  1. Hypothesis Testing Variance known?

  2. Sampling Distribution • Over-the-counter stock selling prices • calculate average price of all stocks listed [] • take a sample of 25 stocks and record price • calculate average price of the 25 stocks [x-bar] • take all possible samples of size 25 • would all x-bars be equal? • average all the possible x-bars …equals 

  3. Sampling Distribution 20 H0 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  4. Sampling Distribution It is unlikely that we would get a sample mean of this value ... 20 H0 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  5. Sampling Distribution It is unlikely that we would get a sample mean of this value ... ... if in fact this were the population mean 20 H0 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  6. Sampling Distribution It is unlikely that we would get a sample mean of this value ... ... therefore, we reject the hypothesis that = 50. ... if in fact this were the population mean 20 H0 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  7. Null Hypothesis • What is tested • Always has equality sign: , or  • Designated H0 • Example ………... H0:  3 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  8. Alternative Hypothesis • Opposite of null hypothesis • Always has inequality sign: ,, or • Designated H1 • Example • H1:  < 3 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  9. Decision • Reject null hypothesis • Retain, or, fail to reject, null hypothesis • Do not use the term “accept” Levine, Prentice-Hall

  10. p-value • Probability of obtaining a test statistic more extreme (or than actual sample value given H0 is true • Called observed level of significance • Smallest value of  H0 can be rejected • Used to make rejection decision • If p-value , reject H0 Levine, Prentice-Hall

  11. Level of Significance • Defines unlikely values of sample statistic if null hypothesis is true • Called rejection region of sampling distribution • Designated (alpha) • Typical values are .01, .05, .10 • Selected by researcher at start Levine, Prentice-Hall

  19. Risk of Errors in Making Decision • Type I error • Reject true null hypothesis • Has serious consequences • Probability of Type I error is alpha [ ] • Called level of significance • Type II error • Do not reject false null hypothesis • Probability of Type II error is beta [  ] Levine, Prentice-Hall
