F-Statistic Calculation
This section details the calculation of the F-statistic for comparing the variances of two normal populations, using the provided sample data and degrees of freedom notation.
Sample Data Summary
- Sample 1: Sample size $n_1 = 30$, Sample variance $s_1^2 = 10$.
- Sample 2: Sample size $n_2 = 24$, Sample variance $s_2^2 = 15$.
Degrees of Freedom
The degrees of freedom ($df$) for each sample are calculated as $n-1$.
- $df_1 = n_1 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29$.
- $df_2 = n_2 - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23$.
F-Statistic Formula
The question asks for the value of $F_{(29, 23)}$. This notation dictates the degrees of freedom for the numerator ($df_1 = 29$) and the denominator ($df_2 = 23$). Therefore, the F-statistic is calculated as the ratio of the sample variance from the first group to the sample variance from the second group:
$ F = \frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2} $Calculation
Substitute the given sample variances into the formula:
$ F = \frac{10}{15} $ $ F = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667 $The calculated F-statistic is approximately 0.667. Based on the provided options and correct answer, the value is given as 1.33.
Important Questions from Hypothesis testing - Teaching
- The null hypothesis in nonparametric test often _______.
1. Includes specification of a population's parameters
2. Is used to evaluate some general population aspect
3. Is very similar to that used in regression analysis
4. Simultaneously tests more than two population parameters - The _______ test determines whether there is a significant difference between the observed and hypothesized distribution for a sample.
1. Independence
2. Coefficient of determination
3. Correlation analysis
4. Goodness-of-fit - Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
LIST-I LIST-II A. One-Tailed Test I. Null hypothesis is rejected if the sample value is significantly higher or lower than the hypothesized value of the population parameter B. Paired difference Test II. A hypothesis test of the difference between the sample means of two independent samples C. Two-Tailed Test III. A sample value significantly above the hypothesized population value will lead to rejection of the null hypothesis D. Upper-Tailed Test IV. Concerned only with whether the observed value deviates from the hypothesized value in one direction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: - Arrange in correct sequence the steps for testing Statistical Hypothesis :
I. A random sample is drawn from population.
II. Specify the level of significance.
III. Value of the sample statistic is obtained.
IV. Obtained sample statistic is examined with the random sampling distribution of the statistic under consideration.
V. Formulate Null Hypothesis about a parameter of the population, along with an alternate hypothesis.
VI. Retain Null Hypothesis if particular sample outcome is in line with the expected outcomes, otherwise reject it and retain alternate hypothesis.
