6.6: Small-sample inference for a proportion
7.1: Large sample comparisons for twoindependent sample means.

So far, we have been making estimates andinferences about a single sample statistic
Now, we will begin making estimates andinferences for two sample statistics at once.
many real-life problems involve such comparisons two-group problems often serve as a starting point for
more involved statistics, as we shall see in this class.

Two independent random samples:
Two subsamples, each with a mean score for some othervariable
example: Comparisons of work hours by race or sex example : Comparison of earnings by marital status
Two dependent random samples : Two observations are being compared for each unit in
the sample example: before-and-after measurements of the same
person at two time points example: earnings before and after marriage husband-wife differen ces

Hypothesis testing as we have done it so far:
Test statistic: z = (Y bar - o) / ( s / SQRT( n))
What can we do when we make inferences about adifference between population means ( 2 - 1)? Treat one sample mean as if it were o ?
(NO: too much type I error) Calculate a confidence interval for each sample mean
and see if they overlap?

Is Y 2 Y1an appropriate way to evaluate 2 - 1?
Answer: Yes. We can appropriately define ( 2 - 1) as a
parameter of interest and estimate it in an unbiased waywith (Y 2 Y1) just as we would estimate with Y.
This line of argument may seem trivial, but it becomes
important when we work with variance and standarddeviations.

Comparing standard errors: A&F 213: formula without derivation
Is s 2Ybar2 - s 2Ybar1 an appropriate way to estimate2(Ybar2-Ybar1) ?
No!
2(Ybar2-Ybar1) = 2(Ybar2) - 2 (Ybar2,Ybar1) + 2(Ybar1)
Where 2 (Ybar2,Ybar1) reflects how much the observationsfor the two groups are dependent.
For independent groups, 2 (Ybar2,Ybar1) = 0,so 2(Ybar2-Ybar1) = 2(Ybar2) + 2(Ybar1)

The parameter of interest is 2 - 1
Assumptions: the sample is drawn from a random sample of some sort,
the parameter of interest is a variable with an intervalscale,
the sample size is large enough that the samplingdistribution of Y bar2 Ybar1 is approximately normal.
The two samples are drawn independently

The null hypothesis will be that there is nodifference between the population means. Thismeans that any difference we observe is due torandom chance.
Ho: 2 - 1 = 0 (We can specify an alpha level now if we want)
Q: Would it matter if we used
Ho: 1 - 2 = 0 ?
Ho: 1 = 2 ?

The test statistic has a standard form: z = (estimate of parameter Ho value of parameter)
standard error of parameter
Q: If the null hypothesis is that the means are thesame, why do we estimate two different standard
deviations? 10

Do women spend more time on housework thanmen?
Data from the 1988 National Survey of Familiesand Households: sex sample size mean hours s.d men 4252 18.1 12.9 women 6764 32.6 18.2

housework example with 99% interval:c.i.= (32.6 18.1) +/- 2.58*( ((12.9) 2/4252 + (18.2) 2/6764))
= 14.5 +/- 2.58*.30= 14.5 +/- .8, or (13.7,15.3)
By this analysis, the 99% confidence interval for thedifference in housew ork is 13.7 to 15.3 hours.

The test statistic has a standard form:z = (estimate of parameter Ho value of parameter)
standard error of parameter
Where pi hat is the overall weighted average
This means we are assuming equal variance in the twopopulations. Q: why do we use an assumption of equal variance to
estimate the standard error for the t-test?
