Consider the following hypothesis test.

Ha: 𝜇

The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations.

Sample 1 Sample 2

n1 = 70 n2 = 60

x1 = 102 x2 = 104

𝜎
1 = 8.8 2 = 7.7
𝜎

(a) What is the value of the test statistic?

(b) What is the p-value?

(c) With 𝛼 = 0.05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?

Step 1

(a) What is the value of the test statistic?

A hypothesis test is being performed for the difference of two population means. Since the population standard deviations are
known, a z test statistic will be found. The formula follows where x1 is the mean of sample taken from population 1, x2 is the
mean of the sample taken from population 2, D0 is the hypothesized difference between the populations, 𝜎1 is the population
standard deviation for population 1, n1 is the size of the sample taken from population 1, 𝜎2 is the population standard
deviation for population 2, n2 is the size of the sample taken from population 2.

𝜎
1 = 8.8 𝜎
2 = 7.7

Note that D0 is not in the given data, but is given with the hypotheses. Use the given hypotheses to find D0.

D0 = 0

Step 2
Now that we know D0 = 0 and have the following data, the z test statistic can be found. Recall the given data.

Sample 1 Sample 2

n1 = 70 n2 = 60

x1 = 102 x2 = 104

𝜎
1 = 8.8 𝜎
2 = 7.7

70 60

 =  -1.38

Step 3

(b) What is the p-value?

The test statistic was found to be z = −1.38 and will be used to find the p-value. Note that ≠ is used in the alternative
hypothesis, indicating a two-tailed test. Recall the process for calculating the p-value for a two-tailed test.

1. Calculate the test statistic.


2. If the test statistic is positive, then find the upper tail area associated with this z-value. If the test statistic is
negative, then find the lower tail area associated with this z-value.
3. The p-value will be 2 times the upper or lower tail area.

The calculated test statistic is negative



, indicating the lower

tail area should be found.

Step 4
A lower tail area should be found since the test statistic, z = −1.38, is negative. The area under the curve to the left of a
z-value corresponds to the lower tail area. Recall that the standard normal table gives the area to the left of z-values and the
entire area under the curve is 1.

Use the standard normal table to find the lower tail area for z = −1.38, rounding the result to four decimal places.
area to the left of −1.38 = 0.0838

Step 5
The lower tail area for the test statistic z = −1.38 was found to be 0.0838. To find the p-value associated with this test statistic,
multiply this area by 2, rounding the result to four decimal places.

9/6/22, 23:43 hypothesis 3 - estadistica, Spring 2022 | WebAssign
p-value  =  2(lower tail area)

 =  2 0.0838

 

 =  0.1676

Step 6

(c) With 𝛼 = 0.05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?

The conclusion is made by comparing 𝛼 and the found p-value. If the p-value is less than or equal to 𝛼, the null hypothesis is
rejected in favor of the alternative. If the p-value is greater than 𝛼, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value was found to be 0.1676. This value is greater than



0.05. Therefore, we fail to reject

the null
hypothesis and conclude that there is not

sufficient evidence to conclude that the difference between the population
means is not equal to 0.

Suppose U.S. consumers 21 years and older consumed 26.5 gallons of beer and cider per person during 2017. A distributor in
Milwaukee believes that beer and cider consumption are higher in that city. A sample of consumers 21 years and older in
Milwaukee will be taken, and the sample mean 2017 beer and cider consumption will be used to test the following null and
alternative hypotheses:

H0: 𝜇 ≤ 26.5
Ha: 𝜇 > 26.5

(a) Assume the sample data led to rejection of the null hypothesis. What would be your conclusion about consumption of
beer and cider in Milwaukee?

Conclude that the population mean annual consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is greater than 26.5
gallons and hence higher than throughout the United States.

Conclude that the population mean annual consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is less than or equal to
26.5 gallons and hence higher than throughout the United States.    

Conclude that the population mean annual consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is greater than 26.5
gallons and hence lower than throughout the United States.

Conclude that the population mean annual consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is less than or equal to
26.5 gallons and hence lower than throughout the United States.

(b) What is the Type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?

The type I error is not rejecting H0 when it is true. This error would claim the consumption in Milwaukee is less
than or equal to 26.5 when it is actually less than or equal to 26.5.

The type I error is not rejecting H0 when it is false. This error would claim the consumption in Milwaukee is less
than or equal to 26.5 when it is actually greater than 26.5.    

The type I error is rejecting H0 when it is false. This error would claim the consumption in Milwaukee is greater
than 26.5 when it is actually greater than 26.5.

The type I error is rejecting H0 when it is true. This error would claim the consumption in Milwaukee is greater
than 26.5 when it is actually less than or equal to 26.5.

(c) What is the Type II error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?

The type II error is accepting H0 when it is true. This error would claim that the population mean annual
consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is less than or equal to 26.5 gallons when it is less than or equal to
26.5.

The type II error is not accepting H0 when it is true. This error would claim that the population mean annual
consumption of beer and cider in Milwaukee is greater than 26.5 gallons when it is not.    

The type II error is accepting H0 when it is false. This error would claim that the population mean annual

any points for the skipped part, and you will not be able to come back to the skipped part.

