- 0:09Now One More Concept and then we are
- 0:11done now how does the critical mean
- 0:14value and error risk change as Alpha
- 0:19changes so let's look at some
- 0:21relationships between several moving
- 0:23Parts here so remember our Alpha of 01
- 0:27had a zoc critical value of 2
- 0:3033 so we went ahead and substituted that
- 0:33into our equation and we came up with a
- 0:36sample mean of
- 0:393233 that falls right on our critical
- 0:43value of
- 0:462.33 Now with an alpha of
- 0:4905 our Z critical is
- 0:541.645 so we go ahead and substitute that
- 0:58into our equation and we come back with
- 1:01a sample mean of
- 1:0631645 so what's happening here so with
- 1:10an alpha of
- 1:1101 the sample mean that falls on our
- 1:15critical Z value is
- 1:183233 at 05 Alpha
- 1:2105 now it's
- 1:2531645 so it's going inward it's going
- 1:29inward towards the middle now what about
- 1:32an alpha of
- 1:33.10 in that case our Z critical value is
- 1:381.28 so we'll go ahead and substitute
- 1:40that back in and what do you think is
- 1:42going to
- 1:43happen well it should be
- 1:45lower and it is that is a sample mean of
- 1:523128 so what is happening to the actual
- 1:56sample mean that falls on the critical
- 2:00value as we change
- 2:02Alpha well it moves inward towards the
- 2:06middle it moves inward towards the
- 2:09hypothesized
- 2:11mean now how's the relative probability
- 2:14of type one in type 2 error change so
- 2:19with this Alpha of 01 we have a
- 2:22relatively low probability of type one
- 2:26error and I'll explain why that is here
- 2:28in a second now as we move up our type 1
- 2:32error increases the probability of type
- 2:351 error increases of course when we get
- 2:37to 010 and Alpha of 0.10 we have a
- 2:41relatively higher level of type 1
- 2:44probability error what about type two
- 2:48we'll see it's inverse to type 1 error
- 2:51so at the alpha of
- 2:5301 we have a relatively high probability
- 2:57of type two error that's why I say
- 2:58relative probability ility now again at
- 3:0105 it's medium and at an alpha of
- 3:050.1 it's a relatively low and again this
- 3:08is relative to each other not some
- 3:10absolute so again you can see the the
- 3:14relationship between type one and type
- 3:16two error as the alpha changes on the
- 3:20next slide we'll talk about why that
- 3:23is so let's look at this graphically and
- 3:26I call this the alpha effect so remember
- 3:29in Starbucks example we are only
- 3:31interested in the upper tail because it
- 3:34was a directional hypothesis we were
- 3:36interested in whether or not the average
- 3:39customer satisfaction score was greater
- 3:42than three remember three was average in
- 3:45our Liker scale so we're just looking at
- 3:48the upper tail now in the previous slide
- 3:51we looked at the effect of the alpha
- 3:53level on the sample mean that would
- 3:57align with each critical value value so
- 4:00one of the ones we looked at was the
- 4:02alpha
- 4:04of10 now remember what we're saying here
- 4:07we are saying that we expect 90% of our
- 4:10sample means to either be on or to the
- 4:13left of that red line and the red line
- 4:17in this case is a z critical value of
- 4:221.28 now of course that red line
- 4:25actually corresponded with a customer
- 4:28satisfaction score we talked about that
- 4:30in the previous slide but if we got that
- 4:34score or one that was lower than that
- 4:37then we would fail to reject our null
- 4:40hypothesis because it would be in the
- 4:43non-rejection region however if we got a
- 4:46sample mean above this critical value
- 4:49then we would reject the null hypothesis
- 4:53and then go on to the alternative and
- 4:55this pattern follows for each Alpha
- 4:57level so with an alpha of
- 5:0005 if we get a sample mean that's on or
- 5:03to the left of that green line we would
- 5:06fail to reject our null hypothesis and
- 5:09of course if the sample mean was above
- 5:11the green line then we would reject our
- 5:14null hypothesis and that Z critical
- 5:16value was
- 5:191.645 now for the alpha of
- 5:2101 we had a z critical value of
- 5:252.33 so again if the sample mean is on
- 5:28that orange line or to the left left we
- 5:30would fail to reject the null and if the
- 5:33sample mean is to the right of that
- 5:35critical value we would reject the null
- 5:39so you can see how the alpha levels
- 5:41affect the location of the critical
- 5:45values now how does this relate to
- 5:48error now a smaller Alpha creates a
- 5:52wider net a wider non-rejection region
- 5:58so you can see here that as the Alpha
- 6:00decreased the non-rejection region
