Lesson
Understanding Hypothesis Testing
1
In this lesson, the learners will understand the concepts of tests of hypotheses
on the population mean and population proportion.
Null hypothesis
• It is denoted by Ho.
• It is a statement which states that there is no significant difference between a
parameter and a specific value, or that there is no significant difference between
two parameters.
• It is a statement that asserts the value to which the population parameter is equal
and is presumed to be true.
• It is a statement of equality (=) or one which involves equality (≤ and ≥).
Alternative hypothesis
• It is denoted by Ha.
• It is a statement that there is a significant difference between a parameter and a
specific value, or that there is a significant difference between two parameters.
• It is a statement of inequality such as, ≠, < and >.

b. The mean number of studying hours of a Grade 11 student is greater than 6
hours. (In symbols, Ha : µ > 6)
c. The mean number of studying hours of a Grade 11 student is less than 6 hours.
(In symbols, Ha : µ ˂ 6)
The appropriateness on the use of “not equal to”, “greater than”, and “less than”
in alternative hypothesis depends on the design of the hypothesis test.
Design of Hypothesis Test can be: (a) one - tailed test (also known as directional
test); (b) two – tailed test (also known as non-directional test).
The two-tailed test (non-directional test) is the standard test used in many
researches and it compares the population parameter in both directions (left or right)
of the bell curve. On the other hand, one-tailed test (directional test) is a test that
determines the relationship between the variables in only one direction, either the
left or the right tail of the curve.
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE
The next step in hypothesis testing after the statement of the hypotheses is
the setting of the standard or criterion on which the decision will be based.
Apparently, there are only two possible decisions to make in the process of
hypothesis testing- either “reject Ho” (accept Ha) or “do not reject Ho” (reject Ha). This
decision to reject the null hypothesis is called significance and it should be based
on a set of criteria of judgment called the level of significance, denoted using the
Greek lower-case alpha, α.
● Significance is reached when the p-value of the statistic is less than the level
of significance.
● In general, statisticians arbitrarily set the commonly used levels of
significance,
at 1%, 5% and 10%.

PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON1
DECISION ERRORS IN HYPOTHESIS TESTING
The last step in hypothesis testing is the decision to reject or not to reject the
null hypothesis. Since not all members of the population are considered in the
process of verifying the null hypothesis, it is always a possibility that the decision to
reject or not to reject the null hypothesis is wrong.
Classification of Decision Errors: (a.) Type I error. It is the decision to reject the
null hypothesis could be wrong; and (b.) Type II error. It is the decision not to reject
the null hypothesis could be wrong.
Of course, you only reject the null hypothesis when it is false and you fail to
reject the null hypothesis when it is true. Doing otherwise would certainly lead to do
a decision error. The Table 1 below summarizes the four possible outcomes when a
decision is made in hypothesis testing.
Example 3:
Maria insists that she is 30 years old, when in fact, she is 32 years old. What
error is Maria committing?
Answer: Maria is rejecting the truth. She is committing a Type I error.
Example 4:
It has been established that a particular teaching strategy improves math
performance. However, the p-value taken from your experiment at an alpha-value of
0.05 was 0.15. Thus, you did not reject the null hypothesis and concluded that there
is no significance between the strategy and math performance. What type of decision
is illustrated in this example?
Answer: This illustrates Type II error because there is really significance in the
population between the teaching strategy and math performance, but you did not
find any significance in your sample.

