 to test the null hypothesis that against the alternative hypothesis that at the 5 % level.
State the central limit theorem as applied to a random sample of size , taken from a distribution with mean and variance .
Jack takes a random sample of size 100 and calculates that . Find an approximate 90 % confidence interval for .
Find the critical region for Josie’s test, giving your answer correct to two decimal places.
Write down the probability that Josie makes a Type I error.
Given that the probability that Josie makes a Type II error is 0.25, find the value of , giving your answer correct to three significant figures.

for (sufficiently) large the sample mean approximately A1
A1
Note: Award the first A1 for large and reference to the sample mean , the second A1 is for normal and the two parameters.
Note: Award the second A1 only if the first A1 is awarded.
Note: Allow ‘ tends to infinity’ or ‘ ≥ 30’ in place of ‘large’.
