Lecture 6 - Inferential Statistics With Two Samples

This document discusses statistical inferences about differences between two population means. It covers inferences when population standard deviations are known and unknown, as well as for matched samples. Examples illustrate hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for comparing two means.

Interval Estimation of μ1 – μ2 when

Example

Example: Par, Inc.

Par, Inc. is a manufacturer of golf equipment and has developed


a new golf ball that has been designed to provide “extra
distance.”

In a test of driving distance using a mechanical driving device, a


sample of Par golf balls was compared with a sample of golf
balls made by Rap, Ltd., a competitor. The sample statistics
appear on the next slide.

Hypothesis Tests About μ1 – μ2
when σ1 and σ2 are Known
Example: Par, Inc.

Can we conclude, using α = 0.01, that the mean driving


distance of Par, Inc. golf balls is greater than the mean
driving distance of Rap, Ltd. golf balls?

performances of the two models of automobile.

Inferences About the Difference
Between Two Population Means:
Matched Samples
• With a matched-sample design, each sampled item
provides a pair of data values.
• This design often leads to a smaller sampling error than
the independent-sample design because variation
between sampled items is eliminated as a source of
sampling error.
Example

Example: Express Deliveries


A Chicago-based firm has documents that must be quickly distributed
to district offices throughout the U.S. The firm must decide between
two delivery services, UPX (United Parcel Express) and INTEX
(International Express), to transport its documents.

In testing the delivery times of the two services, the firm sent two
reports to a random sample of its district offices with one report carried
by UPX and the other report carried by INTEX. Do the data on the next
slide indicate a difference in mean delivery times for the two services?
Use a 0.05 level of significance.