Lesson
The Rejection Region and Critical Values
3
In this lesson, the learners will understand the concept of rejection region and
critical values. Ideas about types of error will also be presented.
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
12
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON3
We can note from the diagram that a Type I error is committed when a true
hypothesis is rejected while a Type II error is committed when you fail to reject a false
hypothesis.
How do these errors relate in real life? Let us see the illustrations below.
Illustration 1: A man who insists that he stands 5’10” when in fact, his height is only
5’8”. In this situation, the man is said to commit a Type I error since he is rejecting
the idea that he just stands 5’8”.
The question now is, how likely are we going to commit these errors as we do
decision making in the hypothesis testing process? We denote the probability of
committing a Type I error as 𝛼 while the probability of committing a Type II error as
𝛽. With the goal of minimizing these errors, we set their values to be relatively small.
For instance, we usually assign an alpha value of 0.05 or 0.01, depending on the
implications of the errors. Of course, the more serious the implications, the less likely
we would like to commit the error. From here we can further say that the probability
of making a correct decision with respect to Type I error is 1 − 𝛼.
The figure on the left shows the rejection regions under the
normal curve for a non-directional (two-tailed) test. This time,
notice that the entire area under the curve is divided into three
parts by the critical values. The rejection regions are seen on
both tails, which means that have been equally distributed.
Remember that these regions serve us our guide in decision making. If the
computed test statistic falls in the rejection region, then we must reject Ho. If the test
statistic falls outside the rejection region, then we do not reject Ho.
As a remark, the curve to be used is based on whether the population variance
is known or not.
Sample Problem:
1. Assuming that the population standard deviation is known, sketch the rejection
region for a two-tailed test with 95% confidence. Does z = 1.68 fall in the rejection
region?
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
13
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON3
Solution:
Since the population standard deviation is assumed to be known, we will use
the z-distribution (normal distribution). Also, the 95% confidence level implies that
𝛼 = 0.05. Further, the two-tailed test implies that we must consider 𝛼/2 = 0.025
since the probability is distributed on both tails. Thus, the critical value is the
corresponding z-value for 1 – 0.025 = 0.975. Using the z-table, we find that the
critical values are -1.96 and 1.96. The sketch of the rejection region is shown
below.
3. A random sample of 250 bottles of juice drink were taken and was found to have
an average content that is less than the company’s claim that each bottle
contains 500 mL of juice drink. Suppose that an appropriate test statistic
revealed a value of -1.75 at 95% confidence, sketch the rejection region and
locate test statistic value.
Solution:
It is seen from the problem that the population standard deviation is unknown
but with the sample size of 250, which is large enough, we can make use of the
Central Limit Theorem and consider the z-distribution. With 95% confidence, it
shows that 𝛼 = 0.05. Thus, 1 − 𝛼 = 1 − 0.05 = 0.95.

that we have a one-tailed test. Thus, we

region or not. The sketch is shown below.

Lesson
4 The Test Statistic
In this lesson, the learners will be equipped with the skill of computing for the
appropriate test statistic needed in performing hypothesis testing later.
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
16
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON4
In the previous lesson, we learned about critical values and their role in
establishing the rejection region. To complete the scenario towards arriving with a
certain decision on whether to reject the null hypothesis or not, one must be able to
compute for the test statistic accurately.
The calculation of the test statistic mainly depends on whether or not the
population standard deviation is known as well as on the size of the sample. In this
lesson, we introduce the formula and the procedures for computing an appropriate
test statistic which will be used to arrive at a correct decision that may eventually
lead to sound conclusions.
Generally, to compute for a test statistic, we subtract the expected value form
the observed value and divide the result by the standard error. There are two main
statistical tests performed concerning the population mean, they are known as the
z-test and the t-test.
On one hand, we use z-test when 𝑛 ≥ 30 or when the population is normally
𝑋−𝜇
distributed and 𝜎 is known. The formula for the z-test statistic is given by 𝑧 =
𝜎/√𝑛
where, 𝑋 is the sample mean,
𝜇 is the hypothesized population mean,
𝜎 is the population standard deviation, and
𝑛 is the sample size.
On the other hand, we use t-test when the population is normal or
approximately normal and 𝜎 is unknown. The formula for the t-test statistic is given
𝑋−𝜇
by 𝑡 =
𝑠/√𝑛
where, 𝑋 is the sample mean,
𝜇 is the hypothesized population mean,
𝑠 is the sample standard deviation, and
𝑛 is the sample size.
Notice that the formulas presented above are very much similar. It is only in
the standard error of the mean that they differ since in the use of t-test, the
population standard deviation is unknown and is replaced by the sample standard
deviation.
After computing for the appropriate test statistic, a decision must be made. To
come up with a correct decision, we follow the following rule: If the absolute value of
computed test statistic is greater than or equal to the critical value, the null hypothesis
is rejected and if the absolute value of computed test statistic is less than the critical
value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
After deciding, we proceed to writing sound conclusions. These are inferences
that we can draw from the context of the situation based on whether we have rejected
the null hypothesis or not. To illustrate how we compute test statistics and write
conclusions, thereafter, study the example below.
Sample Problem:
1) Previous records revealed that the mean salary of the high school teachers in a
municipality is Php 16, 250 with a standard deviation of Php 1, 400. A sample of
50 teachers were taken and was reported to have a mean salary of Php 18,000. At
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
17
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON4
95% confidence level, do we have enough evidence to believe what the records
revealed?
Solution:
Since the sample size is 50, which is greater than or equal to 30 and that the
population standard deviation is known, we compute for the z-test statistic.
Substituting the known values to our formula for z-test, we obtain the following:
𝑋−𝜇 18 000−16 250 1 750
𝑧= = ≈ ≈ 8.839
𝜎/√𝑛 1 400/√50 197.99
At, 95% confidence interval, the critical value for z is 1.96. Clearly, the
computed z-test statistic which is 8.839 is greater than the z-critical value of 1.96.
Thus, we reject the null hypothesis stating that the population mean salary and
the sample mean salary are statistically equal.
Therefore, the sample mean is statistically different from that of the
population mean. This implies that the selected high school teachers have
significantly different salary as compared to the population and so, there is no
enough evidence to believe what the records have revealed.
2) A medical report claims that the number of infections per week at a certain
hospital in a province is 12.7. A random sample of 9 weeks had a mean number
of 11.4 infections with a standard deviation of 0.6. Is there enough evidence to
support the claim at 95% confidence level?
Solution:
Given that the sample size is 9, which is less than 30 and that the
population standard deviation is unknown, we compute for the t-test statistic.
Applying the formula for this test value, we have the following:
𝑋−𝜇
𝑡=
𝑠/√𝑛
11.4 − 12.7
𝑡=
0.6/√9
−1.3
𝑡= = −6.5
0.2
Directions: Compute for the appropriate test statistic in each of the following:
a. 𝑛 = 17; 𝑋 = 8; 𝜇 = 7.4; 𝑠 = 0.5 d. 𝑛 = 10; 𝑋 = 5.9; 𝜇 = 6.3; 𝑠 = 0.125
b. 𝑛 = 40; 𝑋 = 6.24; 𝜇 = 5.11; 𝜎 = 3.6 e. 𝑛 = 48; 𝑋 = 10.27; 𝜇 = 9.4; 𝑠 = 2.04

