  1. STATISTICAL INFERENCEPART V HYPOTHESIS TESTING

  2. H0 is True H0 is False Type I error P(Type I error) =  Reject H0 Correct Decision Type II error P(Type II error) =  Do not reject H0 Correct Decision TESTS OF HYPOTHESIS 1- 1- Tests are based on the following principle: Fix , minimize . ()=Power function of the test for all . = P(Reject H0)=P((x1,x2,…,xn)C)

  3. POWER OF THE TEST AND P-VALUE • 1- = Power of the test = P(Reject H0|H0 is not true) • p-value = Observed significance level = Probability of obtaining a test statistics at least as extreme as the one that you observed by chance, OR, the smallest level of significance at which the null hypothesis can be rejected OR the maximum value of  that you are willing to tolerate.

  4. CALCULATION OF P-VALUE • Determine the value of the test statistics, • For One-Tailed Test: p-value= P(z > z0) if HA: >0 p-value= P(z < z0) if HA: <0 • For Two-Tailed Test p=p-value = 2.P(z>z0) p=p-value = 2.P(z<-z0) p-value z0 p-value z0 p/2 p/2 -z0 z0

  5. DECISION RULE BY USING P-VALUES • REJECT H0 IF p-value <  • DO NOT REJECT H0 IF p-value    p-value

  6. Example • Do the contents of bottles of catsup have a net weight below an advertised threshold of 16 ounces? • To test this 25 bottles of catsup were selected. They gave a net sample mean weight of . It is known that the standard deviation is . We want to test this at significance levels 1% and 5%.

  7. CALCULATIONS The z-score is: The p-value is the probability of getting a score worse than this (relative to the alternative hypothesis) i.e., Compare the p-value to the significance level. Since it is bigger than both 1% and 5%, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

  8. P-value for this one-tailed Test • The p-value for this test is 0.1056 • Thus, do not reject H0 at 1% and 5% significance level. We do not have enough evidence to say that the contents of bottles of catsup have a net weight of less than 16 ounces. 0.1056 0.10 0.05 -1.25

  9. Test of Hypothesis for the Population Mean ( unknown) • For samples of size n drawn from a Normal Population, the test statistic: has a Student t-distribution with n1 degrees of freedom

  10. EXAMPLE • 5 measurements of the tar content of a certain kind of cigarette yielded 14.5, 14.2, 14.4, 14.3 and 14.6 mg per cigarette. Show the difference between the mean of this sample and the average tar content claimed by the manufacturer, =14.0, is significant at =0.05.

  11. SOLUTION • H0:  = 14.0 HA:   14.0 Decision Rule: Reject Ho if t<-t/2 or t> t/2.

  12. CONCLUSION • Reject H0 at  = 0.05. Difference is significant. 0.025 0.025 0.95 5.66 -2.766 2.766 Reject H0 Reject H0

  13. P-value of This Test • p-value = 2.P(t > 5.66) = 2(0.0024)=0.0048 Since p-value = 0.0048 <  = 0.05, reject H0. Minitab Output T-Test of the Mean Test of mu = 14.0000 vs mu not = 14.0000 Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean T P-Value C1 5 14.4000 0.1581 0.0707 5.66 0.0048

  14. CONCLUSION USING THE CONFIDENCE INTERVALS MINITAB OUTPUT: Confidence Intervals Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean 95.0 % C.I. C1 5 14.4000 0.1581 0.0707 ( 14.2036, 14.5964) • Since 14 is not in the interval, reject H0.

  15. EXAMPLE Problem:At a certain production facility that assembles computer keyboards, the assembly time is known (from experience) to follow a normal distribution with mean (m) of 130 seconds and standard deviation (s) of 15 seconds. The production supervisor suspects that the average time to assemble the keyboards does not quite follow the specified value. To examine this problem, he measures the times for 100 assemblies and found that the sample mean assembly time ( ) is 126.8 seconds. Can the supervisor conclude at the 5% level of significance that the mean assembly time of 130 seconds is incorrect?

