Study Notes
Hypothesis Tests: t-tests for Two Sample Data (Chapter 11)
- This chapter covers hypothesis tests specifically for comparing means or proportions from two different groups in data analysis.
Types of Two Sample Hypothesis Tests
-
t-tests: Used for mean difference tests, examining scenarios like:
- Paired (dependent) data: Measurements taken before and after an event, or data from matched pairs (e.g., weight loss program, house prices from the same agent).
- Independent two group data: Data from distinct groups is compared (e.g., test scores of male and female students).
- Proportion difference tests: Used when the data in question represent proportions
Paired Sample Data (Dependent Sample Data)
- Paired data typically involves two measurements on the same subject or matched subjects, like a "before" and "after" measurement.
- Examples include comparisons of weight reduction programs, or house prices quoted by different agents on the same houses.
- Data is characterized by matching or pairing observations.
t-test for Paired Data
- Test Statistics: The formula for the t-test statistic is given as T = (d̄ - 0) / (sd / √n)
- d̄ : mean of the differences between paired observations
- sd: the standard deviation of the differences
- n: the number of paired observations
- The analysis then determines probabilities related to the observed t statistic (e.g., p-value for one-tailed tests, or two-tailed tests based on the specific hypothesis established).
- Use real-world examples (weight reduction, house prices) for calculation and interpretation.
t-test for Independent Data
- Data: Two independent groups (e.g., women and men test groups)
- Test Statistics: The formula for a t-test statistic for independent data is T = (X1-bar - X2-bar) / σp√(1/n1 + 1/n2).
- X1-bar: mean of the first sample.
- X2-bar: mean of the second sample.
- σp : pooled standard deviation of the two groups.
- n1, n2: sample sizes from group 1, and group 2 respectively.
- Calculation and interpretation of p-values are used to determine if the difference between means of the two groups is significant.
Excel Applications
- The provided information details the usage of Excel to conduct paired t-tests using existing datasets.
Proportion Difference Test
-
Test Statistics: A z-test formula is presented for comparing proportion differences between two groups.
- P₁: proportion from Group 1
- P₂: proportion from Group 2
- pc: pooled proportion
- Provides a means to determine if a significant difference exists between supporting rates, or other categorical proportions for groups.
- Demonstrates how to calculate the test statistic using real examples.
