Hypotheses Testing. Example 1. We have tossed a coin 50 times and we got k = 19 heads Should we accept/reject the hypothesis that p = 0.5 (the coin is fair). Null versus Alternative. Null hypothesis (H 0 ): p = 0.5

Example 1 We have tossed a coin 50 times and we got k = 19 heads Should we accept/reject the hypothesis that p = 0.5 (the coin is fair)
Null versus Alternative Null hypothesis (H0): p = 0.5 Alternative hypothesis (H1): p 0.5
EXPERIMENT p(k) 95% k
Experiment P[ k < 18 or k > 32 ] < 0.05 If k < 18 or k > 32 then an event happened with probability < 0.5 Improbable enough toREJECTthe hypothesis H0
Test construction 18 32 accept reject reject
0.975 Cpdf(k) 0.025 k
Conclusion No premise to reject the hypothesis
Example 2 We have tossed a coin 50 times and we got k = 10 heads Should we accept/reject the hypothesis that p = 0.5 (the coin is fair)
cpdf(k) k
Significance level P[ k 10 or k 40 ] 0.000025 We REJECT the hypothesis H0 at significance level p=0.000025
Remark In STATISTICS To prove something = REJECT the hypothesis that converse is true
Example 3 We know that on average mouse tail is 5 cm long. We have a group of 10 mice, and give to each of them a dose of vitamin X everyday, from the birth, for the period of 6 months.
We want to prove that vitamin X makes mouse tail longer We measure tail lengths of our group and we get sample = 5.5, 5.6, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 5.0, 5.2, 5.8, 4.1 Hypothesis H0 - sample = sample from normal distribution with = 5cm Alternative H1 - sample = sample from normal distribution with > 5cm
Construction of the test reject t t0.95 Cannot reject
We do not population variance, and/or we suspect that vitamin treatment may change the variance – so we use t distribution
2 test (K. Pearson, 1900) To test the hypothesis that a given data actually come from a population with the proposed distribution

How about Are these data sampled from population with exponential pdf ? • Estimate a • Use 2 test • Remember d.f. = K-2
