5 Hypothesis Testing (σ Unkwn) Example (Hypothesis Testing (σ Unkwn)) Test the hypotheses concerning the average AP Statistics score, assuming that the value of σ is t kwn. Assume that the population of test scores is rmal. Score Frequency Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

41 TI-83 - Hypothesis Testing When σ is Unkwn TI-83 The t Test Press STAT. Select TESTS. Select T-Test. A window appears requesting information. Choose Data or Stats. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

42 TI-83 - Hypothesis Testing When σ is Unkwn TI-83 The t Test (Stats Option) Enter µ 0. Enter x. Enter s. (Remember, σ is unkwn.) Enter n. Select the alternative hypothesis and press ENTER. Select Calculate and press ENTER. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

43 TI-83 - Hypothesis Testing When σ is Unkwn TI-83 The t Test A window appears with the following information. The title T-Test The alternative hypothesis. The value of the test statistic t. The p-value. The sample mean. The sample standard deviation. The sample size. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

44 Example Example (The t-test) A sample of 18 students reveals the following AP Statistics scores. Score Frequency Furthermore, the value of σ is t kwn. The distribution in the sample suggests that the population is rmal. Test the hypothesis that the mean of all AP Statistics scores is greater than 3. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

45 Example (The t-test) A random sample of 10 hamburgers produced by a fast-food restaurant showed the following fat content, in grams: Assume that the fat content of all hamburgers from this restaurant has a rmal distribution. Test the hypothesis at the 1% level of significance that the average fat content of this restaurant s hamburgers is less than 32 grams. Show all seven steps. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

46 Outline 1 Introduction 2 Hypothesis Testing (σ Unkwn) 3 The Decision Tree 4 The t-test on the TI-83 5 Testing for Normality 6 Assignment Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

47 Testing for Normality A researcher should t assume that the population is rmal unless he has some evidence. Given a small set of data, what would constitute evidence of rmality? Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

48 Testing for Normality Definition (QQ Plot) A QQ plot is a graphical display of an actual data set versus an ideal data set of the same size from a rmal population. Numbers of equal rank are paired. If the QQ plot is very close to a straight line, then it is plausible that the data are from a rmal population. We will have to leave it to our own judgment whether the data are close eugh to a straight line. If the QQ plot indicates that we have rmality, then it longer matters whether the sample size is small. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

49 Example Example (QQ plots) A smaller sample of AP Statistics scores: Draw a QQ plot to test for rmality. If rmality holds, then test the claim at the 5% level that the population average score is greater than 3. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

50 Example Example (QQ plots) A small sample of AP Statistics scores is taken from a different school: Draw a QQ plot to test for rmality. If rmality holds, then test the claim at the 5% level that the population average score is greater than 3. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38

(b) t = and p-value = (c) No. (d) The values between 4 and 4 are t far from a rmal distribution, but the values 10.1, 13.0, 19.4, and 42.7 distort the shape significantly. To use t, we need the assumption that the population is rmal, but that may t be the case. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) The t Test Mon, Oct 31, / 38
