2 What is a ypothesis? ypothesis is a statemet about a populatio parameter developed for the purpose of testig. What is ypothesis Testig? ypothesis testig is a proedure, based o sample evidee ad probability theory, used to determie whether the hypothesis is a reasoable statemet ad should ot be rejeted, or is ureasoable ad should be rejeted. Why we odut the ypothesis Testig? Ad ow? We odut the hypothesis test to fid out is the differee betwee sample statisti (whih is used to estimate the populatio parameter) ad the value of populatio parameter (hypothesized value) is differee due to : - Samplig error (estimatio error) whih is our whe we draw a radom sample from populatio. - Or is it sigifiat differee? (Meas atually there is differee whih is has meaig i the study). By usig the sample iformatio (mea, size, ad variae) I simple word ypothesis Test is Statisti Test (Z test, t test, F test ad hi square) Example: If we eed to kow the value of IQ sore of studets i the KSU we draw radom sample from this populatio (KSU) ad ompute the mea of IQ from sample data whih is equal =, but there is A researher hypotheses that the IQ of the whole populatio is equal to 5 (μ = 5),here we eed to kow if the differee betwee the sample mea ad the hypothesized mea 5 is it Sigifiat differee Or it is differee due to samplig error (by hae)? To aswer this questio we a odut test statisti whih is alled ypothesis Test, ad we a ostrut Cofidee iterval whih is already kow.

3 Step (): State the Null ( ) ad alterate ( ) hypothesis Null hypothesis ( ): Is the hypothesis beig tested, here we write the hypothesized value whih is alled referee value (the value whih we assume that equal to populatio parameter) ad i ull hypothesis oly those operators are allowed ( =,, )beause i this hypothesis always we assume that there is o differee at all (beause we otie that the equal operator ). Alterate hypothesis ( ): A statemet that is aepted if the sample data provide suffiiet evidee that the ull hypothesis is false. (e.g. < ad > ) The alterative hypothesis whih is alled the researher hypothesis it otais the opposite mathematial operatio that are foud i meas always, we say that there is sigifiat differee (meas the populatio parameter will be <,>, ) ad i this hypothesis we write what the researher hypothesis about populatio parameter. Whe we rejet the Null ypothesis that meas we aept the alterative hypothesis ad Vie Versa (this will be our deisio at the ed of test) Importat Thigs to Remember about ad : subzero or ot. ad are mutually exlusive ad olletively exhaustive is always presumed to be true has the burde of proof A radom sample () is used to rejet If we olude 'do ot rejet ', this does ot eessarily mea that the ull hypothesis is true, it oly suggests that there is ot suffiiet evidee to rejet ; rejetig the ull hypothesis the, suggests that the alterative hypothesis may be true. Equality is always part of (e.g. =,, ). < ad > always part of 3

Case: Oe- tailed test (Right-tailed) For Example: : : Or : : Case: Oe- tailed test (left-tailed) For Example : : Or : : Case3: Two-tailed test For Example: : : Or : : Step (): Selet a level of sigifiae: Level of sigifiae (α) : The probability of rejetig the ull hypothesis whe it is true. e.g. We ofte take about testig at a % sigifiae level (probability. of rejetig true ) Relatioship betwee the alterative hypothesis ad the level of sigifiae (α): Case& : If the alterative hypothesis is oe- tailed test (Right or lefttailed); (α) appear i the oe side of the urve. 4

5 Right tailed Left tailed Case3: If the alterative hypothesis is two- tailed test (α) appear i the left & right sides of the urve, we divide (α) by (α/) Step3: Selet the Test Statisti (omputed value) The test Statisti: A value, determied from sample iformatio, used to determie whether to rejet the ull hypothesis. There are may differet statistial tests. The hoie of whih test to use depeds o several fators: - The type of data. The distributio of the data. - The type of study desig. Example of test statisti used to test hypothesis: Z,t, F Step (4): Seleted the Critial value Critial value: The dividig poit betwee the regio where ull ypothesis is rejeted ad the regio where it is ot rejeted. The ritial value is read from the statistial tables ad determied by: - α. - Type of test. - Sometimes by the degrees of freedom. Step (5): Formulate the Deisio Rule ad Make a Deisio Deisio rule: We will ompare the omputed value with ritial value (table value) ad make our deisio: Rejet whe observed test-statisti equals or exeeds Critial value. (By other mea; whe the test statisti falls i the rejetio regio). Otherwise, Fail to Rejet (Retai) 5

8 Case 3: Rejet if that is: Z or Z Z Z, t, t t v, t v, Kow populatio Stadard Deviatio Example () Jamestow Steel Compay maufatures ad assembles desks ad other offie equipmet at several plats i wester New York State. The weekly produtio of the Model A35 desk at the Fredoia Plat follows the ormal probability distributio with a mea of ad a stadard deviatio of 6. Reetly, beause of market expasio, ew produtio methods have bee itrodued ad ew employees hired. The vie presidet of maufaturig would like to ivestigate whether there has bee a hage i the weekly produtio of the Model A35 desk. Is the mea umber of desks produed at Fredoia Plats differet from at the. sigifiae level? IF the vie presidet takes sample of 5 weeks ad he fids the mea is 3.5, use the statistial hypothesis testig proedure to ivestigate whether the produtio rate has haged from per week. Solutio: Step ():State the ull hypothesis ad the alterate hypothesis. : = : This is Two-tailed test (Note: keyword i the problem has haged ) Step (): Selet the level of sigifiae. α =. as stated i the problem 8

