Chapter 10
LO10-1: Recognize and perform a test for two means with known
σ1 and σ2.
What is a Two-Sample Test
A Two-sample test compares two sample estimates with each other.
A one-sample test compares a sample estimate against a non-sample benchmark.
Basis of Two-Sample Tests
The logic of two-sample tests is based on the fact that two samples drawn from the same population may yield different estimates of a parameter due to chance.
If the two sample statistics differ by more than the amount attributable to chance, then we conclude that the samples came from populations with different parameter values.

Summary for the Test Statistic
If the population variances 12 and 22 are known, then use the normal distribution.
If population variances are unknown and estimated using s12 and s22, then use the Students t distribution.

LO10-9: Construct a confidence interval for 1 − 2 or 1 - 2 (optional).

LO10-3
10.4 Comparing Two Means: Paired Samples
Chapter 10
LO10-3: Recognize paired data and be able to perform a paired t test.
Paired t Test
Paired data typically come from a before/after experiment.
In the paired t test, the difference between x1 and x2 is measured as d = x1 – x2
The mean and standard deviation for the differences d are given below.
The test statistic is just for a one-sample t-test. Apply one-sample t-test here.

9. 10.5 Comparing Two Proportions
LO10-5
10.5 Comparing Two Proportions
Chapter 10
LO10-5: Perform a test to compare two proportions using z.
Testing for Zero Difference: 1 = 2
To compare two population proportions, 1, 2, use the following hypotheses
Assuming normality with
n ≥ 10 and n(1- ) ≥ 10
for both samples..
LO10-6: Check whether normality may be assumed for two proportions.

11. 10.6 Confidence Interval for the Difference of Two Proportions 1 - 2
Chapter 10
If the confidence interval does not include 0, then we reject the null hypothesis.

12. 10.7 Comparing Two Variances
LO10-8
Chapter 10
LO10-8: Carry out a test of two variances using the F distribution.
Format of Hypotheses
To test whether two population means are equal, we may also need to test whether two population variances are equal.

13. 10.7 Comparing Two Variances
LO10-8
Chapter 10
The F Test
The test statistic is the ratio of the sample variances:
If the variances are equal, this ratio should be near unity: F = 1.

14. 10.7 Comparing Two Variances
LO10-8
Chapter 10
The F Test
If the test statistic is far below 1 or above 1, we would reject the hypothesis of equal population variances.
The numerator s12 has degrees of freedom df1 = n1 – 1 and the denominator s22 has degrees of freedom df2 = n2 – 1.
The F distribution is
skewed with the mean > 1.
and its mode < 1.

Assumptions of the F Test
The F test assumes that the populations being sampled are normal.
It is sensitive to non-normality of the sampled populations.
MINITAB reports both the F test and an alternative Levene’s test and p-values.