  16. We want to prove that the time required to do the assembly is different from what experience dictates: • The sample mean is • The standard deviation is • The standardized test statistic value is:

  18. Test Statistic: .90 .9 2  Z -z  0 z  Rejection Region

  19. CONCLUSION • Since –2.13<-1.96, it falls in the rejection region. • Hence, we reject the null hypothesis that the time required to do the assembly is 130 seconds. The evidence suggests that the task now takes either more or less than 130 seconds.

  20. DECISION RULE • Reject Ho if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96. In terms of , reject H0 if 06

  21. P-VALUE • In our example, the p-value is So, since 0.0332 < 0.05, we reject the null.

  22. Calculating the Probability of Type II Error Ho: m = 130 HA: m130 • Suppose we would like to compute the probability of not rejecting H0 given that the null hypothesis is false (for instance m=135 instead of 130), i.e. b=P(not rejecting Ho|Ho is false). Assuming m=135 this statement becomes:

  23. TESTING HYPOTHESIS ABOUT POPULATION PROPORTION, p • ASSUMPTIONS: • The experiment is binomial. • The sample size is large enough. x: The number of success The sample proportion is approximately for large n (np  5 and nq  5 ).

  24. /2 /2 1- - z/2 z/2 Reject H0 Do not reject H0 HYPOTHESIS TEST FOR p Two-sided Test Test Statistic Rejecting Area H0: p = p0 HA: p  p0 • Reject Ho if z < -z/2 or z > z/2. Reject H0

  25. HYPOTHESIS TEST FOR p One-sided TestsTest StatisticRejecting Area 1. H0: p= p0 HA: p > p0 • Reject Ho if z > z. 2. H0: p = p0 HA: p < p0 • Reject Ho if z < - z.  1- z Reject H0 Do not reject H0  1- -z Reject H0 Do not reject H0

  26. EXAMPLE • Mom’s Home Cokin’ claims that 70% of the customers are able to dine for less than $5. Mom wishes to test this claim at the 92% level of confidence. A random sample of 110 patrons revealed that 66 paid less than $5 for lunch. Ho: p = 0.70 HA: p  0.70

  27. ANSWER • x = 66, n = 110 and p = 0.70 •  = 0.08, z/2 = z0.04 = 1.75 • Test Statistic:

  28. CONCLUSION • DECISION RULE: Reject H0 if z < -1.75 or z > 1.75. • CONCLUSION: Reject H0 at  = 0.08. Mom’s claim is not true. /2 /2 -2.289 -1.75 1.75

  29. P-VALUE • p-value = 2. P(z < -2.289) =2(0.011) = 0.022 The smallest value of  to reject H0 is 0.022. Since p-value = 0.022 <  = 0.08, reject H0. 0.011 -2.289

  30. CONFIDENCE INTERVAL APPROACH • Find the 92% CI for p. 92% CI for p: 0.52  p  0.68 • Since is not in the above interval, reject H0. Mom has overestimated the percentage of customers that pay less than 5$ for a meal. What happens with wider confidence intervals? Exercise: Calculate the 95% and 99% CIs for p.

  31. SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION OF s2 • The statistic is chi-squared distributed with n-1 d.f. when the population random variable is normally distributed with variance 2.

  33. LCL = (n - 1) s2 2 /2 UCL = (n - 1) s2 2 1 - /2 Inference about the Population Variance (s2) • Test statistic which is chi-squared distributed with n - 1 degrees of freedom Confidence interval estimator:

  34. Testing the Population Variance (s2)EXAMPLE • Proctor and Gamble told its customers that the variance in the weights of its bottles of Pepto-Bismol is less than 1.2ounces squared. As a marketing representative for P&G, you select 25 bottles and find a variance of 1.7. At the 10% level of significance, is P&G maintaining its pledge of product consistency? H0: 2 = 1.2 HA: 2 < 1.2

  35. ANSWER • n=25, s2=1.7, =0.10, • Test Statistics: • Decision Rule: Reject H0 if • Conclusion:Because 2=34 > 15.6587, do not reject H0. • We don’t have enough evidence that suggests the variability in product weights less than 1.2 ounces squared.

  36. EXAMPLE • A random sample of 22 observations from a normal population possessed a variance equal to 37.3. Find 90% CI for 2. 90% CI for 2:
