Normal distribution • Normal distribution question • Z-test question
Confidence Intervals • 2800 students asked if they’re comfortable to report cheating by their fellow students. 1344 said Yes, 1456 said No. What is the confidence Interval for the proportion of student population who feel comfortable reporting cheating?
Sample size Sample size determination for the Mean • Suppose you want to estimate the population mean to break a wooden board to within ±20 kilos with 99% confidence . The standard deviation is 80 kilos. Find the sample size! • To find Z: 99% confidenceSTAT, DIST, NORM, INVN Area: 0.005, σ=1,µ=0 EXECUTE! • Implement sample size determination for the mean equation! • n = 106.15
Sample Size • Sample size determination for the Proportion • If there is no information available, plug in the following numbers to the equation: e=0.05, π=0.5 • Example: In a survey of 500 people, you find that 60% of Facebook users will use the “Like” button on facebook. Determine the sample size needed to estimate the proportion of facebook users who use the “Like” to within ±0.07 with a 94% confidence • To find Z: 99% confidenceSTAT, DIST, NORM, INVN Area: 0.03, σ=1,µ=0 EXECUTE! • N= 173.24
Types of Errors • Type I error • If you reject the null hypothesis H0 when it is true and should not be rejected • Probability of Type I error = • Type II error • If you do not reject the null hypothesis H0 when it is false and should be rejected • Probability of Type II error =
When do we conduct one and two-tail tests? • A two-tail test is conducted whenever the alternative hypothesis specifies that the mean is not equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis • H0: µ = µ0 • H1: µ ≠ µ0 • There are two types of one-tail tests: • A one-tail test that focuses on the right tail is conducted whenever the alternative hypothesis states that the mean is greater than the value stated in the null hypothesis • H0: µ = µ0 • H1: µ > µ0 • A one-tail test that focuses on the left tail is conducted whenever the alternative hypothesis states that the mean is less than the value stated in the null hypothesis • H0: µ = µ0 • H1: µ < µ0
1-Sample Z-test • Assume Normal distribution • Example: Boozehead Co. produces 40oz beers, and they’re suspected of cheating their consumers for their beer. They believe that they’re getting less than 40oz. A bunch of Boozehead beer drinkers approached head office who has found out that the bottling process that fills this type of bottle has a standard deviation of 1.5oz. For evident reasons, a sample of 48 beers were measured, and they found that the mean volume was 39.7oz. With a 95% confidence level, does this evidence support the assumption of Boozehead beer drinkers?
6 Step Method of Hypothesis Testing • State the null hypothesis H0 and alternative hypothesis H1 • Choose the level of significance, , and sample size, n • Determine the appropriate test statistic and sampling distribution • Determine the critical values that divide the rejection and non rejection regions • Collect the data and compute the value of the test statistic • Make the statistical decision and state the managerial conclusion. If the test statistic falls into the non-rejection region, you do not reject the null hypothesis. If the test statistic falls into the rejection region, reject the null hypothesis. ***** Put in sample question
5 Step Method of Hypothesis Testing Using P-Value • State the null hypothesis, H0, and the alternative hypothesis,H1 • Choose the level of significance, , and sample size, n • Determine the appropriate test statistic and sampling distribution • Collect the data, compute the value of the test statistic, and compute the p-value • Make the statistical decision and state the managerial conclusion If the p-value ≥ , you do not reject the null hypothesis H0 If the p-value < , reject the null hypothesis H0 Recall: if p-value is low, H0 must go ***** Put in sample question from textbook
One-Tail Tests • A company that manufactures Basketballs is concerned that the mean weight doesn’t exceed 20 ounces. Standard deviation is 0.04 ounces. A sample of 40 basketballs were selected and the sample mean is 20.12 ounces. With 99% confidence level, is there evidenec that the population mean weight of the basketballs is greater than 20 ounces?
Matched Pairs t-test • Can more men get into Night Clubs when they bring ladies in with them? To investigate this possibility, a random sample of 6 clubs are observed at the line-up to see how many men get into the club with ladies, and without ladies. • At 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence of that the men admitted to clubs between men coming in alone greater than men bringing in women to clubs? • Is p-value >0.01? • Step 1: Enter a list of the difference between the numbers. You can solve for two ways! P-value or T-test • Step 2: t_calc = t_6-1, 0.01= -3.3649, t_crit = -1.6682, We reject Ho! • Step 2: p-value >0.01? Yes! Do not reject Ho! • There is enough evidence to conclude that there aren’t more men coming in alone than men bringing in women to clubs
1-Sample t Test • Unknown standard deviation • Boozehead Co. produces beer bottles that hold 8oz of beer. Boozehead…. AGAIN gets complaints that their consumers get less than 8oz. They sample 22 bottles and finds the average amount of liquid held by bottles is 7.802 with a std dev of 0.302. Is there evidence that Boozehead Co. offers their consumers less than 8oz of beer?
