4 Section 7.1 Objectives State a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis Identify type I and type II errors and interpret the level of significance Determine whether to use a one-tailed or two-tailed statistical test and find a p-value Make and interpret a decision based on the results of a statistical test Write a claim for a hypothesis test © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 4 of 101

5 Hypothesis Tests Hypothesis test A process that uses sample statistics to test a claim about the value of a population parameter. For example: An automobile manufacturer advertises that its new hybrid car has a mean mileage of 50 miles per gallon. To test this claim, a sample would be taken. If the sample mean differs enough from the advertised mean, you can decide the advertisement is wrong. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 5 of 101

6 Hypothesis Tests Statistical hypothesis A statement, or claim, about a population parameter (such as the mean). Need a pair of hypotheses one that represents the claim the other, its complement When one of these hypotheses is false, the other must be true. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 6 of 101

7 Stating a Hypothesis Null hypothesis A statistical hypothesis that contains a statement of equality such as ≤, =, or ≥. Denoted H 0 read “H sub-zero” or “H naught.” (or H –o) Alternative hypothesis A statement of strict inequality such as >, ≠, or <. Must be true if H 0 is false. Denoted H a read “H sub-a.” (or H – a) complementary statements © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 7 of 101

8 Stating a Hypothesis To write the null and alternative hypotheses, translate the claim made about the population parameter from a verbal statement to a mathematical statement. Then write its complement. H 0 : μ ≤ k H a : μ > k H 0 : μ ≥ k H a : μ < k H 0 : μ = k H a : μ ≠ k Regardless of which pair of hypotheses you use, you always assume μ = k and examine the sampling distribution on the basis of this assumption. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 8 of 101

9 Example: Stating the Null and Alternative Hypotheses Write the claim as a mathematical sentence. State the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim. 1. A school publicizes that the proportion of its students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity is 61%. Equality condition Complement of H 0 H0:Ha:H0:Ha: (Claim) p = 0.61 p ≠ 0.61 Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 9 of 101

10 μ ≥ 15 minutes Example: Stating the Null and Alternative Hypotheses Write the claim as a mathematical sentence. State the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim. 2. A car dealership announces that the mean time for an oil change is less than 15 minutes. Inequality condition Complement of H a H0:Ha:H0:Ha: (Claim) μ < 15 minutes Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 of 101

11 μ ≤ 18 years Example: Stating the Null and Alternative Hypotheses Write the claim as a mathematical sentence. State the null and alternative hypotheses and identify which represents the claim. 3. A company advertises that the mean life of its furnaces is more than 18 years Inequality condition Complement of H a H0:Ha:H0:Ha: (Claim) μ > 18 years Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 11 of 101

12 Types of Errors No matter which hypothesis represents the claim, always begin the hypothesis test assuming that the equality condition in the null hypothesis is true. (NOTE: This may or may not be the claim) At the end of the test, one of two decisions will be made:  reject the null hypothesis  fail to reject the null hypothesis (FTR) Because your decision is based on a sample, there is the possibility of making the wrong decision. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 12 of 101

13 Types of Errors A type I error occurs if the null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. A type II error occurs if the null hypothesis is not rejected when it is false. Hint: 1 comes before 2, True comes before False Actual Truth of H 0 DecisionH 0 is trueH 0 is false Do not reject H 0 Correct DecisionType II Error Reject H 0 Type I ErrorCorrect Decision © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 13 of 101 KNOW THESE

14 Types of Errors Another way of looking at a Type 1 and Type 2 error: Type 1 Error –Rejecting a true “claim” Type 2 Error –Accepting (Failing To Reject, or FTR) a false “claim” Larson/Farber 5th ed. 14

15 Example: Identifying Type I and Type II Errors The USDA limit for salmonella contamination for chicken is 20%. A meat inspector reports that the chicken produced by a company exceeds the USDA limit. You perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the meat inspector’s claim is true. When will a type I or type II error occur? Which is more serious? (Source: United States Department of Agriculture) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 15 of 101

16 Let p represent the proportion of chicken that is contaminated. Solution: Identifying Type I and Type II Errors H0:Ha:H0:Ha: p ≤ 0.2 p > 0.2 Hypotheses: (Claim) 0.160.180.200.220.24 p H 0 : p ≤ 0.20H 0 : p > 0.20 Chicken meets USDA limits. Chicken exceeds USDA limits. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 of 101

