Hypothesis Testing for Two Populations

The chapter discusses hypothesis tests for comparing two population means and proportions. It covers tests for unknown and unequal population variances. Examples of hypothesis tests are provided to compare the means of two populations and proportions from independent populations with exercises for students to complete.

What are we going to learn?
After completing this chapter, you should be able to:
Test hypotheses for the difference between two population
means
◦ Two means, matched pairs
◦ Independent populations, population variances unknown
◦ Complete a hypothesis test for the difference between two
proportions (large samples)
Use the chi-square distribution for tests of the variance of a
normal distribution

Exercise 10.2
National Park rangers were surveyed as to whether they
endorsed the idea of carrying firearms. Of the 260
rangers polled west of the Mississippi, 78% endorsed
the idea. Of the 184 rangers polled east of the
Mississippi, 64% endorsed the idea. Is there evidence
that the level of support for carrying firearms is different
in the West than it is in the East at significant level 5%
