Making Decisions about a Population Mean with Confidence Lecture 44 Sections 10.1 – 10.2 Mon, Apr 12, 2004

Introduction In this chapter we will ask the same basic questions, except they will concern the mean. Find an estimate for the mean. Test the truth of a statement about the mean.

The Steps of Testing a Hypothesis 1. State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2. State the significance level. 3. Compute the value of the test statistic. 4. Compute the p-value. 5. State the conclusion.

The Hypotheses The null and altenative hypotheses will be statements concerning . Null hypothesis. H0:  = 0. Alternative hypothesis. H1:   0. H1:  < 0. H1:  > 0.

Level of Significance This is the same as before. If the value is not given, assume that it is 0.05.

The Test Statistic The choice of test statistic will depend on the sample size and what is known about the population. For the moment, we will assume that  is known for the population. Later we will consider the case where  is unknown.

The Sampling Distribution ofx If the population is normal, then the distribution ofx is also normal, with mean  and standard deviation /n. That is,x is N(, /n). Therefore, the test statistic Z = (x – )/(/n) is N(0, 1).

The Sampling Distribution ofx On the other hand, if the population is not normal, but the sample size is at least 30, then the distribution ofx is also approximately normal, with mean  and standard deviation /n. That is,x is approximately N(, /n). Therefore, the test statistic Z = (x – )/(/n) is approximately N(0, 1).

Example See Example 10.1, p. 569 – Too Much Carbon Monoxide? ( known).

Hypothesis Testing on the TI-83 Press STAT. Select TESTS. Select Z-Test. Press ENTER. A window appears requesting information. Select Data if you have the sample data entered into a list. Otherwise, select Stats.

Hypothesis Testing on the TI-83 Assuming you selected Stats, Enter 0, the hypothetical mean. Enter . (Remember,  is known.) Enterx. Enter n, the sample size. Select the type of alternative hypothesis. Select Calculate and press ENTER.

Hypothesis Testing on the TI-83 A window appears with the following information. The title “Z-Test.” The alternative hypothesis. The value of the test statistic Z. The p-value of the test. The sample mean. The sample size.

Example Re-do Example 10.1 on the TI-83. The TI-83 reports that z = –2.575. p-value = 0.005012.

Hypothesis Testing on the TI-83 Suppose we selected Stats instead of Data. Then somewhat different information is requested. Enter the hypothetical mean. Enter . Identify the list that contains the data.

Hypothesis Testing on the TI-83 Skip Freq (it should be 1). Select the alternative hypothesis. Select Calculate and press ENTER.

Example Re-do Example 10.1 by entering the data in the chart on page 570 into list L1. The TI-83 reports that z = –2.575. p-value = 0.005012. sample mean = 12.528. s = 4.740 ( 4.8).
