Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods are two of the best golfers to ever play
the game. To show how these two golfers would compare if both were playing at
the top of their game, the following sample data provide the results of 18-hole
scores during a PGA tournament competition. Palmers scores are from his 1960
season, while Woodsscores are from his 1999 season (Golf Magazine, February
2000).
Palmer, 1960
n = 112

Woods, 1999
n = 84

x =69.95

x = 69.56

Use the sample results to test the hypothesis of no difference between the
population mean 18-hole scores for the two golfers.
a. Assume a population standard deviation of 2.5 for both golfers. What is
the value of the test statistic?
b. What is the p-value?
c. At = 0.01, what is your conclusion?

Jawab:
Diket: Palmer, 1960
n = 112

n = 84

= 69.95

= 0.01

Dit:

Woods, 1999

= 2,5

a. Nilai uji statistic?

b. p-value?
c. = 0.01 , apa kesimpulannya?

Z =1,0808

Jadi nilai uji statistikanya adalah 1,0808

b. Z = 1,0808 ; dilihat dari table distribusi normal

Ztabel = 0,8599
1 0,8599
0,14101
Karena uji . Maka
p-value = 2 . (0,1401)
= 0,2802

c.karena tingkat signifikan ( ) = 0,01 kurang dari p-value = 0,1401, maka

H diterima
