Inference about the
Comparison of
Two Populations
2
12.1 Introduction
• Variety of techniques are presented whose
objective is to compare two populations.
• We are interested in:
– The difference between two means.
– The ratio of two variances.
– The difference between two proportions.
3
12.2 Inference about the Difference b/n
Two Means: Independent Samples
• Two random samples are drawn from the two
populations of interest.
• Because we are interested in the difference
between the two means, we shall build the
statistic x for each sample (and support the
analysis by the statistic S2 as well).
4
The Sampling Distribution of x  x

x1  x 2 is normally distributed if the (original)
population distributions are normal .
x1  x 2 is approximately normally distributed if the
(original) population is not normal, but the sample
size is large.

Expected value of

The variance of
x1  x 2 is m1 - m2
x1  x 2 is s12/n1 + s22/n2
5
• If the sampling distribution of x1  x 2 is normal or
approximately normal we can write:
( x 1  x 2 )  (m   m  )
Z


n1 n2
• Z can be used to build a test statistic or a
confidence interval for m1 - m2
6
• Practically, the “Z” statistic is hardly used,
because the population variances are not known.
( x 1  x 2 )  (m   m  )
Zt 

n1 n2
• Instead, we construct a “t” statistic using the
sample “variances” (S12 and S22).
7
• Two cases are considered when producing the
t-statistic.
– The two unknown population variances are equal.
– The two unknown population variances are not equal.

Case I: The two variances are equal

• Example 12.1
– Do people who eat high-fiber cereal for
breakfast consume, on average, fewer
calories for lunch than people who do not eat
high-fiber cereal for breakfast?
– A sample of 150 people was randomly drawn.
Each person was identified as a consumer or
a non-consumer of high-fiber cereal.
– For each person the number of calories
consumed at lunch was recorded.

Solution:
• The data are quantitative.
• The parameter to be tested is
the difference between two means.
• The claim to be tested is that
mean caloric intake of consumers (m1)
is less than that of non-consumers (m2).
14
• Identifying the technique
–The hypotheses are:
H0: (m1 - m2) = 0
H1: (m1 - m2) < 0
(m1 < m2)
– To check the relationships between the variances, we use a
computer output to find the samples’ standard deviations.
We have S1 = 64.05, and S2 = 103.29. It appears that the
variances are unequal.
– We run the t - test for unequal variances.

• Example 12.2
– Do job design (referring to worker movements) affect
worker’s productivity?
– Two job designs are being considered for the
production of a new computer desk.
– Two samples are randomly and independently selected
• A sample of 25 workers assembled a desk using design A.
• A sample of 25 workers assembled the desk using design B.
• The assembly times were recorded
– Do the assembly times of the two designs differs?

–The hypotheses test is:

– To check the relationship between the two variances calculate
the value of S1 and S2. We have S1= 0.92, and S2 =1.14.
We can infer that the two variances are equal to one another.
– To calculate the t-statistic we have:

12.4 Matched Pairs Experiment
• What is a matched pair experiment?
• Why matched pairs experiments are needed?
• How do we deal with data produced in this way?
The following example demonstrates a situation
where a matched pair experiment is the correct
approach to testing the difference between two
population means.
26
Example 12.3
• To determine whether a new steel-belted radial tire lasts
longer than a current model, the manufacturer designs
the following experiment.
– A pair of newly designed tires are installed on the rear wheels
of 20 randomly selected cars.
– A pair of currently used tires are installed on the rear wheels
of another 20 cars.
– Drivers drive in their usual way until the tires worn out.
– The number of miles driven by each driver were recorded.
See data next.

While the sample mean of the new design is larger than the sample mean
of the existing design, the variability within each sample is large enough
for the sample distributions to overlap and cover about the same range.
It is therefore difficult to argue that one expected value is different than
the other.

12.5 Inferences about the ratio
of two variances
• In this section we discuss how to compare the
variability of two populations.
• In particular, we draw inference about the ratio of
two population variances.
• This question is interesting because:
– Variances can be used to evaluate the consistency of
processes.
– The relationships between variances determine the technique
used to test relationships between mean values
39
• Point estimator of s12/s22
– Recall that S2 is an unbiased estimator of s2.
– Therefore, it is not surprising that we estimate s12/s22
by S12/S22.
• Sampling distribution for s12/s22
– The statistic [S12/s12] / [S22/s22] follows the F distribution.
– The test statistic for s12/s22 is derived from this
statistic.
40
• Testing s12 / s22
– Our null hypothesis is always
H0: s12 / s22 = 1
S12/s12
– Under this null hypothesis the F statistic F =
2/s 2
S

becomes

• Solving by hand
– The rejection region is
F>F/2,n1,n2 or F<1/F,n,n
which becomes (for =0.05)...
F  F / 2,n1,n 2  F.025 ,42,106  F.025 ,40,120  1.61
F  1/ F / 2,n 2,n1  1/ F.025 ,106 ,42  1/ F.025 ,120 ,40  .63
– The F statistic value is F=S12/S22 = .3845
– Conclusion: Because .3845<.63 we can reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
– There is sufficient evidence in the data to argue at 5%
significance level that the variance of the two groups differ.