- 6:03increased because the Orange Line there
- 6:06represents the largest non-rejection
- 6:09region so it will catch more means it's
- 6:13like a wider net that will catch more
- 6:16sample means and of course this leads to
- 6:20a smaller type one error rate because
- 6:24remember type one error is when we
- 6:28incorrectly
- 6:29reject the null
- 6:32hypothesis so this wider net keeps us
- 6:35from doing that as much but it comes at
- 6:39a price The Wider net may capture a mean
- 6:44that belongs to a different distribution
- 6:48that's off to the side in this case
- 6:51higher than the one we're looking at and
- 6:54of course that's called type two error
- 6:57so let me show you this actually in sort
- 6:59of graphical terms so let's say we get a
- 7:02critical value or a mean same thing that
- 7:05is represented by this blue dot here now
- 7:09if we're using an alpha of
- 7:1201 what's going to happen in our
- 7:15hypothesis well it's inside the
- 7:18nonrejection region therefore we would
- 7:21fail to reject the null
- 7:25hypothesis but what if this mean
- 7:29actually belongs to a
- 7:31distribution that's further up the scale
- 7:35maybe
- 7:36here now what's happened is that we have
- 7:40included that
- 7:43value inside our non-rejection region
- 7:46because it's so wide but we did so
- 7:50incorrectly it actually belongs to a
- 7:53distribution that's further up the scale
- 7:57so therefore we included it in in the
- 7:59non-rejection region when we should not
- 8:01have and that is type two error so you
- 8:05can see the tradeoff between the alpha
- 8:08level and the type one and type two
- 8:11error rates yes a smaller Alpha will
- 8:15give us a wider net to capture More
- 8:18Sample means therefore it will lower our
- 8:21type 1 error rate but because we're
- 8:23including sample means that are that are
- 8:26further up the
- 8:27distribution we're in increasing the
- 8:30risk that that value is actually part of
- 8:33a population distribution that's higher
- 8:36up that is beyond this smooth
- 8:39distribution we're looking at and see
- 8:42that is the nuanced relationship between
- 8:45Alpha type 1 error and type two
- 8:51error now one more thing and then we are
- 8:53done and this is called the P Value
- 8:56method now remember that based on our
- 8:59Alpha of 01 we know that 1% of our area
- 9:04the probability is in the upper tail
- 9:07past our z-critical value of
- 9:102.33 so we can see that down here in the
- 9:12lower right so
- 9:162.33 now in the P Value method we ask
- 9:20how much area or probability is above
- 9:24our test statistic which in this case is
- 9:282.
- 9:30.5 so we know that 1% of the area is to
- 9:34the right of our Z critical of
- 9:372.33 but in the P Value method we ask
- 9:40how much probability is to the right of
- 9:43our Z
- 9:46statistic Now using the Z table or Excel
- 9:49we can find that this is
- 9:530.00
- 9:5562 now since this is less than the alpha
- 9:58of
- 10:0001 we would reject the null hypothesis
- 10:04now it leads to the same decision so in
- 10:07either case we would reject the null we
- 10:10would reject it in the first case
- 10:12because the Z value is above 2.33 it's
- 10:162.5 but in the P value case we go ahead
- 10:18and find the area to the right of our
- 10:22test statistic of 2.5 and that is
- 10:240.62 Which is less than 01 so the same
- 10:28conclusion just a different way of
- 10:30getting to it now this is often referred
- 10:33to as the observed significance level
- 10:37and again depending on the study or the
- 10:39journal or whatever discipline you're in
- 10:41or whatever field you're in in business
- 10:44you may be required to actually report
- 10:46The observed significance level in most
- 10:49cases we just
- 10:50say that we rejected the null hypothesis
- 10:54at an alpha level of 01 it just depends
- 10:57on what you're writing in or how you're
- 10:59required to report it but this is again
- 11:01the P Value method same idea but we're
- 11:04finding the area to the right of our Z
- 11:07statistic not the Z critical
- 11:11value okay just a quick reminder about
- 11:14the procedure and then we are completely
- 11:16done always start with a well-developed
- 11:18clear research problem or question all
- 11:21the fancy statistics will not make a
- 11:23difference if it's a bad research
- 11:26question or problem so always think
- 11:28through the
- 11:29before collecting any bit of data always
- 11:33establish the hypothesis both the null
- 11:36and the
- 11:37alternative then determine the
- 11:39appropriate test that will allow you to
- 11:41test those hypothesis then of course
- 11:44select the sampling distribution the Z
