Question 1a
Let u1=Aspirin A
let u2= Aspirin B
Null hypothesis Ho:u1=u2 that is u1=u2 (mean of aspirin A equals to mean of aspirin B)
Alternative hypothesis Ho:u1 != u2 that is u1<u2 or u2>u1 (mean of aspirin A is not equals to mean of aspirin B)
Question 1b
AspirinA<-c(15,26,13,28,17,20,7,36,12,18)
AspirinB<-c(13,20,10,21,17,22,5,30,7,11)
cor(AspirinA,AspirinB)
## [1] 0.9338095
t.test(AspirinA,AspirinB,paired = TRUE)
##
## Paired t-test
##
## data: AspirinA and AspirinB
## t = 3.6742, df = 9, p-value = 0.005121
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 1.383548 5.816452
## sample estimates:
## mean of the differences
## 3.6
Aspirin A and Aspirin B is highly correlated with correlation of 0.9338095
We are rejecting Ho: u1:u2 and stating that there is a difference between Aspirin A and Aspirin B
p value is 0.005121
Question 1c
t.test(AspirinA,AspirinB,alternative = "two.sided",paired = FALSE)
##
## Welch Two Sample t-test
##
## data: AspirinA and AspirinB
## t = 0.9802, df = 17.811, p-value = 0.3401
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## -4.12199 11.32199
## sample estimates:
## mean of x mean of y
## 19.2 15.6
Our p-value would be p-value = 0.3401(Not significant)
which means what we would fail to reject Ho: u1=u1
Mean of Aspirin A is equals to mean of Aspirin B
Question 2a
u1= active exercise has effect it takes to shorten the time it takes an
infant to walk alone
u2 = No exercise has no effect it takes to shorten the time it takes an infant to walk alone
Null hypothesis Ho:u1=u2 that is u1=u2 (mean of active exercise equals to mean of no-execise )
Alternative hypothesis Ho:u1 != u2 that is u1<u2 or u2>u1 (mean of active exercise is not equals to mean of active exercise)
Question 2b
activeexercise<-c(9.50,10.00,9.75,9.75,9.00,13.0)
noexercise<-c(11.50,12.00,13.25,11.50,13.00,9.00)
qqnorm(activeexercise,main="activeexercise")
qqline(noexercise)
qqnorm(noexercise,main="noexercise")
qqline(noexercise)
boxplot(activeexercise,noexercise)
We want to use a non-parametric method for analyzing our data because we have a small sample size of the collected data and therefore we cannot claim normality and constant variance.
Question 1c
wilcox.test(activeexercise,noexercise,,alternative = "less")
## Warning in wilcox.test.default(activeexercise, noexercise, , alternative =
## "less"): cannot compute exact p-value with ties
##
## Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction
##
## data: activeexercise and noexercise
## W = 9, p-value = 0.08523
## alternative hypothesis: true location shift is less than 0
The p-value using the Mann-Whitney U-test is 0.08523 and our reference p-value is 0.05
0.08523>0.05
We are failing to reject the null hypothesis that there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the group differs in the typical time required to first walking
