10-2 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Learning Objectives In this chapter, you learn: How to use hypothesis testing for comparing the difference between The means of two independent populations The means of two related populations The proportions of two independent populations The variances of two independent populations by testing the ratio of the two variances

10-3 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Two-Sample Tests Population Means, Independent Samples Population Means, Related Samples Population Variances Group 1 vs. Group 2 Same group before vs. after treatment Variance 1 vs. Variance 2 Examples: Population Proportions Proportion 1 vs. Proportion 2 DCOVA

10-4 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Difference Between Two Means Population means, independent samples Goal: Test hypothesis or form a confidence interval for the difference between two population means, μ 1 – μ 2 The point estimate for the difference is X 1 – X 2 * σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, assumed equal σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal DCOVA

10-5 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Difference Between Two Means: Independent Samples Population means, independent samples * Use S p to estimate unknown σ. Use a Pooled-Variance t test. σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, assumed equal σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal Use S 1 and S 2 to estimate unknown σ 1 and σ 2. Use a Separate-variance t test Different data sources Unrelated Independent Sample selected from one population has no effect on the sample selected from the other population DCOVA

10-8 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Population means, independent samples Hypothesis tests for µ 1 - µ 2 with σ 1 and σ 2 unknown and assumed equal Assumptions:  Samples are randomly and independently drawn  Populations are normally distributed or both sample sizes are at least 30  Population variances are unknown but assumed equal * σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, assumed equal σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal DCOVA

10-9 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Population means, independent samples The pooled variance is: The test statistic is: Where t STAT has d.f. = (n 1 + n 2 – 2) (continued) * σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, assumed equal σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal Hypothesis tests for µ 1 - µ 2 with σ 1 and σ 2 unknown and assumed equal DCOVA

10-11 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Pooled-Variance t Test Example You are a financial analyst for a brokerage firm. Is there a difference in dividend yield between stocks listed on the NYSE & NASDAQ? You collect the following data: NYSE NASDAQ Number Sample mean Sample std dev Assuming both populations are approximately normal with equal variances, is there a difference in mean yield (  = 0.05)? DCOVA

10-12 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Pooled-Variance t Test Example: Calculating the Test Statistic The test statistic is: (continued) H0: μ 1 - μ 2 = 0 i.e. (μ 1 = μ 2 ) H1: μ 1 - μ 2 ≠ 0 i.e. (μ 1 ≠ μ 2 ) DCOVA

10-15 Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall Population means, independent samples Hypothesis tests for µ 1 - µ 2 with σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal Assumptions:  Samples are randomly and independently drawn  Populations are normally distributed or both sample sizes are at least 30  Population variances are unknown and cannot be assumed to be equal * σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, assumed equal σ 1 and σ 2 unknown, not assumed equal DCOVA