Lesson
Hypothesis Testing
5
In this lesson, the learners will be acquainted of the entire procedures in
performing hypothesis testing concerning both population mean and population
proportion.
In the past lessons, you learned how to formulate null and alternative hypotheses
for population mean, identify critical values, compute test statistic, decide, and state
conclusions based on the results. The test of hypothesis concerning population mean
may be described as a decision-making process about a certain claim concerning a
population.
The previous lessons have indeed allowed you to experience how this entire
process is performed in a piece-by-piece approach. In this lesson, we will look at all
these procedures as a one whole big picture. The test of hypothesis may be conducted
in three ways namely – traditional method, p-value method, and confidence interval
method. For this lesson we will only tackle about the traditional method and its steps
are summarized below.
Steps in Hypothesis Testing using the Traditional Method
1. State the hypothesis and identify the claim. 4. Make a decision.
2. Find the critical value. 5. State the conclusion.
3. Compute for the appropriate test statistic.
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &

PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON5
To solve problems involving test of hypothesis concerning population mean, we
follow the steps presented above. As an illustration, let us take the problem below.
Sample Problem 1:
According to the latest data published by the World Health Organization (WHO)
in 2018, the life expectancy of male Filipinos is 66.2 years. A random sample of 50
recorded deaths among male Filipinos was taken and was found to have a mean of
64.6 years. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 7.2 years, does this
seem to indicate that the mean life span of male Filipinos is less than 66.2 years?
Use 0.05 level of significance.
Steps Solution
1. State the hypothesis The following are the hypotheses:
and identify the claim. Ho: 𝜇 = 66.2 H1: 𝜇 < 66.2 (claim)
2. Find the critical value. Since the population standard deviation is known, then
the appropriate distribution is z. Also, the hypotheses are
directional and so it implies a one-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.05.
Using the z-table, the critical z-value is -1.65.
3. Compute for the As mentioned in Step 2, we use the z-distribution. So, the
appropriate test appropriate test statistic is z and is computed as follows:
statistic. 𝑧=
𝑋−𝜇
=
64.6−66.2
≈ −1.571
𝜎/√𝑛 7.2/√50
4. Make a decision. Comparing the absolute values of the computed z-test
statistic and the z-critical value, it can be seen that
zcomputed < zcritical. Thus, at 0.05 level of significance, the null
hypothesis is not rejected.
5. State the conclusion. Based on the decision, there is not enough evidence to
support the claim that the life span of male Filipinos is
less than 66.2 years.
Sample Problem 2:
In a report by Sanchez (2020), during 2016 the average household electric
consumption per capita in our country is 248.1 kilowatt hours. If a random sample
of 16 households included in a planned study indicated that their consumption is
254.3 kilowatt hours with a standard deviation of 3.6 kilowatt hours, test the claim
of Sanchez in his report at 0.05 level of significance.
Steps Solution
1. State the hypothesis The following are the hypotheses:
and identify the claim. Ho: 𝜇 = 248.1 (claim)
H1: 𝜇 ≠ 248.1
2. Find the critical value. Since the population standard deviation is unknown and
the sample is less than 30, then the appropriate
distribution is t. Also, the hypotheses are non-directional
and so it implies a two-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.05. Using the
t-table, with 𝑑𝑓 = 16 − 1 = 15, the critical t-value is
±2.131.
3. Compute for the As mentioned in Step 2, we use the t-distribution. So, the
appropriate test appropriate test statistic is t and is computed as follows:
statistic. 𝑡=
𝑋−𝜇
𝑠/√𝑛
254.3 − 248.1
𝑡=
3.6
√16
𝑡 ≈ 6.889
4. Make a decision. Comparing the absolute values of the computed t-test
statistic and the t-critical value, it is clear that
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
21
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON5
tcomputed > tcritical. Thus, at 0.05 level of significance, the
null hypothesis is rejected.
5. State the conclusion. Based on the decision, there is enough evidence to reject
the claim of Sanchez in his report that the average electric
consumption in Filipino households is 248.1 kilowatt
hours.
At this point, it is timely for you to know that hypothesis testing does not only
apply on problems that concern population mean but also on population proportion.
To effectively carry out hypothesis testing in these cases, one must be able to
correctly state hypotheses for population proportion.
State the null and alternative hypotheses for each of the following.
a. A recent report indicated that 67% of teenagers spend more than 5 hours in
doing social media activities. To verify this claim, a researcher took 90 teenagers,
and revealed that 54 of them affirms the report.
Solution:
In the above problem, we formulate the following hypotheses:
Ho: 𝑝 = 0.67 (claim) H1: 𝑝 ≠ 0.67
b. A survey revealed that more than 46% of working professionals dine-in at fast
food stores daily. A pool of researchers tested this survey result by taking 75
working professionals with 52 of them agreeing the result.
Solution:
In the above problem, we formulate the following hypotheses:
Ho: 𝑝 = 0.46 H1: 𝑝 > 0.46 (claim)
A recent survey of 200 people revealed that the mean time spent in watching
television of teenagers is 4.2 hours. Previous national records say that the mean time
was 3.8 hours with standard deviation of 0.3 hours. Do the survey results
significantly differ from previous records at 0.05 level of significance?

