ANOVA
![Page 11: 8.19 16 25 177 - 170 165 7 = 3.2 7 == 2.188 Critical Value = 1.64 X = 177 = 170 S = 16 N = 25 Z =](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d635503460f94a468bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Analysis of Variance
• Allows the statistician to analyze multiple data sets.
• Number of combinations to be made take two groups at a time– N(N-1)/2
• If individual z tests were performed on each combination of a large number of groups the number of calculations would be prohibitive.
![Page 12: 8.19 16 25 177 - 170 165 7 = 3.2 7 == 2.188 Critical Value = 1.64 X = 177 = 170 S = 16 N = 25 Z =](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d635503460f94a468bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assumptions underlying the use of ANOVA
1. The individuals in the various subgroups should be selected on the basis of random sampling from normally distributed populations.
2. The variance of the subgroups should be homogeneous. (H0: s1 = s2 = … = sn)
3. The samples comprising the groups should be independent.

OUTLINE
11.1 INFERENCES WITH QUALITATIVE DATA
Discusses the problem of inference in qualitative data
11.2 MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Explains how to compute a mean and a standard deviation for the binomial distribution
11.3 APPROXIMATION OF THE NORMAL TO THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Shows that, using the normal approximation it is possible to compute a Z score for a number of successes
11.4 TEST OF SIGNIFICANCE OF A BINOMIAL PROPORTION
Gives instructions on how to test hypothesis regarding proportions if the distribution of the proportion of successes is known
11.5 TEST OF SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
Illustrates that, because the difference between two proportions is approximately normally distributed, a hypothesis test for the difference may be easily set up

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
•
• 1. Compute the mean and the standard deviation of a binomial distribution
• 2. Compute Z scores for specific points on a binomial distribution
• 3. Perform significance tests of a binomial proportion and of the difference between two binomial proportions
• 4. Calculate confidence intervals for a binomial proportion and for the difference between two proportions
•

INFERENCES WITH QUALITATIVE DATA
• • A. Qualitative data – data for which individual quantitative measurements are not
available but that relate to the presence or absence of some characteristic
• B. p the estimate of the true proportion, , of individuals who possess a certain characteristic
• C. To best understand the difference between the distribution of binomial events (x) and the distribution of binomial proportion (p)
– 1. Compare these distributions with those in the approximate analogous quantitative situation
– 2. The x’s of a binomial distribution with a mean and a standard error
•

MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF THE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
A. Probability of x successful outcomes in n independent trials is given by:•
– 1.

TEST OF SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
• • A. In order to compare proportions from two different samples we must:
– 1. assume that the proportions are equal, that is, in estimating
– 2. learn if , the proportion with the given characteristic in one sample differs significantly from , the proportion with the same characteristic in the second
sample
• B. Three thing that must be know to determine if the proportions are significantly different
– 1. the distribution of the differences -
– 2. the mean -
– 3. the standard error of this distribution – (SE)

CONCLUSION
The normal approximation to the binomial distribution is a useful statistical tool. It helps answer questions regarding qualitative data involving proportions where individuals are classified into two categories. With an understanding of the distribution of the binomial proportion p and of the distribution of the difference between two proportions we can perform tests of significance and calculate confidence intervals.
