Subject: Statistics and ProbabilityCourse: 200 3150: STAT

4) (made-up data) Hypothesis Test problem for TWO population DIFFERENCES (not proportions or means) comparison hypothesis test (NOT a proportion problem - so we use t-values, not z-values). SHOW t-TEST SETUP and calculation, AND for the t-Critical, what SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL (the column) and what df (which row) were used and what the t-Critical value is.

Do people avoid driving on Friday the 13th? Here are data on 20 Fridays: 10 on the 13th and the other 10 on the Friday before. For the DIFFERENCES, Calculate the MEAN and SD between traffic on these two Fridays at the 95% level(alpha = 5%);

Traffic Count

Dates 6th (x1) 13th (x2) d = (x1 - x2)
1990, July 139246 138548
1990, July 138012 132908
1991, September 137055 136018

1992, November 124609 125770
1992, November 119584 116263

For the differences (all d's) the MEAN = _______ and the SD = __________

TEST STATISTIC: t-Test = (d-bar -d)/sd /sqrt(n) = ____; The t-Critical with (n-1) df for = 5% is______

What is the software generated p-value for the t-Test? ______

What is your math conclusion and your real-world conclusion?