9 Step (3): Selet the test statisti Use Z-distributio sieσis kow, X 3.5, 6, 5 X Z Step (4): Formulate the deisio rule (Critial value) Z Z. Z.5.5 = Z.5.58 Rejet if Z. 58or Z. 58 Step (5): Make a deisio ad iterpret the result. Rejet if Z Z or Z Z Z Beause.55 does ot fall i the rejetio regio, is ot rejeted at sigifiae level.. We olude that the populatio mea is ot differet from. So we would report to the vie presidet of maufaturig that the sample evidee does ot show that the produtio rate at the Fredoia Plat has haged from per week. The differee of 3.5 uits betwee the historial weekly produtio rate ad that last year a reasoably be attributed to samplig error. Example () Suppose you are buyer of large supplies of light bulbs. You wat to test at the 5% sigifiat level, the maufaturer s laim that his bulbs last more tha 8 hours, you test 36 bulbs ad fid that the sample mea is 86 hours, with stadard deviatios 7 hours.should you aept the laim? Solutio: Step : State the ull hypothesis ad the alterate hypothesis. : 8 : 8 9

10 This is oe-tailed test (right), (Note: keyword i the problem more tha ) Step : Selet the level of sigifiae. α =.5 as stated i the problem Step 3: Selet the test statisti. Use Z-distributio sie σ is kow 8, X 86, S 7, 36 X Z S Step 4: Formulate the deisio rule. Rejet if Z Z Z Z.5 =.5.5 =.45 Z.5.65 Step 5: Make a deisio ad iterpret the result. Rejet if Z. 65 Z Beause.37 does ot fall i the rejetio regio, is ot rejeted. We olude that the populatio mea is less tha or equal 8. The deisio that we do t rejet the ull hypothesis at sigifiat level.5, but we rejet the alterative hypothesis the maufaturer s laim that μ>8. The differee of 6 hours betwee sample ad produtio a reasoably be attributed to samplig error.

11 Example (3) The MFarlad Isurae Compay Claims Departmet reports the mea ost to proess a laim is $6. A idustry ompariso showed this amout to be larger tha most other isurae ompaies, so the ompay istituted ost-uttig measures. To evaluate the effet of the ost-uttig measures, the Supervisor of the Claims Departmet seleted a radom sample of 6 laims proessed last moth. The sample iformatio is reported below. 6, X 56.4, S.4 At the. sigifiae level is it reasoable a laim is ow less tha $6? Solutio: Step : State the ull hypothesis ad the alterate hypothesis. : $6 : $6 This is oe-tailed test (Left) (Note: keyword i the problem ow less tha ) Step : Selet the level of sigifiae. α =. as stated i the problem Step 3: Selet the test statisti. Use t-distributio sie σ is ukow 6, X 56.4, S.4, 6 X t.8 S Step 4: Formulate the deisio rule. Rejet if t t, t.485 t,.,5 Step 5: Make a deisio ad iterpret the result. Rejet if t. 485 t.8.485

12 Beause -.8 does ot fall i the rejetio regio, is ot rejeted at the. sigifiae level. We have ot demostrated that the ost-uttig measures redued the mea ost per laim to less tha $6. The differee of $3.58 ($ $6) betwee the sample mea ad the populatio mea ould be due to samplig error.

13 The p-value or observed of sigifiae level of a statistial test is the smallest value of for whih a be rejeted. It is the atual risk of ommittig a type I error, if is rejeted based o the observed value of the test statisti. The p-value measures the stregth of the evidee agaist. The probability of observig samples data by hae uder the Null hypothesis (i.e. ull hypothesis is true). I testig a hypothesis, we a also ompare the p-value to with the sigifiae level (). - If the p-value < sigifiae level(), is rejeted ( meas sigifiat result) - If the p-value sigifiae level (), is ot rejeted. (meas ot sigifiat result). Compute the P- value (Oly we used the Z distributio) Case : If the oe tailed test (Right) Z. p value P z 5 z Case : If the oe tailed test (left) Z. p value P z 5 z Case3: If the two tailed test Z z PZ z.5 z. z = - p value P 5 Or. p value P Z z 5 z Example (4) : Refer to example () : :, X 3.5, 6, 5,. z 3

The iumbet goveror is iterested i assessig his haes of returig to offie. A sample survey of, registered voters i the orther setio of the state revealed that 54 plaed to vote for the iumbet goveror. Usig the hypothesis-testig proedure, assess the goveror s haes of reeletio (the level of sigifiae is.5). Solutio: Step : State the ull hypothesis ad the alterate hypothesis. :.8 :.8 This is oe-tailed test (Left) (Note: keyword i the problem at least ) Step : Selet the level of sigifiae. α =.5 as stated i the problem Step 3: Selet the test statisti.

Rejet if Z. 65 Z Rejet The omputed value of (-3.37) is i the rejetio regio, so the ull hypothesis is rejeted at the.5 level. The differee of.5 peretage poits betwee the sample peret (77 peret) ad the hypothesized populatio peret (8) is statistially sigifiat. The evidee at this poit does ot support the laim that the iumbet goveror will retur to the goveror s masio for aother four years. 7
