Testing a Claim About a Mean:  Known Section 7-4 Testing a Claim About a Mean:  Known Created by Erin Hodgess, Houston, Texas

Assumptions for Testing Claims About Population Means 1) The sample is a simple random   sample. 2) The value of the population standard deviation  is known. 3) Either or both of these conditions is satisfied: The population is normally distributed or n > 30.

Test Statistic for Testing a Claim About a Mean (with  Known) x – µx z = 

P-Value Method Use the same method as described in Section 7-2 and in Figure 7-6. Use the standard normal distribution (Table A-2).

Example: Data Set 4 in Appendix B lists a sample of 106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20°F. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and that the population standard deviation  is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. Use the P-value method. H0:  = 98.6 H1:   98.6  = 0.05 x = 98.2  = 0.62 = z = x – µx  n 98.2 – 98.6 = –6.64 0.62 106 This is a two-tailed test and the test statistic is to the left of the center, so the P-value is twice the area to the left of z = –6.64. We refer to Table A-2 to find the area to the left of z = –6.64 is 0.0001, so the P-value is 2(0.0001) = 0.0002.

Example: Data Set 4 in Appendix B lists a sample of 106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20°F. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and that the population standard deviation  is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. Use the P-value method. z = –6.64 H0:  = 98.6 H1:   98.6  = 0.05 x = 98.2  = 0.62

Example: Data Set 4 in Appendix B lists a sample of 106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20°F. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and that the population standard deviation  is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. Use the P-value method. z = –6.64 H0:  = 98.6 H1:   98.6  = 0.05 x = 98.2  = 0.62 Because the P-value of 0.0002 is less than the significance level of  = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean body temperature of healthy adults differs from 98.6°F.

Example: Data Set 4 in Appendix B lists a sample of 106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20°F. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and that the population standard deviation  is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. Use the Traditional method. z = –6.64 H0:  = 98.6 H1:   98.6  = 0.05 x = 98.2  = 0.62 We now find the critical values to be z = –1.96 and z = 1.96. We would reject the null hypothesis, since the test statistic of z = –6.64 would fall in the critical region. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean body temperature of healthy adults differs from 98.6°F.

Example: Data Set 4 in Appendix B lists a sample of 106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20°F. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and that the population standard deviation  is known to be 0.62°F. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the common belief that the mean body temperature of healthy adults is equal to 98.6°F. Use the Confidence Interval method. For a two-tailed hypothesis test with a 0.05 significance level, we construct a 95% confidence interval. Use the methods of Section 6-2 to construct a 95% confidence interval: 98.08 <  < 98.32 H0:  = 98.6 H1:   98.6  = 0.05 x = 98.2  = 0.62 We are 95% confident that the limits of 98.08 and 98.32 contain the true value of , so it appears that 98.6 cannot be the true value of .

Underlying Rationale of Hypotheses Testing If, under a given observed assumption, the probability of getting the sample is exceptionally small, we conclude that the assumption is probably not correct. When testing a claim, we make an assumption (null hypothesis) that contains equality. We then compare the assumption and the sample results and we form one of the following conclusions:

Underlying Rationale of Hypotheses Testing If the sample results can easily occur when the assumption (null hypothesis) is true, we attribute the relatively small discrepancy between the assumption and the sample results to chance. If the sample results cannot easily occur when that assumption (null hypothesis) is true, we explain the relatively large discrepancy between the assumption and the sample by concluding that the assumption is not true.