17 Solution: Identifying Type I and Type II Errors A type I error is rejecting H 0 when it is true. The actual proportion of contaminated chicken is less than or equal to 0.2, but you decide to reject H 0. A type II error is failing to reject H 0 when it is false. The actual proportion of contaminated chicken is greater than 0.2, but you do not reject H 0. H0:Ha:H0:Ha: p ≤ 0.2 p > 0.2 Hypotheses: (Claim) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 of 101

18 Solution: Identifying Type I and Type II Errors H0:Ha:H0:Ha: p ≤ 0.2 p > 0.2 Hypotheses: (Claim) With a type I error, you might create a health scare and hurt the sales of chicken producers who were actually meeting the USDA limits. With a type II error, you could be allowing chicken that exceeded the USDA contamination limit to be sold to consumers. A type II error could result in sickness or even death. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 18 of 101

19 Level of Significance Level of significance Your maximum allowable probability of making a type I error.  Denoted by α, the lowercase Greek letter alpha. By setting the level of significance at a small value, you are saying that you want the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis to be small. Commonly used levels of significance:  α = 0.10α = 0.05α = 0.01 P(type II error) = β (beta)  We won’t cover this much, it’s higher level statistics. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 19 of 101

20 Statistical Tests After stating the null and alternative hypotheses and specifying the level of significance, a random sample is taken from the population and sample statistics are calculated. The statistic that is compared with the parameter in the null hypothesis is called the test statistic. σ2σ2 χ 2 (Section 7.5)s2s2 z (Section 7.4) p t (Section 7.3 n < 30) z (Section 7.2 n ≥ 30) μ Standardized test statistic Test statisticPopulation parameter © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 20 of 101

21 P-values P-value (or probability value) The probability, if the null hypothesis is true, of obtaining a sample statistic with a value as extreme or more extreme than the one determined from the sample data. Depends on the nature of the test. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 21 of 101

22 Nature of the Test Three types of hypothesis tests  left-tailed test  right-tailed test  two-tailed test The type of test depends on the region of the sampling distribution that favors a rejection of H 0. This region is indicated by the alternative hypothesis. In other words, we’re testing the alternative hypothesis © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 22 of 101

23 Left-tailed Test The alternative hypothesis H a contains the less-than inequality symbol (<). z 0123–3–2–1 Test statistic H 0 : μ ≥ k H a : μ < k P is the area to the left of the standardized test statistic. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 23 of 101

24 The alternative hypothesis H a contains the greater- than inequality symbol (>). Right-tailed Test H 0 : μ ≤ k H a : μ > k Test statistic © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 24 of 101 z 0123–3–2–1 P is the area to the right of the standardized test statistic.

25 Two-tailed Test The alternative hypothesis H a contains the not-equal- to symbol (≠). Each tail has an area of ½P. z 0123–3–2–1 Test statistic H 0 : μ = k H a : μ ≠ k P is twice the area to the left of the negative standardized test statistic. P is twice the area to the right of the positive standardized test statistic. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 25 of 101

26 Example: Identifying The Nature of a Test For each claim, state H 0 and H a. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test. Sketch a normal sampling distribution and shade the area for the P-value. 1. A school publicizes that the proportion of its students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity is 61%. H0:Ha:H0:Ha: p = 0.61 p ≠ 0.61 Two-tailed test Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 26 of 101

27 Example: Identifying The Nature of a Test For each claim, state H 0 and H a. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test. Sketch a normal sampling distribution and shade the area for the P-value. 2. A car dealership announces that the mean time for an oil change is less than 15 minutes. H0:Ha:H0:Ha: Left-tailed test z 0-z P-value area μ ≥ 15 min μ < 15 min Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 27 of 101

28 Example: Identifying The Nature of a Test For each claim, state H 0 and H a. Then determine whether the hypothesis test is a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test. Sketch a normal sampling distribution and shade the area for the P-value. 3. A company advertises that the mean life of its furnaces is more than 18 years. H0:Ha:H0:Ha: Right-tailed test z 0 z P-value area μ ≤ 18 yr μ > 18 yr Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 28 of 101

29 Making a Decision Decision Rule Based on P-value Compare the P-value with α.  If P ≤ α, then reject H 0.  If P > α, then fail to reject H 0. Claim DecisionClaim is H 0 Claim is H a Reject H 0 Fail to reject H 0 There is enough evidence to reject the claim There is not enough evidence to reject the claim There is enough evidence to support the claim There is not enough evidence to support the claim © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 29 of 101 Remember, α is your maximum allowable probability of making a type I error.

