1 Chapter 7 TEST OF HYPOTHESIS
2 In a certain perspective, we can view hypothesis testing just like a jury in a court trial. In a jury trial, the null hypothesis is similar to the jury making a decision of not- guilty, and the alternative is the guilty verdict. Here we assume that in a jury trial that the defendant isn't guilty unless the prosecution can show beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant is guilty. If it has been established that there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt and the jury believes that there is enough evidence to refute the null hypothesis, the jury gives a verdict in favor of the alternative hypothesis, which is a guilty verdict. In general, when performing hypothesis testing, we set up the null (H o ) and alternative (H a ) hypothesis in such a way that we believe that Ho is true unless there is sufficient evidence (information from a sample; statistics) to show otherwise. 7.1 Statistical Hypothesis populations. A statistical hypothesis is an assertion or conjecture concerning one or more Types of statistical hypothesis: 1. Null hypothesis the hypothesis that we wish to focus our attention on. Generally this is a statement that a population parameter has a specified value.
3 The hypothesis that is tested and the one which the researcher wishes to reject or not to reject. Specifies an exact value of the population parameter. Denoted by H o.. Alternative hypothesis - The hypothesis that is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. Allows for the possibility of several values. Denoted by H a or H 1. May be directional (quantifier is < or >) or non-directional (quantifier is ). Example State the null and alternative hypothesis in the following statements: 1. The percentage of junior high school students who pass math subjects during summer is 65%. H o : 65 H a : 65. At least 5 typhoons on the average hit the country every year. H o : 5 H a : 5 3. Forty-eight percent of high school graduates are computer illiterate. H o : 48% H a : 48% 4. At most 6 out of 10 married women in the rural areas are house wives. H o : 60% H a : 60%
4 Exercise 7.1(a) State the null and alternative hypothesis. 1. At most 65% of public school children are malnourished.. On the average at least /3 of high school students who pass their math subjects pass their physics subjects. 3. Less than half of the newly nursing board passers immediately get their visa in a year. 4. A man should have at least 8 hours of sleep everyday % of elected public officials came from the same university. A test of hypothesis is the method to determine whether the statistical hypothesis is true or not. In performing statistical test of hypothesis we consider the following situations: Null hypothesis TRUE FALSE Reject TYPE I Error Correct Decision Do not Reject Correct Decision TYPE II Error The probability of committing a TYPE I error is also called the level of significance and is denoted by a small Greek symbol alpha. Some of the common values used for the level of significance are 0.1, 0.05, and For example, if = 0.1 for a certain test, and the null hypothesis is rejected, then it means that we are 90% certain that this is the correct decision.
5 Important things to know before conducting a test of hypothesis: 1. Level of significance,. The level of significance,, is the probability of committing an error of rejecting the null hypothesis when, in fact, it is true.. One-tailed tests vs. Two-tailed tests One-tailed test of hypothesis A one tailed test is performed when the alternative hypothesis is concerned with values specifically below or above an exact value of the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is directional. Two-tailed test of hypothesis A two-tailed test is performed when the alternative hypothesis is concerned with values that are not equal to an exact value of the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is non-directional. 3. Test Statistic The value generated from sample data. Test value to be compared with the critical values. 4. Critical Region (Region of rejection/region of acceptance) Depends on the type of test to be performed.
6 If test is one tailed, then the critical region is concentrated on either the left tail (for <) or the right tail of the distribution (for >). If test is two tailed, then the critical region is distributed on each tail of the distribution. Critical values are obtained depending on the type of test to be performed If the test is one tailed, the significance level will be the area either on the left tail or on the right tail of the distribution. If the test is two tailed, the area in each tail of the distribution will be /. Steps in hypothesis testing 1. Set up the null and alternative hypothesis.. Specify the level of significance. 3. Determine the critical region and the corresponding critical values. 4. Compute the value of the test statistic. 5. Make a decision. Reject H 0 in favor of H 1 if test statistic falls in the critical region. Do not reject H 0 if it falls in the acceptance region. 6. Draw appropriate conclusions.
