Hypothesis test, Difference of paired values
On your USB drive, create a new directory, copy model.R to that directory,
rename the file in the new directory, double click on the file to open Rstudio.
Then copy all of the text below the line and paste it into your Rstudio editor pane.
# line 1
# Look at testing the null hypothesis that
# the mean difference of PAIRED data is zero
# against the alternative that the mean difference in
# the pairs is greater than 0,
# when the population standard deviation is unknown.
# Perform the test at the 0.025 level of significance.
#
# We will start by generating a population, but the
# data appears as paired values

# Now that we have our population of pairs

# of values

# ## such we will perform a different ##
# ## test of the null hypothesis. ##

# We really want to test the hypothesis that
# mean difference in the pairs, computed as
# the second value - the first value is 0
# so we will form a new data set based upon
# samp_2 - samp_1
samp_3 <- samp_2 - samp_1
samp_3

# then our best point estimate is the mean(samp_3)

#
# Our problem now resolves to the hypothesis that
# the population mean = 0 by looking at the mean of samp_3.
# But the means of samples of size n_1 are
# disributed as a Student's-t with n_1 - 1 degrees of
# freedom.

# find the t value with 2.5% of the area to its right

#
# reject H0 if the sample mean is greater than
# that critical value
#
# or to use the attained significance approach,
# we find the probability that we get a sample
# mean as strange or stranger than what we found

# rather than take the long way for this we could just
