8.19 Distribution of 't' for comparison of two samples Means Independent samples

Let x1i ( i = 1, 2, 3, ....., n1 ) and x2i ( i = 1, 2, 3, ....., n2 ) be two random independent samples drawn from two normal populations with mean m1 and m2 respectively but with same variance s2. Let and be sample means and let

Then the static t is given by

is called the pooled estimate of the population variance.


Example Two types of drugs were used on 5 and 7 patients for reducing their weights in Jerry’s 'slim-beauty' health club. Drug A was allopathic and drug B was Herbal. The decrease in the weight after using drugs for six months was as follows :

Drug A :   10   12   13   11   14

Drug B :     8    9   12   14    15    10   9

Is there a significant difference in the efficiency of the two drug ? If not which drug should you buy ?

Solution:
Let the null hypothesis Ho : m1 = m2 or Ho : m1 - m2 = 0.

Alternative hypothesis Ha : m1 ¹ m2 or Ha : m1 - m2 ¹ 0

Thus the null hypothesis is accepted. Hence there is no significance in the efficiency of the two drugs. Since drug B is Herbal and there is no difference in efficiency between the two with no side effects, we should buy the Herbal drug.