Tutorial Exercise
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.

Consider the following hypothesis test.

H0: p ≥ 0.85
Ha: p < 0.85

A sample of 150 items was selected. Compute the p-value and state your conclusion for each of the following sample results.
Use 𝛼 = 0.05.

(a) p = 0.79

(b) p = 0.83

(c) p = 0.80

(d) p = 0.88

Step 1

(a) p = 0.79

Before a p-value can be found, the test statistic must be calculated and the type of test must be determined. The following
hypotheses were given for a sample of 150 items and a sample proportion of p = 0.79.

H0: p ≥ 0.85
Ha: p < 0.85

Since this test is for a population proportion, the z test statistic will be found. This calculation is given below where p is the
sample proportion, p0 is the hypothesized population proportion, and n is the sample size.

p − p0
z =  p0(1 − p0)
 
n

The value for p0 is the hypothesized population proportion we are testing for. Here, we have p0 = 0.85

. There was a
sample of 150 items given, so we have n = 150

.

Step 2
Now that all of the values have been identified, the test statistic can be calculated. Use p = 0.79, p0 = 0.85, and n = 150 to
find the value of the z test statistic, rounding the result to two decimal places.

p − p0
z  =  p0(1 − p0)  
 
n
0.79 − 0.85

 =  0.85(1 − 0.85)  


 
150

 =  -2.057

Step 3
The alternative hypothesis dictates the type of test being performed. The alternative hypothesis was given to be
Ha: p < 0.85, indicating a lower tail

test. Thus, the desired p-value will be the area under the curve in
the lower tail

.

Step 4
A lower tail test is being performed, so the area to the left of the test statistic z = −2.06 is needed. Use the standard normal
table to find the p-value for this test statistic, rounding the result to four decimal places.
p-value = 0.0165

Step 5
If the found p-value is less than or equal to a given level of 𝛼, then the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the
alternative. The p-value was found to be 0.0197 and we are to compare the p-value to 𝛼 = 0.05.

Since the p-value is less than or equal to



0.05, the null hypothesis, H0, will

be rejected in favor of the alternative.
Therefore, there is

sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.85, p < 0.85.

Step 6

(b) p = 0.83

Recall the previously determined values p0 = 0.85, and n = 150. Now we are to find the test statistic for a new sample
proportion, p = 0.83. Use these values to find the test statistic, rounding the result to two decimal places.
p − p0
z  =  p0(1 − p0)  
 
n
0.83 − 0.85

 =  0.85(1 − 0.85)  


 
150

 =  -0.6859

Step 7
A lower tail test is being performed, so the area to the left of the test statistic z = −0.69 is needed. Use the standard normal
table to find the p-value for this test statistic, rounding the result to four decimal places.
p-value = 0.1447

Step 8
If the found p-value is less than or equal to a given level of 𝛼, then the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the
alternative. The p-value was found to be 0.2451 and we are to compare the p-value to 𝛼 = 0.05.

Since the p-value is greater than



0.05, the null hypothesis, H0, will not

be rejected in favor of the alternative.
Therefore, there is not

sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.85, p < 0.85.

Step 9

(c) p = 0.80

9/6/22, 23:43 hypothesis 3 - estadistica, Spring 2022 | WebAssign

Recall the previously determined values p0 = 0.85, and n = 150. Now we are to find the test statistic for a new sample
proportion, p = 0.80. Use these values to find the test statistic, rounding the result to two decimal places.
p − p0
z  =  p (1 − p )  
0 0  
n
0.80 − 0.85

 =  0.85(1 − 0.85)  


 
150

 =  -1.7149

Step 10
A lower tail test is being performed, so the area to the left of the test statistic z = −1.71 is needed. Use the standard normal
table to find the p-value for this test statistic, rounding the result to four decimal places.
p-value = 0.0297

Step 11
If the found p-value is less than or equal to a given level of 𝛼, then the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the
alternative. The p-value was found to be 0.0436 and we are to compare the p-value to 𝛼 = 0.05.

Since the p-value is less than or equal to



0.05, the null hypothesis, H0, will

be rejected in favor of the alternative.
Therefore, there is

sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.85, p < 0.85.

Step 12

(d) p = 0.88

Recall the previously determined values p0 = 0.85 and n = 150. Now we are to find the test statistic for a new sample
proportion, p = 0.88. Use these values to find the test statistic, rounding the result to two decimal places.
p − p0
z  =  p0(1 − p0)  
 
n
0.88 − 0.85

 =  0.85(1 − 0.85)  


 
150

 =  1.0289

Step 13
A lower tail test is being performed, so the area to the left of the test statistic z = 1.03 is needed. Use the standard normal
table to find the p-value for this test statistic, rounding the result to four decimal places.

p-value = 0.8393

Step 14
If the found p-value is less than or equal to a given level of 𝛼, then the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the
alternative. The p-value was found to be 0.8485 and we are to compare the p-value to 𝛼 = 0.05.

Since the p-value is greater than



0.05, the null hypothesis, H0, will not

be rejected in favor of the alternative.
Therefore, there is not

sufficient evidence to conclude that the population proportion is less than 0.85, p < 0.85.
