the claim, a researcher selects a sample of 30 hotel rooms and finds that the average
cost is $68.43. The population standard deviation is $3.72. Test the above claim
using =.05. Assume population normal.

IMPORTANT SUMMARY OF THE 3 CASES in Before/After Hypothesis Tests

In a before/after test, this two-sample test reduces to a one-sample t test on
the differences. There are 3 cases explained below.
L1 = before data
L2 = after data

1) Test the claim that the number of errors has been increased.
For ex: before 7 and after 9. L3= L2 – L1 =after – before = 9 – 7 = +2 positive or > 0
Claim greater than zero
Claim: >0. (The mean of the differences greater than zero)

OR———————–
L3 = L1 – L2= before – after = 7 – 9 = -2 negative or < 0
Claim less than zero
Claim: <0 (The mean of the differences less than zero.)

2) Test the claim that the number of errors has been reduced.
For ex: before 9 and after 7. L3= L2 – L1 =after – before = 7 – 9 = -2 negative or < 0
Claim less than zero
Claim: <0 (The mean of the differences less than zero.)

OR———————–
L3 = L1 – L2= before – after=9 – 7 = + 2 positive or > 0
Claim greater than zero
Claim: >0. (The mean of the differences greater than zero)

3) Test the claim that the number of errors is the same before vs. after.
ex: before 9 and after 9. L3= L2 – L1 =after – before = L3 = L1 – L2= before – after=
9 – 9 = 0
Claim equals zero
Claim: = 0. (The mean of the differences equals zero.)

NOTE: To construct a confidence interval for the above, simply use TInterval
with the above data.

IMPORTANT: The population correlation coefficient ”rho” and the population

to zero as well. When the slope of a line is zero, we have a horizontal line and

the correlation is zero as well.

Predictions
Since there is significant linear correlation between number of personal fouls and
the number of total points, we can use the regression equation for predictions.

12.1 GOODNESS of FIT TEST
1) Under TESTS, check to see if your calculator has the Chi-Square GOF Test already. My
TI84 Plus C has this test under TESTS, option D: Chi-Square GOF TEST (best option)

2) If you do not have this test, you can either:

– follow my handout on the GOF PROGRAM from Canvas. (recommended)
– follow the directions below for the “long way”

————————————————————————————————————
Ex) Mars Inc. claims that it’s M&M candies are distributed with the color
percentages of 30% brown, 20% yellow, 20% red, 10% orange, 10% green, and
10% blue. A classroom exercise resulted in the observed frequencies listed below.
At the .05 level, test the claim that the color distribution is as claimed by Mars Inc.
Assume populations are normal.

Claim= Ho: The distribution is as stated above.
H1: The distribution differs from the claimed distribution.
L1 L2 L3

Enter the observed frequencies in List 1 and the experimental probabilities in List 2
to figure out the exp f (expected frequency) column Recall E = np

To generate List 3:

= sum( [ENTER]

Note: the SUM command is from 2ND STAT à à MATH and choose 5)SUM

Using the Chi-Square GOF Test, enter data in L1 and L2, and generate L3 as
explained above. You do not need L4.

Ex) Mars Inc. claims that it’s M&M candies are distributed with the same frequency.
The colors are: Brown, yellow, red, orange, green, and blue. A classroom exercise
resulted in the observed frequencies listed below. At the .05 significance level, test
the claim that the color distribution is as claimed by Mars Inc. Assume populations
are normal.

WE ARE ASKED TO TEST THE CLAIM THAT THE COLORS OCCUR WITH THE SAME
FREQUENCY. SINCE WE HAVE 6 COLORS, EACH MUST OCCUR 1 DIVIDED BY 6
or .1667.

Claim= Ho: The distribution is as stated above.
H1: The distribution differs from the claimed distribution.

Enter the observed frequencies in List 1 and the experimental probabilities in List 2
To figure out the exp f (expected frequency) column Recall E = np

To generate List 3: = sum( [ENTER]

Continue the problem either using the Chi-Square GOF Test or GOF Program or the
“long way” as explained in the last example.

Chi-Square TS = 30.48
P value = 1.18E-5 < alpha = .05
Reject Ho
There is enough evidence to reject the claim.
H1 is true.
———————————————————————————————————–
NOTE: For some of the problems at ALEKS, you are given the Observed Frequencies
(L1) and the Expected Frequencies (L3). In my notes, we are given the Observed
Frequencies (L1) and the Expected Probabilities (L2), and then we calculate the
Expected Frequencies (L3). For problems like these at ALEKS, put the Observed
Frequencies in L1 and the Expected Frequencies in L3 and nothing in L2.

12.2 TESTS OF INDEPENDENCE

Ex) Responses to a survey question are broken down according to employment and
the sample results are given below. At the.10 significance level, test the claim that
the response and employment status are independent. Assume populations are
normal.

Claim=Ho: Response and employment status are independent.
H1: Response and employment status are dependent.

14.1 One Way ANOVA: Testing claims about 3 or more population
means.

Ex) At the .05 significance level, test the claim that the mean distance traveled by
each type of golf ball is the same. Assume populations are normal.

Note other ways of stating the alternative hypothesis:

H1: At least one mean is different from the others.
H1: Means are not all equal.
