1 Uiversity of Califoria, Los Ageles Departmet of Statistics Statistics 100B Elemets of a hypothesis test: Hypothesis testig Istructor: Nicolas Christou 1. Null hypothesis, H 0 (claim about µ, p, σ 2, µ 1 µ 2, etc. It ca be,, =). 2. Alterative hypothesis, H a (>, <, ). 3. Test statistic. 4. Sigificace level α. Hypothesis testig for µ: H 0 : µ = µ 0 H a : µ > µ 0, µ < µ 0, µ µ 0 (use oly oe of these!) Whe σ is kow: Test statistic Z = X µ σ Whe σ is ukow: Test statistic t = X µ s If σ is kow: Reject H 0 if Z falls i the rejectio regio. The rejectio regio is based o the sigificace level α we choose. If σ is ukow: Reject H 0 if t falls i the rejectio regio. The rejectio regio is based o the sigificace level α we choose ad the degrees of freedom 1. The p value of a test. It is the probability of seeig the test statistic or a more extreme value (extreme is towards the directio of the alterative). If p value < α the H 0 is rejected. This is aother way of testig a hypothesis (it should always agree with testig usig Z or t). 1

2 Hypothesis Test Whe σ Is Kow: H 0 : µ = µ 0 Hypothesis Test For Populatio Mea µ Alterative Hypothesis H a Reject H 0 If µ < µ 0 Z < Z α µ > µ 0 Z > Z α µ µ 0 Z < Z α/2 or Z > Z α/2 Z = X µ 0 σ/ Hypothesis Test Whe σ Is Not Kow: H 0 : µ = µ 0 Alterative Hypothesis H a Reject H 0 If µ < µ 0 t < t α; 1 µ > µ 0 t > t α; 1 µ µ 0 t < t α/2; 1 or t > t α/2; 1 t = X µ 0 s/ Hypothesis Test For Proportio: H 0 : p = p 0 Alterative Hypothesis H a Reject H 0 If p < p 0 Z < Z α p > p 0 Z > Z α p p 0 Z < Z α/2 or Z > Z α/2 Z = ˆp p 0 p 0 (1 p 0 ) 2

3 Hypothesis testig - examples Example 1 A maufacturer of chocolates claims that the mea weight of a certai box of chocolates is 368 grams. The stadard deviatio of the box s weight is kow to be σ = 10 grams. If a sample of 49 boxes has sample mea x = 364 grams, test the hypothesis that the mea weight of the boxes is less tha 368 grams. Use α = 0.05 level of sigificace. Solutio: 1. H 0 : µ = 368 H a : µ < We compute the test statistic z: z = x µ σ = z = We fid the rejectio regio. Here we use sigificace level α = 0.05, therefore the rejectio regio is whe z < Coclusio: Sice z = 2.8 < we reject H 0. Compute the p value of the test: p value = P ( X < 364) = P (Z < 2.8) = Rule: If p value < α the H 0 is rejected. Agai, usig the p value we reject H 0. Example 2 A large retailer wats to determie whether the mea icome of families livig whithi 2 miles of a proposed buildig site exceeds $ What ca we coclude at the 0.05 level of sigificace if the sample mea icome of 60 families is x = $24524? Use σ = $763. Solutio: 1. H 0 : µ = H a : µ > We compute the test statistic z: z = x µ σ = z = We fid the rejectio regio. Here we use sigificace level α = 0.05, therefore the rejectio regio is whe z > Coclusio: Sice z = 1.26 does ot fall i the R.R. we do ot reject H 0. 3

