Statistic Assignment #1

1. The document summarizes a statistical analysis comparing the average weights of rice from two mills. 2. It tests the null hypothesis that the means are equal versus the alternative that they are unequal, at a 0.05 significance level. 3. Based on a z-score of -0.962 and p-value of 0.1664, there is no evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the average weight is 50kg.

1. State the null and the alternative hypothesis for a two-tailed test.
Ho: m= μ μ := 50
Hi: m≠ μ
Χ := 46.60
2. Define the significance level, the population standard deviation, and the proposed population
mean.

α := 0.05
σ := 5
n := 2

3. Calculate the z-score.

( Χ - μ)
z :=
σ
n

z = -0.962

4. Calculate the p-value and test the hypothesis.


In this example, all of the Boolean expressions evaluate to 1 when the null hypothesis is true
(you do not reject H0).

Ρ := 2 ( 1 - pnorm( z , 0 , 1 ) )

Ρ = 1.664
Ρ<α
There is a 0.01664 probability that the test statistic is greater than the one observed, assuming
that the null hypothesis is true. The comparison between the p-value and the significance level
indicates there is no evidence that the alternative hypothesis is true..

5. Calculate the limits of the critical region and test the hypothesis.

crit := qnorm , 0 , 1


α
2 

crit = 1.96 and -1.96

z < crit

accept the null hypothesis. There is evidence that the mean is equal to μ.
6. Plot the standard normal distribution (red), the boundaries of the critical region (blue) , and the
z-score (green).

normal( q ) := dnorm( q , 0 , 1 ) x := -1.96 x := -0.962

This means, that the claim of the rice miller that the average weight of a cavan of rice is 50 kgs.
is true.
1. State the null and the alternative hypothesis for a two-tailed test.
Ho: μ1= μ2
Hi: μ1≠ μ2

2. Define the significance level, the population standard deviation, and the proposed population
mean.

(σ1) + (σ2)

z = 1.139

4. Calculate the p-value and test the hypothesis.


In this example, all of the Boolean expressions evaluate to 1 when the null hypothesis is true
(you do not reject H0).

Calculate the test statistic.

t :=

s

t = 0.507

Ρ := 2 ( 1 - pt( t , υ) )

Ρ = 0.626

Ρ<α

There is a 0.00626 probability that the test statistic is greater than the one observed, assuming
that the null hypothesis is true. The comparison between the p-value and the significance level
indicates there is no evidence that the alternative hypothesis is true.

5. Calculate the limits of the critical region and test the hypothesis.

crit := qt , υ

crit = 2.306 and -2.306

z < crit

accept the null hypothesis. There is evidence that the mean is equal to μ.

6. Plot the standard normal distribution (red), the boundaries of the critical region (blue) , and the
z-score (green).

normal( q ) := dnorm( q , 0 , 1 ) x := 2.306 x := 1.139

This means, There is no significant difference between the performance of teachers between
