Section 8.1 Objectives • How to determine whether two samples are independent or dependent • An introduction to two-sample hypothesis testing for the difference between two population parameters • Perform a two-sample z-test for the difference between two means μ1 and μ2 using independent samples with 1 and 2known .

  5. Two Sample Hypothesis Test • Compares two parameters from two populations. • Sampling methods: • Independent Samples • The sample selected from one population is not related to the sample selected from the second population. • Dependent Samples (paired or matched samples) • Each member of one sample corresponds to a member of the other sample. .

  6. Independent and Dependent Samples Independent Samples Dependent Samples Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 1 Sample 2 .

  7. Example: Independent and Dependent Samples Classify the pair of samples as independent or dependent. • Sample 1: Weights of 65 college students before their freshman year begins. • Sample 2: Weights of the same 65 college students after their freshmen year. Solution:Dependent Samples (The samples can be paired with respect to each student) .

  8. Example: Independent and Dependent Samples Classify the pair of samples as independent or dependent. • Sample 1: Scores for 38 adults males on a psycho- logical screening test for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. • Sample 2: Scores for 50 adult females on a psycho- logical screening test for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Solution:Independent Samples (Not possible to form a pairing between the members of the samples; the sample sizes are different, and the data represent scores for different individuals.) .

  9. Two Sample Hypothesis Test with Independent Samples • Null hypothesis H0 • A statistical hypothesis that usually states there is no difference between the parameters of two populations. • Always contains the symbol , =, or . • Alternative hypothesis Ha • A statistical hypothesis that is true when H0 is false. • Always contains the symbol >, , or <. .

  10. Two Sample Hypothesis Test with Independent Samples H0: μ1 = μ2 Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2 H0: μ1 ≤ μ2 Ha: μ1 > μ2 H0: μ1 ≥ μ2 Ha: μ1 < μ2 Regardless of which hypotheses you use, you always assume there is no difference between the population means, orμ1 = μ2. .

  11. Two Sample z-Test for the Difference Between Means Three conditions are necessary to perform a z-test for the difference between two population means μ1 and μ2. • The population standard deviations are known. • The samples are randomly selected. • The samples are independent. • The populations are normally distributed or each sample size is at least 30. .

If z is in the rejection region, reject H0.Otherwise, fail to reject H0. .

Example: Two-Sample z-Test for the Difference Between Means A credit card watchdog group claims that there is a difference in the mean credit card debts of households in California and Illinois. The results of a random survey of 250 households from each state are shown at the left. The two samples are independent. Assume that σ1 = $1045 for California and σ2 = $1350 for Illinois.

Example: Using Technology to Perform a Two-Sample z-Test A travel agency claims that the average daily cost of meals and lodging for vacationing in Texas is less than the average daily cost in Virginia. The table at the left shows the results of a random survey of vacationers in each state. The two samples are independent. Assume that σ1 = $19 for Texas and σ2 = $24 for Virginia, and that both populations are normally distributed. Atα = 0.01, is there enough evidence to support the claim?