4 Example 3 It is claimed that the mea mileage of a certai type of vehicle is 35 miles per gallo of gasolie with populatio stadard deviatio σ = 5 miles. What ca be cocluded usig α = 0.01 about the claim if a radom sample of 49 such vehicles has sample mea x = 36 miles? Solutio: 1. H 0 : µ = 35 H a : µ We compute the test statistic z: z = x µ σ = z = We fid the rejectio regio. Here we use sigificace level α = 0.01, but because of a two-sided test we have two rejectio regios. They are z < or z > Coclusio: Sice z = 1.4 does ot fall i ay of the two rejectio regios we do ot reject H 0. Whe we have a two-sided test the p value is computed as follows: p value = 2P ( X > 36) = 2P (Z > 1.4) = 2( ) = Agai, usig the p value H 0 is ot rejected. Example 4 A maufacturer claims that 20% of the public preferred her product. A sample of 100 persos is take to check her claim. It is foud that 8 of these 100 persos preferred her product. a. Fid the p-value of the test (use a two-tailed test). b. Usig the 0.05 level of sigificace test her claim. Solutio: We test the followig hypothesis: H 0 : p = 0.20 H a : p 0.20 We compute the test statistic z: Z = ˆp p 0 p 0(1 p 0) = Therefore the p value is: (1 0.20) 100 = 3.0. p value = 2P (ˆp < 0.08) = 2P (Z < 3.0) = 2(0.0013) = We reject H 0 because p value= <

5 Hypothesis testig - t distributio Example 1 A tire maufacturer hopes that their ewly desiged tires will allow a car travelig at 60 mph to come to a complete stop withi a average of 125 feet after the brakes are applied. They will adopt the ew tires uless there is strog evidece that the tires do ot meet this objective. The distaces (i feet) for 9 stops o a test track were 129, 128, 130, 132, 135, 123, 125, 128, ad 130. These data have x = , s = Test a appropriate hypothesis to coclude whether the compay should adopt the ew tires. Use α = Solutio: 1. H 0 : µ = 125 H a : µ > We compute the test statistic t: t = x µ s = t = We fid the rejectio regio. Here we use sigificace level α = 0.05 with 1 = 9 1 = 8 degrees of freedom. Therefore the rejectio regio is whe t > Coclusio: Sice t = 3.29 falls i ay the rejectio regio we reject H 0. The p value is: p value= P ( X > ) = P (t > 3.29). From the t table we ca say that the < p value < 0.01 Agai, usig the p value H 0 is rejected. Example 2 (from Mathematical Statistics ad Data Aalysis), by J. Rice, 2d Editio. I a study doe at the Natioal Istitute of Sciece ad Techology (Steel et al. 1980), asbestos fibers o filters were couted as part of a project to develop measuremet stadards for asbestos cocetratio. Asbestos dissolved i water was spread o a filter, ad puches of 3-mm diameter were take from the filter ad mouted o a trasmissio electro microscope. A operator couted the umber of fibers i each of 23 grid squares, yieldig the followig couts: Assume ormal distributio. These data have x = 24.91, s = Usig α = 0.05 test the followig hypothesis: H 0 : µ = 18 H a : µ 18 Solutio: We compute the test statistic t: t = x µ s = t = We fid the rejectio regio. Here we use sigificace level α = 0.05 with 1 = 23 1 = 22 degrees of freedom. Therefore the rejectio regio is whe t < or t > Coclusio: Sice t = 6.05 falls i oe of the rejectio regios we reject H 0. Compute the p value of the test: This is a two-sided test therefore the p value is p value= 2P ( X > 24.91) = 2P (t > 6.05). From the t table we ca oly say that p value is less that

6 More examples - Hypothesis testig Example 1 A experimeter has prepared a drug dosage level that he claims will iduce sleep for at least 80% of those people sufferig from isomia. After examiig the dosage, we feel that his claims regardig the efectiveess of the dosage are iflated. I a attempt to disprove his claim, we admiister his prescribed dosage to 20 isomiacs, ad we observe X, the umber havig sleep iduced by the drug dose. We wish to test the hypothesis H 0 : p = 0.8 agaist the alterative H a : p < 0.8. Assume the rejectio regio X 12 is used. a. Fid the type I error α. b. Fid the type II error β if the true p = 0.6. c. Fid the type II error β if the true p = 0.4. Example 2 For a certai cadidate s political poll = 15 voters are sampled. Assume that this sample is take from a ifiite populatio of voters. We wish to test H 0 : p = 0.5 agaist the alterative H a : p < 0.5. The test statistic is X, which is the umber of voters amog the 15 sampled favorig this cadidate. a. Calculate the probability of a type I error α if we select the rejectio regio to be RR = {x 2}. b. Is our test good i protectig us from cocludig that this cadidate is a wier if, i fact, he will lose? Suppose that he really will wi 30% of the vote (p = 0.30). What is the probability of a type II error β that the sample will erroeously lead us to coclude that H 0 is true? 6

