+ One Sample Tests + + + +

+ Suppose 10% of the general population is left-handed. + In a sample of 100 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, 16 are found to be left-handed. + Is this evidence that the proportion of left-handedness is higher among carpal tunnel syndrome patients than among the general population? +

+ + + +

+ We would like to develop a framework through which we can analyze whether data we've collected provides evidence for a particular hypothesis. + In fact, we will generally consider two hypotheses: +

+ + + +

+ The null hypothesis, often denoted H_0, is the assumption that an effect being studied or proposed does not exist. + The alternative hypothesis, H_a, is the claim that the effect does exist. +

+ + + +

+ In the previous example, if we write \theta for the true proportion of left-handed people among the population with carpal tunnel syndrome, the null hypothesis would be that this proportion is the same as the general population. + The alternative hypothesis might be, for example, that the proportion is higher than among the general population: + + H_0: \theta \amp = 0.1 + H_a: \theta \amp \gt 0.1 + +

+ +

+ After performing an experiment, we will either accept or reject the null hypothesis based on the data we collect. + Consider the following scenarios: +

+ + + + + accept H_0 + reject H_0 + + + + H_0 true + correct + type I error + + + + H_0 false + type II error + correct + + + +

+ We'll use the notation \alpha for the probability of making a type I error, also called the significance level, and \beta for the probability of making a type II error. + The power of a test is the probability of correctly rejecting H_0, i.e., 1 - \beta. +

+ + + +

+ The p-value is the probability of observing a result at least as extreme as measured if H_0 is true. +

+ + + + + +

+ Continuing the previous example, under H_0 that \theta = 0.1, the probability of seeing at least 16 left-handed people in a sample of 100 people would be: + + \sum_{k = 16}^{100} {100 \choose k} (0.1)^k (1 - 0.1)^{100 - k} \approx 0.04, + + which is our p-value. +

+ + + +

+ The goal of our calculation is to control the chance of making a type I error by choosing a significance level cutoff, often 0.05. + If our calculated p-value is below the cutoff, then reject H_0. + Otherwise, accept H_0. + In the previous example, we would reject H_0, because it appears that the data we collected is pretty unlikely to see if the null hypothesis were true. + We would accept that, about 4% of the time if the null hypothesis is true, we would see data at least this extreme, and therefore make a mistake by rejecting H_0. +

+ +

+ The test we just applied is called 1-tailed. + The alternative hypothesis \theta \gt 0.1 proposed that \theta was different from 0.1 in a specific direction. + For a 2-tailed test, we could use the alternative hypothesis that \theta \neq 0.1. + In this setting, the idea of data "at least as extreme" as what was measured is reframed. + We measured 16 left-handed people in a sample of 100, which is 6 more than we would expect under the null hypothesis. + So we should also include the possibility of seeing at least 6 fewer left-handed people in the sample than expected: + + p\text{-value} \amp = \Pr(\geq 16 \text{ left-handed people}) + \Pr(\leq 4 \text{ left-handed people}) + \amp = \left(\sum_{k = 16}^{100} {100 \choose k} (0.1)^k (0.9)^{100 - k}\right) + \left(\sum_{k = 0}^{4} {100 \choose k} (0.1)^k (0.9)^{100 - k}\right) + \amp \approx 0.064 \gt 0.05, + + so, using a 2-tailed test, we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. +

+ +

+ In suitable situations, we can also use a normal approximation via to calculate the p-value. +

+ + + +

+ We find a coin on the street and wonder if it's a fair coin. + We flip it 100 times and see 62 heads. + Is this strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis of a fair coin at a 0.05 significance level? +

+ +

+ Let S be the random variable which counts the number of heads in 100 flips. + The null hypothesis H_0 of a fair coin would mean the parameter \theta = \Pr(\text{heads}) = 0.5. + (We'll avoid the letter p for the parameter to prevent confusion with the new term, p-value.) So: + + \E(S) \amp = n\theta = 100(0.5) = 50 + \Var(S) \amp = n\theta(1-\theta) = 100(0.5)(0.5) = 25 + + Then, by , S \approx \Norm(50, 25). + So, using a 2-tailed test, the p-value is: + + \Pr(S \geq 62) + \Pr(S \leq 38) \amp \approx \Pr\left(Z \geq \frac{61.5 - 50}{\sqrt{25}}\right) + \Pr\left(Z \leq \frac{38.5 - 50}{\sqrt{25}}\right) + \amp = (1 - \Phi(2.3)) + \Phi(-2.3) + \amp \approx (1 - 0.9893) + 0.0107 + \amp = 0.0214 \lt 0.05, + + so this is strong enough evidence to reject H_0. +

+ + + + + + +

+ In each of the following scenarios, determine whether we should use a 1-tailed test or a 2-tailed test. +
