Hypothesis Testing - For Variance

This document discusses hypothesis testing for variance. It provides formulas and examples to test if two variances are equal or if one is larger than the other. The examples show assigning sample groups to indices, stating the null and alternative hypotheses, finding the test statistic F, determining the critical value from F tables based on the degrees of freedom and significance level, and making a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on comparing the test statistic to the critical value. In both examples provided, the test statistic is less than the critical value so the null hypothesis is not rejected, meaning there is not sufficient evidence of a difference in variances between the groups.

Hypothesis Testing for Variance

Rumus-rumus:

s 21
 F= 2
s2

o df for numerator=n1−1

o df for denumerator =n2−1

Caution: Always assign index “1” to the sample (population) with the largest standard deviation.

Contoh soal:

 Arbitron Media Research Inc. conducted a study of the iPod listening habits of men and women.
One facet of the study involved the mean listening time. It was discovered that the mean
listening time for men was 35 minutes per day. The standard deviation of the sample of the 11
men studied was 10 minutes per day. The mean listening time for the 13 women studied was
also 35 minutes, but the standard deviation of the sample was 12 minutes. At the 0.10
significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the variation in the listening
times for men and women?

Penyelesaian:

 Diketahui:
Perhatikan, karena standar deviasi dari sample wanita (12) lebih besar dari pria (10), maka
indeks “1” diberikan kepada wanita dan indeks “2” kepada pria.
 n1 =13 n2 =11
 x́ 1=35 minutes x́ 2=35 minutes
 s1=12 minutes s2=10 minutes

 Ditanya: Apakah σ 1 ≠ σ 2?

 Solusi
1. Hypotheses:
 H 0 :σ 21=σ 22
 H 1 : σ 21 ≠ σ 22

2. Significance level:
 α =0.1
3. Test Statistics:
s 21
 F= 2
s2
 df 1 ( numerator )=n1−1=13−1=12
 df 2 ( denumerator ) =n2−1=11−1=10

4. Decision Rule:

Dari tanda di H1 dapat dilihat bahwa ini tes two-tailed. Informasi tentang nilai F critical
diperoleh dari tabel F Distribution. Karena two-tailed, maka untuk mengidentifikasi tabel mana
yang digunakan nilai significance level perlu dibagi dua. Untuk one-tailed test nilai significance
level tidak perlu dibagi dua.

Untuk kasus ini, significance level = 0.1, maka gunakanlah tabel dengan judul α =0.05 .
Pada tabel tersebut cari nilai Fcritical di dalam cell yang ditandai dengan kolom
df 1 ( numerator )=12 dan baris df 2 ( denumerator ) =10.

Rejection Area
Acceptance Area
α = 0.05

Fcritical = 2.91

Aturan yang ditetapkan, Ho ditolak jika F (sample) > F critical =2.91

5. Decision

s 1 122
F= 2 = 2 =1.44
s 2 10

Karena F (sample) < Fcritical , maka Ho tidak dapat ditolak (F dari sample berada di Acceptance
Area).

6. Interpretation

Pada tingkat significance level 10%, tidak cukup bukti untuk menyatakan bahwa variasi
lama waktu menggunakan ipod dari populasi wanita berbeda dengan populasi pria.
Contoh soal:

 A stockbroker at Critical Securities reported that the mean rate of return of a sample of 10
oil stocks was 12.6% with a standard deviation of 3.9%. The mean rate of return on a sample
of 8 utility stocks was 10.9% with a standard deviation of 3.5%. At the 0.05 significance level,
can we conclude that there is more variation in the oil stocks?

Penyelesaian:

 Diketahui:
Perhatikan, karena standar deviasi dari sample oil stocks (3.9%) lebih besar dari utility stocks
(3.5%), maka indeks “1” diberikan kepada oil stocks dan indeks “2” kepada utility stocks.
 n1 =10 n2 =8
 x́ 1=12.6 % x́ 2=10.9 %
 s1=3.9 % s2=3.5 %

 Ditanya: Apakah σ 1 > σ 2?

 Solusi
1. Hypotheses:
 H 0 :σ 21=σ 22
 H 1 : σ 21 ≠ σ 22

2. Significance level:
 α =0.05

3. Test Statistics:
s 21
 F= 2
s2
 df 1 ( numerator )=n1−1=10−1=9
 df 2 ( denumerator ) =n2−1=8−1=7

4. Decision Rule:
Dari tanda di H1 dapat dilihat bahwa ini tes one-tailed. Informasi tentang nilai F critical
diperoleh dari tabel F Distribution. Karena one-tailed, maka untuk mengidentifikasi tabel mana
yang digunakan nilai significance level tidak perlu dibagi dua.

Untuk kasus ini, significance level = 0.05, maka gunakanlah tabel dengan judul α =0.05 .
Pada tabel tersebut cari nilai Fcritical di dalam cell yang ditandai dengan kolom
df 1 ( numerator )=9 dan baris df 2 ( denumerator ) =7.

Fcritical = 3.68

Aturan yang ditetapkan, Ho ditolak jika F (sample) > F critical =3.68.

5. Decision

s 21 3.9 % 2
F= 2 = 2
=1.24
s 2 3.5 %

Karena F (sample) < Fcritical , maka Ho tidak dapat ditolak (F dari sample berada di Acceptance
Area).

6. Interpretation

Pada tingkat significance level 5%, tidak cukup bukti untuk menyatakan bahwa oil stocks
lebih bervariasi daripada utility stocks.