30 Example: Interpreting a Decision You perform a hypothesis test for the following claim. How should you interpret your decision if you reject H 0 ? If you fail to reject H 0 ? 1. H 0 (Claim): A school publicizes that the proportion of its students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity is 61%. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 30 of 101 Solution: The claim is represented by H 0.

31 Solution: Interpreting a Decision If you reject H 0, then you should conclude “there is enough evidence to reject the school’s claim that the proportion of students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity is 61%.” If you fail to reject H 0, then you should conclude “there is not enough evidence to reject the school’s claim that proportion of students who are involved in at least one extracurricular activity is 61%.” © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 31 of 101

32 Example: Interpreting a Decision You perform a hypothesis test for the following claim. How should you interpret your decision if you reject H 0 ? If you fail to reject H 0 ? 2. H a (Claim): A car dealership announces that the mean time for an oil change is less than 15 minutes. Solution: The claim is represented by H a. H 0 is “the mean time for an oil change is greater than or equal to 15 minutes.” © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 32 of 101

33 Solution: Interpreting a Decision If you reject H 0, then you should conclude “there is enough evidence to support the dealership’s claim that the mean time for an oil change is less than 15 minutes.” If you fail to reject H 0, then you should conclude “there is not enough evidence to support the dealership’s claim that the mean time for an oil change is less than 15 minutes.” © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

34 z 0 Steps for Hypothesis Testing 1.State the claim mathematically and verbally. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. H 0 : ? H a : ? 2.Specify the level of significance. α = ? 3.Determine the standardized sampling distribution and sketch its graph. 4.Calculate the test statistic and its corresponding standardized test statistic. Add it to your sketch. z 0 Standardized test statistic This sampling distribution is based on the assumption that H 0 is true. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 34 of 101

35 Steps for Hypothesis Testing 5.Find the P-value. 6.Use the following decision rule. 7.Write a statement to interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Is the P-value less than or equal to the level of significance? Fail to reject H 0. Yes Reject H 0. No © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 35 of 101 Remember: P-Value is t he probability, if the null hypothesis is true, of obtaining a sample statistic with a value as extreme or more extreme than the one determined from the sample data. So, if my sample is more extreme than my level of significance, I have to reject the null hypothesis What you evaluating is the AREA in the tail

39 Section 7.2 Objectives Find P-values and use them to test a mean μ Use P-values for a z-test Find critical values and rejection regions in a normal distribution Use rejection regions for a z-test © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 39 of 101

40 Using P-values to Make a Decision Decision Rule Based on P-value To use a P-value to make a conclusion in a hypothesis test, compare the P-value with α. 1.If P ≤ α, then reject H 0. 2.If P > α, then fail to reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 40 of 101

41 Example: Interpreting a P-value The P-value for a hypothesis test is P = 0.0237. What is your decision if the level of significance is 1. α = 0.05? 2. α = 0.01? Solution: Because 0.0237 < 0.05, you should reject the null hypothesis. –This would be outside the limits of the tail Solution: Because 0.0237 > 0.01, you should fail to reject the null hypothesis. -This would be inside our limits © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 41 of 101

42 Finding the P-value After determining the hypothesis test’s standardized test statistic and the test statistic’s corresponding area, do one of the following to find the P-value. a. For a left-tailed test, P = (Area in left tail). b. For a right-tailed test, P = (Area in right tail). c. For a two-tailed test, P = 2(Area in tail of test statistic). © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 42 of 101

43 Example: Finding the P-value Find the P-value for a left-tailed hypothesis test with a test statistic of z = –2.23. Decide whether to reject H 0 if the level of significance is α = 0.01. z 0-2.23 P = 0.0129 Solution: For a left-tailed test, P = (Area in left tail) Because 0.0129 > 0.01, you should fail to reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 43 of 101

