One sample Z-test
Local citizens have been concerned that the reading program in the public schools may be
inferior . The superintendent hires you to conduct an experiment to investigate. You set a =
0.05 (alpha level) for making your decision. You compare the reading level of current high
school seniors to national reading proficient norms which are normally distributed with M =
75 and SD = 16. You administer the reading test to 100 randomly selected high school
seniors in your city. The obtained mean of the sample = 72. What is your conclusion?

The results are not significantly different. Z(100)=-1.875, p>.05 However, at .060 it’s awful
close to being significantly
different!
One sample T-tests
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the western world, despite the
fact that US teens are not more sexually active than Swedish teens, Canadian teens, or
British teens.
The mean teenage pregnancy rate in the US is 11.85%
The rates for states in the this area

( based on survey of 15-19 year olds)
Arkansas 17.28%
Mississippi 18.75
Louisiana 17.05%
Texas 15.25%
HO: There is no significant difference in the pregnancy rate of the states of

Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas compared to the rest of the
nation
HA: There is no significant difference in the mean teenage pregnancy rate of

the four states sample and the US average.
Other Alternative hypothesis are of course possible.

Open a spread sheet
Put the date into column

title it “teen”

matter it’s just significantly
different.
Ha: µ > µ0 My sample is
greater, bigger, etc. than the
national mean
Ha: µ < µ0 My sample is less

These results would
be reported as

Arkansas,
Mississippi,
Louisiana and
Texas compared to

nation was 11.85 and
for the four states in
question the average

However, if you are given the mean for the data the procedure is different
The average age of mothers in the US when they give birth to their first child is 25.1.
x = 2.6. The average age of a sample of 200 women from the Arkansas Delta
region is
21.7.
Our hypothesis is: Ha: The age of mothers giving birth to their first child is significantly
lower in the Delta region of Arkansas than the national average of the sample is

Two Independent Sample T-Test
This t-test is used when you have two separate sample that you are comparing. (They do not
have to be the same size.) Ie. Rainfall in one city to rainfall in another, female scores on a self-

Since it seems logical that
Honolulu has a higher
average than Little Rock
choose 1 < 2
If the two standard deviations are

similar (neither is more than twice of

Scroll down and

you find the
means and
Honolulu’s mean
= 77.25 while
Little Rock’s mean
temperature =
63.25
Wriitten this way There was a significant difference(p <.002) in th eaverage

temperatures of Little Rock and Honolulu, t(22) = -1.1841, p <.002( s=
3.2) with Honolulu mean temperature being 77.25 and Little Rocks
mean = 63.25 (s = 14.65)
It was said earlier to used pooled unless one standard deviation and more than 2 times
which in this case it is. Repeat the statistic usign “non-pooled) The result change only
slightly. t(12.8) = 3.23, p <.004

want to know if subjects have more

anxiety after they watch a slasher

Anova
Doing an ANOVA on the TI is amazing simple if you have been doing t-tests
You wish to determine if College status (Fr, Soph, Jr, Sr) affects the number of time in a
month that a male student “goes out”
“Goes out” is defined as leaving the dorm for reason other than going home, to eat in the
cafeteria, to class, to chapel, business, checking mail, or study. Dating, cruising, hanging
out with the “guys”/"girls" would all be considered “going out
A sample was taken and the number of times during the school week (Mon to Fri) for 24
students over a 9-week period are given in the following table.

There are an average of 35 peanut M & Ms in each package and there are 6 colors
35/6 =5.8
2. A known statistic you are comparing your results to./ ie. We compare the
number of M&M’s, by color, in a sample of bags to the number of each
