Ma260notes_Sull_ch10_HypTestEx.pptx
Test on a single population mean• Intro: So far we’ve studied estimation, or confidence
intervals, focusing on the middle 90% or 95% or 99%• Now the focus is on Hypothesis Testing (using the 1%
or 5% or 10% in the tails instead)
• As in Ch. 8 (CLT) and 9 (CI s), we’ll study both:– Means and – proportions
Courtroom Analogy-Two Hypotheses: Guilty or Not Guilty
Our conclusion (the sentence)
Verdict is Not guilty Verdict is Guilty
Reality Defendant is innocent
Acquittal- Correct conclusion
Error
Defendant is guilty
Error Conviction- Correct conclusion
Hypothesis Testing in Statistics—Note the chance of two different errors (Type I, II)
Types of Hypotheses in Statistical Testing• The null hypothesis H0 is one which expresses the
current state of nature of belief about a population– Note: The hypothesis with the equal sign is the null
• The alternative (or research) hypothesis (H 1 or H
a ) is one which reflects the researcher’s belief. (It will always disagree with the null hypothesis).– Note: the alternative hypothesis can be one or two tailed.– In one tailed tests, the alternative is usually the claim
Summary of Hypothesis test steps1. Null hypothesis H0, alternative hypothesis H1, and preset α
2. Test statistic and sampling distribution
3. P-value and/or critical value4. Test conclusion
5. Interpretation of test results
2-tailed exH0: µ= 100H1: µ ≠ 100α = 0.05
Left tail exH0: µ = 200H1: µ < 200α = 0.05
Right tail exH0: µ = 50H1: µ > 50α = 0.05
CV approach P value approach decisionIf test stat is in RR (Rejection Region)
If p-value ≤ α reject H0
If test stat is not in RR p-value > α do not reject H0
Should you use a 2 tail, or a right, or left tail test?
• Test whether the average in the bag of numbers is or isn’t 100.
• Test if a drug had any effect on heart rate.• Test if a tutor helped the class do better on the
next test.• Test if a drug improved elevated cholesterol.
2-tailed exH0: µ= __H1: µ ≠ __
Left tail exH0: µ = ___H1: µ < ___
Right tail exH0: µ = __H1: µ > __
Example #1- numbers in a bagRecall the experiments with the bags of
numbers.• I claim that µ = 100. We’ll assume =21.9. • Test this hypothesis (that µ = 100 )if your
sample size n= 20 and your sample mean was 90.

H1: µ ≠ 100

Ex #3: Left tail test- cholesterol
• A group has a mean cholesterol of 220. The data is normally distributed with σ= 15
• After a new drug is used, test the claim that it lowers cholesterol.
• Data: n=30, sample mean= = 214.

Ex #4- right tail- tutor
Scores in a MATH117 class have been normally distributed, with a mean of 60 all semester. The teacher believes that a tutor would help. After a few weeks with the tutor, a sample of 35 students’ scores is taken. The sample mean is now 62. Assume a population standard deviation of 5. Has the tutor had a positive effect?

If test stat is not in RR p-value > α do not reject H0
When is unknown…use t tests
Just like with confidence intervals, if we do not know the population standard deviation, we– substitute it with s (the sample standard
deviation) and– Run a t test instead of a z test
First, we’ll review using the t table
Critical values for t• Find the CV for RIGHT tail examples when:
– n=10, = .05– n=15, = .10
• Find the CV for LEFT tail examples when:– n=10, = .05– n=15, = .10
• Find the CV for TWO tail examples when:– n=10, = .05– n=15, = .10– n=20, = .01
Ex #5– t test – placement scores
The placement director states that the average placement score is 75. Based on the following data, test this claim.
• Data: 42 88 99 51 57 78 92 46 57
Ex #5 t test – placement scores

Ex #6- placement scores
The head of the tutoring department claims that the average placement score is below 80. Based on the following data, test this claim.
• Data: 42 88 99 51 57 78 92 46 57
Note: P values for t-tests
• We can use the t-table to approximate these values
• Use “Stat Crunch” on the online-hw to get more exact answers. – See the rectangle to the right of the data

A national study shows that nurses earn $40,000. A career director claims that salaries in her town are higher than the national average. A sample provides the following data:
41,000 42,500 39,000 39,99943,000 43,550 44,200

The Hypothesis Testing templateAlthough hw may be worded differently, questions on the test will
require you to do a 5 or 6 step answer (using either p value or CV)

4. Test conclusion– Reject H0 or notIf test value is in RR (p-value ≤ α), we reject H0.
If test value is not in RR (p-value > α), we do not reject H0

Ex #9
Previous studies show that 29% of eligible voters vote in the mid-terms. News pundits estimate that turnout will be lower than usual. A random sample of 800 adults reveals that 200 planned to vote in the mid-term elections. At the 1% level, test the news pundits’ predictions.
