3.1 Design Of Experiments
(Outline of a randomized designs)
3
Completely randomized experimental designs: Individuals are randomly
assigned to groups, then the groups are randomly assigned to treatments.
Example 3.13, page 179
What are the effects of repeated exposure to an advertising message (digital
camera)? The answer may depend on the length of the ad and on how often it is
4
repeated. Outline the design of this experiment with the following information.



Subjects: 150 Undergraduate students.
Two Factors: length of the commercial (30 seconds and 90 seconds – 2 levels) and
repeat times (1, 3, or 5 times – 3 levels)
Response variables: their recall of the ad, their attitude toward the camera, and
their intention to purchase it. (see page 187 for the diagram.)
HWQ: 3.18,
3.30(b),3.32
3.1 Design Of Experiments (Block designs)
In a block, or stratified, design, subjects are divided into groups, or blocks,
prior to experiments to test hypotheses about differences between the groups.
5
The blocking, or stratification, here is by gender (blocking factor).

Ex: 3.17 (p182), 3.18
HWQ: 3.47(a,b), 3.126.
3.1 Design Of Experiments (Matched pairs designs)
6 Matched
pairs: Choose pairs of subjects that are closely matched—e.g., same sex,
height, weight, age, and race. Within each pair, randomly assign who will receive
which treatment.
It is also possible to just use a single person, and give the two treatments to this
person over time in random order. In this case, the “matched pair” is just the same
person at different points in time.
The most closely
matched pair
studies use
identical twins.

When n is very large, s is a very good estimate of  and the
corresponding t distributions are very close to the normal distribution.
The t distributions become wider for smaller sample sizes, reflecting the
lack of precision in estimating  from s.

One sample confidence interval and

Review: Confidence levels
Confidence intervals contain the population mean  in C% of samples.
Different areas under the curve give different confidence levels C.
z*:
z* is related to the chosen
confidence level C.

C
C is the area under the standard
normal curve between −z* and z*.

The one sample Z-confidence
interval is thus:

Example: For an 80% confidence
level C, 80% of the normal curve’s
area is contained in the interval.

1.
State H0 and Ha
2.
State the level of significance (Usually α is 5% ).
3.
Calculate the test statistic, ASSUMING THE NULL HYPOTHESIS IS TRUE
4.
5.
Find the P-value, that is the probability (assuming H0 is true) that the
test statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than
the actually observed (in the direction of Ha).
Draw Conclusion:
If P-value ≤ α, then we reject H0 (Enough evidence).
If P-value >α, then we do not reject H0 (No Enough evidence).
Note: The two possible conclusions are rejecting or not rejecting H0.

at least as extreme, in the direction of Ha, as that of our random
sample.

The margin of error depends on z.
MOE  z  
Higher confidence C implies a larger
margin of error m (thus less precision
in our estimates).

Example 6: Finding sample size


In a clinical study with certain # of patients, a new medicine
can on average prolong 4 years of life. Suppose the SD of all
cancer patients is 0.75.
Q: How large a sample pf cancer patients would be needed
to estimate the mean within ±0.1 years with 90% confidence?
Z*=1.645; MOE=(1.645)*(0.75)/sqrt(n)=0.1; so n=(1.645*0.75/0.1)^2=152.2139.
We will take n=153.

times they contain a placebo. Depression was assessed.

Portland Cement Formulation (page 26)
An engineer is studying the formulation of a
Portland cement mortar. He has added a
polymer latex emulsion during mixing to
determine if this impacts the curing time and
tension bond strength of the mortar.
The experimenter prepared 10 samples of the
original formulation and 10 samples of the
modified formulation.
Q: How many factor(s)? How many levels?
Factor: mortar formulation;

How “unusual” is the value Z0 = -2.09 if the two population means
are equal?
It turns out that 95% of the area under the standard normal curve
(probability) falls between the values Z0.025 = 1.96 and - Z0.025 = 1.96. (that is: the critical value Z*=1.96.)
So the value Z0 = -2.09 is pretty unusual in that it would happen less
that 5% of the time if the population means were equal

Randomized designs Case 1: Assume σ1 and σ2 are known:

So if the variances were known we would conclude that we should
reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level of significance
H 0 : 1  2
H1 : 1   2
and conclude that the alternative hypothesis is true.
This is called a fixed significance level test, because we compare the value
of the test statistic to a critical value (1.96) that we selected in advance
before running the experiment.
The standard normal distribution is the reference distribution for the test.
Another way to do this that is very popular is to use the P-value approach.
The P-value can be thought of as the observed significance level.
For the Z-test, it is easy to find the P-value.

Case 1: Assume σ1 and σ2 are known:
let σ1 = σ2 = 0.30.

Find the probability above Z0 = -2.09
from the table.
This is 1 – 0.98169 = 0.01832
Z0.025 = 1.96
The P-value is twice this probability, or
0.03662.
So we would reject the null hypothesis
at any level of significance that is less
than or equal to 0.03662.
Typically 0.05 is used as the cutoff.
In R, we use
2*pnorm(-2.09) =0.0366178

The two-sample Z-test just described would work perfectly if we
knew the two population variances.
Since we usually don’t know the true population variances, what
would happen if we just plugged in the sample variances?
The answer is that if the sample sizes were large enough (say both
n> 30 or 40) the Z-test would work just fine. It is a good largesample test for the difference in means.
But many times that isn’t possible (as Gosset wrote in 1908, “…but
what if the sample size is small…?).
It turns out that if the sample size is small we can no longer use the
N(0,1) distribution as the reference distribution for the test.

William Sealy Gosset (1876, 1937)
Gosset's interest in barley cultivation led
him to speculate that design of
experiments should aim, not only at
improving the average yield, but also at
breeding varieties whose yield was
insensitive (robust) to variation in soil and
climate.
Developed the t-test (1908)
Gosset was a friend of both Karl Pearson
and R.A. Fisher, an achievement, for each
had a monumental ego and a loathing for
the other.
Gosset was a modest man who cut short
an admirer with the comment that “Fisher
would have discovered it all anyway.”





A value of t0 between:
–2.101 and 2.101 is
consistent with equality of
means.
It is possible for the means
to be equal and t0 to either
exceed 2.101 or below
–2.101, but it would be a
“rare event” … leads to the
conclusion that the means
are different.
Could also use the P-value
approach.

The P-value is the area (probability) in the tails of the t-distribution beyond -2.20 + the
probability beyond +2.20 (it’s a two-sided test).
The P-value is a measure of how unusual the value of the test statistic is given that the null
hypothesis is true.
The P-value the risk of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis of equal means (it measures
rareness of the event).
The exact P-value in our problem is P = 0.042 (found from a computer).

Approximating the P-value




Our t-table only gives probabilities greater than positive values
of t. So take the absolute value of t0 = -2.20 or |t0|= 2.20.
Now with 18 degrees of freedom, find the values of t in the
table that bracket this value.
These are 2.101 < |t0|= 2.20 < 2.552. The right-tail
probability for t = 2.101 is 0.025 and for t = 2.552 is 0.01.
Double these probabilities because this is a two-sided test.
Therefore the P-valuemust lie between these two probabilities, or

0.05 <P-value < 0.02

These are upper and lower bounds on the P-value.

We know that the actual P-value is 0.042.

First, find the center of Median by qf(0.5, n1-1, n2-1).
