The maximum occurs at D =0.0991. ¤<br />

All that remains is to determine the critical value. Commonly used critical values for this test<br />

are 1.22/ √ n for α =0.10, 1.36/ √ n for α =0.05, <strong>and</strong>1.63/ √ n for α =0.01. When u0.<br />

Exercise 80 (*) You are given the following five observations from a r<strong>and</strong>om sample: 0.1, 0.2,<br />

0.5, 1.0, <strong>and</strong> 1.3. Calculate the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic for the null hypothesis that the<br />

population density function is f(x) =2(1+x) −3 , x>0.
