Chapter 11 Two-sample Tests of Hypothesis GOALS 1.Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the d ifference between two independent populat ion means. 2.Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the d ifference between two populat ion proport ions. 3.Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the mean d ifference between paired or dependent observat ions. GOALS 4.Understand the d ifference between dependent and independent samp les. Comparing two populat ions – Some Examples 1.Is there a d ifference in the mean value of resident ial real estate so ld by male agents and female agents in south Florida? 2.Is there a d ifference in the mean number of defects produced on the day and the afternoon shifts at Kimble Products? Comparing two populat ions – Some Examples 3.Is there a d ifference in the mean number of days absent between young workers (under 21 years of age) and o lder workers (more than 60 years of age) in the fast-food industry? 4.Is there is a d ifference in the proport ion of Ohio State University graduates and University of C inc innat i graduates who pass the state Cert ified Public Accountant Exam inat ion on their first attempt? Comparing two populat ions – Some Examples (cont inued) 5.Is there an increase in the product ion rate if music is piped into the product ion area? Comparing Two Populat ion Means of Independent Samples • The samples are from independent populat ions. • The standard dev iat ions for both populat ions are known • The formula for comput ing the value of z is: X X 1 2 z 2 2   1 2  n n 1 2 Comparing Two Populat ion Means of Independent Samples Note: The z-test above may also be used if t
