Procedures of gettig cofidece iterval ad of testig for two oulatio case is very similar as those of oe oulatio case Cofidece iterval: Poit estimator ± Sigificace coefficiet * Stadard Error Test Statistics Poit estimator - Hyothesized value of arameter Stadard error Poit estimators ad stadard errors of two oulatio case are differet from those of oe oulatio case. Slide 4

3 Estimatig the Differece Betwee Two Poulatio Meas Let µ equal the mea of oulatio ad µ equal the mea of oulatio. The differece betwee the two oulatio meas is µ - µ. Let x equal the mea of samle ad x equal the mea of samle. The oit estimator of the differece betwee the meas of the oulatios ad is x x. x Slide 5 Samlig Distributio of x x : σ kow Exected Value E ( x x ) = µ µ Stadard Deviatio (Stadard Error) σ σ σ x = x where: σ = stadard deviatio of oulatio σ = stadard deviatio of oulatio = samle size from oulatio = samle size from oulatio Slide 6 3
