1. Sections 8-1 and 8-2
Independent and Dependent Samples
Independent samples have no relation to each other.
An example would be comparing the costs of vacationing in Florida to the cost of vacationing in Virginia.
Dependent samples are related to each other.
Each member of one sample corresponds to a member of the other sample.
Also called paired samples or matched samples.
Examples include studies on identical twins, or before and after studies done on the same members.

2. Sections 8-1 and 8-2
Independent and Dependent Samples
To test two hypotheses of two large (n ≥ 30) independent samples, you must first write the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0 usually states that there is no difference between the parameters of two populations.
The H0 ALWAYS contains an element of equality (≤, ≥, =)
The Ha is the complement of the H0.
If this still doesn’t come easily to you, refer back to the Chapter 7 notes on hypotheses.
The steps are the same as what we did in Chapter 7; we just use a different test to find the standardized test statistic.
STAT Test 3 will give us the z-score and the p value for the test.
Once you have the p-value, everything else is the same as what we did in Chapter 7.

3. Sections 8-1 and 8-2
To test two hypotheses of two small (n < 30) independent samples, you must use a t-test instead of a z-test.
There are two conditions under which you will be conducting two sample t-tests on small samples.
If the population variances are equal, we combine information from the two samples to calculate a pooled estimate of the standard deviation 𝝈 .
If the population variances are NOT equal, we use the same formula that we used for the z-test above.
We will learn how to tell whether they are equal or not in Chapter 10.
For now, this information will be given to you.

4. Sections 8-1 and 8-2
To use the calculator to conduct a two sample t-test, follow these steps.
STAT – TESTS – 4 (2-SampTTest)
Select Stats, and enter the information that is given to you for each sample.
Indicate whether the test is left tailed, right tailed, or two tailed.
The Pooled component is simply whether the variances are equal or not.
If the variances are equal, the estimate is pooled (Yes), otherwise it’s not (No).

6. Section 8-1
Example 1 (Page 438)
Classify each pair of samples as independent or dependent and justify your answer.
1) Sample 1: resting heart rates of 35 individuals before drinking coffee
Sample 2: resting heart rates of the same individuals after drinking two cups of coffee.
Samples are dependent, since they are related (same individuals).
2) Sample 1: test scores for 35 statistics students.
Sample 2: test scores for 42 biology students who do not study statistics.
Samples are independent; they have nothing to do with each other and the sample sizes are different.

7. Section 8-1
Example 2 (Page 442)
A consumer education organization claims that there is a difference in the mean credit card debt of males and females in the United States. The results of a random survey of 200 individuals from each group are shown below. The two samples are independent. Do the results support the organization’s claim? Use α = 0.05.
What are the hypotheses, and which one represents the claim?
𝐻 0 : 𝜇 1 = 𝜇 2 𝐻 𝑎 : 𝜇 1 ≠ 𝜇 2 (Claim)
Another way of saying this is to say that 𝐻 0 : 𝜇 1 − 𝜇 2 =0 and 𝐻 𝑎 : 𝜇 1 − 𝜇 2 ≠0 (Claim)
What kind of test are you running?
Two-tailed.

Example 1 (Page 454)
The braking distances of 8 Volkswagen GTIs and 10 Ford Focuses were tested when traveling at 60 mph on dry pavement. The results are shown below. Can you conclude that there is a difference in the mean braking distances of the two types of cars? Use α = Assume the populations are normally distributed and the population variances are not equal.
What are the hypotheses, and which one represents the claim?
The claim is that there is a difference between the stopping distances, or that they are NOT equal.

17. Since we rejected the null, we support the claim.

t = p = .0073
Compare p to α.
Since .007 ≤ .01, reject the null.
Since we rejected the null, we support the claim.
NOTE: This test is SO close that if you used the rejection region, like the book does, you would actually fail to reject the null by a margin of 3 one-thousandths.
2nd VARS 4 (.01/2) with 7 d.f. gives a rejection region to the left of or to the right of
Our t-score of is JUST inside of those numbers, so we would fail to reject the null.

At α = 0.05, can you support the manufacturer’s claim? Assume the populations are normally distributed and the population variances are equal.