44 On a Calculator Calculate P-Value  2 nd Vars  normalcdf  For a left tail test enter (–EE99,Zscore)  For a right tail test enter (Zscore, EE99)  For a 2 tail test, do one or the other and multiply your answer times 2 (for 2 tails) Larson/Farber 5th ed. 44

45 z 02.14 Example: Finding the P-value Find the P-value for a two-tailed hypothesis test with a test statistic of z = 2.14. Decide whether to reject H 0 if the level of significance is α = 0.05. Solution: For a two-tailed test, P = 2(Area in tail of test statistic) Because 0.0324 < 0.05, you should reject H 0. 0.9838 1 – 0.9838 = 0.0162 P = 2(0.0162) = 0.0324 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

46 Z-Test for a Mean μ Can be used when the population is normal and σ is known, or for any population when the sample size n is at least 30. The test statistic is the sample mean The standardized test statistic is z When n ≥ 30, the sample standard deviation s can be substituted for σ. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

47 Using P-values for a z-Test for Mean μ 1.State the claim mathematically and verbally. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. 2.Specify the level of significance. 3.Determine the standardized test statistic. 4.Find the area that corresponds to z. State H 0 and H a. Identify α. Use Table 4 in Appendix B. In WordsIn Symbols © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 47 of 101

48 Using P-values for a z-Test for Mean μ Reject H 0 if P-value is less than or equal to α. Otherwise, fail to reject H 0. 5.Find the P-value. a.For a left-tailed test, P = (Area in left tail). b.For a right-tailed test, P = (Area in right tail). c.For a two-tailed test, P = 2(Area in tail of test statistic). 6.Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 7.Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

49 Example: Hypothesis Testing Using P- values In auto racing, a pit crew claims that its mean pit stop time (for 4 new tires and fuel) is less than 13 seconds. A random selection of 32 pit stop times has a sample mean of 12.9 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.19 second. Is there enough evidence to support the claim at α = 0.01? Use a P-value. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 49 of 101

50 Solution: Hypothesis Testing Using P- values H 0 : H a :  = Test Statistic: μ ≥ 13 sec μ < 13 sec (Claim) 0.01 Decision: At the 1% level of significance, you have sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean pit stop time is less than 13 seconds. P-value 0.0014 < 0.01 Reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 50 of 101

51 On a Calculator Stats  Tests  Z-Test Input Stats Enter the mean, the standard deviation, the sample mean, and n Here were our 2 equations: We will test the claim, so chose < μ 0 We get a p-value of.00145, which is less than.01 Larson/Farber 5th ed. 51 H 0 : H a :  = μ ≥ 13 sec μ < 13 sec (Claim) 0.01 (alpha) Therefore, we should reject the null hypothesis, because our sample value is outside the limit we set for ourselves

52 Example: Hypothesis Testing Using P- values The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases reports that the average cost of bariatric (weight loss) surgery is $22,500. You think this information is incorrect. You randomly select 30 bariatric surgery patients and find that the average cost for their surgeries is $21,545 with a standard deviation of $3015. Is there enough evidence to support your claim at α = 0.05? Use a P-value. (Adapted from National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 52 of 101

53 Solution: Hypothesis Testing Using P- values H 0 : H a : α = Test Statistic: μ = $22,500 μ ≠ 22,500 (Claim) 0.05 Decision: At the 5% level of significance, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean cost of bariatric surgery is different from $22,500. P-value 0.0836 > 0.05 Fail to reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 53 of 101

54 Rejection Regions and Critical Values Rejection region (or critical region) The range of values for which the null hypothesis is not probable. If a test statistic falls in this region, the null hypothesis is rejected. A critical value z 0 separates the rejection region from the nonrejection region. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 54 of 101

55 Rejection Regions and Critical Values Finding Critical Values in a Normal Distribution 1.Specify the level of significance α. 2.Decide whether the test is left-, right-, or two-tailed. 3.Find the critical value(s) z 0. If the hypothesis test is a.left-tailed, find the z-score that corresponds to an area of α, b.right-tailed, find the z-score that corresponds to an area of 1 – α, c.two-tailed, find the z-score that corresponds to ½ α and 1 – ½ α. 4.Sketch the standard normal distribution. Draw a vertical line at each critical value and shade the rejection region(s). © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 55 of 101