7 Remark Although most textbooks in statistics use the term accept and reject when interpreting results of statistical test of hypothesis, it is very important to understand that the rejection of a hypothesis is to conclude that it is false. While the acceptance of a hypothesis merely implies that there is no significant evidence to say that 7..Testing it is false. a single population mean, Suppose a random sample of size n is taken from a normal population with mean and standard deviation. To test the claim that the population mean is equal to a certain value 0, we perform the test of hypothesis for the population mean,. Null and alternative hypothesis H 0 : = 0 H 1 : < 0, > 0, or 0. CASE 1: is known or unknown but n 30. Test statistic: The test statistic depends on the case where the problem falls under. z x 0 n
8 Critical region/ value/s: For a one tailed test: Reject H 0 if z < - z z > z for a left-tailed test for a right-tailed test For a two tailed test: Reject H 0 if z < -z / or z > z / for a two tailed test Note z denotes the z value with an area of to the right. z Example 1. A random sample of 100 recorded deaths in Mindanao during the past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years. The sample also showed a 8.9 years of standard deviation. Does this data indicate that the average life span of people living in Mindanao is greater than 70 years? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
9 Solution: Step 1. H : 70 and H : Note that the alternative hypothesis is directional, we are performing a one tailed test; specifically a right tailed test. Step (Level of significance) Step 3. Critical Region z z z z Critical Region Step 4. Test Statistic Since the population standard deviation is unknown but the sample size is large enough, that is, n 30, we can substitute the sample standard deviation for, thus we have z x s n / Step 5.
10 Since the value of the test statistic falls under the critical region, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Step 6. Since the null hypothesis is rejected, we say that there is sufficient evidence to say that the average life span of people living in Mindanao is greater than 70 years.. A salon owner believes that the average number of their regular customers gets a haircut and pedicure is 5. A random sample of 5 regular customers showed that 0 of them did a haircut and pedicure. With =5% is the belief of the salon owner true? Solution Step 1. H : 5 and H : 5 tailed test. 0 1 Note that the alternative hypothesis is bi-directional, we are performing a two Step (Level of significance) Step 3. Critical Region z z / z z Critical Region 1.96
11 Step 4. Test Statistic Since the population standard deviation is unknown but the sample size is large enough, that is, n 30, we can substitute the sample standard deviation for, thus we have z x s n Step 5. Since the value of the test statistic falls under the critical region, we reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Step 6. Since the null hypothesis is rejected, we say that there is sufficient evidence to say that the average life span of people living in Mindanao is greater than 70 years. CASE : unknown and n < 30 Test statistic x t 0 s n Critical Values/Regions
12 For a one tailed test: Reject H 0 if t < - t with df = n -1 for a left-tailed test t > t with df = n -1 for a right-tailed test For a two tailed test: Reject H 0 if t < -t / or t > t / with df - n -1 for a two tailed test Example 1. It is believed that on the average more than 70% of female mall goers regularly shop for shoes. A random sample of 0 female mall goers showed a mean of 80% regularly go to malls to shop shoes with 10% sample variance. With 95% confidence, test whether 70% of female mall goers regularly shop for shoes.. In the past a study has been made on call center agents on their sleeping habits. The result showed that the average number of hours they took for sleeping is at most 8 hours. A random sample of 5 call center agents where asked and showed that the average number of hours they took for sleeping is 6.5 with a sample variance of hours. Test whether past the study still true. Use α=0.01. Exercise 7.1(b)
13 1. Ritz grocery store declared that their average daily income is P 15, 000 with a standard deviation of P, 000. A random sample of 0 grocery stores of the same kind had been asked of their daily income and said to have P19, 000 on the average. If we assume that the daily income is normally distributed can we conclude that Ritz grocery store daily income declaration is right with 95% confidence?. Last 000, Central Luzon farmers demanded more supply on the fertilizers the government is providing them. They said that the supply should be 0 kilos on the average for 10 hectares of land. In 007, a random sample of 35 farmers was asked the number kilos of fertilizers a 10-hectare land would need. The result showed 4 kilos on the average with 3 kilos standard deviation. With 90% confidence is it true that the average kilos of fertilizers needed for a 10 hectare land have changed since their last demand? Assume normal distribution. 3. The daily average number of major defects detected per module by the Quality Assurance team that is considered normal is less than or equal to 6. To access the Software Development team s quality of developed modules a random sample of 35 modules was tested and found out that the mean number of major defects per module is 8 with a standard deviation of major defects. Based on the result with α=5% is the daily average number of major defects not normal? 4. The mayor of Las Piñas City wanted to hire a batch of teachers for his newly constructed elementary school. Based from previous studies by his education committee,
14 the average age of elementary school teachers in Las Piñas is 40 years old with a standard deviation of 5. A sample of 36 newly hired elementary teachers was taken and the following information is obtained: average age is 35. Does this indicate that the average age of elementary school teachers decreased? Use a 0.05 level of significance and assume normality. 5. A random sample of 8 cigarettes of a Marlboro has an average nicotine content of 4. milligrams and a standard deviation of 1.4 milligrams. Is this I line with the manufacturer's claim that the average nicotine content does not exceed 3.5 milligrams? Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the distribution of nicotine contents to be normal. 6. A new process for producing synthetic diamonds can be operated at a profitable level only if the average weight of the diamonds is greater than 0.5 karat. To evaluate the profitability of the process, six diamonds are generated, with recorded weights: 0.46, 0.61, 0.5, 0.48, 0.57, and 0.54 karat. a. Is there evidence to suggest that the variance of these measurements is greater than 0.0 karat? b. Do the six measurements present sufficient evidence that the process will be profitable? Test at the 0.01 level.
