  1. Chapter 9: Inferences for Two –Samples Yunming Mu Department of Statistics Texas A&M University

  2. Outline 1 Overview 2 Inferences about Two Means: Independent      and Small Samples 3 Inferences about Two Means: Independent and Large Samples 4 Inferences about Two Proportions 5 Inferences about Two Means: Matched Pairs

  3. Overview There are many important and meaningful situations in which it becomes necessary to compare two sets of sample data.

  4. Definitions Two Samples: Independent The sample values selected from one population are not related or somehow paired with the sample values selected from the other population. If the values in one sample are related to the values in the other sample, the samples are dependent. Such samples are often referred to as matched pairs or paired samples.

  5. Example Do male and female college students differ with respect to their fastest reported driving speed? Population of all male college students Population of all female college students Sample of n1 = 17 males report average of 102.1 mph Sample of n2 = 21 females report average of 85.7 mph

  6. Graphical summary of sample data

  7. Numerical summary ofsample data Gender N Mean Median TrMean StDev female 21 85.71 85.00 85.26 9.39 male 17 102.06 100.00 101.00 17.05 Gender SE Mean Minimum Maximum Q1 Q3 female 2.05 75.00 105.00 77.50 92.50 male 4.14 75.00 145.00 90.00 115.00 The difference in the sample means is 102.06 - 85.71 = 16.35 mph

  8. The Question in Statistical Notation Let M = the average fastest speed of all male students. and F = the average fastest speed of all female students. Then we want to know whether MF. This is equivalent to knowing whether M -F  0

  9. All possible questions in statistical notation In general, we can always compare two averages by seeing how their difference compares to 0:

  10. Set up hypotheses • Null hypothesis: • H0: M= F [equivalent to M- F = 0] • Alternative hypothesis: • Ha: M F [equivalent to M- F 0]

  11. Inferences about Two Means:Independent and Small Samples

  12. Assumptions: Pooled Two-Sample T Test and T Interval 1. The two samples are independent. 2. Both samples are normal or the two sample sizes are small, n1< 30 and n2< 30 3. Both variances are unknown but equal. Assume variances are equal only if neither sample standard deviation is more than twice that of the other sample standard deviation.

  13. Confidence IntervalsNormal Samples w/ Unknown Equal Variance (x1- x2) - E < (µ1 - µ2) < (x1- x2) + E where

  14. Leaded vs Unleaded Each of the cars selected for the EPA study was tested and the number of miles per gallon for each was obtained and recorded (Leaded=1 and Unleaded=2). Leaded (1) Unleaded(2) n 11 10 x 17.2 19.9 S 2.1 2

  15. 95% Confidence Interval

  16. Pooled Two-Sample T Tests Normal Samples w/ unknown Variance P-value: Use t distribution with n1+n2-2 degrees of freedom and find the P-value by following the same procedure for t tests summarized in Ch 8. Critical values: Based on the significance level , use for upper tail tests, use for lower tail tests and use for two tailed tests.

  17. Leaded vs Unleaded Claim: 1<2 Ho : 1 = 2 H1 : 1<2  = 0.01 Reject H0 Fail to reject H0 -1.729

  18. Leaded vs Unleaded Pooled Two-Sample T Test Claim: 1<2 Ho : 1 = 2 H1 : 1<2  = 0.05

  19. Leaded vs Unleaded There is significant evidence to support the claim that the leaded cars have a lower mean mpg than unleaded cars Claim: 1<2 Ho : 1 = 2 H1 : 1<2  = 0.01 Reject H0 Fail to reject H0 Reject Null -1.729 sample data: t = - 3.01 P-value=0.0077(=area of red region)

  20. Assumptions: Two-Sample T Test and T Interval 1. The two samples are independent. 2. Both samples are normal or the two sample sizes are small, n1< 30 and n2< 30 3. Both variances are unknown but unequal

  21. Confidence IntervalsNormal Samples w/ Unknown Unequal Variance (x1- x2) - E < (µ1 - µ2) < (x1- x2) + E where (round v down to the nearest integer)

  22. Unpooled Two Sample T-Test Normal Samples w/ Unknown Variance P-value: Use t distribution with v degrees of freedom and find the P-value by following the same procedure for t tests summarized in Ch 8. Critical values: Based on the significance level , use for upper tail tests, use for lower tail tests and use for two tailed tests.

  23. Example We compare the density of two different types of brick. Assuming normality of the two densities distributions and unequal unknown variances, test if there is a difference in the mean densities of two different types of brick. Type I brick Type 2 brick n 6 5 x 22.73 21.95 S 0.10 0.24

  24. Unpooled Two-Sample T-Test Ho : 1 = 2 H1 : 12  = 0.05 P-Value = 0.001; Reject the null and conclude that there is significant difference in the mean densities of the two types of brick

  25. Two-sample t-test in Minitab • Select Stat. Select Basic Statistics. • Select 2-sample t to get a Pop-Up window. • Click on the radio button before Samples in one Column. Put the measurement variable in Samples box, and put the grouping variable in Subscripts box. • Specify your alternative hypothesis. • If appropriate, select Assume Equal Variances. • Select OK.
