23 december 2021
Main objective: knowing how to construct a test for the difference between two means if the assumptions for a
parametric test are not fulfilled. To realize this, we ask the following questions
- How can we investigate normality?
- What can we do when the assumptions for the t-test of two means are not fulfilled?
- When can we use the Wilcoxon rank sum test? + execute it
- When can we use the Wilcoxon signed rank test? + execute it
o When can we use the Kruskal Wallis test? > lecture 11

,20.4. a confidence interval for the difference between two means.
Imagine: a researcher wants to know if people bid more/less money when they buy a camera from their friends, in
comparison with buying a camera from a stranger. You can find this:
- Mean of bids in the group of buying from friends: 281,88
- Mean of bids in the group of buying from strangers: 211,43
This is from a sample. But how big a difference should we expect in general? Comparing two means is just like
comparing two proportions.
- The parameter of interest is the difference between the two means. Mu1 – mu2.
- The statistic of interest is ybar 1 – ybar 2. We’ll start with this statistic to build a confidence interval and
we’ll use the same standard deviation and sampling distribution as we did for the hypothesis test.
To find “the standard deviation – of the samplings distribution of the difference between the two independent
sample means” we add their variances and then take the square root. So this leads to:
In this notation we use sigma. But ofcourse we don’t know it. So we use the estimates, s1 and s2. Using the
estimates gives us the standard error.
We use the standard error to judge how big the difference really is. Because we are estimating, again we will use
students T model.
The confidence interval we build is called a two-sample t-interval (for the difference in means).
The corresponding hypothesis test is called a two-sample t-test.
The interval looks just like the ones we’ve seen before (the statistics +/- as estimated margin of error)
We are still missing the degrees of freedom we need when using the students T. This formula is strange.
** the deep secret is that the sampling model isn’t really students T, but only something close. The trick is by using
a special degrees of freedom value, we can make it close to students T model. The adjustment formula is
straightforward but doesn’t help our understanding much. The formula is on the bottom of page 641. In the formula
sheet that Harry gave us, its denoted as DF = min (n1-1 : n2-1)
A sampling distribution model for the difference between two means
When conditions are met, the sampling distribution of the standardized sample difference between the means of
two independent groups
Can be modelled by a students t model. With a number of degrees freedom found with a special formula. We
estimate the standard error with

, Assumptions and conditions
This test is sometimes called the two independent samples t-test, because it is only appropriate when the responses
of the two groups are independent from each other. No statistical test can verify this assumption. You have to think
about how the data were collected.
- Independence assumption
o Independence condition. Within each group, individual responses should be independent of each
other. Knowing one’s response should provide no information about other responses.
o Randomization condition. If the responses are selected with randomization, their independence
is likely.
o Independent groups assumption: the responses in the two groups we are comparing must also be
independent of each other. Knowing how one group responds should not provide information
about the other group. Usually, the independence of the groups from each other is evident from
the way the data are collected
▪ Violation is for the groups to be paired
o When we have quantitative data: check for outliers, skewness, multiple modes and other
surprises. We check this for each group.
- Normal population assumption. If you are comparing the means of two groups then (as we did before
with students t-models) you must assume that the underlying populations are each Normally distributed.
o Nearly normal condition for both groups. A violation of either one violates the condition. The
bigger the group, the less problematic a slightly skewed histogram is. When both groups are big
enough, the Central Limit Theorem forms an escape.
A two-sample t-interval for the difference between means
When the conditions are met, we are ready to find the confidence interval for: the difference between means of
two independent groups (mu1 – mu2). The confidence interval is
Where the standard error is the difference of the means is
The critical value t (t*) depends on the particular confidence level (C) that you specify and on the number of
degrees of freedom, which we get from the sample sized and a special formula. But in this course by Harry’s
formula of DF = min (n1-1 : n2-1)
