Chapter 7 • In this chapter, we deal with case I research. (cf. pp.126) Case I Case II
z score = the mean of the sample = the hypothesized mean = the standard deviation of the population
z score (reminder) e.g. For alpha levels .05 68% Normal distribution 95% z -3.0 -2.0 -1.0 0 +1.0 +2.0 +3.0
z statistics = the mean of the sample = the hypothesized mean = the standard error of the mean
The sampling distribution Due to sampling error?? Hypothesized μ True μ 100 104 105 Sample
The acceptance and rejection regions e.g. For alpha levels .05 (Critical region) 95% 2.5% 2.5% z -1.96 0 +1.96 Reject H0 Accept H0 Reject H0
t statistics (Formula 7.2 pp.154) The mean of the sample The hypothesized mean The sample standard deviation Sample size
Type I and Type II Errors True state of affairs H0 is true H0 is false Type II Error Correct Retain H0 Your Decision Type I Error Correct Reject H0
Degree of Freedom • e.g. You can 4 numbers whatever you like. note the mean oh them should be 10. a, b, c, 10-(a+b+c)
Standard Deviation Sample SD Population SD
Example • Each Okadaken member takes 20 minutes to eat lunch on average. According 2weeks of investigation, Ikeuchi takes 22 minutes to eat lunch on average. Standard deviation of him was 2 minutes. • Compared to other members, is Ikeuchi a slow eater or not? note: this is an imaginary story.
Solution • Identify the null and alternative hypotheses H0 : μ= 20 H1 : μ≠ 20 • Set alpha as .05
Solution • Compute tobt using formula
Solution • Find the critical value for and • The critical value is 2.262. • Compare the tobt of 3.16 to the critical value of 2.262. tobt is larger than the critical value, so H0 is rejected. • So Ikeuchi is ….