7 Compariso betwee cofidece itervals ad a two-tailed hypothesis test Two dice are rolled ad the sum X of the two umbers that occured is recorded. The probability distributio of X is as follows: X P (X) 1/36 2/36 3/36 4/36 5/36 6/36 5/36 4/36 3/36 2/36 1/36 This distributio has mea µ = 7 ad stadard deviatio σ = We take 100 samples of size = 50 each from this distributio ad compute for each sample the sample mea x. Preted ow that we oly kow that σ = 2.42, ad that µ is ukow. We are goig to use these 100 sample meas to costruct % cofidece itervals for the true populatio mea µ, ad to test usig level of sigificace α = times the hypothesis: H 0 : µ = 7 H a : µ 7 The results are as follows: Sample x 95% C.I. for µ Is µ = 7 icluded? z = x µ 0 σ/ Reject H 0? µ 7.57 YES NO µ 6.97 NO YES µ 7.25 YES NO µ 7.21 YES NO µ 7.37 YES NO µ 7.25 YES NO µ 7.87 YES 0.58 NO µ 8.29 YES 1.81 NO µ 7.61 YES NO µ 8.03 YES 1.05 NO µ 7.73 YES 0.18 NO µ 7.75 YES 0.23 NO µ 8.09 YES 1.23 NO µ 8.09 YES 1.23 NO µ 7.47 YES NO µ 7.61 YES NO µ 7.87 YES 0.58 NO µ 7.37 YES NO µ 7.77 YES 0.29 NO µ 7.71 YES 0.12 NO µ 7.65 YES NO µ 7.85 YES 0.53 NO µ 7.47 YES NO µ 7.61 YES NO µ 8.77 NO 3.21 YES µ 7.67 YES 0.00 NO µ 7.73 YES 0.18 NO µ 7.49 YES NO µ 7.63 YES NO µ 8.13 YES 1.34 NO µ 7.71 YES 0.12 NO µ 7.73 YES 0.18 NO µ 7.73 YES 0.18 NO µ 7.47 YES NO µ 7.79 YES 0.35 NO µ 7.85 YES 0.53 NO µ 7.75 YES 0.23 NO µ 7.91 YES 0.70 NO µ 7.49 YES NO µ 7.93 YES 0.76 NO µ 8.01 YES 0.99 NO µ 7.29 YES NO µ 7.77 YES 0.29 NO µ 7.65 YES NO µ 7.65 YES NO µ 7.73 YES 0.18 NO µ 7.81 YES 0.41 NO µ 8.17 YES 1.46 NO µ 7.75 YES 0.23 NO µ 7.99 YES 0.94 NO 7

10 Type II error (β) ad the power of the test (1 β) Example: A maufacturer of tires claims that the mea lifetime of these tires is miles. A radom sample of 100 tires will be selected, ad assume that the populatio stadard deviatio is 3500 miles. Calculate the probability of a Type II error (β) ad the power of the test (1 β) if the true populatio mea is miles usig: a. α = 0.05 b. α = 0.01 Solutio: a. α = We are testig the hypothesis H 0 : µ = H a : µ < We fid first the values of X for which H0 is rejected. H 0 is rejected whe Z < Or x µ σ < X < Therefore X < X < If the sample of size = 100 gives a value of X less tha the H0 s rejected. How do we compute the Type II error β? β = P (falsely acceptig H 0 ) = P ( X > , whe µ = 23500) ( ) = P Z > = P (Z > 2.64) = β = Therefore, the power of the test is 1 β = b. α = 0.01 We reject H 0 if Z < or x µ s < or X < β = P (falsely acceptig H 0 ) = P ( X > , whe µ = 23500) ( ) = P Z > = P (Z > 1.96) = β = Therefore, the power of the test is 1 β =

