Chapter 14 Large Sample Hypothesis Testing Part II
Problem I message: This
problem tests the difference between 2 independent means. Those using Quick's data files
should load spss090.
Others should create a data file with 70 rows and 2 columns (variables).
In the first data variable column entitled days enter the data for Supplier A and then the data for Supplier B.
In the second source variable column entitled supplier, enter a 0 next to Supplier A's data and a 1 next to Supplier B's data. This source variable
may be defined in a similar manner as the Practice Set 12 source variable.
All SPSS users should select Statistics, Compare Means, and Independent-Samples T Test. Use the right button to load days
into the Test Variable box and supplier into Grouping Variable box. Select Define Group. Set Group 1 to 0 and Group 2 to 1.
Choose Continue and OK. Accept H0 because the test statistic t (z) of -1.32 (for unequal variances) is not beyond -1.96 (it is
greater than -1.96), the critical value of t (z). Delivery times are the same.
Problem II message: SPSS calculates z and p simultaneously. We must redo the chapter 13 test and look for the p value.
Those using Quick's data files should load spss068.
Others will need to load their page 68 data set.
All SPSS users should redo the chapter 13 z (t) value test as a p-value test.
Choose Statistics, Compare Means, and One-Sample T Test. Highlight weight and load it using the right button.
Set the Test value to 30 mg. Choose OK. SPSS gives a two-tail p-value using t of .026 which is .013 for a one-tail problem. Accept
H0 because .013 > .01. Quick's manual solution gives a one-tail p-value using z of .0103 which also accepts
H0. Parts were not too heavy.

1) t = -1.14 and p/2 = .261/2 = .13 > .01, accept the Null Hypothesis,
the mean is greater than or equal to $8.00
2) using a standard deviation of .463, t = -1.53 and p/2 = .133/2 = .067 > .05, accept the
Null Hypothesis, the mean could be greater than or equal to 80%.
Note that Quick Notes Statistics rejects the null hypothesis.
This is because Quick uses the population standard deviation to
estimate the standard error and SPSS uses the sample standard deviation.
3) Do by hand. 4) t = 4.24 and p/2 = .024/2 = .012 < .05, reject the Null Hypothesis, sales performance improved 5) t = 2.97 and p = .004 < .05, reject the Null Hypothesis, mean service time at these stores is not the same 6) t = - 4.0 and p = .001 < .01, reject the Null Hypothesis, assembly time has gone down 7) Do by hand. 8) Chi-Square = 3.1429 < 9.49 and p = .5342 > .05, accept the Null Hypothesis, accidents happen equally throughout the week 9A) F = 5.77 and p = .024 < .05, reject the Null Hypothesis, the mean time to assemble computer parts is not equal for these three departments 9B) Do by hand. 10) p = .1224 > .01, accept the Null Hypothesis, assembly times are equal 11) Chi square = 11.23 and p = .0036 < .01, reject the Null Hypothesis, median assembly times for these three methods are not equal 12) SPSS control charts look very similar to those on page T 145. 13) p = .2188 > .10, accept the Null Hypothesis, customers rate these brands equally |
