Hello, I have the following problem.
----------------------------- A user T has a coin with head or tails and we want to estimate the probability of head. when user A goes to T, he tosses the coin Na times giving a binary 1010... trace (1=heads, 0=tails). when user B goes to T, he tosses the coin Nb times giving a binary 1010...trace (1=heads, 0=tails). Now, A takes the mean Mua = (1+0+1+...)/Na (essentially the probability of heads) B does the same, Mub = (1+0+1....)/Nb I want to test the hypothesis H0: Mua not equals Mub H1: Mua equals Mub --------------------------------- I wanted to know if this falls under "inference from two dependent or independent samples" and what test statistic I must use ? Since I am a novice at statistics, Can I refer to any textbook / webpages, etc to find out more ? thanks, vijay . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
