2. 2 Differences between Groups when Comparing Means Interval or ratio scaled variables t-test –When groups are small –When population standard deviation is unknown z-test –When groups are large

4. 4 Null Hypothesis about Mean Differences between Groups

5. 5 X 1 = mean for Group 1 X 2 = mean for Group 2 S X 1 -X 2 = the pooled or combined standard error of difference between means t-Test for Difference of Means

6. 6 Pooled Estimate of the Standard Error t-test for the Difference of Means S 1 2 = the variance of Group 1 S 2 2 = the variance of Group 2 n 1 = the sample size of Group 1 n 2 = the sample size of Group 2

13. 13 Z-Test for Differences of Proportions p1 = sample portion of successes in Group 1 p2 = sample portion of successes in Group 2 (p1 - p1) = hypothesized population proportion 1 minus hypothesized population proportion 1 minus Sp1-p2 = pooled estimate of the standard errors of difference of proportions

14. 14 Z-Test for Differences of Proportions: Standard Deviation p = pooled estimate of proportion of success in a sample of both groups p =(1- p) or a pooled estimate of proportion of failures in a sample of both groups n 1 = sample size for group 1 n 2 = sample size for group 2
