EXERCISE 3:

1. a. 𝐻𝑜: μ=44 𝐻𝑜: μ≠44

b. Type of test: two-tailed test Test Statistic: z -test
Level of significance: α=0.05
Critical values: ±1.960
c. Given: 𝑋̅ = 46, μ=44, n=20, σ= 4
𝑧
-1.960 1.960
The test value or z computed value is 2.236
d. Since, |2.236| > |±1.960|, and falls within the rejection region. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
rejected
e. There is a significant difference between the sample mean and the population mean. Thus, the
mathematics teacher is correct in claiming that the modular approach of learning is effective in improving the
performance of students in an examination.
2. a. 𝐻𝑜: μ=10,000 𝐻𝑜: μ≠10,000
b. Type of test: two-tailed test Test Statistic: t -test
Level of significance: α=0.01 df: 19
Critical value: ±2.977
c. Given: 𝑋̅ = 8,500, μ=10,000, n=15, s= 1,500

𝑡
The test value or t computed value is -3.873 -2.977 2.977

d. Since, −3.873 < -2.977 and falls within the rejection region. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
rejected.

e. There is a significant difference between the sample mean and the population mean. Thus, the
average monthly expense of the families is not P10,000.

3. a. 𝐻𝑜: μ=8 𝐻𝑜: μ ≠ 8

𝑧.
The test value or z computed value is -4.714.
d. Since, -4.714 < -1.960 and falls within the rejection region. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
rejected.

e. There is a significant difference between the sample mean and the population mean. Thus, the
statement given by the survey on the mean number of hours adults play mobiles games is
incorrect.

We can conclude that there is no significant
difference between the sample mean and the
population mean

b. Even if the statement was changed, the survey values remain the same so the µ and the s will also
remain the same. Therefore, we will make use of the same values. The only difference is that the test
will become two tailed.

Problem Decision Conclusion

1 Reject the null The average amount of time spent in studying the self learning
hypothesis module in Math per week is less than 300 minutes.
Thus, Yna’s claim is correct.

2 Reject the null There is a significant difference between the population mean and
hypothesis the sample mean. Thus, the average meal cost of usual
costumers is not 190 pesos.

3 Reject the null The average volume of coffee that a vending machine can
hypothesis dispense is more than 180 ml. Thus, the owner’s suspicion is
correct.

Interpretation: There is a very strong negative correlation between the average number of hours spent and
the general weighted average of the student, since r (-0.92) falls within the range of -1.00 to -0.80. This
means that as the number of hours in watching T.V increases, the GWA tends to decrease.
