Practical No: 7 STATEMENT: Two Different Types of Drugs D: X X S N N

The document describes an experiment that tested the effectiveness of two drugs (D1 and D2) at increasing patient weight over time. Drug D1 had a mean weight increase of 9 and Drug D2 had a mean of 10.75. A t-test was conducted to determine if Drug D2 was more effective at the 1% significance level. The t-test resulted in a calculated t-value of 1.208, which is less than the critical t-value of 2.624. Therefore, the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the drugs was accepted. It was concluded that there is no significant difference in effectiveness between the two drugs.

Practical No: 7

STATEMENT: Two different types of drugs D1 and D2 were applied on a certain


patients for increasing the weight at interval of one week time period. From the
following observation, Can you conclude that the second drug is more effective in
increasing weight, use 1% level of significance?

WORKING EXPRESSIONS:
Since, there are two samples given and we have n< 30 so we use double mean.

1. Hypothesis Formulation
a. Null Hypothesis, H0: µ1=µ2 (There is no significant difference between the two drugs.
b. Alternative Hypothesis, H1: µ1<µ2 (The second drug is more effective in increasing
weight.)

2. Test statistics under Ho:


((n1 -1)×s 2 + (n 2 -1 )×s 2 )
1 2

Pooled Variance (Sp2) = n1 +n 2−2

3. Level of significance: α is the level of significance. Here, it is 0.01.

4. Degree of Freedom(df) : n1 + n2 – 2

5. Critical Value: Critical or tabulated value of t is obtained from the table according to the level
of significance, degree of freedom and alternative hypothesis.
6. Decision: Based of critical value, the null hypothesis is rejected if |tcal|>|ttab|, otherwise accepted.
7. Conclusion: Draw suitable conclusion as per the decision taken above.

Critical Value t(α,df ) 2.624494068


Decision We accept H0

RESULT: Hence, from above hypothesis setting in MS Excel, it is found that the null
hypothesis is to be accepted.

CONCLUSION: In this way, it is concluded that there is no significant difference between two
drugs.
