LESSON 1
Some Key Concepts of Tests of Hypothesis
This part of the module discusses about some key concepts of tests of hypothesis. It
includes the null and alternative hypotheses, level of significance, rejection region, and the
types of errors in hypothesis testing. There are activities following every discussion which
were designed to test your understanding about the discussion.
Hypothesis testing is a decision-making process of evaluating claims about a
population based on the characteristic of a sample from that population. It decides whether
to reject or accept the null hypothesis. Some uses the following decisions: the null
hypothesis is rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis. Acceptance implies that the
null hypothesis is true. Failure to reject implies that the data are not sufficient enough to
reject the null hypothesis. In this module, your decision either reject the null hypothesis or
the data are not sufficient enough to reject the null hypothesis. Testing hypothesis follows
the following steps below.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:

LESSON 1.3
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
The level of significance, denoted by the Greek letter alpha α, is a probability of rejecting a
true null hypothesis. In public health research, alpha is usually 0.01 or 1%. In social science,
alphaαis usually 0.05 or 5% and 0.10 or 10% in other studies. This implies that there is 1%,
5%, or 10% probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis. Further, it implies that the result
has 99%, 95%, or 90% chance of being true, respectively.

α
A. Read and understand the given statements below. Determine the value of α or based
2
on the alternative hypothesis in decimal form. Write your answer in mathematical symbol in
your notebook.
1. In 2015, it was recorded that around 34% of the population in 2015 were not married. A
researcher surveyed a random sample of 500 couples. He found out that 18% of them were living
together but unmarried. Test at 5% significance level that the current percentage of unmarried
couples is different from 34%.
2. An average construction worker hourly rate pay in the Philippines is Php 62.50 with a standard
deviation of Php 6.01. A random sample of 20 manufacturing workers were asked on their hourly
rate and found out that they had an average of Php 50 hourly rate pay with a standard deviation of
Php 5.00. Construct a 90% confidence interval that the average hourly rate for construction
workers is higher than the average hourly rate for manufacturing workers.
3. A chemist invented an additive to increase the lifespan of rechargeable battery. The said

students were asked and found out that the mean number of years to finish their basic education
is 12 with a standard deviation of 2 years. Test the hypothesis at 93% confidence interval that the
average number of years to finish basic education is less than 14 years.
5. A sample of 100 private school students were surveyed whether they planned to transfer to
public school in the incoming school year. Results showed that 40% of these students will transfer
to public school. Test the average number of private school students that will transfer to public
school is not 40% at 5% level of significance.

WHAT’S NEW
LESSON 1.4
CRITICAL REGION
Critical region, also known as rejection region, is a range of values that corresponds to
the rejection of the null hypothesis. If the value of the test statistic is within the critical region,
then the null hypothesis is rejected. Otherwise, the null hypothesis is not rejected. This will be
based on the alternative hypothesis.
Critical values of the tests of hypotheses are the number or numbers that determine the
rejection region. Thus, critical region might be a single number or an interval.
For one-tailed test or directional test <, the critical region is at the left side of the acceptance
region.
For one-tailed test or directional test >, the critical region is at the right side of the acceptance
region.
For two-tailed test or non-directional test ≠, the critical region is at the left and right sides of
the acceptance region.
10
For example, suppose that a normally distributed population has a standard deviation
σ =0.12. Given a sample sizen=10, H 0 :μ=10 and H 1 : μ> 10. Construct the rejection region if
α =0.05.
Solution:
σ 0.12
μ X́ =μ=10 and σ X́ = = =0.03794733192202…
√ n √ 10
Notice that H 1 : μ> 10,this is one directional test. Using the standard normal table, z α =z 0.05=1.645.
Hence, the
critical value=μ+ ( z α ) ( σ X́ )
¿ 10+ ( 1.645 ) ( 0.038 … )
¿ 10+0.0624
¿ 10.0624
The critical region is illustrated on the next page. It is the darken area right side of 10.0624.
Another example, suppose that a normally distributed population has a standard deviation
σ =0.12. Given a sample size n=10, H 0 :μ=7 and H 1 : μ ≠ 7. Construct the rejection region if α =0.10.
Solution:
σ 0.12
μ X́ =μ=7 and σ X́ = = =0.03794733192202…
√ n √ 10
Notice that H 1 : μ ≠ 7,this is a two-tailed test. Using the standard normal table,
z α =z 0.10 =z 0.05=1.645.

LESSON 2
EXPLORING TESTING HYPOTHESIS
After learning some basic concepts involved in hypothesis testing, you now ready to
learn the parameters involve in the process. It is very important because this will guide you
on selecting the appropriate steps and formula to be used during the test. Real-life
problems will be given and be used to determine the parameter to be tested.
Parameter is a number that summarizes some aspect of the population as a whole.
Examples are population mean and the population variance. On the other hand, statistics
is a value computed from the samples. Examples are sample mean and sample variance.
Hypothesis is a claim about the parameter like the population mean μ or the population
proportion p. The examples in this lesson will use claims about the population mean μ.

