...Hypothesis Reflection Learning Team A: Kala Chavez, Jessica Gonani, Stacie Knauss, Michael Orcutt, and Troy Stodard QNT 351/Statistics for Business and Economics June 17, 2014 Don Silva Hypothesis Reflection This week Learning Team A is tasked with discussing three parts to hypothesis research. These objectives included evaluating the steps to test a research hypothesis, compare the means of two or more groups, and calculating the correlation between the two variables. By discussing these three objectives, team A will gain a better understanding of how the objectives are associated with statistical analysis. Research hypothesis Testing a theory or hypothesis sounds like an easy task but it is not. There are many steps to testing a research hypothesis. The five steps of hypothesis testing are (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2012): 1. Stating the research question or questions 2. Specifying the null and alternative hypothesis involved 3. Calculating the test statistics 4. Computing the probability of test statistics or the rejection region 5. Stating the conclusions The first step, stating the research question, will clearly define and identify the research question. The population of interest, hypothesized values, and the parameters of the variables are clearly stated. Next is to state the hypothesis of at least two possible outcomes. These are the null and alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis states that nothing will...

...2011 Exercise: SPSS 5. Hypothesis test The MBA programme leader is interested to know if there is any significant average age difference between males and females and if there is which is the older group. a. Suggest a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis for testing the mean age for male and female students. μ0: The average ages of males and females are the same. μ1: The average ages of males and females are not the same. b. Carry out an appropriate test to compare the mean age for the two sexes, and interpret your results. Since the goal is to compare two means and that the data is of ratio scale, One-Way ANOVA is the appropriate test. Here we have gender as the factor and age as the dependent variable, and we choose the common 0.05 level of significance. Figure 5.1 is the resulting ANOVA table. | | | | | | |3.131a |2 |.209 | | |3.433 |2 |.180 | | |.543 |1 |.461 | | |40 | | | Figure 6.1 Cross table of satisfaction and sex at α=0.05 The p-value, which is 0.209, is very obviously greater than our chosen level of significance, 0.05.

...ABSTRACT To reduce the effort, testing cycle time & % of human errors that can easily creep in while comparing the results of Regression Test Suite, a thought process was put into designing & implementing an Automation Framework for the purpose. A lot of work and research has already being done for the Execution phase of Regression Testing wherein two parallel sides – Test & Prod are setup & Test Cases executed by firing the same one after the another & results stored. A large number of Regression Automation Tools are available in market like, QTP, Selenium, WATIR etc, to cover this up. Contrary to this very less work is available & very less has been thought about the Comparison phase wherein Test Results thus generated have to be compared to produce a summary report for QA Testers to analyze which they can further categorize into Expected & Unexpected Breaks & then reach out to Development for investigation & thus complete the end-to-end life cycle of Regression Testing. With advent of IT and shift of focus toward Financial Banks & Institutions, a need is felt to have some faster & feasible way to compare records with high volume. That is the starting point for this paper under which an Automation Framework for Comparison Phase of Regression Testing is built in Perl, that could easily cover records of any volume. Use of Industry Compliant Methodology, named Best Match, made the framework even more flexible for scenarios having duplicate records on either of the two parallel...

...However, Tom has little to no experience on the business end of owning a car dealership. It has been reported that Tom’s asking prices for his vehicles are not aligned with the average market price. Ultimately, Tom does not base his prices on the used car market price; instead he bases it on assumptions. For example, Tom thinks, red cars give the impression of being “sportier and can sell at a premium,” he also believes older models normally sell for less. After much dismay and inaccurate rates in sells, Tom tries to systematically price his Mustangs, but due to the multitude of variables, Tom found this task challenging. (Bowerman, 2003, p. 3) This report will provide information obtained through hypothesis confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, multiple and simple regression models, descriptive statistics, and historical background information pertaining to Tom’s Ford Mustangs. This report will pay close attention to the possible relationship between the dependent...

These protein concentration determinations necessary for downstream manufacturing processes to make sure the correct protein concentrations are used to meet product specifications and product performance. In the testing areas there are several test methods used by the laboratory to determine protein concentration. One method is the Amino Acid Analysis method (AAA). This method takes the protein and “unzips” the DNA strand of the protein and analyzes the protein for the different Amino Acids, then calculates a theoretical protein concentration based on the testing. Another method employed is the UV absorbance method (A280), where UV light (wavelength 280) is passed through the sample and hits the detector on the other side of the sample, at which point a measurement is made. The instrument will then use the light reading to determine a protein concentration of the material...

The analysis looks at the total team and reviewed the information such as games played, field goals attempt and percentage, free throw attempts and percentage, blocks and steals. The data was obtained from the NBA website. For the 2013 NBA stats there were 30 teams that played on the average of 82 games. Based on statistical analysis, the most important keys for team success in basketball and their relative weights, in parentheses, are field goal percentage, turnovers, offensive rebounds, free throw attempts and percentage, blocks and steals. Coaches are always looking for a better understanding of what makes up a winning team. This knowledge would help them improve the team statistics in the areas listed...

...Hypothesis Testing and EViews p-values: Suppose that we want to test a null hypothesis about a single parameter using its estimated value (for example a mean or a regression coefficient). We can do so using a t-test. To begin, suppose that the parameter to be estimated is β. We must first specify a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. 2 tail test: For a two tailed test, we want to test whether β is a particular value or not. We first set the value of β that we want to test. We’ll call this β0 to indicate that this will be the value of β under the null hypothesis. In a two tail test, the null and alternative hypotheses are: H0 : β = β 0 HA : β = β0 ˆ We proceed by estimating β. We denote the estimated value as β. This could for example be a sample mean estimate of the population mean, a least squared estimate of a regression coefficient, or a maximum likelihood estimate of a model coefficient, ˆ depending on the context. The estimate β is usually accompanied by a standard error ˆ to indicate how precisely it is estimated. We denote this standard error as se(β). This ˆ is a random variable with a sampling distribution. It will have reflects the fact the β different values in different samples. We can then form the following test statistic by computing the standardised statistic ˆ whereby we subtract the hypothesisized value β0 from the estimate β and divide by its standard error: t-stat = ˆ β − β0 ˆ se(β) ˆ Again, this test statistic is a random variable since it depends...

...influence of various options on asking price and to relay how this information could be used to set prices on used Mustangs. Statistical analysis by Hypothesis Testing and Multiple Regression Analysis was performed on the asking prices for used Mustangs and it was found that there are five independent variables that affect the selling price of used Mustangs: • If the car is a convertible or not • If the car is a GT model or not • Age of the car in years • Odometer reading in miles • Number of cylinders in the engine II. Introduction Research suggests that pricing strategies can have a huge influence on company profits.[2] Several customers of Tom’s Used Mustangs have mentioned that asking prices are way out of line with the rest of the market. These prices may be too high or too low, and are never close to the going rate. It had been determined that asking prices for the used Mustangs were based on an informal scheme and has not proved to be as effective as anticipated. In researching competitors, and because the physical characteristics are many, there has been some difficulty pinpointing a useful pricing strategy. To effectively find a pricing scheme, statistical analysis of the given data involved hypothesis testing and multiple-regression analysis. Hypothesis testing is the rational agenda for applying statistical tests. The main question we usually wish to dig up from a test such as this is whether the sample...
