SHS Stat Prob Q4 W2
Key Concepts
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.
See the following examples.
Example 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 have an average reduction of production
expenses of Php 3.00.
Example 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%.

Example 3
A teacher conducted a study to know if blended learning affects the
students’ performances. A class of 30 students of Grade 11 was surveyed and
found out that their mean score was 83 with a standard deviation of 4. A study
from other country revealed that 𝜇 = 80 with a standard deviation of 3.
Example 4
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.
Example 5
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.

Activity 1
Directions: Formulate the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses of the given
situations below. (In symbol form)
1. A school reports an average grade of 84 among its currently enrolled grade 11
students. Some parents believe that students’ average is greater than 84.
2. An electric company says that the average consumption of residents in Poblacion
is 150 kWh per month. But the barangay captain says their barangay consume
less.
3. A health magazine claims that the average coffee consumptions of adults in a
certain region is 5 cups a day. However, some believe that it is not true.
4. A doctor says that his patients with lung cancer consume an average of about 8
sticks per day. However, many believe that the doctor’s estimate is not true.
5. An association of jeepney drivers in Santa Cruz claims that they earn Php 2000
in average per day. A small survey results that jeepney drivers earn Php 3000.
Activity 2
Directions: Write the null and alternative hypotheses for the following situations.
1. A barangay official claim that the mean family income of his constituents is Php
20,000 but some group of residents believe that this is not true.
2. A public school claims that the mean weight of grade 7 is 30.5 kg. But that is
not what the division doctor believes.
3. A local clinic claims that the mean weight of the children aged 10 – 12 in their
area is 48 kg. A small survey was doneand it gives a result of 52 kg.
4. A research teacher conducted a study on the no. of hours that students work
on their research per week. Students claim that they work 24 hours per week.
However, when thirty students were surveyed, it was found out that their
average is 27.3 hours per week.
5. A certain carenderia owner, Aling Marta, claims that their average no. of
customers per day is 150. However, another carenderia owner, AlingLicia
believes that Aling Marta’s claim it is 140 customers.
Guide Questions
1. What conclusion can you derive if you reject the null hypothesis?
2. Between the null and the alternative hypothesis, it is the null hypothesis that is
subjected to a thorough test. Can you change the model and subject the
alternative hypothesis to a thorough test? Explain your thinking.

Key Concepts
THE TEST STATISTIC
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.
̅−𝝁𝟎
𝒙
or simply 𝒛 = ( 𝝈
) (√𝒏)
𝑠
When σ is unknown but n≥30, we use the approximation 𝜎𝑥̅ = .
√𝑛
Where:
z is the z-score
𝑥̅ is the sample mean,
𝜇0 is the population mean,
𝜎 is the population standard deviation, and
n is the sample size.
Example 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 branches claims that the 200 samples of this new packaging
design have an average reduction of production expenses of Php 3.00.

Example 6
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.
Example 7
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.

Activity 1
Directions: Identify what appropriate form of statistic should be used in the
following situations.
1. The ABS Company has developed a new cellphone model. The engineering department
claims that its battery lasts for 4 days. In order to test this claim, the company selects
a random sample of 100 new cellphones so that this sample has a mean battery life of
2.5 days with a standard deviation of 1 day.
2. A sports trainer wants to know whether the true average time of his athletes who do
100-meter sprint is 98 seconds. He recorder 18 trials of his team and found that the
average time is 98.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 0.4 second.
3. The high school sports coordinator is asked if soccer players are doing as well
academically as the other student athletes. From the previous study, the GPA for
student athletes is 3.10. After the intervention to help improve GPA of student athletes,
the sports coordinator randomly samples 20 soccer players and finds that the average
GPA of the sample is 3.18 with a sample standard deviation of 0.54.
4. A teacher conducted a study to know if blended learning affects the students’
performances. A class of 30 students of Grade 11 was surveyed and found out that
their mean score was 83 with a standard deviation of 4. A study from other country
revealed that 𝜇 = 80 with a standard deviation of 3.
5. A school conducted a study on the number of hours students claim to study per week.
The school’s student president said it is 28 hours per week. If 80 students in the school
were surveyed and their average is 27.3 hours per week with a standard deviation of
4.1 hours, is there sufficient evidence to reject the student governor’s claim at the α =
0.05 level of significance?
