Module 5 Homework Assignment Lee

The document contains sample homework problems and solutions for statistical hypothesis testing chapters. It includes examples of: 1) Stating the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically and in words for a one sample z-test, two sample t-test, and two-tailed test. 2) Performing calculations and interpreting the results of two two-sample t-tests, including whether to reject the null hypothesis. 3) Identifying which types of t-tests are examples of independent samples t-tests, one-sample t-tests, and repeated measures t-tests.

Ch. 9: Complete #6, #16

#6: Hypotheses

a) In words

Null Hypothesis, H0:

Implementation of a reward system has no effect on the worker productivity.

Alternative Hypothesis, Ha:

Implementation of a reward system have an effect on the worker productivity..

b) Symbolic form

Null Hypothesis, H0:

H 0 : μ=250 gizmos

Alternative Hypothesis, Ha:

H 0 : μ≠ 250 gizmos

#16: Two-Tailed Test

Data:

Population Mean, µ = 16 hours

Sample Mean =
∑ xi = 17+20+ 21+ 15+19+17+15+21 = 145 =18.125 hours
N 8 8

Sample Standard Deviation, σ = 2.4749

Sample Size, n = 8
3

Significance Level, α = 0.01

Null Hypothesis: H 0 : μ=16

Alternative Hypothesis: H a : μ ≠16

Test Statistic:

x−μ0 18.125−16
z= = =2.43
σ 2.4749/ √ 8
√n

Critical Values:

Use the Standard Normal Table;

−z ∝/ 2=−2.58∧z ∝/ 2=2.58

Rejection Rule:

We Reject H0 if z ≤−z ∝ or if z ≥ z ∝

z=2.43 ≥−z ∝/ 2=−2.58

z=2.43< z ∝/ 2=2.58

Do Not Reject H0

Conclusion:

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the average amount of time slept by the sample

differ significantly from the population average.

Ch. 10: Complete #2, #8, and #12

#2

µ1 - µ2 is eliminated from the working formula for the t test of independent samples because both

the population means are equal to zero, hence, eliminated from the formula.

#8: Independent-Samples t-Test

Data:

M1 = 46 n1 = 6

M2 = 40 n2 = 5

S M −M =3.11
1 2

Significance level, α = 0.05

Degree of freedom, df = 6-1= 5

Hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: H 0 : M 1=M 2

Alternative Hypothesis: H a : M 1> M 2

Test Statistics:

( M 1−M 2 )( μ 1−μ1 )
t obt =
S M −M
1 2

46−40
t obt = =1.9293
3.11

Rejection Rule:
5

P ( t obt =1.9293 ) =p−value=0.0558

p ( 0.558 ) >∝=0.05

Do Not Reject H0

Conclusion:

The results is not statistically significant. There is insufficient evidence to reject the null

hypothesis and conclude that scores will be significantly higher in group one than in group two.

#12: Non-directional Independent Samples t-Tests

Data:

M1 = 73 n1 = 19 SS1 = 284

M2 = 69 n2 = 16 SS2 = 302

Significance level, α = 0.01

Degrees of freedom, df1 = 18 df2 = 15

Hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: H 0 : M 1=M 2

Alternative Hypothesis: Ha : M 1≠ M 2

Rejection Rule:

P ( t=2.7975 )= p−value=0.0 119

p ( 0. 0119 ) <∝=0.05

Reject the H0

Conclusion:

The results is statistically significant. There is enough evidence to warrant rejection of the null

hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

Ch. 11: Complete #2, #8, #10

#2

Null Hypothesis: H 0 : μ1=μ2

Alternative Hypothesis: H a : μ1 ≠ μ2

#8

Marilu’s formula for the calculation of tobt is wrong and the denominator is not the value of SSD

from the summary data.


7

MD = 8 n = 12 SSD = 984 α = 0.01

The correct calculation for the value of tobt is;

( M D −μ ) 8−0
t obt = =
SSD 984

t obt =0.0081

#10: Types of t-Tests

a. An independent samples t test.

b. A one-sample t test.

c. An independent samples t test.

d. A repeated measures t test.

e. A one-sample t test.

f. A repeated measures t test.