12.6 Inference about the difference
between two population proportions
• In this section we deal with two populations
whose data are qualitative.
• When data are qualitative we can (only) ask
questions regarding the proportions of
occurrence of certain outcomes.
• Thus, we hypothesize on the difference p1-p2,
and draw an inference from the hypothesis test.
46
• Sampling Distribution of the Difference
p̂1  p̂ 2
Between Two sample proportions
– Two random samples are drawn from two populations.
– The number of successes in each sample is recorded.
– The sample proportions are computed.

– The statistic p̂1  p̂ 2 is approximately normally
distributed if n1p1, n1(1 - p1), n2p2, n2(1 - p2) are all
Because p1, p2, are unknown,
equal to or greater than 5.
– The mean of p̂1  p̂ 2 is p1 -
we use their estimates instead.
p2. Thus, n1p̂1,n1q̂1,n2p̂2 ,n2q̂2
are all equal to or greater than 5.
– The variance of p̂1  p̂ 2 is p1(1-p1) /n1)+ (p2(1-p2)/n2)

(p̂1  p̂ 2 )  (p1  p 2 )

proportions, p1 - p2.

Case 1:

• Example 12.7
– A research project employing 22,000 American
physicians was conduct to discover whether aspirin
can prevent heart attacks.
– Half of the participants in the research took aspirin,
and half took placebo.
– In a three years period,104 of those who took aspirin
and 189 of those who took the placebo had had
heart attacks.
– Is aspirin effective in preventing heart attacks?
50
• Solution
– Identifying the technique
• The problem objective is to compare the population of
those who take aspirin with those who do not.
• The data is qualitative (Take/do not take aspirin)
• The hypotheses test are
Population 1 - aspirin takers
H0: p1 - p2 = 0
Population 2 - placebo takers
H1: p1 - p2 < 0

– Solving by hand
• For a 5% significance level the rejection region is
z < -z = -z.05 = -1.645
- 5.02 < - 1.645, so reject
the null hypothesis.
The sample proportions are
p̂1  104 11,000  .00945 , and p̂ 2  189 11,000  .01718
The pooled proportion is
p̂  ( x1  x 2 ) (n1  n2 )  (104  189) (11,000  11,000)  .01332

• Example 12.8 (Marketing application)
– Management needs to decide which of two new
packaging designs to adopt, to help improve sales of a
soap.
– A study is performed in two communities:
• Design A is distributed in Community 1.
• Design B is distributed in Community 2.
• The old design packages is still offered in both communities.
– For design A to be financially viable it has to outsell
design B by at least 3%.
53
– Summary of the experiment results
• Community 1 - 580 packages with new design A sold
324 packages with old design sold
• Community 2 - 604 packages with new design B sold
442 packages with old design sold
– Use 1% significance level and perform a test to find
which type of packaging to use.
54
• Solution
– Identifying the technique
• The problem objective is to compare two populations,
consisting of the values “purchase of the new design”,
and “purchase of the old design”.
• Data are qualitative. We need to test p1 - p2..
• The hypotheses to test are
H0: p1 - p2 = .03
H1: p1 - p2 > .03
• We have to perform case 2 of the test for difference in
proportions (the difference is not equal to zero).

The rejection region is z > z = z.01 = 2.33.
Conclusion: Do not reject the null hypothesis.
There is insufficient evidence to infer that
packaging with design A will outsell design B
by 3% or more.

12.7 Market Segmentation
(Optional)
• Marketing Segmentation is a statistical analysis
aimed at determining the differences that exist
between buyers and non-buyers of a company’s
product.
• Statistics plays a major role in market segmentation.
– Surveys are used to gather the relevant data.
– Statistical tests are used to differentiate among segments.
– Sales and profit estimates are derived.
58
• Example 12.10
– A new company in the market offers no-wait services
for car oil and filter change.
– The company wants to make decisions about where to
advertise, and the nature of the advertisement.
– A sample of 1000 car owners was selected. The
drivers were asked to report whether or not they used
a no-wait station, as well as several characteristics of
their lives (including age).
59
– The research should reveal whether differences in age
exist between customers of no-wait service and
customers of other types of facilities (see file XM12-10)
• Solution
– Identifying the technique
• The problem objective is to compare the population of ages
of no-wait customers, to the population of ages of other
facility users.
• Data are quantitative.
• Samples are independent.
• The parameter to be tested is m1 - m2., (m represents mean
age)
60
– The hypotheses are
H0: m1 - m2 = 0
H1: m1 - m2 = 0
– When testing for the relationship between the two
variances we get the following results
