Numerical measurements: means
Difference in average weight loss for those who diet compared to those who exercise to lose weight?
Difference is there between the mean foot lengths of men and women?
Population parameter 2 – 1 = difference between population means
Sample estimate x2 – x1 = difference between sample means
![Page 5: Week 10 Comparing Two Means or Proportions. Generalising from sample IndividualsMeasurementGroupsQuestion Children aged 10 Mark in maths test Boys & girls.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d195503460f949eed29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Categorical measurements: propns
Difference between the proportions that would quit smoking if taking the antidepressant buproprion (Zyban) versus wearing a nicotine patch?
Difference between proportion who have heart disease of men who snore and men who don’t snore?
Population parameter 2 – 1 = difference between population
proportions
Sample estimate p2 – p1 = difference between sample proportions

Requirement: independent samples
Random samples taken separately from 2 populations
Randomised experiment with 2 treatments
One random sample, but a categorical variable splits individuals into 2 groups.
Two samples are called independent samples when the measurements in one sample are not related to the measurements in the other sample.

Distribution of difference
In both cases, we need to find distribution of difference (p2 – p1) or
Independent samples >> difference of independent random variables.
We already know distns of the two parts — what is distn of their difference?
