STEPS IN HYPOTHESIS TESTINGTRADITIONAL METHOD
UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITIONS USED IN HYPOTHESIS TESTING
• Every hypothesis-testing situation begins with the statement of a ____________.• A hypothesis is a tentative, testable ____________ to a scientific question.
• A hypothesis is supposition or proposed _______________ made on the basis of
limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
• A ______________ ________________ is a is a conjecture about a population parameter. This conjecture may or may not be true.
UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITIONS USED IN HYPOTHESIS TESTING
• State a hypothesis for the following research questions.
• Who is the best point guard in the National Basketball Association (NBA)?
• What franchise sells the best chicken tenders?
• What factors influence habits of study in high school students?
1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
• The _______________ hypothesis, symbolized by 𝐻" , is a statistical hypothesis that states that there is no difference between a parameter and a specific value, or that there
is no difference between two parameters.
• The _______________ hypothesis, symbolized by 𝐻# , is a statistical hypothesis that states the existence of a difference between a parameter and a specific value, or states
that there is a difference between two parameters.
• Sidenote: Although the definitions of null and alternative hypotheses given here use the word
parameter, these definitions can be extended to include other terms such as distributions and randomness.

1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
• A medical researcher is interested in finding out whether a new medication will have any undesirable side effects. The researcher is particularly concerned with the pulse rate of
the patients who take the medication. Will the pulse rate increase, decrease, or remain
unchanged after a patient takes the medication?
• Since the researcher knows that the mean pulse rate for the population under study is
82 beats per minute, the hypotheses for this situation are ______________ and ______________.
• The 𝐻" specifies that the mean will remain unchanged, and the 𝐻# states that it will be
different. This test is called a two-tailed test, since the possible side effects of the medicine could be to raise or lower the pulse rate.
SITUATION A
1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
• A chemist invents an additive to increase the life of an automobile battery.
• If the mean lifetime of the automobile battery without the additive is 36 months, then her hypotheses are ______________ and ______________.
• In this situation, the chemist is interested only in increasing the lifetime of the batteries. That’s why the hypotheses are like that. This test is called right-tailed, since the interest is in an increase only.
SITUATION B
1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
• A contractor wishes to lower heating bills by using a special type of insulation in houses.
• If the average of the monthly heating bills is $78, her hypotheses about heating costs with the use of insulation are______________ and ______________.
• This test is a left-tailed test, since the contractor is interested only in lowering heating costs.

1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESISHYPOTHESIS TESTING COMMON PHRASES
1. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESISYOU DO SOME EXAMPLES
a) A researcher thinks that if expectant mothers use vitamin pills, the birth weight of the babies will increase. The average birth weight of the population is 8.6 pounds.
b) An engineer hypothesizes that the mean number of defects can be decreased in a manufacturing process of compact disks by using robots instead of humans for certain tasks. The mean number of defective disks per 1000 is 18.
c) A psychologist feels that playing soft music during a test will change the results of the test. The psychologist is not sure whether the grades will be higher or lower. In the past, the mean of the scores was 73.
2. DESIGN THE STUDYSELECT THE CORRECT STATISTICAL TEST
• A ____________ ___________ uses the data obtained from a sample to make a decision about whether the null hypothesis should be rejected.
• The numerical value obtained from a statistical test is called the _______ _________.
2. DESIGN THE STUDYPOSIBLE OUTCOMES OF HYPOTHESIS TEST
A ______ error occurs if you reject the null hypothesis when it is true.
A ______ error occurs if you do not reject the null hypothesis when it is false.

2. DESIGN THE STUDYLEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
• The only way to prove anything statistically is to use the entire population, which, in most cases, is not possible.
• The decision, then, is made on the basis of probabilities. That is, when there is a large difference between the mean obtained from the sample and the hypothesized mean, the null hypothesis is probably not true.
• The question is, How large a difference is necessary to• reject the null hypothesis?
• Here is where the level of significance is used.
2. DESIGN THE STUDYLEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
• The level of _____________ is the maximum probability of committing a type I error. This probability is symbolized by 𝛼 (greek letter, alpha).
• Statisticians generally agree on using three arbitrary significance levels: • _______• _______• _______
• That is, if the null hypothesis is rejected, the probability of a type I error will be 10%, 5%, or 1%, depending on which level of significance is used.
2. DESIGN THE STUDYCRITICAL VALUES
• The ____________ ____________ separates the critical region from the noncritical region. The symbol for critical value is C.V.
• The ____________ ____________ (also known as the rejection region) is the range of values of the test value that indicates that there is a significant difference and that the null hypothesis should be rejected.
• The ____________ ____________ (also known as the nonrejectionregion) is the range of values of the test value that indicates that the difference was probably due to chance and that the null hypothesis should not be rejected.
2. DESIGN THE STUDYCRITICAL VALUES
• The critical value can be on the right side of the mean or on the left side of the mean for a one-tailed test. Its location depends on the inequality sign of the alternative hypothesis.• For example, in situation B, where the chemist is interested in increasing
the average lifetime of automobile batteries, 𝐻": 𝜇 = 36 and 𝐻#: 𝜇 > 36. The null hypothesis will be rejected only when the sample mean is significantly greater than 36. • Hence, the critical value must be on the right side of the mean.

a) A left-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.10
b) A two-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.02
c) A right-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.005
THE NEXT THREE STEPS
1) State the hypotheses. Be sure to state both the null and the alternative hypotheses.
2) Design the study. This step includes selecting the correct statistical test, choosing a level of significance, and formulating a plan to carry out the study. The plan should
include information such as the definition of the population, the way the sample will be
selected, and the methods that will be used to collect the data.
3) Conduct the study and collect the data.
4) Evaluate the data. The data should be tabulated in this step, and the statistical test
should be conducted. Finally, decide whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis.
5) Summarize the results.