- 11:46distribution if you know Sigma the T
- 11:49distribution if you are estimating it
- 11:51with the sample standard deviation then
- 11:54choose your type one error rate and
- 11:56again this was your personal choice the
- 11:59depending on maybe the field you're in
- 12:00there's a standard one that is chosen um
- 12:03or you want to strike a balance between
- 12:05type 1 and type two error so you might
- 12:06choose 05 that's the most common that I
- 12:10see um but you might see also 01 it can
- 12:13just
- 12:14depend now then State the decision rule
- 12:18based on the sampling distribution you
- 12:20are using and the type 1 error rate and
- 12:23things like that then and only then
- 12:26gather your sample data of course using
- 12:29quality sampling
- 12:31techniques then based on the sample data
- 12:34and the other information you've chosen
- 12:36calculate your test
- 12:39statistics now once you calculate the
- 12:41test statistic compare that to your
- 12:43decision Rule and then you will come to
- 12:46a conclusion as of whether to not to
- 12:49fail to reject the null or to reject the
- 12:51null and of course once you come to that
- 12:54conclusion you can then make real world
- 12:56practical decisions based on that
- 12:58conclusion
- 12:59and I will point out here real quickly
- 13:01that a statistically significant
- 13:05difference does not mean a practical
- 13:09difference those are two different
- 13:10things so you could have a statistical
- 13:13difference that in Practical terms is
- 13:16not really significant so how you report
- 13:19that in your place of work or whatever
- 13:22else it might be that will just depend
- 13:24on the requirements of the job
- 13:30okay so that wraps up our first video on
- 13:32hypothesis testing again in this case
- 13:35we're using a sing Single sample with
- 13:37known Sigma so we were given the
- 13:41population standard deviation therefore
- 13:43we used the Z distribution to find our
- 13:46critical values and then evaluate our
- 13:49hypotheses based on those of course in
- 13:52the next video we will look at single
- 13:54samples when we do not know Sigma and
- 13:57therefore have to estimate the
- 13:59population standard deviation using the
- 14:01sample standard deviation and of course
- 14:04in that case we will use the T
- 14:07distribution but I really wanted you to
- 14:09see in this video the relationship
- 14:10between several things so we talked
- 14:13about the relationship between Alpha the
- 14:17critical values that that produced based
- 14:19on this Z distribution and the tradeoff
- 14:22between Alpha type one error and type 2
- 14:26error now most people I know and work
- 14:28with chosen the alpha of
- 14:3005 because it's sort of the middle
- 14:32ground tradeoff between type 1 and type
- 14:352 error and it's a little bit easier to
- 14:37work with from memory to be honest um
- 14:40but again it just depends on the study
- 14:42you're doing the field you're working in
- 14:44um the sample size you might be working
- 14:46with because remember a larger sample
- 14:48size will pick up more minute
- 14:51differences now we haven't really talked
- 14:53about that but the larger the sample
- 14:55size the more likely or the more easily
- 14:58we can pick up smaller and smaller
- 15:01differences as to typically significant
- 15:04but again we'll talk about that as we go
- 15:06so just a few reminders if you're
- 15:08watching the video because you're
- 15:09struggling in a class stay positive and
- 15:11keep your head up I know you're smart
- 15:13many other people around you know you're
- 15:14talented so just hang with it you will
- 15:17get through it if you like the video
- 15:19please give it a thumbs up share it with
- 15:21classmates or colleagues or put it on a
- 15:23playlist that does encourage me to keep
- 15:24making them for you please feel free to
- 15:26follow me here on YouTube on Twitter on
- 15:29Google+ or LinkedIn it's always nice to
- 15:32hear from you the world is much too big
- 15:34and life is Much Too Short not to
- 15:36connect with others when we have the
- 15:37chance and finally just keep in mind
- 15:39that the fact that you're on here trying
- 15:40to learn trying to improve yourself
- 15:42trying to better yourself as a student
- 15:44or business person that's what really
- 15:47matters I firmly believe if you have the
- 15:49right learning process in place the
- 15:51results will take care of themselves so
- 15:54thank you very much for watching I wish
- 15:56you the best of luck in your studies and
- 15:58in your work and I look forward to
- 15:59seeing you again next time
