2-tailed exH0: µ= 100H1: µ ≠ 100α = 0.05
Left tail exH0: µ = 200H1: µ < 200α = 0.05
Right tail exH0: µ = 50H1: µ > 50α = 0.05
Should you use a 2 tail, or a right, or left tail test?
• Test whether the average in the bag of numbers is or isn’t 100.
• Test if a drug had any effect on heartrate.• Test if a tutor helped the class do better on the
next test.• Test if a drug improved elevated cholesterol.
2-tailed exH0: µ= __H1: µ ≠ __

Type I and Type II error
Probabilities associated with error
Example #1- numbers in a bag• Recall that I claimed that my bag of numbers
had a mean µ = 100 and a standard deviation =21.9. Test this hypothesis if your sample size n= 20 and your sample mean x-bar was 90.
Ex #1- Hypothesis Test for numbers in a bag1. H0: µ = 100
H1: µ ≠ 100
α = 0.05
2. Z = =
3. P-value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant
at level αIf p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Ex #2– new sample mean for numbers in a bag
• If the sample mean is 95, redo the test:1. H0: µ = 100
H1: µ ≠ 100
α = 0.05
2. Z = =
3. P-value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant at level α
If p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Ex #3: Left tail test- cholesterol
• A group has a mean cholesterol of 220. The data is normally distributed with σ= 15
• After a new drug is used, test the claim that it lowers cholesterol.
• Data: n=30, sample mean= 214.
Ex #3- cholesterol- test1. H0: µ 220 (fill in the correct hypotheses here)
H1: µ 220
α = 0.05
2. Z = =
3. P-value and/or critical value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant at level α
If p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Ex #4- right tail- tutor
• Scores in a MATH117 class have been normally distributed, with a mean of 60 all semester. The teacher believes that a tutor would help. After a few weeks with the tutor, a sample of 35 students’ scores is taken. The sample mean is now 62. Assume a population standard deviation of 5. Has the tutor had a positive effect?
Ex #4: tutor1. H0: µ 60 (fill in the correct hypotheses here)
H1: µ 60
α = 0.05
2. Z = =
3. P-value and/or critical value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant at level α
If p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
9.2– t tests
• Just like with confidence intervals, if we do not know the population standard deviation, we– substitute it with s (the sample standard
deviation) and– Run a t test instead of a z test
Ex #5– t test – placement scores
• The placement director states that the average placement score is 75. Based on the following data, test this claim.
• Data: 42 88 99 51 57 78 92 46 57
Ex #5 t test – placement scores
• 1. H0: µ 75 fill in the correct hypothesis hereH1: µ 75α = 0.05
2. t = =
3. P-value and/or critical value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say the data are significant at level αIf p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Ex #6- placement scores
• The head of the tutoring department claims that the average placement score is below 80. Based on the following data, test this claim.
• Data: 42 88 99 51 57 78 92 46 57
Ex #6– t example
• 1. H0: µ 80 (fill in the correct hypotheses here)
H1: µ 80α = 0.05
2. t = =
3. P-value and/or critical value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant at
level αIf p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Ex #7- salaries– t
• A national study shows that nurses earn $40,000. A career director claims that salaries in her town are higher than the national average. A sample provides the following data:
• 41,000 42,500 39,000 39,999• 43,000 43,550 44,200
Ex #7- salaries
• 1. H0: µ 40000 (fill in the correct hypotheses here)
H1: µ 40000α = 0.05
2. t = =
3. P-value and/or critical value
4. Test conclusionIf p-value ≤ α, we reject H0 and say that the data are significant at
level αIf p-value > α, we do not reject H0
5. Interpretation of test results
Traditional Critical Value Approach
• Redo Example #1• Recall that I claimed that my bag of numbers
had a mean µ = 100 and a standard deviation =21.9. Test this hypothesis if your sample size n= 20 and your sample mean x-bar was 90.

• After a new drug is used, test the claim that it lowers cholesterol.

• The HR director at a large corporation estimates that 75% of employees enjoy their jobs. From a sample of 200 people, 142 answer that they do. Test the HR director’s claim.

Ex #9
• Previous studies show that 29% of eligible voters vote in the mid-terms. News pundits estimate that turnout will be lower than usual. A random sample of 800 adults reveals that 200 planned to vote in the mid-term elections. At the 1% level, test the news pundits’ predictions.
