A biologist hypothesizes that the mean life expectancy of a mosquito is 14 days. Researchers believe the true mean is less than 14 days and they plan a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level on a random sample of 60 of these mosquitos. If the alternative hypothesis is correct, for which of the following values of μ is the power of the test greatest?
μ = 9
μ = 7
μ = 10
μ = 14
μ = 18

Based on the alternative hypothesis, the value of μ that will have the greatest test power is μ = 7.

Which value of μ will have the greatest power of test?

The alternative hypothesis is that Hₐ : μ < 14.

For the alternative hypothesis to be right, μ will have to be less than 1.4.

μ will also give a greater test power the lower it is below 14. From the options therefore, μ with the greatest test power would be 7.
