Chapter 10Statistical Inferences about Two Populations
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The general focus of Chapter 10 is on testing hypotheses and constructing confidenceintervals about parameters from two populations, thereby enabling you to
1. Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals about the difference in twopopulation means using the z statistic.
2. Test hypotheses and establish confidence intervals about the difference in twopopulation means using the t statistic.
3. Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals about the difference in tworelated populations when the differences are normally distributed.
4. Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals about the difference in twopopulation proportions.
5. Test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals about two populationvariances when the two populations are normally distributed.
CHAPTER TEACHING STRATEGY
The major emphasis of chapter 10 is on analyzing data from two samples. Thestudent should be ready to deal with this topic given that he/she has tested hypotheses andcomputed confidence intervals in previous chapters on single sample data.
The z test for analyzing the differences in two sample means is presented here.Conceptually, this is not radically different than the z test for a single sample mean showninitially in Chapter 7. In analyzing the differences in two sample means where thepopulation variances are unknown, if it can be assumed that the populations are normallydistributed, a t test for independent samples can be used. There are two different

formulas given in the chapter to conduct this t test. One version uses a "pooled" estimateof the population variance and assumes that the population variances are equal. Theother version does not assume equal population variances and is simpler to compute.
However, the degrees of freedom formula for this version is quite complex.
A t test is also included for related (non independent) samples. It is important thatthe student be able to recognize when two samples are related and when they areindependent. The first portion of section 10.3 addresses this issue. To underscore thepotential difference in the outcome of the two techniques, it is sometimes valuable toanalyze some related measures data with both techniques and demonstrate that the resultsand conclusions are usually quite different. You can have your students work problemslike this using both techniques to help them understand the differences between the twotests (independent and dependent t tests) and the different outcomes they will obtain.
A z test of proportions for two samples is presented here along with an F test fortwo population variances. This is a good place to introduce the student to the F distribution in preparation for analysis of variance in Chapter 11. The student will beginto understand that the F values have two different degrees of freedom. The F distributiontables are upper tailed only. For this reason, formula 10.14 is given in the chapter to beused to compute lower tailed F values for two-tailed tests.

treatment, the mean was 5.214. The higher number after the treatment indicatesthat subjects were more likely to “blow the whistle” after having been through thetreatment. The observed t value was –3.12 which was more extreme than two-
tailed table t value of + 2.16 causing the researcher to reject the null hypothesis.
This is underscored by a p-value of .0081 which is less than α = .05. The studyconcludes that there is a significantly higher likelihood of “blowing the whistle”after the treatment.
10.75 The point estimates from the sample data indicate that in the northern city themarket share is .3108 and in the southern city the market share is .2701. Thepoint estimate for the difference in the two proportions of market share are .0407.Since the 99% confidence interval ranges from -.0394 to +.1207 and zero is in theinterval, any hypothesis testing decision based on this interval would result infailure to reject the null hypothesis. Alpha is .01 with a two-tailed test. This is
underscored by a calculated z value of 1.31 which has an associated p-value of
.191 which, of course, is not significant for any of the usual values of α.

Twenty-six pipes were measured for sample one and twenty-six pipes were
measured for sample two. The observed F = 1.79 is not significant at α = .05 fora two-tailed test since the associated p-value is .0758. There is no significantdifference in the variance of pipe lengths for pipes produced by machine A versusmachine B.
