INTRODUCTION

 A PAIRED T TEST IS USED WHEN THE COMPARISONS ARE BASED ON MATCHED

PAIRS.
 A PAIRED T TEST IS WHERE YOU RUN A T TEST ON DEPENDENT SAMPLES. THAT IS
THEY ARE TESTS ON THE SAME PERSON OR THING.
EXAMPLE:
 KNEE MRI COSTS AT TWO DIFFERENT HOSPITALS
 TWO TESTS ON THE SAME PERSON BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING
 TWO BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS ON THE SAME PERSON USING
DIFFERENT DEVICES

 IN THE APPLICATION OF THE TWO SAMPLE T TEST WE NEED TO WATCH THAT THE
SAMPLES ARE INDEPENDENT FOR INSTANCE, THE TEST CANNOT BE USED WHEN
WE DEAL WITH “BEFORE AND AFTER” DATA AND NUMEROUS OTHER KINDS OF
SITUATIONS WHERE THE DATAS ARE NATURALLY PAIRED.
METHODS

STEP 1 – FORMULATE H0 AND H1

STEP 2 – SPECIFY α AND SPECIFY CRITERION TO REJECT H0

STEP 3 – CALCULATE TEST STATISTICS T =

STEP 4 – DECISION
FORMULAS
PROBLEM 1:
 SOLUTION:

GIVEN DATA : n = 10 ; α = 0.05

STEP 1 : μD = μ1 - μ2
NULL HYPOTHESIS, H0 :
ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H1 :
STEP 2 : DEGREE OF FREEDOM = n – 1 ; THAT IS 10 – 1 = 9 ; FOR 9 AT LOS 0.05
THE Tα = 1.833
STEP 3 : DIFFERENCE :
THE DIFFERENCES ARE 9,13,2,5,-2,6,6,5,2,6
MEAN = 5.2
STANDARD DEVIATION = 4.08
NOW CALCULATE TEST STATISTIC T =
 SOLUTION:

STEP 4 : SINCE T = 4.03 EXCEEDS 1.833 NULL HYPOTHESIS IS REJECTED, SO

WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT INDUSTRIAL SAFETY PROGRAM IS
EFFECTIVE

90% CONFIDENCE INTERVAL

SO, THE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL IS : 2.8 < μD < 7.7

PROBLEM 2:
 SOLUTION:

GIVEN DATA : n = 12 ; α = 0.05

STEP 1 : μD = μ1 - μ2
NULL HYPOTHESIS, H0 :
ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS, H1 :
STEP 2 : DEGREE OF FREEDOM = n – 1 ;THAT IS 12 – 1 = 11 ; FOR 11 AT LOS 0.05
THE Tα = 1.796
STEP 3 : DIFFERENCE :
THE DIFFERENCES ARE 0.1,-0.2,0.4,0.1,-0.1,0.1,0,0.2,0.5,0.2,0.1,0.3
MEAN = 0.14
STANDARD DEVIATION = 0.2
NOW CALCULATE TEST STATISTIC T = 0.14 – 0 = 2.48
0.2
 SOLUTION:

STEP 4 : SINCE T = 2.48 EXCEEDS 1.796 NULL HYPOTHESIS IS REJECTED, SO

WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT CARS EQUIPPED WITH RADIAL TIRES GIVE
BETTER FUEL ECONOMY THAN THOSE EQUIPPED WITH BELTED
TIRES
