Study Notes
Golf Ball Driving Distances
- Sample evidence suggests mean driving distance of Par, Inc. golf balls exceeds that of Rap, Ltd. golf balls.
- Two t-tests conducted are: Student t test (Pooled; Equal Variance) and Welch t test (Unequal Variance).
Interval Estimation and Test Statistics
- Interval estimation for μ1 - μ2 when population standard deviations (σ1 and σ2) are unknown.
- Degrees of freedom (df) calculated from sample variances impacts t distribution critical values.
- For equal sample variances, pooled variance is used; for unequal, Welch's method applies.
Specific Motors Comparison
- Comparison of mpg performance between 24 M cars and 28 J cars.
- M cars: 29.8 mpg (SD 2.56); J cars: 27.3 mpg (SD 1.81).
- A 90% confidence interval for mpg difference is 1.449 to 3.551.
Delivery Times Analysis
- Test conducted to compare delivery times between UPX and INTEX services.
- Hypotheses formulated with a significance level of α = 0.05.
- Test statistic indicates rejection of H0, confirming significant difference in delivery times at 95% confidence.
Sampling Distribution for Proportions
- Mean and standard deviation of sampling distribution for proportions are derived from sample sizes and proportions.
- If sample sizes are large, sampling distribution of (p̅1 - p̅2) approximates normality.
- Inability to reject H0 indicates no significant increase in awareness of product post-campaign.
Variance and Chi-Square Distribution
- Variance is crucial for decision-making, especially in production processes.
- Chi-square distribution utilized for interval estimation and hypothesis testing of population variance.
- Test example shows variation in thermostat performance during quality testing.
Testing Equality of k Population Means
- Experiment compares durability of three car wax types on new cars.
- Each wax type tested through number of washes before deterioration.
- Insufficient evidence to conclude differences in mean durability across wax types, p-value < 0.01 indicates potential relevance.
Multiple Comparison Procedures
- After rejecting null hypothesis in ANOVA for equal means, Fisher’s LSD helps identify specific differences.
Summary of Key Conclusions
- Differences confirmed in means for certain tests, while others show no significant variance across tested groups.
- Statistical methods employed include paired t-tests and analysis of variance, illustrating robust techniques for validating difference claims.
