Step 1 :Given the sequence 1110011100001110101001, we have 10 zeros and 12 ones, and a total of 22 observations.
Step 2 :A run is a consecutive sequence of the same number. Counting the runs in the sequence, we find there are 11 runs.
Step 3 :We calculate the expected number of runs, E(R), using the formula \(E(R) = \frac{2n1n2}{n} + 1\), where n1 is the number of 0's, n2 is the number of 1's, and n is the total number of observations. Substituting the given values, we find \(E(R) = 11.909090909090908\).
Step 4 :We calculate the variance of the number of runs, V(R), using the formula \(V(R) = \frac{2n1n2(2n1n2 - n)}{n^2(n - 1)}\). Substituting the given values, we find \(V(R) = 5.147579693034238\).
Step 5 :We calculate the test statistic, Z, using the formula \(Z = \frac{R - E(R)}{\sqrt{V(R)}}\), where R is the number of runs. Substituting the given values, we find \(Z = -0.40068748260408144\).
Step 6 :Rounding to three decimal places, the value of the test statistic is \(\boxed{-0.401}\).
