Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-2 Learning Objectives In this chapter, you learn: To construct and interpret confidence interval estimates for the mean and the proportion How to determine the sample size necessary to develop a confidence interval for the mean or proportion How to use confidence interval estimates in auditing
3.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-3 Chapter Outline Content of this chapter Confidence Intervals for the Population Mean, μ when Population Standard Deviation σ is Known when Population Standard Deviation σ is Unknown Confidence Intervals for the Population Proportion, π Determining the Required Sample Size
4.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-4 Point and Interval Estimates A point estimate is a single number, a confidence interval provides additional information about the variability of the estimate Point Estimate Lower Confidence Limit Upper Confidence Limit Width of confidence interval
5.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-5 We can estimate a Population Parameter … Point Estimates with a Sample Statistic (a Point Estimate) Mean Proportion pπ Xμ
6.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-6 Confidence Intervals How much uncertainty is associated with a point estimate of a population parameter? An interval estimate provides more information about a population characteristic than does a point estimate Such interval estimates are called confidence intervals
7.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-7 Confidence Interval Estimate An interval gives a range of values: Takes into consideration variation in sample statistics from sample to sample Based on observations from 1 sample Gives information about closeness to unknown population parameters Stated in terms of level of confidence e.g. 95% confident, 99% confident Can never be 100% confident
8.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-8 Confidence Interval Example Cereal fill example Population has µ = 368 and σ = 15. If you take a sample of size n = 25 you know 368 ± 1.96 * 15 / = (362.12, 373.88) contains 95% of the sample means When you don’t know µ, you use X to estimate µ If X = 362.3 the interval is 362.3 ± 1.96 * 15 / = (356.42, 368.18) Since 356.42 ≤ µ ≤ 368.18 the interval based on this sample makes a correct statement about µ. But what about the intervals from other possible samples of size 25? 25 25
9.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-9 Confidence Interval Example (continued) Sample # X Lower Limit Upper Limit Contain µ? 1 362.30 356.42 368.18 Yes 2 369.50 363.62 375.38 Yes 3 360.00 354.12 365.88 No 4 362.12 356.24 368.00 Yes 5 373.88 368.00 379.76 Yes
10.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-10 Confidence Interval Example In practice you only take one sample of size n In practice you do not know µ so you do not know if the interval actually contains µ However you do know that 95% of the intervals formed in this manner will contain µ Thus, based on the one sample, you actually selected you can be 95% confident your interval will contain µ (this is a 95% confidence interval) (continued) Note: 95% confidence is based on the fact that we used Z = 1.96.
11.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-11 Estimation Process (mean, μ, is unknown) Population Random Sample Mean X = 50 Sample I am 95% confident that μ is between 40 & 60.
12.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-12 General Formula The general formula for all confidence intervals is: Point Estimate ± (Critical Value)(Standard Error) W h Where: •Point Estimate is the sample statistic estimating the population parameter of interest •Critical Value is a table value based on the sampling distribution of the point estimate and the desired confidence level •Standard Error is the standard deviation of the point estimate
13.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-13 Confidence Level Confidence Level Confidence the interval will contain the unknown population parameter A percentage (less than 100%)
14.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-14 Confidence Level, (1-) Suppose confidence level = 95% Also written (1 - ) = 0.95, (so = 0.05) A relative frequency interpretation: 95% of all the confidence intervals that can be constructed will contain the unknown true parameter A specific interval either will contain or will not contain the true parameter No probability involved in a specific interval (continued)

Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-20 Example A sample of 11 circuits from a large normal population has a mean resistance of 2.20 ohms. We know from past testing that the population standard deviation is 0.35 ohms. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the true mean resistance of the population.

22.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-22 Interpretation We are 95% confident that the true mean resistance is between 1.9932 and 2.4068 ohms Although the true mean may or may not be in this interval, 95% of intervals formed in this manner will contain the true mean
23.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-23 Confidence Intervals Population Mean σ Unknown Confidence Intervals Population Proportion σ Known
24.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-24 Do You Ever Truly Know σ? Probably not! In virtually all real world business situations, σ is not known. If there is a situation where σ is known then µ is also known (since to calculate σ you need to know µ.) If you truly know µ there would be no need to gather a sample to estimate it.
25.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-25 If the population standard deviation σ is unknown, we can substitute the sample standard deviation, S This introduces extra uncertainty, since S is variable from sample to sample So we use the t distribution instead of the normal distribution Confidence Interval for μ (σ Unknown)
26.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-26 Assumptions Population standard deviation is unknown Population is normally distributed If population is not normal, use large sample Use Student’s t Distribution Confidence Interval Estimate: (where tα/2 is the critical value of the t distribution with n -1 degrees of freedom and an area of α/2 in each tail) Confidence Interval for μ (σ Unknown) n S tX 2/α (continued)
27.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-27 Student’s t Distribution The t is a family of distributions The tα/2 value depends on degrees of freedom (d.f.) Number of observations that are free to vary after sample mean has been calculated d.f. = n - 1
28.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-28 If the mean of these three values is 8.0, then X3 must be 9 (i.e., X3 is not free to vary) Degrees of Freedom (df) Here, n = 3, so degrees of freedom = n – 1 = 3 – 1 = 2 (2 values can be any numbers, but the third is not free to vary for a given mean) Idea: Number of observations that are free to vary after sample mean has been calculated Example: Suppose the mean of 3 numbers is 8.0 Let X1 = 7 Let X2 = 8 What is X3?
29.
Basic Business Statistics,
11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-29 Student’s t Distribution t0 t (df = 5) t (df = 13) t-distributions are bell- shaped and symmetric, but have ‘fatter’ tails than the normal Standard Normal (t with df = ∞) Note: t Z as n increases

11e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 8-33 Example of t distribution confidence interval Interpreting this interval requires the assumption that the population you are sampling from is approximately a normal distribution (especially since n is only 25). This condition can be checked by creating a: Normal probability plot or Boxplot (continued)

Although the interval from 0.1651 to 0.3349 may or may not contain the true proportion, 95% of intervals formed from samples of size 100 in this manner will contain the true proportion.

Chap 8-52 Applications in Auditing Six advantages of statistical sampling in auditing Sampling is less time consuming and less costly Sampling provides an objective way to calculate the sample size in advance Sampling provides results that are objective and defensible. Because the sample size is based on demonstrable statistical principles, the audit is defensible before one’s superiors and in a court of law.

Chap 8-53 Applications in Auditing Sampling provides an estimate of the sampling error Allows auditors to generalize their findings to the population with a known sampling error. Can provide more accurate conclusions about the population Sampling isoften more accurate for drawing conclusions about large populations. Examining every item in a large population is subject to significant non-sampling error Sampling allows auditors to combine, and then evaluate collectively, samples collected by different individuals.
