Sampling Distribution of If and are normally distributed and samples 1 and 2 are independent, their difference is The normal distribution is not used if   and   are unknown. The t-distribution is used instead with

Sampling Distribution of n 1 p 1 > 5 n 1 (1  p 1 ) > 5 n 2 p 2 > 5 n 2 (1  p 2 ) > 5 If and are normally distributed and samples 1 and 2 are independent, their difference is The sample proportions are pooled (averaged) when testing the equality of proportions.

Sampling Distribution of If and are normally distributed and samples 1 and 2 are independent, their difference is The sample proportions are pooled (averaged) when testing whether the proportions are equal or not.

In a test of driving distance using a mechanical driving device, a sample of Par golf balls was compared with a sample of golf balls made by Rap, Ltd., a competitor. The sample statistics appear on the next slide. Par, Inc. is a manufacturer of golf equipment and has developed a new golf ball that has been designed to provide “extra distance.” Example 1 Interval estimate of

Sample Size Sample Mean Sample #1 Par, Inc. Sample #2 Rap, Ltd. 120 balls 80 balls 275 yards 258 yards Based on data from previous driving distance tests, the two population standard deviations are 15 and 20 yards, respectively. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the mean driving distances of the two brands of golf balls. x 1  x 2 = 275 – 258 = 17 Example 1 Interval estimate of

Market Research Associates is conducting research to evaluate the effectiveness of a client’s new advertising campaign. Before the new campaign began, a telephone survey of 150 households in the test market area showed 60 households “aware” of the client’s product. The new campaign has been initiated with TV and newspaper advertisements running for three weeks. A survey conducted immediately after the new campaign showed 120 of 250 households “aware” of the client’s product. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of households that are aware of the client’s product. Example 3 Interval estimate of

Example: Express Deliveries A Chicago-based firm has documents that must be quickly distributed to district offices throughout the U.S. The firm must decide between two delivery services, UPX (United Parcel Express) and INTEX (International Express), to transport its documents. In testing the delivery times of the two services, the firm sent two reports to a random sample of its district offices with one report carried by UPX and the other report carried by INTEX. Do the data on the next slide indicate a difference in mean delivery times for the two services? Use a 5% level of significance. Matched Samples
