Objectives Use JMP to evaluate the t-test assumption

of normality. Construct lower-tailed, upper-tailed, and two-tailed

hypothesis tests using the t-test. Identify the appropriate test statistic and hypothesis

test to answer a research question.

One-Sample t-Test AssumptionsThe one-sample t-test assumes that is normally distributed. Normal populations yield normal sample means.

– Decide whether population is normal based on tests of sample data.

– Small samples might weakly support these tests. Non-normal populations might yield normal sample

means.– Large samples benefit from principle of central

limit theorem.

Evaluating NormalityIn addition to graphical tools, JMP provides a statistical test for normality with the following hypotheses:

H0: the data come from a

normal distribution

H1: the data do not come from

a normal distribution

5

6

Statistical Tests for NormalityThree tests are provided by the Distribution platform to assess the normality of the data. Shapiro-Wilk test for up to 2000 observations. Kolmogorov-Smirnov-Lilliefors (KSL) test for more

than 2000 observations. Lilliefors confidence region in the normal quantile plot.

7

One-Sample t-Test AssumptionsThe one-sample t-test assumes that observations are independent. Independence is determined by the data collection

method. An appropriate simple random sample should lead

to independent observations. Advanced methods handle restrictions to the

randomization both in the design and in the analysis of data from an experiment.

Three Research Problems An electronics manufacturer wants to determine

whether, on average, its power supplies are supplying significantly more or less than the desired 12 amperes.

An agricultural company is confident that its new fertilizer results in crop yields of more than 55 bushels per acre, on average.

A laboratory group is concerned that the purity of a chemical that it is using is less than 99.4% on average, as the supplier claims.

How to Choose the Appropriate t-TestExamine the alternative hypothesis to determine what t-test is appropriate. Use a two-tailed test if you suspect the true mean

is different than claimed (H1: 12). Use an upper-tailed test if you suspect that the true

mean is higher than claimed (H1: > 55 ). Use a lower-tailed test if you suspect that the true

mean is lower than claimed (H1: < 99.4).

Objectives Recognize when a paired t-test is appropriate. Perform a paired t-test.

Paired t-TestA paired t-test is a one-sample t-test on the mean of the differences between paired observations. A paired t-test tests the following hypotheses:

where d is the difference between paired measurements.

29

H0: µd = 0

H1: µd 0

30

The Test StatisticUse this test statistic to determine whether two means from paired samples differ:

where

is the mean difference between the paired observations (di = y2i – y1i).

is the hypothesized mean difference (H0: µd = 0).

is the standard error of the mean difference.

2.06 Quiz – Correct AnswerExamine the output from the exercise. What is the conclusion from these comparisons of blood pressure before and after the training?

The 95% confidence interval on the true average does not contain zero in either case, so this indicates that there is a difference, on average, between the blood pressure readings before and after the training.

Objectives Distinguish between a two-sample t-test

and a paired t-test. Identify the three assumptions of a two-sample t-test. Compare the means of two populations using

a two-sample t-test.

41

42

Two-Sample t-Test or Paired t-Test? A two-sample t-test, or independent t-test, is used

when you compare the means of two independent populations.

A paired t-test is used when there are pairs of related measurements.