56 Example: Finding Critical Values Find the critical value and rejection region for a two- tailed test with α = 0.05. z 0z0z0 z0z0 ½α = 0.025 1 – α = 0.95 The rejection regions are to the left of –z 0 = –1.96 and to the right of z 0 = 1.96. z 0 = 1.96–z 0 = –1.96 Solution: © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 56 of 101 Calculator: Again, we can use invNorm(.025) and select either or both tails

57 Decision Rule Based on Rejection Region To use a rejection region to conduct a hypothesis test, calculate the standardized test statistic, z. If the standardized test statistic 1. is in the rejection region, then reject H 0. 2. is not in the rejection region, then fail to reject H 0. z 0 z0z0 Fail to reject H 0. Reject H 0. Left-Tailed Test z < z 0 z 0 z0z0 Reject H o. Fail to reject H o. z > z 0 Right-Tailed Test z 0 –z0–z0 Two-Tailed Test z0z0 z < –z 0 z > z 0 Reject H 0 Fail to reject H 0 Reject H 0 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 57 of 101

58 Using Rejection Regions for a z-Test for a Mean μ 1.State the claim mathematically and verbally. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. 2.Specify the level of significance. 3.Determine the critical value(s). 4.Determine the rejection region(s). State H 0 and H a. Identify α. Use Table 4 in Appendix B. In WordsIn Symbols © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 58 of 101

59 Using Rejection Regions for a z-Test for a Mean μ 5.Find the standardized test statistic. 6.Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 7.Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. If z is in the rejection region, reject H 0. Otherwise, fail to reject H 0. In WordsIn Symbols © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 59 of 101

60 Example: Testing with Rejection Regions Employees at a construction and mining company claim that the mean salary of the company’s mechanical engineers is less than that of the one of its competitors, which is $68,000. A random sample of 30 of the company’s mechanical engineers has a mean salary of $66,900 with a standard deviation of $5500. At α = 0.05, test the employees’ claim. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 60 of 101

61 Solution: Testing with Rejection Regions H 0 : H a : α = Rejection Region: μ ≥ $68,000 μ < $68,000 (Claim) 0.05 Decision: At the 5% level of significance, there is not sufficient evidence to support the employees’ claim that the mean salary is less than $68,000. Test Statistic Fail to reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 61 of 101

62 On a Calculator Stats  Tests  Z-Test Input Stats Enter the mean, the standard deviation, the sample mean, and n Here were our 2 equations: We will test the claim, so chose < μ 0 We get a z-score of -1.09, which is inside our desired area 62 H 0 : H a :  = Therefore, we should not reject the null hypothesis, because our sample value is inside the limit we set for ourselves μ ≥ $68,000 μ < $68,000 (Claim) 0.05 Note: You could also compare P- Value to alpha. The p-value is not less than alpha, so we do not reject the null hypothesis

63 Example: Testing with Rejection Regions The U.S. Department of Agriculture claims that the mean cost of raising a child from birth to age 2 by husband-wife families in the U.S. is $13,120. A random sample of 500 children (age 2) has a mean cost of $12,925 with a standard deviation of $1745. At α = 0.10, is there enough evidence to reject the claim?

If the hypothesis test is a.left-tailed, use “One Tail, α ” column with a negative sign, b.right-tailed, use “One Tail, α ” column with a positive sign, c.two-tailed, use “Two Tails, α ” column with a negative and a positive sign. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

71 Example: Finding Critical Values for t Find the critical value t 0 for a left-tailed test given α = 0.05 and n = 21. Solution: The degrees of freedom are d.f. = n – 1 = 21 – 1 = 20. Look at α = 0.05 in the “One Tail, α” column. Because the test is left- tailed, the critical value is negative. t 0 t 0 = –1.725 0.05 © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 71 of 101

72 On the Calculator 2 nd Vars  InvT(area,D.F.) Area = α = 0.05 n = 21 so D.F. = 20 Solve InvT(.05,20) and get -1.7247 or -1.725 NOTE: This is a left tailed test. For a right tailed test, use the “Positive” answer  1.725 Larson/Farber 5th ed. 72

73 Example: Finding Critical Values for t Find the critical values –t 0 and t 0 for a two-tailed test given α = 0.10 and n = 26. Solution: The degrees of freedom are d.f. = n – 1 = 26 – 1 = 25. Look at α = 0.10 in the “Two Tail, α” column. Because the test is two- tailed, one critical value is negative and one is positive. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 73 of 101

