Write The Given Step 4: Critical Region: Z-Test

1. The document discusses the steps to conduct a hypothesis test, including stating the null and alternative hypotheses, determining the level of significance, computing the test statistic, finding the critical region, and making a statistical decision. 2. It explains the differences between a one-tailed test and a two-tailed test. A one-tailed test looks at one side of the distribution, while a two-tailed test looks at both sides. 3. The key aspects are setting up the hypotheses, computing the appropriate test statistic (z-test or t-test), determining the critical region based on the significance level and degrees of freedom, and either rejecting or failing to reject the null hypothesis.

WRITE THE GIVEN Step 4: Critical Region


STANDARD DEVIATION TWO-TAILED TEST AND Z-TEST
SD from population = z-test ×−µ
Z-test = 𝓸
SD from sample = t-test √𝒏

Mean = m (z ≤ - (z-deviate) and z ≥ + (z-deviate)


Mean (sample) = m0 TWO-TAILED TEST AND T-TEST
2. KNOW IF IT IS ONE-TAILED OR TWO-TAILED
×−µ
WHERE TO LOOK AND WHAT TO FIND? T-test = 𝒔
√𝒏
One-tailed Test Two-tailed Test To find the critical region value, we must:
t-test – degree of freedom  Find the degree of freedom (n-1)
z-test
= n-1 (relate it to the table)  Look for the corresponding value in table
KEYWORDS TO JUDGE dependent on the alpha. Since its two tailed,
look for the two-tailed title.
One-tailed Test Two-tailed Test
change/answerable by yes t ≤,< - (t-value) and t ≥,> + (t-value)
greater than/less than
or no/equal
ONE-TAILED TEST AND Z-TEST
×−µ
Step 1: State the null hypothesis (=) Z-test = 𝓸

One-tailed test √𝒏
z ≤,< - (z-deviate) or z ≥,> + (z-deviate)
H0: m = (value of the population mean)
Ha: m >,< (value of the population mean) ONE-TAILED TEST AND T-TEST
Two-tailed test
×−µ
H0: m = (value of the population mean) T-test = 𝒔
Ha: m ≠ (value of the population mean) √𝒏
To find the critical region value, we must:
Step 2: Level of Significance (α)
 Find the degree of freedom (n-1)
IF THE TABLE IS ON OPENEPI AND STRATA
 Look for the corresponding value in table
P-value is greater than α- (don’t reject H0)
dependent on the alpha. Since its two tailed,
P-value is less than α- (reject H0) look for the two-tailed title.
Step 3: Test Statistics
TWO-TAILED TEST t ≤,< - (t-value) or t ≥,> + (t-value)
Step 5: Compute the Test Statistic
Z-test =(×-µ)/(o/(√n))
TWO-TAILED TEST AND Z-TEST
×−µ
 X = sample mean Z-test = 𝓸
√𝒏
 µ = population mean
 X = sample mean
 σ = SD from the population
 µ = population mean
 n = sample size
 s = SD from the sample
ONE-TAILED TEST  n = sample size
×−µ
ONE-TAILED TEST
T-test = 𝑠 ×−µ
√𝑛
T-test = 𝒔
√𝒏
 X = sample mean
 X = sample mean
 µ = population mean
 µ = population mean
 s = SD from the sample
 s = SD from the sample
 n = sample size
 n = sample size
Step 6: Statistical Decision (Manual) (Notation)
CONDITIONS TO REJECT NULL HYPOTHESIS

 Look for the normal distribution


 If it falls to the critical region (covered), we reject
the null hypothesis
 If it falls within the non-rejection area, we do not
reject the null hypothesis

Step 7: Draw conclusion (Manual) (Statement)


INTERPRETATION/RESULT OF HYP. TESTING
 Look for statement in the null hypothesis
 Then, look for the statistical decision
 If it rejects the null hypothesis, write the
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS statement.
 If it doesn’t reject the null hypothesis, write the
NULL HYPOTHESIS statement.
 There is no sufficient evidence…+ Ha hypo.

Construction of Statement in Step 1

Two-tailed Test
Null Hypothesis: The parameter/measure + variable
(mean blood cholesterol level) is equal to (population
mean value)

Alternative Hypothesis: The parameter/measure +


variable (mean blood cholesterol level) is not equal to
(population mean value)

One-tailed Test
Null Hypothesis: The parameter/measure + variable
(mean blood cholesterol level) is equal to (population
mean value)

Alternative Hypothesis: The parameter/measure +


variable (mean blood cholesterol level) is greater/less
than to (population mean value)