11 Sample size determiatio Type I ad Type II errors are give A maufacturer of tires claims that the mea lifetime of these tires is at least miles whe the productio process is workig properly. Based upo past experiece, the stadard deviatio of the lifetime of the tires is 3500 miles. The productio maager will stop the productio if there is evidece that the mea lifetime of the tires is below miles. a. If the productio maager wishes to have 80% power of detectig a shift i the lifetime mea of the tires from to miles ad if he is willig to take a 5% risk of committig a Type I error, what sample size must be selected? b. If the productio maager wishes to have 80% power of detectig a shift i the lifetime mea of the tires from to miles ad if he is willig to take a 5% risk of committig a Type I error, what sample size must be selected? 11

12 Power of a test whe H a : µ < µ 0 Suppose that we wat to determie whether or ot a cereal box packagig process is i cotrol. The process is i cotrol if the mea weight of a box is at least 368 grams. Therefore we would be iterested i testig whether the mea weight is less tha 368 grams. The two hypotheses are formulated as below: H 0 : µ 368 H a : µ < 368 Let s assume that that the stadard deviatio of the fillig process is kow to be σ = 15 grams ad that the weight of the box follows the ormal distributio. To test this hypothesis a sample of = 25 boxes of cereal is to be selected. Our goal here is to fid the power of the test for differet true values of µ whe we are willig to take a risk of Type I error α = I other words we wat to compute the power of the test whe there is a shift from µ = 368 grams to µ a, whe µ a < 368. The table below gives the power of the test for differet values of µ a. µ a Power (1 β) This is how the power was computed for this example: 1 β =P(reject H 0 whe H 0 is ot true). I our example we will reject H 0 (coclude that µ < µ 0 where µ 0 is the value of µ uder the ull hypothesis) if z < z α x µ0 σ < z α x < µ 0 z α σ. For these values of x we reject H 0. Now the power is the probability of fidig a value of x i the above rage whe the true mea is µ a. σ This is 1 β = P ( x < µ 0 z α µ = µ a ) = P (z < µ 0 z α σ µ a σ ). 12

13 Power of a test whe H a : µ > µ 0 Suppose that we wat to determie whether or ot a cereal box packagig process is i cotrol. The process is i cotrol if the mea weight of a box is at most 368 grams. Therefore we would be iterested i testig whether the mea weight is more tha 368 grams. The two hypotheses are formulated as below: H 0 : µ 368 H a : µ > 368 Let s assume that that the stadard deviatio of the fillig process is kow to be σ = 15 grams ad that the weight of the box follows the ormal distributio. To test this hypothesis a sample of = 25 boxes of cereal is to be selected. Our goal here is to fid the power of the test for differet true values of µ whe we are willig to take a risk of Type I error α = I other words we wat to compute the power of the test whe there is a shift from µ = 368 grams to µ a, whe µ a > 368. The table below gives the power of the test for differet values of µ a. µ a Power (1 β) The power of the test (1 β) here is computed as follows: 1 β =P(reject H 0 whe H 0 is ot true). I our example we will reject H 0 (coclude that µ > µ 0 where µ 0 is the value of µ uder the ull hypothesis) if z > z α x µ0 σ < z α x > µ 0 + z α σ. For these values of x we reject H 0. Now the power is the probability of fidig a value of x i the above rage whe the true mea is µ a. σ This is 1 β = P ( x > µ 0 + z α µ = µ a ) = P (z > µ 0+z α σ µ a σ ). 13

14 Power curves: The graph of the power agaist µ a for the two examples above is show below. H 0 : µ 368 H a : µ < 368 Power for H 0 : µ 368 vs. H a : µ < 368 Power (1 β) µ a H 0 : µ 368 H a : µ > 368 Power for H 0 : µ 368 vs. H a : µ > 368 Power (1 β) µ a 14

