Part 15: Hypothesis Tests15-3/18
A Test of Independence
In the credit card example, are Own/Rent and Accept/Reject independent?
Hypothesis: Prob(Ownership) and Prob(Acceptance) are independent
Formal hypothesis, based only on the laws of probability: Prob(Own,Accept) = Prob(Own)Prob(Accept) (and likewise for the other three possibilities.
Rejection region: Joint frequencies that do not look like the products of the marginal frequencies.

Independence Test
Step 2: Expected proportions assuming independence: If the factors are independent, then the joint proportions should equal the product of the marginal proportions.
[Rent,Reject] 0.54404 x 0.21906 = 0.11918 (.13724) [Rent,Accept] 0.54404 x 0.78094 = 0.42486 (.40680) [Own,Reject] 0.45596 x 0.21906 = 0.09988 (.08182) [Own,Accept] 0.45596 x 0.78094 = 0.35606 (.37414)

ect the hypothesis.
(This is a "chi squared statistic.")
(0.13724 0.11918) (0.40680 0.42486)
0.11918 0.4248613,444(0.08182 0.09988) (0.37414 0.35608)
0.09988 0.35608 = 103.33013
Part 15: Hypothesis Tests15-7/18
When is Chi Squared Large?
For a 2x2 table, the critical chi squared value for α = 0.05 is 3.84.
(Not a coincidence, 3.84 = 1.962) Our 103.33 is large, so the hypothesis of
independence between the acceptance decision and the own/rent status is rejected.

Computing the Critical Value
CalcProbability Distributions Chi-square
The value reported is 3.84146.
For an R by C Table, D.F. = (R-1)(C-1)

Analyzing Default
Do renters default more often (at a different rate) than owners?
To investigate, we study the cardholders (only)
We have the raw observations in the data set.

Hypothesis Test
Part 15: Hypothesis Tests15-14/18
In my sample of 210 travelers between Sydney and Melbourne, it appears that there is a relationship between income and the decision whether to fly or not. Do the data suggest that the mode choice and income are independent?

Treatment Effects in Clinical Trials
Does Phenogyrabluthefentanoel (Zorgrab) work?
Investigate: Carry out a clinical trial. N+0 = “The placebo effect” N+T – N+0 = “The treatment effect” Is N+T > N+0 (significantly)?
Placebo Drug Treatment
No Effect N00 N0T
Positive Effect N+0 N+T

Age and Sex are usually relevant as well. How can all these factors be accounted for at the same time?
