1. A researcher reports that the average income of dentists in Metro Manila is more than P42,000 per month. A sample of 30 dentists has a mean salary of P43,800. At = 0.05, test the claim that dentists earn more than P42,000 per month. The standard deviation is P5,400. Solution. H0 : P42,000 and H1: P42,000(claim). Z=

There is enough evidence to support the claim that dentists in Metro Manila earn more than P42,000 per month. 2. A survey was conducted of students from the Princeton public school system to determine if the incidence of hungry children was consistent in two schools located in lower-income areas. A random sample of 80 elementary students from school A found that 23% did not have breakfast before coming to school. A random sample of 180 elementary students from school B found that 7% did not have breakfast before coming to school. H0: There is no statistically significant difference between the proportion of students in school A not eating breakfast and the proportion of students in school B not eating breakfast. H1: There is a statistically significant difference between the proportion of students in school A not eating breakfast and the proportion of students in school B not eating breakfast. Z = 1.96

Since the test statistic 3.721 exceeds the critical value of 1.96, there is a statistically significant difference between the proportion of students in school A not eating breakfast and the proportion of students in school B not eating breakfast.
