DQ Responses week 5 RES 351
Hi Professor Jeff and class,
The Z-test and T-test are frequently used parametric for independent samples. The Z-test is used with large sample sizes (exceeding 30 with both independent samples) or with smaller samples when the data are normally distributed and population variances are known (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). With small sample sizes, normally distributed populations, and the assumption of equal population variances, the T-test is appropriate (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).
Similarities
· A Z-test and T-test are each a type of parametric tests.
· Parametric tests are resultant data from the given ranges which have given theconsumers to choose from intervals, such as 1-5.
· Parametric tests such as the Z test and t test are used to “conclude if there is a statistical significance among the sample distribution average and a parameter(Cooper, D. & Schindler, P., 2011).
· A Z test and a t-test could be opted as one sample test. One sample tests are opted when one sample is derived from a populace and a hypothesis “from the specified population” (Cooper, D. & Schindler, P., 2011), is tested.
· A Z test and a t-test could be used as a two sample test with each of its samples being independent.
· The Z test and t tests are matching while the sampling size is more than 120.
Differences
· The Z test and t test differ when the sample size is lower than 120.
· The t test is suitable for minute sample sizes.
· The Z test is suitable for huge or minute sample sizes.
· A t test can be opted as a two sample test by pairing the samples.

Response-
A Parametric tests are defined as the Z test or t-test is used to determine the statistical significance between a sample distribution mean and a parameter. The Z distribution and t distribution differ. The t has more tail area than found in the normal distribution. This is a compensation for the lack of information about the population standard deviation. although the sample standard deviation is used as a proxy figure, the imprecisions makes it necessary to go farther away from 0 to include the percentage of values in the t distribution necessarily found in the standard normal. some of the real-world applications examples; are listed as; finding the average monthly balance of credit card holders compared to the average monthly balance five years ago.
Comparing the failure rate of computers in a 20 hour test of quality specifications.
Discovering the proportion of people who would shop in a new district compared to the assumed population proportion.
Comparing the average product revenues this year to last years revenues.

The example in the text stands out a great deal to me because I just purchased a hybrid-vehicle. The sample was 100 vehicles, the researcher found that the mean miles per gallon for the car is 52.5 mp ...
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Theoretical work on “t distribution” was done by William
Sealy Gosset in 1980. He has published his findings under
the pen name “Student” because he was working with
“Guinness Son & Company, Dublin Brewery, Ireland” and
company didn’t permit employees to publish research
findings under their own names. That’s why it is called
Student’s t Test.
Student’s t Test
3. A t-test is an inferential statistic used to determine if
there is a statistically significant difference between
the means of two variables.
The t-test is a test used for hypothesis testing in
statistics.
Calculating a t-test requires three fundamental data
values including the difference between the mean
values from each data set, the standard deviation of
each group, and the number of data values.
T-tests can be dependent or independent.
Key Takeaways
4. Uses of t-test / Application
Student’s t-test is used when sample size is less than 30
Population standard deviation (𝜎) is unknown.
Compare the means of two groups on two samples.
When parameter of population are normal.
Correlation of coefficient in population is Zero.
5. Type of t-test
Investigate whether there’s a difference
within a group between two points in time
(within-subjects).
6. If the groups come from a single population (e.g.,
measuring before and after an experimental treatment),
perform a paired t-test. This is a within-subjects design.
Paired t-test
Type of t-test Cont..
8. If the groups come from two different populations (e.g.,
two different species, or people from two separate
cities), perform a two-sample t-test (independent t-test).
This is a between-subjects design.

10. If there is one group being compared against a standard
value (e.g., comparing the acidity of a liquid to a neutral
pH of 7), perform a one-sample t-test.
One-sample t-test
Type of t-test Cont..
11. If you only care whether the two populations are
different from one another, perform a two-tailed t-test.
If you want to know whether one population mean is
greater than or less than the other, perform a one-
tailed t-test.
One-tailed or two-tailed t-test
12. The following flowchart can be used to determine which
t-test to use based on the characteristics of the sample
sets. The key items to consider include the similarity of
the sample records, the number of data records in each
sample set, and the variance of each sample set.
Which t-test to Use
13.
14. Calculating a t-test requires three fundamental data values.
They include the difference between the mean values from
each data set, or the mean difference, the standard deviation
of each group, and the number of data values of each
group.
where x
̄ = mean of sample
μ = mean of population
n = sample size
s = standard deviation of sample
t-test Formula

𝒙−µ
𝒔
𝒏
15. The t-score
The t score is a ratio between the difference between
two groups and the difference within the groups.
Larger t scores = more difference between groups.
Smaller t score = more similarity between groups.
16. The p value is a number, calculated from a statistical
test, that describes how likely you are to have found a
particular set of observations if the null hypothesis
were true.
P values are used in hypothesis testing to help decide
whether to reject the null hypothesis. The smaller the
p value, the more likely you are to reject the null
hypothesis.
Understanding P-values
17. Degrees of freedom are the maximum number of logically
independent values, which may vary in a data sample.
Degrees of freedom are calculated by subtracting one from
the number of items within the data sample.
Degrees of Freedom
Formula:
where:
Df = Degrees of freedom
N = Sample size
Df = N −𝟏
18. The T-Distribution Table is available in one-tail and two-
tails formats. The former is used for assessing cases that
have a fixed value or range with a clear direction, either
positive or negative. For instance, what is the probability
of the output value remaining below -3, or getting more
than seven when rolling a pair of dice? The latter is used
for range-bound analysis, such as asking if the coordinates
fall between -2 and +2.
How is the t-distribution table used

20. Alok Restaurant near the railway station at Cuttack has been
having average sales of 500 tea cups per day. Because of the
development of bus stand nearby, it expects to increase its sales.
During the first 12 days after the start of the bus stand, the daily
sales were as under: 550, 570, 490, 615, 505, 580, 570, 460, 600,
580, 530, and 526
On the basis of this sample information, can one conclude that
Alok Restaurant’s sales have increased? Use 5 per cent level of
significance.
Example
21. Solution: Taking the null hypothesis that sales average 500 tea cups
per day and they have not increased unless proved, we can write:
H0 : μ = 500 cups per day
Ha : μ > 500 (as we want to conclude that sales have increased).
As the sample size is small and the population standard deviation is
not known, we shall use t-test assuming normal population and shall
work out the test statistic t as:
t =
𝑿−µ𝟎
𝑺𝟏∕ 𝒏
(To find 𝑋and s1 we make the following computations):

Hence,

24. As H1 is one-sided, we shall determine the rejection region
applying one-tailed test (in the right tail because H1 is of more than
type) at 5 per cent level of significance and it comes to as under,
using table of t-distribution for 11 degrees of freedom:
R : t > 1.796
The observed value of t is 3.558 which is in the rejection region
and thus H0 is rejected at 5 per cent level of significance and we
can conclude that the sample data indicate that Alok restaurant’s
sales have increased.
