Minitab and Excel can be used to compute p-values for the z, t, 2, and F statistics that are used in hypothesis tests As discussed in the text, only approximate p-values for the t, 2, and F statistics can be obtained by using tables This appendix is helpful to a person who has computed the test statistic by hand, or by other means, and wishes to use computer software to compute the exact p-value Using Minitab Minitab can be used to provide the cumulative probability associated with the z, t, 2, and F test statistics So the lower tail p-value is obtained directly The upper tail p-value is computed by subtracting the lower tail p-value from The two-tailed p-value is obtained by doubling the smaller of the lower and upper tail p-values The z test statistic We use the Hilltop Coffee lower tail hypothesis test in Section 9.3 as an illustration; the value of the test statistic is z ϭ Ϫ2.67 The Minitab steps used to compute the cumulative probability corresponding to z ϭ Ϫ2.67 follow Step Step Step Step Select the Calc menu Choose Probability Distributions Choose Normal When the Normal Distribution dialog box appears: Select Cumulative probability Enter in the Mean box Enter in the Standard deviation box Select Input Constant Enter Ϫ2.67 in the Input Constant box Click OK Minitab provides the cumulative probability of 0038 This cumulative probability is the lower tail p-value used for the Hilltop Coffee hypothesis test For an upper tail test, the p-value is computed from the cumulative probability provided by Minitab as follows: p-value ϭ Ϫ cumulative probability For instance, the upper tail p-value corresponding to a test statistic of z ϭ Ϫ2.67 is Ϫ 0038 ϭ 9962 The two-tailed p-value corresponding to a test statistic of z ϭ Ϫ2.67 is times the minimum of the upper and lower tail p-values; that is, the two-tailed p-value corresponding to z ϭ Ϫ2.67 is 2(.0038) ϭ 0076 The t test statistic We use the Heathrow Airport example from Section 9.4 as an illustra- tion; the value of the test statistic is t ϭ 1.84 with 59 degrees of freedom The Minitab steps used to compute the cumulative probability corresponding to t ϭ 1.84 follow Step Select the Calc menu Step

www.downloadslide.net Computing p-Values Using Minitab and Excel 1077 Step Choose t Step When the t Distribution dialog box appears: Select Cumulative probability Enter 59 in the Degrees of freedom box Select Input Constant Enter 1.84 in the Input Constant box Click OK Minitab provides a cumulative probability of 9646, and hence the lower tail p-value ϭ 9646 The Heathrow Airport example is an upper tail test; the upper tail p-value is Ϫ 9646 ϭ 0354 In the case of a two-tailed test, we would use the minimum of 9646 and 0354 to compute p-value ϭ 2(.0354) ϭ 0708 test statistic We use the St Louis Metro Bus example from Section 11.1 as an illustration; the value of the test statistic is ϭ 28.18 with 23 degrees of freedom The Minitab steps used to compute the cumulative probability corresponding to ϭ 28.18 follow The Step Step Step Step Select the Calc menu Choose Probability Distributions Choose Chi-Square When the Chi-Square Distribution dialog box appears: Select Cumulative probability Enter 23 in the Degrees of freedom box Select Input Constant Enter 28.18 in the Input Constant box Click OK Minitab provides a cumulative probability of 7909, which is the lower tail p-value The upper tail p-value ϭ Ϫ the cumulative probability, or Ϫ 7909 ϭ 2091 The two-tailed pvalue is times the minimum of the lower and upper tail p-values Thus, the two-tailed p-value is 2(.2091) ϭ 4182 The St Louis Metro Bus example involved an upper tail test, so we use p-value ϭ 2091 The F test statistic We use the Dullus County Schools example from Section 11.2 as an illustration; the test statistic is F ϭ 2.40 with 25 numerator degrees of freedom and 15 denominator degrees of freedom The Minitab steps to compute the cumulative probability corresponding to F ϭ 2.40 follow Step Step Step Step Select the Calc menu Choose Probability Distributions Choose F When the F Distribution dialog box appears: Select Cumulative probability Enter 25 in the Numerator degrees of freedom box Enter 15 in the Denominator degrees of freedom box Select Input Constant Enter 2.40 in the Input Constant box Click OK Minitab provides the cumulative probability and hence a lower tail p-value ϭ 9594 The upper tail p-value is Ϫ 9594 ϭ 0406 Because the Dullus County Schools example is a two-tailed test, the minimum of 9594 and 0406 is used to compute p-value ϭ 2(.0406) ϭ 0812 Copyright 2014 Nelson

Excel Using Excel WEB file p-Value Excel functions and formulas can be used to compute p-values associated with the z, t, 2, and F test statistics We provide a template in the data file entitled p-Value for use in computing these p-values Using the template, it is only necessary to enter the value of the test statistic and, if necessary, the appropriate degrees of freedom Refer to Figure F.1 as we describe how the template is used For users interested in the Excel functions and formulas being used, just click on the appropriate cell in the template The z test statistic We use the Hilltop Coffee lower tail hypothesis test in Section 9.3 as an illustration; the value of the test statistic is z ϭ Ϫ2.67 To use the p-value template for this hypothesis test, simply enter Ϫ2.67 into cell B6 (see Figure F.1) After doing so, p-values for all three types of hypothesis tests will appear For Hilltop Coffee, we would use the lower tail p-value ϭ 0038 in cell B9 For an upper tail test, we would use the p-value in cell B10, and for a two-tailed test we would use the p-value in cell B11 The t test statistic We use the Heathrow Airport example from Section 9.4 as an illustra- tion; the value of the test statistic is t ϭ 1.84 with 59 degrees of freedom To use the p-value template for this hypothesis test, enter 1.84 into cell E6 and enter 59 into cell E7 (see Figure F.1) After doing so,
