Statistics Solved Problems
Difference Between Two Means (Z-Test)
Given n1=100, mean1=61, SD1=4; n2=200, mean2=63, SD2=6. Z = 3.43 > 1.96. Reject H0. There
is a significant difference between the means.
Horse A vs Horse B (t-Test)
Calculated t = 2.36, df=11. Since t > 1.796, reject H0. Horse B is significantly faster than Horse A.
Digits in Telephone Directory (Chi-Square Test)
Chi-square = 62.74, df=9. Since 62.74 > 16.92, reject H0. Digits do not occur equally frequently.
Education and Marriage Adjustment (Chi-Square Test)
Chi-square = 60.15, df=6. Since 60.15 > 12.59, reject H0. There is a significant association
between education level and marriage adjustment. Higher education is associated with greater
adjustment in marriage.
Drug Effectiveness Test
Chi-square = 2.084, df=1. Since 2.084 < 3.84, accept H0. Drug is not effective.
Poisson Goodness of Fit
Lambda = 1.968, Chi-square ≈ 9.36, df=4. Since 9.36 < 9.49, Poisson distribution fits the data.
F-Test for Equality of Variances
F = 1.37, df=(6,6). Since 1.37 < 4.28, accept H0. Population variances may be regarded as equal.