WHAT’S NEW
LESSON 2.1
Decision making is part of our daily lives. We are given different options. This situation is
the same as in testing hypothesis. Options can be treated as hypothesis. It is like the process of
selecting which of these options is the best solution to our problem. There are steps to follow to
come up with the solution. Now, we will learn these steps. The first step in hypothesis testing is the
formulation of the null and alternative hypotheses.
z-test on the comparison between the population mean μ and sample mean x́ is used when
the population mean μ and the population standard deviation σ are known, and μ is compared to a
sample mean x́.
Example 2.1.1
A manufacturer of ethyl alcohol has developed a new packaging design. He claims that the
new packaging design has an average reduction of production expenses of Php 5.00 per bottle
with a standard deviation of Php 2.00. A manager of one of their satellite production branch claims
that the 200 samples of this new packaging design has an average reduction of production
expenses of Php 3.00. Test the difference of the population and sample means at 0.05 level of
significance.
Solution:
Given: sample size n=200
Parameter: population mean μ0=5 population standard deviation σ =2
Statistic: sample mean x́=5
Formulation of null and alternative hypotheses.
H 0 : The average reduction of production expenses of the new packaging design of ethyl
alcohol is Php 5.00.
In symbol, H 0 :μ=5
H 1 : The average reduction of production expenses of the new packaging design of ethyl
alcohol is less than Php 5.00.
In symbol, H 1 : μ< 5
(We used less than in H 1 because the sample average is Php3.00 which is less than the
population average Php5.00)
Example 2.1.2
A manufacturer of face mask has developed a new face mask design. He claims that the
new design has an average profit increase of 10% with a standard deviation of 3%. Test the
hypothesis that the new face mask design average profit increase of is not 10% if a random
sample of 50 face mask is tested with an average profit increase of 4%. Use 10% level of
significance.
Solution:
Given: sample size n=50
Parameter: population mean μ0=10 population standard deviation σ =3
Statistic: sample mean x́=4
Step 1. Formulation of null and alternative hypotheses.
H 0 : The average profit increase of the new face mask design is 10%.
In symbol, H 0 :μ=10 %
22
H 1 : The average profit increase of the new face mask design is not 10%.
In symbol, H 1 : μ ≠ 10 %
(We used not equal because it was indicated in the problem.)
Example 2.1.3
WHAT IS IT
ACTIVITY 6
Determine the given of the problems below and formulate the null and alternative
hypothesis both in words and symbols. Write your answer in your notebook. Please follow
the format in the examples.
1. A jeepney driver claims that his average monthly income is Php 3000.00 with a standard
deviation of Php 300.00. A sample of 30 jeepney drivers were surveyed and found that their
average monthly income is Php 3500.00 with a standard deviation of Php 350.00. Test the
hypothesis at 1% level of significance.
2. A mathematics teacher in senior high school developed a problem-solving test to randomly
selected 40 grade 11 students. These students had an average score of 85 and a standard
deviation of 5. If the population had a mean score of 90 and a standard deviation of 3, use 5%
level of significance to test the hypothesis.
3. A kinder teacher developed a coloring worksheet for her pupils. Using this worksheet, the
pupil’s performance has a mean score of 90 and a standard deviation of 10. Fifty kinder pupils
from a certain barangay were asked to answer the said worksheet and found that their mean score
was 95 with a standard deviation of 5. Test23 the hypothesis at 1% significance level.
WHAT’S NEW
LESSON 2.2
This test will be used when the population standard deviation σ is unknown but the sample
standard deviation s is known or can be computed. The t-test will replace z-test. The degrees of
freedom df is the number of pieces of independent information available for computing variability.
The required number of degrees of freedom varies depending on the size of the distribution.
Hence, for a single group of population df =N−1 and for two groups df =N 1+ N 2−1 for t-test where
N , N 1 ,and N 2 are the population size.
Example 2.2. Read and understand the problems below. Determine the values of the
parameters, statistics and sample size involve and formulate the null and alternative
hypotheses.
Example 2.2.1
The mean number of hours of student to finish answering the Statistics Module is 5 hours.
A random sample of 15 students was asked and found that their mean number of hours to finish
answering the Statistics module is 6 hours with a standard deviation of 2 hours. Test the
hypothesis at 5% level of significance.
Solution:
Given: sample size n=15
Parameter: population mean μ0=5
Statistic: sample mean x́=6 sample standard deviation s=2
H 1 : The mean number of hours of student to finish answering the Statistics Module is
greater than 5 hours 24
In symbol, H 1 : μ> 5
(We used greater than in H 1 because the sample mean 6 is greater than the population mean 5.)
Example 2.2.2
In a study of television viewing, the mean number of television program they watched
during daytime was 7. A survey was conducted on the random sample of 25 households and
found that the mean number of television program they watched during daytime was 5 with a
standard deviation of 1.5. Test the hypothesis at 10% level of significance.
Given: sample size n=25
Parameter: population mean μ0=7
Statistic: sample mean x́=5 sample standard deviation s=1.5
Step 1. Formulation of null and alternative hypotheses.
H 0 : mean number of television program they watched during daytime was 7.
In symbol, H 0 :μ=7
H 1 : The average profit increase of the new face mask design is not 10%.
In symbol, H 1 : μ< 7
(We used less than because the sample mean 5 is less than the population mean 7.)
Example 2.2.3
A rural health unit conducted a survey on the heights of the male aged 18 to 24 years old. It
was found out that the mean height of male aged 18 to 24 years old was 70 inches. Test the
hypothesis that the mean height of the male aged 18 to 24 years old is not 70 inches if a random
sample of 20 male aged 18 to 24 years old had a mean height of 65 inches with a standard
deviation of 3. Use 1% level of significance.
WHAT IS IT
ACTIVITY 7
Determine the given of the problems below and formulate the null and alternative
hypothesis both in words and symbols. Write your answer in your notebook. Please follow
the format in the examples.
1. A health specialist wants to determine the average number of hours a person exercise in a day
during the quarantine period. She found out that the mean number of hours a person exercise in a
day during the quarantine period is 80 minutes. A random sample of 29 persons were surveyed
and found that their mean is 65 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Test the
hypothesis at 2% level of significance and assume that the population is normally distributed.
2. A study was conducted to determine the marrying age of teachers. It was found out that the
mean marrying ager of teachers is 30 years old. Fifteen teachers were surveyed randomly and
found that their mean marrying age was 33 years old with a standard deviation of 5 years. Use
10% level of significance to test the hypothesis and assume that the population is normally
distributed.
3. An association of City Mayors conducted a study to determine the average number of times a
family went to buy necessities in a week. They found that the mean is 4 times in a week. A random
sample of 20 families were asked and found a mean of 5 times in a week and a standard deviation
of 2. Use 5% significance level to test that the population mean is not equal to 5. Assume that the
population is normally distributed.

