11.1Hypothesis Testing Dependent Groups
Before/after or matching link • Many statistical tests involve paired data samples that help us draw conclusions abt the difference of 2 groups • This freqly happens in before/after sits in which the same item is measured prior to and after a treatment • Ex= guided exercize 1 pg 453
Sometimes there is a matching link, a natural match for collecting the pairs even without a before/after feel • Feet Data
So What? • Advantages= • Using matched data can often reduce the danger of extra factors except for the 1 characteristic we want to measure (blocking) • Pairing data reduces variance, thus increasing the accuracy of our results. • See diamond middle of pg 453
d bar is the mean difference betw the paired/matched data…it’s a sample mean…an x bar • S sub d is the sample standard deviation • The remainder of this hypothesis test is already familiar to you, if you like t distributions
