Two-sample Tests of Hypothesis Chapter 11 GOALS Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the difference between two independent population means. Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the difference between two population proportions. Conduct a test of a hypothesis about the mean difference between paired or dependent observations. Understand the difference between dependent and independent samples. Comparing two populations – Some Examples Is there a difference in the mean value of residential real estate sold by male agents and female agents in south Florida? Is there a difference in the mean number of defects produced on the day and the afternoon shifts at Kimble Products? Is there a difference in the mean number of days absent between young workers (under 21 years of age) and older workers (more than 60 years of age) in the fast-food industry? Comparing two populations – Some Examples (continued) 4. Is there is a difference in the proportion of Ohio State University graduates and University of Cincinnati graduates who pass the state Certified Public Accountant Examination on their first attempt? 5. Is there an increase in the production rate if music is piped into the production area? Variance of the Distribution of Differences in means Comparing Two Population Means of Independent Samples The samples are from independent populations. The standard deviations for both populations are known The formula for computing the value of z is: Note: The z-test above may also be used if the sample sizes are both at least 30 even when the population standard deviations are not known Comparing Two Population Means of Independent Samples – Example EXAMPLE continued Step 1: State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: μS ≤ μU H1: μS μU Step 2: State the level of significance. Test using .01 significance level. Step 3: Find the appropriate test statistic. Because both population standard deviations are given (or both samples are more than 30), we
