Estimating the Difference Between
Two Population Means



Let m1 equal the mean of population 1 and m2 equal
the mean of population 2.
The difference between the two population means is
m1 - m2.
To estimate m1 - m2, we will select a simple random
sample of size n1 from population 1 and a simple
random sample of size n2 from population 2.
Let x1 equal the mean of sample 1 and x2 equal the
mean of sample 2.
 The point estimator of the difference between the
means of the populations 1 and 2 is x1  x2.


Example: Par, Inc.
Par, Inc. is a manufacturer
of golf equipment and has
developed a new golf ball
that has been designed to
provide “extra distance.”
In a test of driving distance using a mechanical
driving device, a sample of Par golf balls was
compared with a sample of golf balls made by Rap,
Ltd., a competitor. The sample statistics appear on the
next slide.

Inferences About the Difference Between
Two Population Means: Matched Samples
 With a matched-sample design each sampled item
provides a pair of data values.
 This design often leads to a smaller sampling error
than the independent-sample design because
variation between sampled items is eliminated as a
source of sampling error.
