1-Sample t-test Mon, Apr 5 th

T-test purpose wZ test requires that you know  from pop wUse a t-test when you don’t know the population standard deviation. wOne sample t-test: –Compare a sample mean to a population with a known mean but an unknown variance –Use Sy (sample std dev) to estimate  (pop std dev)

T formula wT obtained = (ybar -  y ) S y /sqrt N wProcedure: –Compute t obtained from sample data –Determine cutoff point (not a z, but now a critical t) based on  –Reject the null hypothesis if your observed t value falls in critical region (|t observed| > |t critical|)

T distribution wCan’t use unit normal table to find critical value – must use t table to find critical t –Based on degrees of freedom (df): # scores free to vary in t obtained –Start w/sample size N, but lose 1 df due to having to estimate pop std dev –Df = N-1 –Find t critical based on df and alpha level you choose

(cont.) wTo use the t table, decide what alpha level to use & whether you have a 1- or 2-tailed test  gives column wThen find your row using df. wFor  =.05, 2 tailed, df=40, t critical = –Means there is only a 5% chance of finding a t>=2.021 if null hyp is true, so we should reject Ho if t obtained > 2.021

Note on t-table wWhen > 30 df, critical values only given for 40, 60, 120 df, etc. wIf your df are in between these groups, use the closest df wIf your df are exactly in the middle, be more conservative  use the lower df wExample: You have 50 df, choose critical t value given for 40 df (not 60). –You’ll use a larger critical value, making a smaller critical region  harder to find signif

Another note wNote that only positive values given in t table, so… wIf 1-tailed test, –Use + t critical value for upper-tail test (1.813) –Use – t critical value for lower-tail test (you have to remember to switch the sign, ) wIf 2-tailed test, –Use + and – signs to get 2 t critical values, one for each tail (1.813 and –1.813)

Example wIs EMT response time under the new system (ybar =28 min) less than old system (  = 30 min)? Sy = 3.78 and N=10 –Ha: new < old (  < 30) –Ho: no difference (  = 30) –Use.05 signif., 1-tailed test (see Ha) –T obtained = (28-30) / (3.78 / sqrt10) = (28-30) / 1.20 =

(cont.) wCutoff score for.05, 1-tail, 9 df = –Remember, we’re interested in lower tail (less response time), so critical t is –1.833 wT obtained is not in critical region (not > | |), so fail to reject null wNo difference in response time now compared to old system

1-sample t test in SPSS wUse menus for: Analyze  Compare Means  One sample t Gives pop-up menu…need 2 things: –select variable to be tested/compared to population mean –Notice “test value” window at bottom. Enter the population/comparison mean here (use  given to you) –Hit OK, get output and find sample mean, observed t, df, “sig value” (AKA p value) –Won’t get t critical, but SPSS does the comparison for you…(if sig value < , reject null)
