Test the claim that the samples come from populations with the same mean. Assume that the populations are normally distributed with the same variance.
Given the sample data in the attachment, test the claim that the populations have the same mean. Use a significance level of 0.05.

  • Deciding whether to use a z test or a t test

    Answer Z-test and t-test are basically the same; they compare between two means to suggest whether both samples come from the same population. The main requirements for these two tests are given below.

  • ANOVA and Non-Parametric Testing

    If it can be established that the two samples indeed come from the same underlying population, businesses can then try to extend their approach of marketing in the other population based on their practices in the current population.

  • Statistics

    It is not the initial population that determines if the final samples are dependent or independent. The initial samples can come from the same population and our final samples be either independent or dependent.

  • Null and Alternate Hypotheses Question

    For example, if the null hypothesis is that sample A is drawn from a population with the same mean as sample B, the alternative hypothesis is that they come from populations with different means, which can be tested with a two-tailed test of significance

  • Analysis of Variance - ANOVA Problem

    Using ANOVA (short for Analysis of Variance), however, we can test 3 or more sample means to determine if at least one of the sample means comes from a population with a mean that is significantly different from all of the others in the test.

  • Central Limit Theorum

    When testing a statistical hypothesis or calculating a confidence interval, we generally take the mean of a certain number of samples from a population, and assume that this mean is a value from a normal distribution.

  • Statistics - Hypothesis Test for one Variable - T-test

    (B) The z- test and t- test are basically the same; they compare two means to suggest whether the two samples come from the same population. These tests can also be used to examine whether the mean has a specified value.

  • Use of Kruskal-Wallace and ANOVA

    We obtain independent random samples from each population, where the sample from the ith population has size n[i], for i = 1, . . . r.
