What is Hypothesis testingA hypothesis is a metric or statistic about thepopulation that you want to test or verify with asample. e.g.: The average age of this college is 20could be a hypothesis about Viswajyothi collegestudentsThe assumption being that there is NO differencebetween the sample statistic & population statisticThe hypothesis in this case would be Mean Age = 20yrsThe Hypothesis is designated by Ho and is called the‘Null Hypothesis’We have to verify this from a sample ( of say 30students randomly selected).
NJ Jaissy
Hypothesis Testing Cont..Usually the Null Hypothesis ( Ho) isassumed to be the variable in thepopulation as is given in question eg: Age= 20The alternate Hypothesis is the oppositeof the Null Hypothesis; in this case itwould be: ‘Mean age is NOT’ 20 yrs.Alternate hypothesis is designated by H1Objective is to test to verify whether Hois correct or not

Significance Level
We accept or reject the null hypothesisbased on some criteria e.g: if we get themean of the sample to be within a certainlevel – we accept, else we rejectThe probability with which we will rejecta null hypothesis when it is true is thelevel of significanceSignificance level is defined by alpha ‘a’1-alpha = 1 – ‘a’ = Confidence interval

Which test: Two tail or single tail?
The average age of students in a college is said tobe 20 yrs. A sample is taken to verify that this isthe average age. What is Ho & H1? 1 tail / 2 tail?A manufacturer says his batteries have an averagelife of 1000 hours. A claim is rejected only if theaverage life is much lower. A sample is drawn toverify this. What is Ho & HI? 1 tail / 2 tail?Amul claims that the fat content of its low fat icecream is less than 500 mg. The ice cream will berejected if the fat content is higher. A sample istaken to verify this. What is Ho and H1. 1 tail or2 tail?
NJ Jaissy
Steps in Hypothesis Testing1. Determine what is being asked ( Do we have
one sample / 2 samples? Are they testing meanor proportion- %)
2. Determine Null Hypothesis ( Ho) & AlternateHypothesis ( H1)
3. Select a significance level ( 1% , 5% etc): area of‘rejection’ or ‘acceptance’ of Ho & determinecritical values of ‘z’ or ‘t’
4. Determine which test ( z for n > 30 and t for n<30)
5. Compute test statistic ( ‘z’ or ‘t’ test)6. Accept or reject Ho basis whether the test
statistic falls within the ‘rejection’ region or not

Testing of mean or proportion ofone sample from the population
Population Size = NMean = USD = ‘sigma’ - o
Sample Size = nMean = xSD = ‘s’ -
•A sample is taken from the population and tested because it is too expensive /too time consuming to test the full population.
•We assume the sample follows a normal distribution (n >=30) and find ‘z’ elsewe assume the sample follows a ‘T’ distribution (n<30) and find ‘t’
•We assume the sample is representative of population and therefore can usesample test results to accept or reject claims /hypothesis about population
Testing ofclaim /hypothesis
NJ Jaissy
Summary of different type of tests:a) Testing of mean ( one sample)b) Testing of proportions / % ( one sample)c) Comparison of mean ( across 2 samples)d) Comparison of proportion / % ( across 2
samples)
For each of the above, from the various ‘x’values got from the sample, we calculateeither ‘t’ or ‘z’ ( depending on sample size)and compare with Tc or Zc to accept orreject claim / Hypothesis
NJ Jaissy
If the variable in the population follows anormal distribution or if the sample is large (ie >= 30) – we assume a normal distributionfor sample & we find the value of ‘z’. This iscalled the ‘z’ – test. Population Standarddeviation IS knownNote: However, if population follows anormal distribution & if population SD is notknown but if the sample deviation is known,we assume sample follows a normaldistribution & use the ‘z’ test.
‘z’ test : Samples >= 30

