Learning Objectives
In this chapter, you learn how to use hypothesis testing for comparing the difference between:
The means of two independent populations The means of two related populations The proportions of two independent populations The variances of two independent populations by
testing the ratio of the two variances

Difference Between Two Means
Population means, independent

Goal: Test hypothesis or form a confidence interval for the difference between two population means, μ1 – μ2

Use Sp to estimate unknown σ. Use a Pooled-Variance t test.

Use S1 and S2 to estimate unknown σ1 and σ2. Use a Separate-Variance t test.

Pooled-Variance t Test Example
You are a financial analyst for a brokerage firm. Is there a difference in dividend yield between stocks listed on the NYSE & NASDAQ? You collect the following data:
NYSE NASDAQNumber 21 25Sample mean 3.27 2.53Sample std dev 1.30 1.16
Assuming both populations are approximately normal with equal variances, isthere a difference in meanyield ( = 0.05)?

Conclusion:
There is insufficient evidence of a difference in variances at = .05 because:
F statistic =1.256 < 2.327 Fα/2
or
p-value = 0.589 > 0.05 = α.
