# Mechanics of a hypothesis test (review)

1. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses in words and notation.
• In words: The population mean for [what is being studied] is different from [value of $$\mu_0$$].’’ (Note that the statement in words is in terms of the alternative hypothesis.)
• In notation: $$H_0: \mu=\mu_0$$ versus $$H_A: \mu \ne \mu_0$$ (where $$\mu_0$$ is specified by the context of the problem).
2. Choose the significance level of the test, such as $$\alpha=0.05$$.

3. Compute the test statistic, such as $$t_{s} = \frac{\bar{Y}-\mu_0}{SE_{\bar{Y}}}$$, where $$SE_{\bar{Y}}=s/\sqrt{n}$$ is the standard error.

4. Determine the tail(s) of the sampling distribution where the $$p$$-value from the test statistic will be calculated (for example, both tails, right tail, or left tail). (Historically, we would compare the observed test statistic, $$t_{s}$$, with the critical value $$t_{\textrm{crit}}=t_{\alpha/2}$$ in the direction of the alternative hypothesis from the $$t$$-distribution table with degrees of freedom $$df = n-1$$.)

5. State the conclusion in terms of the problem.
• Reject $$H_0$$ in favor of $$H_A$$ if $$p\textrm{-value} < \alpha$$.
• Fail to reject $$H_0$$ if $$p\textrm{-value} \ge \alpha$$. (Note: We DO NOT accept $$H_0$$.)
6. Check assumptions of the test (for now we skip this).

## Mean: Height data for the ADA1 F16 class

Is the population mean height of UNM students eligible to take Stat 427/527 different from the US average for men (5 ft 9 1/2 in) or women (5 ft 4 in)?

### Conduct the hypothesis tests

# look at help for t.test
# ?t.test
# defaults include: alternative = "two.sided", conf.level = 0.95

### Test female height equal to US (illustrative example).

Hypothesis test

1. The population mean height for females at UNM eligible to take Stat 427/527 is different from the US population value of $$\mu_0=64$$ inches.’’
• $$H_0: \mu=64$$ versus $$H_A: \mu \ne 64$$
2. Let $$\alpha=0.05$$, the significance level of the test and the Type-I error probability if the null hypothesis is true.

3. $$t_{s} = 3.201$$.

4. $$p=0.00282$$, this is the observed significance of the test.

5. Because $$p=0.00282 < 0.05$$, we have sufficient evidence to reject $$H_0$$, concluding that the observed mean height is different than the US population mean.

### Test male height greater than US (your turn).

1. (3 p) As above, set up the hypothesis test for males, but whether UNM males are taller on average than the US population.

## t = 159.82, df = 45, p-value < 2.2e-16

## 95 percent confidence interval:

## Means: African countries in the UN example

Previously in class we collected data using a randomized experiment. We provided a priming number (X = 10 or 65, not actually a random number) then asked you two questions:

1. Do you think the percentage of countries represented in the United Nations that are from Africa is higher or lower than X?

2. Give your best estimate of the percentage of countries represented in the United Nations that are from Africa.

The data were compiled into a google doc which we read in below.