2-sample t-test • Comparing the means of two independent populations • Jack and Jill decided to play Paper Toss, to see who can throw in more paper balls into the garbage can within a certain time. Jack and Jill did 10 trials and ended up with the following results. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the Paper Toss mean is lower for Jack than it is for Jill? • Ho: µ
1 sample z-test proportion • A new vending machine was put into the Ted Rogers Business Building to make sure that it wasn’t eating people’s money. The previous vending machine was successful to complete transactions 85% of the time. A sample of 200 vending machine transactions were observed, and found that 195 orders completed the transaction successfully. With the 0.02 level of significance, can you conclude that the new vending machine has increased the proportion of successful completed transactions? • Ho: π = 0.85 (the proportion of successfully completed orders is less or equal to 0.85) • H_1: π >0.85 ( the proportion of orders filled correctly is greater than 0.85)
2-sample Z-test • A company makes cigarettes out of two machines. There have been complains that the some cigarettes were shorter in length and getting ripped off for what they were paying. In the past, it has been determined by past studies that the standard deviation of the cigarette length is 1.5cm from Machine 1, and 1.9 from Machine 2. The manufacturer decided to take samples of the cigarettes from both machines to test to see weather the mean length of the cigarettes from machine 2 was significantly larger than the mean length in machine 1. The sample of 100 cigarettes from Machine 1 had a mean length of 6.94cm, and Machine 2 had a mean length of 6.92. At 10% level of significance what is the conclusion?
F-test for the difference between 2 variances • Finding Lower-Tail Critical Values • Numerator and denominator for F_U and F_L are switched around!
F-test for the difference between 2 variances • A engineering team has developed a new machine to assemble car engines, and they want to know if this new machine has reduced the time to assemble the car engine. They have taken samples of 60 engines from the new machines, and 50 engines from the old machine. The mean is 230 minutes, and the standard deviation is 4 minutes for the new machines. For the old machine, the mean is 226 minutes with a standard deviation of 6 minutes. They want to test to see if the assumption about equal variances seems reasonable at the 5% level.
One-way ANOVA • At the Italian restaurant, Westside Marios, a study was done to see if there is evidence whether there is a difference in mean time to serve food from the following 4 entrees. • At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean time to serve food from the 4 entrees?
Sample Midterm • The standard error of the mean • is never larger than the standard deviation of the population • measure the variability of the mean from sample to sample • decreases as sample size increases • all of the above • For air travelers, one of the biggest complaints is from the waiting time between when the airplane taxis away from the terminal until the time it takes off. This waiting time is known to have a skewed-right distribution with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Suppose 100 flights have been randomly sampled. Describe the sampling distribution of the mean waiting time between when the airplane taxis away from the terminal until the flight takes off for these 100 flights. • Distribution is skewed-right with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 8 minutes • Distribution is approximately normal with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 0.8 minutes • Distribution is skewed-right with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 0.8 minutes • Distribution is approximately normal with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 8 minutes • If the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.0229 for samples of size 400, then the population proportion must be either: • 0.4 or 0.6 • 0.5 or 0.5 • 0.3 or 0.7 • 0.2 or 0.8
When determining the sample size for a proportion for a given level of confidence and sampling error, the closer to 0.50 that π is estimated to be, the sample size required • is not affected • is larger • is smaller • can be smaller, larger or unaffected • A 99% confidence interval estimate can be interpreted to mean that • if all possible samples are taken and confidence interval estimates are developed 99% of them would include the true population mean somewhere within their interval • we have 99% confidence that we have selected a sample whose interval does include the population mean • both of the above • none of the above • If you were constructing a 99% confidence interval of the population mean based on a sample of n=25, where the standard deviation of the sample s = 0.05, what will the critical value of t be? • 2.7874 • 2.4851 • 2.7969 • 2.4922 • A confidence interval ws used to estimate the proportion of statistics students that are females.

Fill in the following table for the next 2 questions: A major home improvement store conducted its biggest brand recognition campaign in the company’s history. A series of new television advertisements featuring well-known entertainers and sports figures were launched. A key metric for the success of television advertisements is the proportion of viewers who, “like the ads a lot.” A study of 1,189 adults who viewed the ads reported that 230 indicated that they, “like the ads a lot.” The percentage of a typical television advertisement receiving the, “like the ads a lot,” score is believed to be 22%. Company officials wanted to know if there is evidence that the series of television advertisements are less successful than the typical ad at a 3% level of significance. Use the above information and the appropriate set of hypothesis testing to determine there is evidence that the series of television advertisements are less successful than the typical ad at 3% level of significance. State any necessary assumptions.
THINGS TO REMEMBER • Know when standard deviation is known or unknown to use the appropriate testing (Z or t?, sample standard deviation or not?) • Recognize the difference between matched t-test (independent or dependent) • Easy to evaluate p-value! If p-value is greater than its level of significance, we DO NOT REJECT H_o, if p-value is less than its level of significance, we REJECT Ho! • Draw out charts to see where your t, z, and f values are! • Write in assumptions for easy marks • Don’t confuse null hypothesis, and alternative hypothesis • Always follow the 5 steps! • Understsand calculator implementations and what they all mean!
