Paired t Test
Paired data typically come from a before/after experiment.
In the paired t test, the difference between x1 and x2 is measured
as d = x1 x2
The mean and standard deviation for the differences d are given
below.

Pooled Proportion
If H0 is true, there is no difference between
1 and 2, so the samples are pooled (or averaged) in order to
estimate the common population proportion.

LO8 10.7 Comparing Two Variances
LO8: Carry out a test of two variances using the F distribution
Format of Hypotheses
To test whether two population means are equal, we may also
need to test whether two population variances are equal.

LO8 10.7 Comparing Two Variances
The F Test
If the test statistic is far below 1 or above 1, we would reject the
hypothesis of equal population variances.
The numerator s12 has degrees of freedom df1 = n1 1 and the
denominator s22 has degrees of freedom df2 = n2 1.
The F distribution is
skewed with the mean > 1
and its mode < 1.

Assumptions of the F Test
The F test assumes that the populations being sampled are
normal.
It is sensitive to non-normality of the sampled populations.
MINITAB reports both the F test and an alternative Levenes test
and p-values.