15 If we combie the two cases above we will get the graph of the power for a two-sided test. H 0 : µ = 368 H a : µ 368 Power for H 0 : µ = 368 vs. H a : µ 368 Power (1 β) µ a 15

16 Other hypothesis tests Test for the differece betwee two populatio meas: H 0 : µ 1 µ 2 = δ (δ could be 0, ad the test is whether µ 1 = µ 2 ). H a : µ 1 µ 2 > δ, or µ 1 µ 2 < δ, or µ 1 µ 2 δ I order to test this hypothesis we select two samples from the two populatios. Let the two samples be X 1, X 2,, X, ad Y 1, Y 2,, Y. The test statistic is based o the differece of the two sample meas, X Ȳ, ad it depeds o whether σ 2 1, σ 2 2 are kow, whether σ 2 1 = σ 2 2, whether the sample sizes are small or large. Below we summarize all these differet cases. a. The two variaces, σ 2 1, σ 2 2 are kow, ad the two populatios are ormal. The regardless of the size of the two samples (could be small or large), the test statistics is: Z = X Ȳ (µ 1 µ 2 ) σ σ2 2 2 If Z falls i the rejectio regio (based o the sigificace level α) the H 0 is rejected. b. The two variaces are ukow ad 1 30, 2 30, (large samples). We will estimate the two ukow variaces with the sample variaces, s 2 1, s 2 2. Because the two samples are large we ca still use the Z test as a approximatio. Z X Ȳ (µ 1 µ 2 ) s s2 2 2 If Z falls i the rejectio regio (based o the sigificace level α) the H 0 is rejected. c. The two variaces are ukow but equal (σ 2 1 = σ 2 2) ad 1 30, or 2 30, (oe or both of the samples are small). We will estimate the ukow but commo variace with the so called pooled variace s 2 pooled, ad the test statistic will be t with degrees of freedom. where t = X Ȳ (µ 1 µ 2 ) ( s 2 1 pooled + ) s 2 pooled = ( 1 1)s ( 2 1)s If t falls i the rejectio regio (based o the sigificace level α ad df = ) the H 0 is rejected. 16

17 Test for the differece betwee two populatio proportios: H 0 : p 1 p 2 = 0 (we test whether the two populatio proportios are equal). H a : p 1 p 2 > 0, or p 1 p 2 < 0, or p 1 p 2 0 We select two samples of size 1, 2 ad the umber of successes X 1, X 2 are couted i each sample. The test statistic will be based o the the differece betwee the two sample proportio, ˆp 1 ˆp 2, where ˆp 1 = X 1 1 ad ˆp 2 = X 2 2. The test statistics is: where, Z = ˆp 1 ˆp 2 (p 1 p 2 ) ˆp(1 ˆp) ( ) ˆp = X 1 + X Uder H 0 the two populatio proportios are equal ad therefore the variace of ˆp 1 ˆp 2 is: ( X1 var (ˆp 1 ˆp 2 ) = var X ) 2 = var 1 2 ( ) X1 1 + var Because p 1 = p 2 = p (uder H 0 ), the variace of ˆp 1 ˆp 2 is: ( ) X2 2 = p 1(1 p 1 ) 1 + p 2(1 p 2 ) 2 ( 1 var (ˆp 1 ˆp 2 ) = p(1 p) + 1 ), p is ukow ad it is estimated by ˆp. 1 2 If Z falls i the rejectio regio (based o the sigificace level α) the H 0 is rejected. Example: Suppose the icotie cotet of two kids of cigarettes have stadard deviatios σ 1 = 1.2 ad σ 2 = 1.4 milligrams. Fifty cigarettes of the first kid had a sample mea cotet x 1 = 26.1 milligrams, while 40 cigarettes of the secod kid had a sample mea cotet of x 2 = 23.8 milligrams. Use α = 0.05 to test the followig hypothesis: H 0 : µ 1 µ 2 = 2 H a : µ 1 µ
