Help on data analysis
by aiden_gershen on 16th October 2008I need some help figuring out the null hypothesis the alternative hypothesis, Test Statistic and the critical value and write a conclusion. of a set of days in two groups.
Here is the breakdown
1. Write the null and alternative hypotheses.
2. Calculate the test statistic.
3. Determine the critical value whether or not there has been an improvement.
4. Determine if there has been an improvement from year 1 to year 2.
6. Write up your conclusion.
5. Test at 95% confidence.

1) Null hypothesis: There has been no change (no imp.) from year 1 to year 2
Alternative hypothesis: There has been imp. from yr 1 to yr. 2
2a)Test statistic: student's t, alpha risk: 0.05, one sided test
3)If the absolute value of calculated t is greater than the critical value, which is t-value for degrees of freedom of 20 for alpha of 0.05 one sided, there has been improvement from yr. 1 to yr. 2. Not otherwise.
Yeah, I can help
Did you still need help?
I can help if you still need it.
I don't know if this is homework or not, but I can give you the formulas to figure this stuff out. Not much data so it should only take a few minutes.
Control chart Question
How do I determine the "possible" points under a UCL if the UCL IS 42.75-
is it zero + 42.75 = 43 possible points that are in control in a chart?