74 On a Calculator 2 nd Vars  InvT(area,D.F.) Area = α = 0.10 HOWEVER, this is the total area. So we need to divide this in half since InvT solves for one tail n = 26 so D.F. = 25 Solve InvT(.05,25) and get -1.708 NOTE: This is a two tailed test. Therefore, we must have 2 rejection regions -1.708 and 1.708 This will give us our total area of.10 Larson/Farber 5th ed. 74

75 t-Test for a Mean μ (n < 30, σ Unknown) t-Test for a Mean A statistical test for a population mean. The t-test can be used when the population is normal or nearly normal, σ is unknown, and n < 30. The test statistic is the sample mean The standardized test statistic is t. The degrees of freedom are d.f. = n – 1. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 75 of 101

76 Using the t-Test for a Mean μ (Small Sample) 1.State the claim mathematically and verbally. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. 2.Specify the level of significance. 3.Identify the degrees of freedom. 4.Determine the critical value(s). 5.Determine the rejection region(s). State H 0 and H a. Identify α. Use Table 5 in Appendix B. d.f. = n – 1. In WordsIn Symbols © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 76 of 101

77 Using the t-Test for a Mean μ (Small Sample) 6.Find the standardized test statistic and sketch the sampling distribution 7.Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 8.Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. If t is in the rejection region, reject H 0. Otherwise, fail to reject H 0. In WordsIn Symbols © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 77 of 101

78 Example: Testing μ with a Small Sample A used car dealer says that the mean price of a 2008 Honda CR-V is at least $20,500. You suspect this claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 14 similar vehicles has a mean price of $19,850 and a standard deviation of $1084. Is there enough evidence to reject the dealer’s claim at α = 0.05? Assume the population is normally distributed. (Adapted from Kelley Blue Book) © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 78 of 101

79 Solution: Testing μ with a Small Sample H 0 : H a : α = df = Rejection Region: Test Statistic: Decision: μ ≥ $20,500 (Claim) μ < $20,500 0.05 14 – 1 = 13 At the 5% level of significance, there is enough evidence to reject the claim that the mean price of a 2008 Honda CR-V is at least $20,500. Reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 79 of 101 t ≈ –2.244

80 On the Calculator Stats  Test  Ttest You must test the ALTERNATE Hypothesis Which means you have to know what it is Enter data Test μ < $20,500 You will get a t-test value of -2.244 If you had calculated the t- critical value, you could compare, and see that the test value is less than the critical value, and thus reject the null hypothesis You get a p-value of.02 This is less than the alpha of.05 Thus, the probability of occurrence is in the rejection region, so we reject the null hypothesis Larson/Farber 5th ed. 80

81 Example: Testing μ with a Small Sample An industrial company claims that the mean pH level of the water in a nearby river is 6.8. You randomly select 19 water samples and measure the pH of each. The sample mean and standard deviation are 6.7 and 0.24, respectively. Is there enough evidence to reject the company’s claim at α = 0.05? Assume the population is normally distributed. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 81 of 101

82 Solution: Testing μ with a Small Sample H 0 : H a : α = df = Rejection Region: Test Statistic: Decision: μ = 6.8 (Claim) μ ≠ 6.8 0.05 19 – 1 = 18 At the 5% level of significance, there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that the mean pH is 6.8. t 0–2.101 0.025 2.101 0.025 –2.1012.101 –1.816 Fail to reject H 0. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

83 On the Calculator Stats  Test  Ttest You must test the ALTERNATE Hypothesis Which means you have to know what it is Enter data Test μ ≠ 6.8 You will get a t-test value of -1.816 Remember, this is a 2 tail test, so you also have a t-test value of 1.816 If you had calculated the T-critical value you could compare these You get a p-value of.09 This is not less than the alpha of.05 Thus, the probability of occurrence is in not in the rejection region, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis Larson/Farber 5th ed. 83

84 Example: Using P-values with t-Tests A Department of Motor Vehicles office claims that the mean wait time is less than 14 minutes. A random sample of 10 people has a mean wait time of 13 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. At α = 0.10, test the office’s claim. Assume the population is normally distributed. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 84 of 101
