Question

We have specified the "tailedness" of a hypothesis test for a population mean with null hypothesis H0:μ=μ0H_{0}: \mu=\mu_{0}. For each exercise. a. draw the ideal power curve. b. explain what your curve in part (a) portrays. two-tailed

(a) The power is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true.

Since the test is right-tailed, the alternative hypothesis is of the form Ha:μμ0H_a:\mu\neq\mu_0.

The ideal power is then 1 for any value of μ\mu different from μ0\mu_0, because we would then reject the null hypothesis H0:μ=μ0H_0:\mu=\mu_0 whenever the alternative hypothesis Ha:μμ0H_a:\mu\neq\mu_0 is true.