Question Set 1 : Mean1. Average nation income for government
employees is Rs 18, 750. There was some doubtwhether the average national income ofgovernment employees in Trivandrum isrepresentative of the national average. Arandom sample of 100 government employeesin Trivandrum was taken and it was found thattheir average salary was Rs 19,240 with astandard deviation of Rs 2.610. At a significancelevel of alpha ‘a’ = 0.05, ( 95% confidence level)can we conclude that the average salary ofgovernment employees in Trivandrum isrepresentative of the national average?
Ho: avg = 18,750. H1 avg is not18,750. Two tailed test. Z= 1.877 which is < 1.96 so claim is accepted
NJ Jaissy
Question Set 1: Mean2. The manufacturer of light bulbs claims
that a light bulb lasts on an average 1600hours. The bulbs will be rejected if theydon’t last this long.A sample of 100bulbs was taken at random and theaverage bulb life of this sample wascomputed to be 1570 hours withstandard deviation of 120 hours. Atsignificance level, alpha ‘a’ = 0.01, test thevalidity of the manufacturer claim.Ho: avg = 1600. H1: avg <1600. One tailed test. Z = -2.5which is larger than the critical value of Zc = -2.33 so claimis rejected NJ Jaissy
Question Set 1: Mean3. An insurance company claims that it takes 2
weeks ( 14 days) on an average to process anauto accident claim. The standard deviation is 6day. To test the validity of this claim, aninvestigator randomly selected 36 people whorecently filed claims. The sample revealed that ittook the company an average of 16 days toprocess these claims. At 99% level of confidence,check if it take the company more than 14 dayson average to process a claim. ( = checkwhether company’s claim is valid)
H0 = Avg time = 14 days. H1: avg >14 days. This is a onetailed test. Z = 2 which is smaller than the critical value ofZc = 2.33 so claim is accepted NJ Jaissy
Question Set 1: Mean4. A law professor has told his students that
in Mumbai city, criminals spend an averageof 15 months in jail. A student from theclass a a part of his term project, takes arandom sample of 35 such cases from thecourt files. His study showed that theaverage of this sample was 13.8 months injail with a standard deviation of 4.2 months.At alpha ‘a’ = 0.05, should the studentaccept the professors claim that theaverage jail time of convicted criminals isindeed 15 months?
Ho: avg time = 15 mths. H1: avg time not = 15 mths. Two tailed test.Z = -1.69 which is < than Z @ 0.05 significance level = 1.96 so wehave to accept the claim NJ Jaissy
Testing of PROPORTIONSHere instead of mean of the population, we aretesting some proportion or % of the population.Let population proportion of success = pLet sample proportion of success = p^Let sample size = n
Then the Z statistic = p^ - p
Where standard deviation of proportion of success=
p q / n
p q / n
Once we compute ‘Z’we compare withcritical value Zc andaccept or reject claim

Question Set 1: ProportionsThe mayor of a city claims that 60% of thepeople of the city follow him and supporthis policies. We think less people followhim & want to test whether his claim isvalid or not. A random sample of 400persons was taken and it was found that220 of these people supported the mayor.At the level of significance ‘alpha’ = 0.01,what can we conclude about the mayor’sclaim.
One tailed test. Ho: P =0.6 H1: P< 0.6. P^ = 0.55, Z = -2.04 whichis less than Zc = -2.33. So we have to accept the null Hypothesis
NJ Jaissy
Question Set 1: Proportions:5. In a psychology class, a professor read a
report that noted that 30% of all womenare afraid of flying. A student was giventhe project to take a sample and test ifthe report was correct. The studenttook a random sample of 150 womenand found that 50 of these women wereafraid of flying. At alpha ‘a’ = 0.05, test ifthe sample results verify the reportedfigures.
Two tailed test. Ho: P = 0.3, P^ = 0.33. Z = 0.81 which is less than theZc = 1.96 so we accept the claim

Confidence interval
Confidence level = 1 – significance level
Ie if Significance level = 5%, thenconfidence level = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95 = 95%
Confidence level = the area where thenull hypothesis will be accepted ie wherewe are confident that the null hypothesisis correct & will be accepted

‘t’ test for comparing the differencebetween 2 samplesThis is similar to finding the difference in meanbetween 2 samples – except that we’re notbothered with the values of x1 and x2 but with justthe ‘difference’ or deltaThis is used when the two samples are dependent (i.e sample 2 depends on sample 1)E.g: if sample 1 is the weight of 10 people before adiet and sample 2 is after the diet – the sampleresults are not independent. If the diet has worked,sample 2 results will be < sample 1 results.Here we are concerned with the differencebetween the 2 samples instead of the value of theobservations