WHAT’S NEW
LESSON 3
Test statistic is a value computed from the data. The test statistic is used to assess the
evidence in rejecting or accepting the null hypothesis. Each statistic test is used for a different test.
You can use the z-score, t-score, the F-statistic, or Chi-Square statistic. These will be used for the
following tests, z-test, t-test, ANOVA test, and Chi-square test, respectively. All data must be
assumed to be normally distributed. Here, we will consider three conditions in choosing the
appropriate test statistic. These three are when the population variance is assumed to be known,
when the population variance is assumed to be unknown, and when using the Central Limit
Theorem.
WHAT’S

LESSON 3.1
In this condition, the z-score is used. The formula for z-score is given by the formula below.
Test Statistic: z= ( x́−μσ ) (√n )

where
z is the z-score, x́ is the sample mean, μ0 is the population mean, σ is the population standard
deviation, and n is the sample size.
Examples 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 will use the z-score.

LESSON 3.3
TEST STATISTIC USING CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM
The Central Limit Theorem states that if a random samples of size n are drawn from a
large or infinite population with finite mean μ and variance σ 2, then the sampling distribution of the
sample mean is approximately normally distributed with mean μ x́ =μ and a standard deviation of
σ √ n ( x́−μ ) or equivalently,
σ x́ = . Hence, Z= x́ N ( μ , σ 2 /n ) .
√n σ
In other words, the sampling distribution of the sample means approaches a normal
distribution as the sample size gets larger — no matter what the shape of the population
distribution. This fact holds especially true for sample sizes over 30. All this is saying is that as you
take more samples, especially large ones, your graph of the sample means will look more like a
normal distribution.
The average of your sample means 44will be the population mean. Compute the sum of all
means from all samples divided by the number of means added. The result is the actual
population mean. Similarly, the average of all of the standard deviations of all samples is the
actual standard deviation for your population.
43
Example 3.3.1.
35
San Miguel Corporation gives a monthly benefit to their employees during the COVID19 pandemic. They
claimed that the average monthly benefit of their employees is at least Php 5, 000.00. A random sample of
35 employees were taken as samples to verify the said claim and found that their average monthly benefit
is Php 6, 000.00 with a standard deviation of Php 600.00. Is the company’s claim correct at 0.05 level of
significance? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed.
Solution:
σ s 600
According to Central Limit Theorem, σ x́ = ≈ = =101.42
√ n √ n √35
Hence,
x́−μ 0
( √ n )= 6000−5000 ( √ 35 )=58.33 .
Test Statistic: z= ( ) (
σ x́ 101.42 )
Example 3.3.2.
GMA-ABS claimed that their employees had a mean monthly salary of Php12,500.00. A reporter
wants to verify this claim by asking 30 employees. The result showed that these employees had
an average monthly salary of Php10,000.00 with a standard deviation of Php 2,000.00. Test the
claim at 10% level of significance assume that the population is approximately normally
distributed.
.
Given: n=30 , μ0=12,500, x́=10,000 , s=2000 α =10 %=0.10
Solution:

