_ z = X -  XX - Wow! We can use the z-distribution to test a hypothesis.

Step 1. State the statistical hypothesis H 0 to be tested (e.g., H 0 :  = 100) Step 2. Specify the degree of risk of a type-I error, that is, the risk of incorrectly concluding that H 0 is false when it is true. This risk, stated as a probability, is denoted by , the probability of a Type I error. Step 3. Assuming H 0 to be correct, find the probability of obtaining a sample mean that differs from  by an amount as large or larger than what was observed. Step 4. Make a decision regarding H 0, whether to reject or not to reject it.

Step 1. What would it look like if this is random? Step 2. Specify the degree of risk of a type-I error, that is, the risk of incorrectly concluding that H 0 is false when it is true. This risk, stated as a probability, is denoted by , the probability of a Type I error. Step 3. Assuming H 0 to be correct, find the probability of obtaining a sample mean that differs from  by an amount as large or larger than what was observed. Step 4. Make a decision regarding H 0, whether to reject or not to reject it.

Step 1. What would it look like if this is random? Step 2. If the reality is that it is indeed random, what risk can I live with to wrongly conclude that it’s not random? Step 3. Assuming H 0 to be correct, find the probability of obtaining a sample mean that differs from  by an amount as large or larger than what was observed. Step 4. Make a decision regarding H 0, whether to reject or not to reject it.

Step 1. What would it look like if this is random? Step 2. If the reality is that it is indeed random, what risk can I live with to wrongly conclude that it’s not random? Step 3. What’s the exact value beyond which I can conclude, under that condition of risk, that it’s not random? Step 4. Make a decision regarding H 0, whether to reject or not to reject it.

An Example You draw a sample of 25 adopted children. You are interested in whether they are different from the general population on an IQ test (  = 100,  = 15). The mean from your sample is 108. What is the null hypothesis?

GOSSET, William Sealy

The t-distribution is a family of distributions varying by degrees of freedom (d.f., where d.f.=n-1). At d.f. = , but at smaller than that, the tails are fatter.

The mean for the sample of 54.2 (sd = 2.4) was significantly different from a hypothesized population mean of 50, t(15) = 7.0, p <.001.

The mean for the sample of 54.2 (sd = 2.4) was significantly reliably different from a hypothesized population mean of 50, t(15) = 7.0, p <.001.
