1 Hypothesis Testing Lecture 4
2 Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing is about making decisions Is a hypothesis true or false? Are women paid less, on average, than men?
3 Principles of Hypothesis Testing The null hypothesis is initially presumed to be true Evidence is gathered, to see if it is consistent with the hypothesis, and tested using a decision rule If the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis, the null hypothesis continues to be considered true (later evidence might change this) If not, the null is rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis
4 Two Possible Types of Error Decision making is never perfect and mistakes can be made Type I error: rejecting the null when it is true Type II error: accepting the null when it is false
5 Type I and Type II Errors True situation Decision H 0 true H 0 false 0 0 Correct Accept H 0 Type II error decision Reject H 0 Type I error Correct decision
6 Avoiding Incorrect Decisions We wish to avoid both Type I and II errors We can alter the decision i rule to do this Unfortunately, reducing the chance of making a Type I error generally means increasing the chance of a Type II error Hence there is a trade off
7 Diagram of the Decision Rule Distribution of mean under the alternative hypothesis: <5000 Distribution of mean under the null hypothesis: =5000 Null rejection region D Null non-rejection region
8 How to Make Mk a Decision i Where do we place the decision line? Set the Type I error probability to a particular value. By convention, this is 5% There is therefore a 5% probability that we are wrongly rejecting the null This is known as the significance level ( ) of the test. It is complementary to the confidence level (1 ) of estimation 5% significance level 95% confidence level
9 Example: How Long do Batteries Last? A well known battery manufacturer claims its product lasts at least 5000 hours, on average A sample of 80 batteries is tested. The average time before failure is 4900 hours, with standard deviation 500 hours Should the manufacturer s claim be accepted or rejected?
10 The Hypotheses to be Tested Formal statement of the null and alternative hypotheses H 0 : >= 5,000 against H 1 : < 5,000 Null always contains the = sign This is a one tailed test, since the rejection region occupies only one side of the distribution the alternative hypothesis suggests that the true distribution is to the left of the null: left tailed test
11 Should the Null Hypothesis be Rejected? Is 4,900 far enough below 5,000? Is it more than 1.64 standard errors below 5,000? 1.64 standard errors below the mean cuts off the bottom 5% of the Normal distribution. Calculate a z score for the sample mean x 4,900 5,000 z Standard error 2 2 s n of the mean 1.79
12 Should the Null Hypothesis be Rejected? 4,900 is 1.79 standard errors below 5,000,, so falls into the rejection region (bottom 5% of the distribution) Hence, we can reject H 0 at the 5% significance level or, equivalently, with 95% confidence If the true mean were 5,000, there is less than a 5% chance of obtaining sample evidence such as x 4,900 from a sample of n = 80
13 Diagram of the Decision Rule Distribution of mean under the alternative hypothesis: <5000 Distribution of mean under the null hypothesis: = Null rejection region Null non-rejection region
14 Formal Layout of a Problem 1. Write out the nullandalternative alternative eg: H 0 : >= 5,000 against H 1 : < 5, Choose a significance level, e.g. 5% B 3. Look up the critical value z *, e.g. at 5% sig. level z 0.05 = Calculate the test statistic, in our example z = Decision: reject H 0 or do not reject. reject Do not reject Ho Z * In our example since 1.79 < 1.64 and falls into the rejection region, we reject the null hypothesis
15 Specifying the Alternative: One vs. Two Tailed Tests Use a one tailedtest if you are only concerned about falling in one side of the hypothesised value e.g. we would not worry if batteries lasted longer than 5,000 hours. You would not want to reject H 0 if the sample mean were anywhere above 5,000 you know that one of the sides is impossible (e.g. demand curves cannot slope upwards) Use a two tailedtailed test if you are just as concerned about being above or below the hypothesised value you know both outcomes are possible you are not sure!
16 Two Tailed Test Example It is claimed that an average child spends 15 hours per week watching television. A survey of 100 children finds an average of 14.5 hours per week, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Is the claim justified? The claim would be wrong if children spend either more or less than 15 hours watching TV. The rejection region is split across the two tails of the distribution. This is a two tailed test.
17 A Two Tailed Test Diagram H 0 H 1 H 1 /2=2.5% /2=2.5% -z * +z * Reject H 0 Reject H 0
18 Solution to the ProblemB 1. Wit Write out the hull and alternative ti H 0 : = 15 H 1 : Choose the significance level, e.g. 5% 3. Look up the critical value, z* = Calculate the test statistic: z x s n reject Do not reject Ho reject 5. Decision: we do not reject H 0 since 1.96< < 1.96 and so does not fall into the rejection region
19 Choice of Significance Level Why 5%? Like its complement, the 95% confidence level, it is a convention. A different value can be chosen If the cost of making a Type I error is especially high, then set a lower significance level, e.g. 1%. The significance level is the probability of making a Type I error
20 Testing Hypotheses About a Proportion Same principles: reject H 0 if the test statistic falls into the rejection region To test H 0 : = 0.5 vs H 1 : 0.5 (e.g. a coin is fair vs not fair) the test statistic i is z p p n n
21 Testing a Proportion (cont.) If the sample evidence were 60 heads from 100 tosses (p = 0.6) we would have z so we would (just) reject H 0 since 2 > 1.96
22 Small Samples (n < 25) Two consequences: the t distribution is used instead of the standard normal for tests of the mean t x s 2 n ~ tn 1 tests of proportions in small samples cannot be done by the standard methods used in the book
23 Testing a Mean with Small Samples A sample of 12 cars of a particular brand average 35 mpg, with standard deviation 15. Test the manufacturer s claim of 40 mpg as the true average. H 0 : = 40 H 1 : < 40 1
24 Testing a Mean (cont.) The test statistic is t The critical value of the t distribution (df = 11, 5% significance level, one tail) is t* 0.05,11 = Hence we cannot reject the manufacturer s claim
25 Summary The principles p are the same for all tests: write out the null and alternative choose a significance ifi levell look up the critical value from the z or t tables calculate l the test tstatistic ttiti decide whether to reject or not reject null (sketch!) The formula for the test statistic depends upon the problem (mean, proportion, etc) The rejection region varies, depending upon whether it is a one or two tailed test
