The researcher must: Define the population under study State the hypothesis that is under investigation Give the significance level Select a sample from the population Collect the data Perform the statistical test Reach a conclusion Q1: Give at least three examples of a population. 1) _________________________________________________ 2) _________________________________________________ 3) _________________________________________________ Q2: For the population listed in 1), give an example of a sample from the population. ____________________________________________________ Q3: Can you make up some hypothesis about the population in 1). ____________________________________________________ Examples of hypothesis tests include t-test, Chi- Square, and correlation analysis to name a few. My goal is to give you enough information to use SPSS to perform some different hypothesis tests without getting into the nitty gritty detail. To use this tool properly, you must have a statistics background; otherwise, chances are very good that an incorrect test can be applied to a given set of data. Hypothesis testing is the formal statistical technique of collecting data to answer questions through the use of a statistical model. Each question asked needs to be posed as a null hypothesis; the null hypothesis is that there are no differences of the dependent variables of your model that can be explained by the independent variables. ONE-SAMPLE T-TEST: This is the easiest of the statistical tests to understand. Specifically, this test compares a sample mean (computed from a set of observed values) to a hypothesized mean and determines the likelihood that the observed difference between the sample and hypothesized mean occurs by chance. The chance is reported as the p-value. A p-value close to 1 means that it is very likely that the hypothesized and sample means are the same (assuming that they are the same), and a small p-value (for example 0.01) means it is unlikely (only a one in 100 chance) that such a difference would occur by chance (again, assuming that the two means are the same). Thus, the lower the p-value the more certain that we can be that there is a statistically significant difference between the observed and hypothesized mean. Most disciplines use an alpha value of 0.05; that is, if the p-value is less than 0.05 then the difference is regarded as statistically significant. if p < 0.05, reject the null hypothesis if p>= 0.05, accept the null hypothesis Exercise 1 The blood lipid data set in the CS130 Public->DataFiles directory represents a blood lipid screening of medical students. a) Grab this Excel file, open it up in SPSS and save the file as lipid.sav. b) What is the mean Cholesterol value? _____________________ c) Is the cholesterol level significantly greater than 190? Can you tell by looking at the data? What do you think? d) Our first objective is to perform a one-sample t-test on data from blood lipid screening of medical students. Specifically, we will test whether the mean cholesterol level is significantly greater than 190, the point at which cholesterol levels may be unhealthy. You will test the null hypothesis that the mean value for cholesterol is 190. Null hypothesis: The mean value for cholesterol is 190. Open Lipid Data. From the Analyze menu, select Compare Means and then One Sample t-test . Select your Test Variable which is Cholesterol . Enter the Test Value which is 190. In the variable browser, select Cholesterol and click ADD  INCLUDEPICTURE "http://zeus.cs.pacificu.edu/ryand/cs130/spring07/ttest.GIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET  Notice: In SPSS, the p-value is given in the box labelled Sig. (2-tailed). You will notice that the mean is slightly higher than the hypothesized value of 190. However, although the mean is in fact higher, this difference is well within the range of sampling variance. In particular, the p-value of 0.7373 indicates you would see a difference of this magnitude by chance more than 73% of the time. Thus the mean cholesterol level is not significantly greater than 190. PAIRED T-TEST: The most common use of the paired t-test is the comparison of two measurements (typically one measurement occurs before a "treatment" and the other after the "treatment") from the same individual or group. This test is used primarily to determine if the "treatment" had a statistically significant effect. As in the case of the one-sample t-test, the primary statistic of concern is the p-value, and thankfully the p-value has the same interpretation here as it did in the case of the one-sample t-test. Exercise 2 a) What is the mean for Triglycerides? ________________________ b) What is the mean for Trig-3yrs? __________________________ c) Does it look like there is a statistically significant difference between Triglycerides and Trig-3yrs? d) Perform a paired t-test using the Lipid Data file to see if there is a statistically significant difference between Triglycerides and Trig-3yrs. What is the Null hypothesis? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Open the Lipid Data file used in example one. From the Analyze menu, select Compare Means and then Paired Samples t-test. Select the paired variables and set your confidence interval at 95% Q4: Should we accept the null hypothesis in this case?
