Assignment 6 - Hypothesis testing

Use the following 3 steps to solve any hypothesis testing problem:

1. Formulate 4 statements of hypotheses from the data file we used in previous assignments
(2 for differences, and 2 for relationship) by choosing any of the variable/s. You can choose
more than one variable.

Ex. You want to know if there is significant difference in the hourly rate between male and
female.

Null: There is no significant difference between the hourly rate of male and female.
µmale = µfemale
Alternative: There is significant difference between the hourly rate of male and female.
µmale ≠ µfemale
A. Is there a significant relationship between age and monthly Income?

Ho: There is no significant relationship between age and monthly Income.

H1: There is a significant relationship between age and monthly Income.

B. Is there a significant relationship between Daily rate and Job Satisfaction?

Ho: There is no significant relationship between the two variables.

H1: There is a significant relationship between the two variables

C. Is there a significant difference in the daily rate between male and females?

Ho: There is no significant difference between the daily rate of male and females.
H1: There is a significant difference between the daily rate of male and females.

D. Is there a significant difference in Job Satisfaction between male and female.

 Ho: There is no significant difference between Job Satisfaction of male and female.
H1: There is a significant difference between Job Satisfaction of male and female

2. Identify appropriate testing procedure to be used for each hypothesis and justify why
you have chosen it. Assume a normally distributed data.

Correlation testing is the method used to compare A and B. In order to determine whether there is
a meaningful correlation between the two variables, we use Pearson correlation. It determines how
strongly two variables are correlated linear. It ranges from -1 to 1, with -1 denoting a completely
negative linear correlation, 0 denoting no correlation, and +1 denoting a completely positive linear
correlation.C and D were tested using an Independent Sample t-test. It is done both because it is
presumed that the data is normally distributed and because we want to know if the means of male
and female are significantly different.

3. Identify whether it is two-tailed, right-tailed, left-tailed, and why?

Because we are testing both sides, the alternative hypothesis does not specify a direction, and
the statement does not increase or decrease. We conclude that, all of the hypotheses are two-
tailed.
