4 The Sum of Two Distributions Suppose x and y are random variables, each with its own distribution. What is the distribution of their sum, x + y? For example, what if x is the result of the first roll of a die (1 through 6) and y is the result of the second roll (again, 1 through 6). What is the distribution of the sum, x + y? Robb T.

12 The Sum of Two Distributions In other words, it turns out that µ x+y = µ x + µ y σx+y 2 = σx 2 + σy 2 σ x+y = σx 2 + σy 2 Furthermore, if x and y are both normal, then x + y is also normal. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

13 The Sum of Two Distributions Consider the average age at which a male first marries (x 1 ) vs. the average age at which a female first marries (x 2 ). (µ 1 vs. µ 2.) Suppose that x 1 is N(26, 8) and that x 2 is N(24, 6). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

14 The Sum of Two Distributions Age when males first marry (X) is N(26, 8). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

15 The Sum of Two Distributions Age when females first marry (Y ) is N(24, 6). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

16 The Sum of Two Distributions Combined ages (X + Y ) is N(50, 10). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

17 The Sum of Two Distributions That was interesting, but we need to know about the difference between variables. For the difference x y, the situation is very similar to the sum. For any two random variables x and y µ x y = µ x µ y σx y 2 = σx 2 + σy 2 σ x y = σx 2 + σy 2 If x and y are both normal, then x y is also normal. Robb T.

20 The Distribution of x y Difference between ages (X Y ) is N(2, 10). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

22 The Distribution of x 1 x 2 Now let s consider two populations. Population 1 has mean µ 1 and standard deviation σ 1. Population 2 has mean µ 2 and standard deviation σ 2. We wish to compare µ 1 and µ 2. We do so by taking samples and comparing sample means x 1 and x 2. This means that we need to know the distribution of x 1 x 2. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

23 The Distribution of x 1 x 2 For large sample sizes, we know that ( ) σ 1 x 1 is N µ 1, n1 and x 2 is N ( ) σ 2 µ 2, n2 Therefore, x 1 x 2 has mean and standard deviation µ x 1 x 2 = µ 1 µ 2, σ1 2 σ x 1 x 2 = + σ2 2. n 1 n 2 Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

24 The Distribution of x 1 x 2 Also, x 1 x 2 is normal, so σ1 x 1 x 1 is N µ 2 1 µ 2, + σ2 2 n 1 n 2. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

25 The Distribution of x 1 x 2 Therefore (for large samples), the test statistic will be z = (x 1 x 1 ) (µ 1 µ 2 ). σ 2 1 n 1 + σ2 2 n 2 Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Independent Samples:Comparing Means Fri, Nov 4, / 38

26 The Distribution of x 1 x 2 Use z if σ 1 and σ 2 are known and the populations are normal. The populations are not normal, but the sample sizes are large. We will use t if σ 1 or σ 2 is unknown and the populations are normal. If both samples are large, we may use either z or t. Robb T.