Limit Theorem. Write the problems and answers in your activity notebook.
1. A company claimed that their N95 face mask has a mean filtration efficiency rate of 95%. A
group of student researcher wanted to verify this claim. They bought and tested 40 of their N95
face masks. They found out that the average filtration efficiency rate of these face mask was 90%
with a standard deviation of 4%. Test the claim at 5% level of significance and assume that the
population is approximately normally distributed.
2. A certain group of welfare recipients receives relief goods with a mean amount of Php 500 per
week. A random sample of 75 recipients is surveyed and found that the mean amount of relief
goods they received in a week is Php 600 and a standard deviation of Php50.00 . Test the claim at
1% level of significance is not Php 500 per week and assume that the population is approximately
normally distributed.

WHAT’S NEW
LESSON 4
After the test statistic is computed, the critical region is set. The set of all possible values of
the test statistic could range from negative infinity to positive infinity. This will be divided into two
regions. One region will be set as the acceptance region and the other one is the rejection or
critical region. The division of these two regions will be based on the alternative hypothesis.
Review lesson 1.4.
In constructing the rejection region, it is important to correctly formulate the alternative
hypothesis. Recall that there are three possible symbols to be used in the formulation of the
alternative hypothesis, namely, ¿ ,<, ≠. Each of this will have a corresponding critical region.

Php 5.00.
H 0: μ=5
H 1: The average reduction of production expenses of the new packaging design of ethyl alcohol is
less than Php 5.00.

What I Need to Know
After going through this module, you are expected to:
What I know
Determine whether the statement is True or False. If false, modify the statement to make it true.
What’s In
There are certain situations when the data to be analyzed involve population proportions or
percentages. For example, a politician may want to know the percentage of his constituents who
approve of his policy on educational reform. A manufacturer may want to know the proportions of
defective products in the assembly line.
What is It 63
When testing about a proportion, the following assumptions must be made:
1. The conditions for a binomial experiment are met. That is, there is a fixed number of
independent trials with constant probabilities and each trial has two outcomes that we
usually classify as “success” and “failure”.
2. The condition np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5are both satisfied so that the binomial distribution with μ=np
and σ =√ npq.
If all the above conditions are met the test statistic is the z-test statistic for
proportions. The formula for computing this value is:
^p − p0
z=
σ ^p

Where: ^p= ,

σ ^p=

in computing the value of the test statistic z because we
Note: q 0=1− p 0.

In general,
65
What I Can Do
We will now apply the formula and steps involving test hypothesis on the population
proportion.
Example 1: Using the 0.5 level of significance run a z-test given the following:
5
n=74; ^p= ; p =10 %
74 0
Solution:
2. H 0 : p= p0
H 0 : p=.10
H 1 : p ≠ .10
5
√ n
^p= =0.068
74
p0= .10
q 0=1− p 0= 1-0.10 = 0.9
Note: In the p-value approach we compute the probability value to the left of -0.91. That
is the area between z=0 and z=0.91 is given in z-table as 0.3186. Therefore, the
0.068−0.1
observed probability value is 0.5000-0.3186 = 0.1814. Since the test is two-tailed, the p-
z=
value is multiplied by0.9)
2. So, p-value = 0.1814 x 2 = 0.3628.
z=−0.91
√
(0.1)(
74
6. Reject the H 0if the computed probability value is ≤ 0.05. Do not reject (or accept) H 0if the
8. Thus, based on the evidence at hand we cannot reject the null hypothesis H 0.
66
There is no significant difference between the sample proportion and the population proportion.
Example 2: Mr. Sy asserts that fewer than 5% of the bulbs that he sells are defective. Suppose
300 bulbs are randomly selected each are tested and 10 defective bulbs are found. Does this
provide sufficient evidence for Mr. Sy to conclude that the fraction of defective bulbs is less than
0.05? useα =0.01 .

p0= .05 So, p-value = P( z ≤−1.35)
q 0=1− p 0= 1-0.05 = 0.95 The area between z=0 and z=-1.35 is .4115.
So, P ( z ≤−1.35 )=.05−.4115=0.885
That is, p-value = 0.885

z=
