Directions: Solve the following hypothesis testing problems by using these 5 steps:

Step 1: State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

Step 2: Find the critical values. (Draw the critical region)
Step 3: Compute the test value. (z-test or t-test)
Step 4: Make the decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis.
Step 5: Conclusion.

1. Nowadays, people tend to buy products online. The shipping department manager claims that the average
order shipped by their company is 1.89kgs. The general manager wants to verify if his claim is true. So,
he randomly selects 25 sample of orders. What can the general manager conclude at 0.05 level of
significance if the sample has a mean weight of 2.07kgs with a standard deviation of 0.72kg?

2. The XYZ Company has developed a new battery. The engineering department of the company claims that
each battery lasts for 200 minutes. In order to test this claim, the company selects a random of 100 new
batteries so that this sample has a mean of 190 minutes with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. Test the
engineering department claim that the new batteries run with an average of 200 minutes. Use a 0.025 level of
significance.

3. A canteen owner claims that the average meal cost of his usual clients is Php180. In order to test his own
claim, he took a random sample of 40 receipts and computed the mean cost of Php210 with a population
standard deviation of Php25. Test the hypothesis at 0.01 level of significance.

4. Suppose that scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test form a normal distribution with 𝝁 = 500 and s= 100. A
high school counselor has developed a special course designed to boost SAT scores. A random sample of 16
students is selected to take the course and then the SAT. The sample had an average score of 544. Does the
course boost SAT scores? Test at 𝝈 = 0.05.