15 7. Testing a value of a single population proportion, p Suppose there are x successes in a random sample of size n drawn from a normal population. We wish to test whether the proportion of successes in a certain population is equal to some specified value. Null and alternative hypothesis H 0 : p = p 0 H 1 : p > p 0 ; p < p 0 ; or p p 0 Critical values/ critical region For a one-tailed test: Reject H 0 if z < -z for a left tailed test z > z for a right tailed test For a two-tailed test: Reject H 0 if z < -z / or z > z / Test statistic pˆ p0 z where p q 0 n 0 x pˆ n Example

A random sample of 70 people where given a taste test and resulted a 75% approval of the product. Will the company release the product in the market with 0.05 level of significance? Exercise A new papaya soap, claims that 80% of women who used it observed skin whitening within two weeks of use. A known competitor of the said product surveyed if the claim is true. The survey result said that 6 out of 10 women observed whitening on their skin in two weeks of use. With α= 5% is the claim of the newly produced papaya soap true?. An environmental non-government organization (NGO) declared that 7 out of 10 endangered birds in the country dies by hunting. The alarming report pushed the government environmental department to conduct their survey if such report is true to be able to put an immediate action to it. The result showed that 67% of the endangered bird species dies in hunting. With 90% confidence can the government environmental department conclude that the NGO s report is true? 3. The student government is preparing for this year school s foundation day. They are having a hard time where to conduct the talent s night to make sure there are enough
17 seats for attendees. In the past, 70% of the total number of students attends talent s night. They conducted a survey on 10 students and found out that 80 will be attending. Test whether the number of attendees this year will be the like the past with 95% confidence. 7.3 Testing the value of a population variance, Suppose we wish to test whether the population variance is equal to a specified value 0. Null and alternative hypothesis H 0 : = H 1 : < 0 0 ; > 0 ; or 0 Critical values/region For a one-tailed test: Reject H 0 if 1 for a left tailed test with df = n -1 for a right tailed test with df = n -1. For a two-tailed test: Reject H 0 if : 1 or with df = n -1. Test statistic: ( n 1) s 0
18 Example 1. A known candy manufacturer claims that their high-speed machines minimize the defected candies produced. They claim that their daily production only contains a variance of 100 defected candies. A random sample of 15 days candy production resulted a sample variance of 165 defected candies. Using =5% is the claim true?. The agency that monitors earthquakes said intensity of earthquakes in the Philippines has a variance of. A study was conducted on 30 earthquakes that hit the country since A standard deviation of 1. resulted. With =1% is the agency correct? Exercise A bottling company wants to access the state of their machines in terms of defects or over spilling on their daily production of bottled juices. If the over spilling does not exceed a variance of 0 bottled juices daily, the machines are said to be in good condition. A random sample of 60 juices resulted standard deviation of 5 bottles. Using α= 5% are the machines still in good condition?. A publishing company considers a book to be error free and ready to be out in the market if the variance error is less than 5 per page. A random sample of 30 pages was gathered
19 on a book and found a variance of 7 errors. Using α= 10% is the book ready to be out in the market? 3. Ten encoders from Clark Data Center Inc. have applied for a higher position in the typing pool of company and took a typing test. The following are the duration of each encoders for the test: 75, 70, 59, 60, 63, 55, 5, 70, 45, and 85 seconds. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true variance of the times required by encoders to complete the test paragraph. 4. In an experiment with rats, a behavioral scientist used an auditory signal hat food is available through an open door in the cage. The scientist counted the number of trials needed by each rat to learn to recognize the signal. Assuming that the population of number of trials is approximately normal, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population variance with the given data below: Does this interval support the claim that the variability of this data set is about?

21 Fact File Mostly, values for the level of significance, such as 0.05, 0.01, and 0.1 are used due to the manner in which we get the critical values back when computers have not been developed to perform such calculations. But now, in the event of technological advancements, computations for critical values of certain distributions are easy. However, textbooks in statistics carry with it the habit of using values in statistical tables, mainly because of ease of reference and simplicity in discussions.
22 REMARK: The following article in the book Probability and Statistics: The Science of Uncertainty by John Tabak, Ph.D. provides a clear example of how statistics can be misused and mis interpreted.
