TEST STATISTIC
1. z - test
A z-test is a statistical test used to determine whether two population
means are different when the variances are known, and the sample size is
large. The test statistic is assumed to have a normal distribution and nuisance
parameters such as standard deviation should be known for an accurate z-
test to be performed. z-tests are used when we have large sample size (n≥30).
Large enough for the Central Limit Theorem to apply. Below is the formula to
be used in solving z-value where the population variance is assumed to be
known.
x̄ −µ
z= 𝜎
√𝑛
where: z = z - test
x̄ = sample mean
µ = population mean
= population standard deviation
n = sample size
2. t - test
A t-test is a calculation used to test a hypothesis, but they are
useful when we need to determine if there is a statistically significant
difference between two independent sample groups. Usually t-tests are
most appropriate when dealing with problems with a limited sample size
(n<30). t-tests are used when the sample size is below 30 and the population
standard deviation is unknown.
x̄ −µ
t= 𝑠
√𝑛
where: t = t test
µ = population mean
x̄ = sample mean
s = standard deviation of the sample
n = sample size
Example 2: Given the following data: Ho: µ = 80, Ha: µ ≠ 80, n = 100, ² = 8100,
x̄ = 105. Determine the test statistic.
Answer:
Since the population variance is known, and n≥30, the
appropriate test statistic is the z-test.
Example 4: Identify the appropriate test statistic given the information below:
µ = 11 s=3 n = 12 x̄ = 14
Answer:
Since the population standard deviation is unknown, and n<30,
the appropriate test statistic is the t-test.
Example 5: Given the following data: Ho: µ = 400, Ha: µ ≠ 400, α = 0.01, n =15,
s = 21.5, x̄ = 390. Determine the test statistic.
Answer:
Since the population standard deviation is unknown, and
n<30, the appropriate test statistic is the t-test.
Example 6: During the Covid-19 pandemic crisis local officials in the province
announced that the average price of a kilogram of chicken in the
province is ₱195.00. However, a sample of 15 prices randomly collected
from different markets in the province showed an average of ₱200.00
and a standard deviation of ₱9.50. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is
this sufficient evidence to conclude that the average price of chicken
in the province is more than ₱195.00? Normality is assumed over the
population. Select the test statistic.
Answer:
Since it is the population mean that is being tested, the population
standard deviation is unknown, and n<30, the appropriate test
statistic is the t-test.
Example 7: Determine the test statistic to be used and identify whether the Central
Limit Theorem is applicable or not given the following information:
REJECTION REGION
A rejection region is the set of all values of the test statistic that cause us
to reject the null hypothesis. It is also called as critical region. Below are the notes to
remember about the rejection region.
* If the test statistic falls into the rejection region, we reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
Since the two tailed test is non-directional, the rejection region is on both
sides of the curve.
Since the test is right-tailed test and is directional, then the rejection region is on
the right tail of the distribution
* If the hypothesis contains the less than symbol (<) then, the rejection region
is on the left tail of the curve.
* If the sample mean is lesser than the population mean the test is one tailed,
left tail.
Illustration:
Since the test is left-tailed test and is directional, then the rejection region is on
the left tail of the distribution
As we can see in the three illustrations above, there are lines that separates the
rejection and the non-rejection region. This line corresponds to a number called
critical values. Critical values are very important in concluding whether the null
hypothesis is to be rejected or not. The critical values could be determined using the
z-table (pls see the attach z-table after the references), if n ≥ 30, large enough to apply
the central limit theorem and the population is assumed to be known and t-table
(pls see the attach t-table after the references) if n < 30, where central limit theorem
cannot be applied and the population variance is assumed to be unknown.
Let’s consider below examples:
Example 1: Identify the rejection region and the critical values when the test is two
tailed, the level of significance is 0.05, the variance is known and n =
35?
Given: Two-tailed
Variance is known
𝛼 = 0.05
n = 35
Solution:
𝛼
= 0.025 Divide the level of significance (𝛼) by 2
2
0.5 – 0.025 = 0.4750 Subtract the quotient from 0.5
Note: The area 0.4750 is under column headed 0.06. Move along this row to the left
until 1.9 under column headed z is reached. Therefore, Zα/2 = 1.96 at 5% level of
significance, the critical values are ±1.96.
𝛼 𝛼
=0.025 =0.025
2 2
Rejection region Rejection region
In the figure, the two tailed test with α = 0.05, the critical value for the
𝛼
rejection region cuts off =0.025 or 2.5% in the two tails of the z
2
distribution, so that Z0.025 = ±1.96. The null hypothesis (Ho) will be
rejected if z>1.96 or z<-1.96.
Example 2: Identify the rejection region and the critical values when the test is two
tailed, the level of significance is 0.05, the variance is unknown and
n = 20?
Given: Two-tailed
Variance is unknown
𝛼 = 0.05
n = 20
Solution:
df = n -1 = 20-1 =19 Solve for the degrees of freedom
using the formula n-1
Note: In the table of critical values of t locate 19 in the first column headed df.
Because the test is two tailed with α = 0.05, refer to the column indicating an area of
0.05 in two tails. The critical values are ± 2.093.
𝛼 𝛼
=0.025 =0.025
