***************************************************************************** * CHAPTER 9 - STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS & ECONOMICS, 4th Ed., by Paul Newbold * ***************************************************************************** * * Example 9.1, page 331 * * A random sample of ball bearings is N, their mean weights is MEAN, and the * standard deviation is SIGMA, and the Null Hypothesis is H0. * GEN1 N=16 GEN1 MEAN=5.038 GEN1 SIGMA=0.1 GEN1 H0=5 * * The Null Hypothesis is that the population mean weight is equal to 5 ounces * and the Alternative Hypothesis is that it is bigger than 5 ounces. * * First, test the Null Hypothesis at the 5% level. From Table 3 in the * Appendix, z.05=1.645 * GEN1 Z05=1.645 * * The GEN1 command is used to calculate the Decision Rule formula on page 331 * at the 5% level. * GEN1 DECISION=(MEAN-H0)/(SIGMA/SQRT(N)) PRINT DECISION * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.2, page 336 * * The random sample of drilled hole measurements is N, the mean diameter is * MEAN, standard deviation is SIGMA and the Null Hypothesis is H0. * GEN1 N=9 GEN1 MEAN=1.95 GEN1 SIGMA=0.06 GEN1 H0=2 * * The Null Hypothesis, H0, is that the population mean is 2 inches and the * Alternative Hypothesis that it is not. At the 5% level of significance * z0.025=1.96. * GEN1 DECISION=(MEAN-H0)/(SIGMA/SQRT(N)) PRINT DECISION * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.3, page 337 * * The random sample of consumer responses is N, sample mean response is MEAN, * the sample standard deviation is S, and the Null Hypothesis is H0. * GEN1 N=541 GEN1 MEAN=3.68 GEN1 S=1.21 GEN1 H0=3.75 * * The Null Hypothesis, H0, is that the population mean is at least 3.75 and * the Alternative is that it is less than 3.75. * GEN1 STAT=(MEAN-H0)/(S/SQRT(N)) PRINT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.4, page 340 * * The SAMPLE command is used to specify the sample range of the data to be * read. The READ command inputs the data and assigns variable names. In * this case, the sales figures for the random sample of six stores is assigned * to the variable called SALES. The LIST option on the READ command lists * all data read. * SAMPLE 1 6 READ SALES / LIST 19.2 18.4 19.8 20.2 20.4 19.0 * * The GENR command is used to generate a vector of SALES-squared. * GENR SALES2=SALES**2 * * Print the Table on page 341 of X and X-squared. * PRINT SALES SALES2 * * The STAT command is used to print the descriptive statistic about the * variables SALES and SALES2. The MEAN= option stores the means as a vector * in the variable called MEAN. The SUMS= option stores the sum of each * variable as a vector in the variable called SUMS. * STAT SALES / MEAN=MEAN SUMS=SUM STAT SALES2 / MEAN=MEAN2 SUMS=SUM2 * * The sample mean is printed with the PRINT command. * PRINT MEAN * * The sample variance, S2, and sample standard deviation, S, is calculated * with the GEN1 command. * GEN1 N=6 GEN1 S2=(SUM2-N*(MEAN**2))/(N-1) GEN1 S=SQRT(S2) PRINT S2 S * * The Null Hypothesis, H0, that the true mean percentage sales increase is * 20, against the two-sided alternative at the 10% significance level is * calculated with the GEN1 command. * GEN1 H0=20 GEN1 STAT=(MEAN-H0)/(S/SQRT(N)) PRINT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.5, page 346 * * A random sample of consignments is N, the sample variance in impurity level * percentage is S2, the Null Hypothesis, H0, that the population variance of * impurity concentrations, SIGMA2, is no more than 4. * GEN1 N=20 GEN1 S2=5.62 GEN1 SIGMA2=4 * * The test of significance at the 10% level is calculated with the GEN1 * command. * GEN1 STAT=((N-1)*S2)/SIGMA2 PRINT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.6, page 349 * * A random sample of supermarket shoppers is N and the percentage of these * shoppers that were able to state the correct price of an item immediately * after putting it into the shopping cart is PX. The Null Hypothesis, P0, is * that at least one-half of all shoppers are able to state the correct price. * The Alternative Hypothesis is that less than one-half is able to state the * correct price. * GEN1 N=802 GEN1 PX=378/N GEN1 P0=0.50 * * The Null Hypothesis is tested at the 10% level of significance with the * GEN1 command. * GEN1 STAT=(PX-P0)/SQRT((P0*(1-P0))/N) PRINT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.7, page 356 * * The survey of male accountants is NX, their mean responses is MEANX, and * the sample standard deviation is SX. An independent random sample of * female accountants is NY, their mean responses is MEANY, and the sample * standard deviation is SY. * GEN1 NX=186 GEN1 MEANX=4.059 GEN1 SX=0.839 GEN1 NY=172 GEN1 MEANY=3.680 GEN1 SY=0.966 * * The Null Hypothesis is that the two population means are equal against * the Alternative Hypothesis that the true mean is higher for male * accountants. * GEN1 STAT=(MEANX-MEANY)/(SQRT((SX**2/NX)+(SY**2/NY))) PRINT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.8, page 358 * * A random sample of four groups with a moderator is NX, the sample mean is * MEANX and the sample standard deviation is SX. An independent random * sample of four groups without a moderator is NY, this sample mean is MEANY * and the sample standard deviatiion is SY. * GEN1 NX=4 GEN1 MEANX=78.0 GEN1 SX=24.4 GEN1 NY=4 GEN1 MEANY=63.5 GEN1 SY=20.2 * * The common population variance, S2, is estimated using the GEN1 command and * the common standard deviation, S, is the square root of the common * population variance. * GEN1 S2=(((NX-1)*SX**2)+((NY-1)*SY**2))/(NX+NY-2) GEN1 S=SQRT(S2) * * The Null Hypothesis is that the population means are equal against the * alternative that the true mean is higher for groups with a moderator. * The test statistic is calculated using the GEN1 command. * GEN1 STAT=(MEANX-MEANY)/(S*(SQRT((NX+NY)/(NX*NY)))) PRINT S2 S STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.9, page 361 * * A random sample of British trade magazine advertisements is NX and the * ratio of these magazines that are humourous is PXHAT. An independent * sample of American trade magazine advertisements is NY and the ratio of * these magazines that are humourous is PYHAT. * GEN1 NX=203 GEN1 PXHAT=52/NX GEN1 NY=270 GEN1 PYHAT=56/NY * * The Null Hypothesis is that the proportion of all British and American * trade magazine advertisements that are humourous are the same. * * First, the estimate of the common proportion under the Null Hypothesis, * P0HAT, must be calculated with the GEN1 command. * GEN1 P0HAT=((NX*PXHAT)+(NY*PYHAT))/(NX+NY) * * Then P0HAT is used in the test statistic calculation. * GEN1 STAT=(PXHAT-PYHAT)/(SQRT(P0HAT*(1-P0HAT)*((NX+NY)/(NX*NY)))) PRINT P0HAT STAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Example 9.10, page 367 * * A random sample of newly issued AAA-rated industrial bonds is NX and the * variance of maturities is SX2. An independent random sample of newly * issued CCC-rated industrial bonds is NY and its variance of maturity is * SY2. * GEN1 NX=17 GEN1 SX2=123.35 GEN1 NY=11 GEN1 SY2=8.02 * * The Null Hypothesis tests that the population variances are equal. * GEN1 FSTAT=SX2/SY2 PRINT FSTAT * DELETE / ALL * *---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * STOP