LESSON SUMMARY LET’S PRACTICE ONE MORE TIME
• The Incredible Edible Egg company recently found that eating eggs does not increase a person’s blood serum cholesterol. Five hundred subjects participated in a study that lasted for 2 years. The participants were randomly assigned to either a no-egg group or a moderate-egg group. The blood serum cholesterol levels were checked at the beginning and at the end of the study. Overall, the groups’ levels were not significantly different. The company reminds us that eating eggs is healthy if done in moderation. Many of the previous studies relating eggs and high blood serum cholesterol jumped to improper conclusions.
LET’S PRACTICE ONE MORE TIME
1) The study was prompted by claims that linked foods high in cholesterol to high blood serum cholesterol.
2) The population under study is people in general.
3) A sample of 500 subjects was collected.
4) The hypothesis was that eating eggs did not increase blood serum cholesterol.
5) Blood serum cholesterol levels were collected.
6) Most likely but we are not told which test.
7) The conclusion was that eating a moderate amount of eggs will not significantly increase blood serum cholesterol level.

USING THE P-VALUE METHOD
The P-value (or probability value) is the probability of getting a sample statistic (such as the mean) or a more extreme sample statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true.
When you find the z-score and look in the table, the probability you find, that’s the P-value!
Reject the null hypothesis if the value is under the level of significance.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING
• Participation in this review counts as a grade. • In order to get credit for this activity, each student must turn in their worksheet completed.
• Team A vs Team B. Each team has a captain.
• The winner team will participate in a drawing for 3 gift cards.
• Get your materials ready!• Pencil
• Calculator• Tables
• Seven exercises will show up in the screen. You do nothing until I ask the questions related to these questions.
• I will be calling one member of each team to go to the board and answer my questions. • If the student does not answer correctly, the other team has a chance to steal the point.

PROBLEM #1
• An e-commerce research company claims that 60% or more graduate students have bought merchandise on-line. A consumer group is suspicious of the claim and thinks that the proportion is lower than 60%. A random sample of 80 graduate students show that only 34 students have ever done so. Is there enough evidence to show that the true proportion is lower than 60%?

PROBLEM #2
• The administrator at your local hospital states that on weekends the average wait time for emergency room visits is 10 minutes. Your family and friends have complained on how long they waited to be seen in the ER over a weekend, so you dispute the administrator's claim. You decide to test you hypothesis. Over the course of a few weekends you record the wait time for 40 randomly selected patients. The average wait time for
these 40 patients is 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Do you have enough evidence to support your hypothesis that the average ER wait time exceeds 10 minutes? You opt to conduct the test at 𝛼 = 0.05.
PROBLEM #3
• The high school athletic director is asked if football players are doing as well academically as the other student athletes. We know from a previous study that the average GPA for the student athletes is 3.10. After an initiative to help improve the GPA of student athletes, the athletic director randomly samples 20 football players and finds that the average GPA of the sample is 3.18 with a sample standard deviation of 0.54. Is there a significant improvement? Use a 0.05 significance level.
PROBLEM #4
• A farmer is trying out a planting technique that he hopes will increase the yield on his pea plants. The average number of pods on one of his pea plants is 145 pods with a standard deviation of 100 pods. This year, after trying his new planting technique, he takes a random sample of his plants and finds the average number of pods to be 147. He wonders whether or not this is a statistically significant increase. Design a study to help the farmer in his wondering.
PROBLEM #5
• It has been reported that the average credit card debt for college seniors is $3262. The student senate at a large university feels that their seniors do not have such a high debt, so it conducts a study of 50 randomly selected seniors and finds that the average debt is $2995, and the population standard deviation is $1100. Can we support the student senate’s claim using the data collected?

PROBLEM #6
• The medical Rehabilitation Education Foundation reports that the average cost of rehabilitation for stroke victims is $24,672. To see if the average cost of rehab is different at a particular hospital, a researcher selects a random sample of 35 stroke victims at the hospital
and finds the average cost of their rehab is $25,250. The standard deviation of the population is $3251. Can it be concluded that the
average cost of stroke rehabilitation at a particular hospital is different from $24,672? Use the p-value method and let the audience decide on
the level of significance.
PROBLEM #7
• A certain company would like to determine the amount of time employees waste at work each day. A random sample of 10 of its employees shows a mean time of 121.80 minutes wasted per day with a standard deviation of 9.45 minutes per day. Does the data provide evidence that the mean amount of time wasted by employees each day is more than 120 minutes? Assume the population is at least approximately normally distributed. Use the p-value method and let the audience decide on an alpha.

• Find your number in the lists posted in the bulletin boards (back wall and main entrance). That’s the number of your seat.
• SILENCE YOUR PHONE and put it in the pocket that has your number in the bulletin board (back wall).
• NO EXCEPTIONS and NO PHONES in backpack. You can assume the risk, but if I see your phone, I will take it and your parents/guardians need to pick it up in the main office.
• No food or drinks (except water) allowed in my room. Finish your food outside before you enter my classroom.
