2. Example Measure effectiveness of exercise program in lowering blood cholesterol levels. SRS of men from a population. Measure cholesterol before program starts. Go through exercise program for 12 weeks. Measure cholesterol after program ends. Do cholesterol levels decrease?

4. Example Two observations from each subject. Post value depends on pre value. Two observations are dependent.

5. Example Cannot use inference for ____________ Violates independent samples assumption.

6. A Visual of the Difference

8. Example - Data Still interested in difference of two values. Pre-program minus post-program. Subject12345678910 Pre210236220250209236240236222210 Post204210218200208234246240208220 Diff.

9. Inference for μ μ D = ____________________________ ____________________________ Sample mean difference is ___________ Sample standard deviation of differences is __________________ n = number of differences = ________

10. Hypothesis Test If exercise program has no effect, mean difference will be 0. H O : ________________ If exercise program is effective, mean difference will be positive. H A : ________________

16. Important Difference If two values come from two independent samples _____________________________________ dependent samples (values collected twice from same subject) _____________________________________ Second situation is called _______________________________

17. Example #1 The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right-handed students to turn a knob (with their right hands) that moved an indicator by screw action. Each student was tested on two different knobs, one turned clockwise and the other turned counterclockwise.

19. Example #2 We would like to determine if students taking an ACT prep course will score better than students not taking the course. A random sample of 25 students was chosen who took the course and a random sample of another 25 students was chosen who did not take the course. At the end of the prep course, both groups were given the ACT.

20. Example #2 (cont.) Ob #1 – ______________________________ Ob #2 – ______________________________ Source – _____________________________ Inference –

21. Example #3 We would like to determine if students can improve their ACT score by taking a prep course. A random sample of 25 students was chosen. They first took the ACT test. Then they spent 6 weeks taking the prep course. At the end of the 6 weeks, they took the ACT test again.

22. Example #3 (cont.) Ob #1 – _________________________ Ob #2 – _________________________ Source – ________________________ Inference –

23. Example #4 We would like to determine if students taking an ACT prep course will score better than students not taking the course. A random sample of 50 students was selected. All 50 students were first administered the ACT. Then the students were randomly split into two groups, one group took the prep course, and the other group did not. At the end of the prep course, both groups were again given the ACT.
