  1. 10.29: Hypothesis Test for a Difference in Two Population Means (1 of 2)

    Step 1: Determine the hypotheses. The hypotheses for a difference in two population means are similar to those for a difference in two population proportions. The null hypothesis, H 0, is again a statement of "no effect" or "no difference.". H 0: μ 1 - μ 2 = 0, which is the same as H 0: μ 1 = μ 2. The alternative hypothesis, H a ...

  4. Two Sample t-test: Definition, Formula, and Example

    A two-sample t-test always uses the following null hypothesis: H 0: μ 1 = μ 2 (the two population means are equal) The alternative hypothesis can be either two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed: H 1 (two-tailed): μ 1 ≠ μ 2 (the two population means are not equal) H 1 (left-tailed): μ 1 < μ 2 (population 1 mean is less than population ...

    We are 99% confident that the difference between the two population mean times is between -2.012 and -0.167. Minitab: 2-Sample t-test - Pooled. ... The same process for the hypothesis test for one mean can be applied. The test for the mean difference may be referred to as the paired t-test or the test for paired means.

  6. 9.2: Comparing Two Independent Population Means (Hypothesis test)

    Distribution for the test: Use tdf t d f where df d f is calculated using the df d f formula for independent groups, two population means. Using a calculator, df d f is approximately 18.8462. Do not pool the variances. Calculate the p-value using a Student's t-distribution: p-value = 0.0054 p -value = 0.0054. Graph:

    This chapter deals with the following hypothesis tests: Independent groups (samples are independent) Test of two population means. Test of two population proportions. Matched or paired samples (samples are dependent) Test of the two population proportions by testing one population mean of differences. 10.2: Two Population Means with Unknown ...

    Standardized Test Statistic for Hypothesis Tests Concerning the Difference Between Two Population Means: Large, Independent Samples. Z = (x1¯ −x2¯) −D0 s21 n1 + s22 n2− −−−−−√ Z = (x 1 ¯ − x 2 ¯) − D 0 s 1 2 n 1 + s 2 2 n 2. The test statistic has the standard normal distribution.

  9. Hypothesis Test: Difference in Means

    The first step is to state the null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. Null hypothesis: μ 1 - μ 2 = 0. Alternative hypothesis: μ 1 - μ 2 ≠ 0. Note that these hypotheses constitute a two-tailed test. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the difference between sample means is too big or if it is too small.

One is the null hypothesis, notated as \(H_0 \), which is a statement of a particular parameter value. ... 7.2.2 - Hypothesis Testing; 7.3 - Comparing Two Population Means. 7.3.1 - Inference for Independent Means. 7.3.1.1 - Pooled ...

  13. 10.2: Comparing Two Independent Population Means

    The mean grades of the 40 students form the standard lecture class was 76 percent with a standard deviation of 9. Test at 5% to see if there is any significant difference in the population mean grades between standard lecture course and hybrid class. Answer. 10.2: Comparing Two Independent Population Means.

  14. Hypothesis Testing for Means & Proportions

    In the two independent samples application with a continuous outcome, the parameter of interest in the test of hypothesis is the difference in population means, μ 1-μ 2. The null hypothesis is always that there is no difference between groups with respect to means, i.e., The null hypothesis can also be written as follows: H 0: μ 1 = μ 2.

  16. Two Population Calculator with Steps

    Just like in hypothesis tests about a single population mean, there are lower-tail, upper-tail and two tailed tests. However, the null and alternative are slightly different. First of all, instead of having mu on the left side of the equality, we have $\mu_1 - \mu_2$.

  17. Testing for Two Population Means

    The degrees of freedom formula was developed by Aspin-Welch. The comparison of two population means is very common. A difference between the two samples depends on both the means and the standard deviations. Very different means can occur by chance if there is great variation among the individual samples. In order to account for the variation ...

Random Variable: X¯1 −X¯2 = X ¯ 1 − X ¯ 2 = difference in the mean number of months the competing floor waxes last. H0: μ1 ≤ μ2 H 0: μ 1 ≤ μ 2. Ha: μ1> μ2 H a: μ 1> μ 2.

  19. 7.3 Inference for Two-Sample Proportions

    Hypothesis Test for the Difference in Two Proportions. If two estimated proportions are different, it may be due to a difference in the populations, or it may be due to chance. A hypothesis test can help determine if a difference in the estimated proportions reflects a difference in the population proportions. Generally, the null hypothesis ...

  21. Hypothesis Test for a Population Mean (1 of 5)

    In "Hypothesis Test for a Population Mean," we learn to use a sample mean to test a hypothesis about a population mean. We did hypothesis tests in earlier modules. In Inference for One Proportion, each claim involved a single population proportion. In Inference for Two Proportions, the claim was a statement about a treatment effect or a ...

    The comparison of two population means is very common. A difference between the two samples depends on both the means and the standard deviations. Very different means can occur by chance if there is great variation among the individual samples. In order to account for the variation, we take the difference of the sample means, X¯1 −X¯2 X ...

  24. 10.26: Hypothesis Test for a Population Mean (5 of 5)

    The hypotheses are claims about the population mean, µ. The null hypothesis is a hypothesis that the mean equals a specific value, µ 0. The alternative hypothesis is the competing claim that µ is less than, greater than, or not equal to the . When is < or > , the test is a one-tailed test. When is ≠ , the test is a two-tailed test.