A. Directions: State the null and alternative hypotheses for each of the following.
1. A recent report indicated that 72% of teachers spend more than 8 hours in
doing schoolwork in this current work-from-home arrangement. To verify this
claim, a researcher took 80 teachers, and revealed that 63 of them affirms the
report.
2. A survey revealed that less than 36% of children ages 8 to 10 years old are
exposed to computer games daily. A pool of researchers tested this survey
result by taking 105 children on the given age bracket with 41 of them
agreeing the result.
Directions: Read and analyze each item carefully, then write the letter of your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

Targets:
1. Identify the appropriate rejection region for a given level of significance.
M11/12SP-IVe-4;
2. Compute for the test statistic value (Z-test for Proportion). M11/12SP-IVf-1;
3. Draw conclusion about the population proportion based on the whole hypothesis
testing procedure. M11/12SP-IVf-2; and
4. Solve problems using Z-test for proportions. M11/12SP-IVf-g-1.
We will now illustrate how the rejection region is determined when =.05.
The REJECTION REGION is a range of values such that if the test statistic (Z, t, or p) falls
into that range, we decide to reject the H0 in favor of the H1. (Keller/Warrack, p.324)
For a Left-Tailed Test (One-Tailed Directional Test), the rejection region will
have an area equal to 0.05 at the extreme left side of the Normal Curve. See the figure
below.
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
24
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON6
The line that divides the Rejection Region and the Non-rejection Region (some
books call it Acceptance Region) corresponds to a Z value that we call Critical Value.
This critical value may be found in our Z-table. Since the rejection region (red region)
has an area equal to 0.05, we have to look at our Z-table for the corresponding Z
value. Were you able to locate it? It’s exactly between -1.64 and -1.65. That means
the Z value we are looking for is -1.645.
Using the same argument and also because our Normal Curve is symmetric,
our critical value for a Right-Tailed Test (One-Tailed Directional Test) when = .05
must be 1.645.
REMEMBER: We use the Two-Tailed Test if we are using the symbol ≠ in the H1.
Do you understand? The preceding discussion is based only on =.05 level of
significance.
In the beginning of this module, we talked about brands of coffee and the
people’s preference. When data are nominal, the only thing we can do to describe
the population or sample is to count the number of occurrences for each category.
From the counts we determine the proportions. (Keller/Warrack, p. 373)
DO_Q4_STATISTICS &
25
PROBABILITY_GRADE 11_LESSON6
The sampling distribution of a proportion approximately follows a
standardized normal distribution. (Levine, p.356)
The test statistic for proportion p0 is given as follows:
𝑝̂ – p0
𝑋
Z= where 𝑝̂ =
𝑛
√(p0q0/n) 𝑝̂ = sample proportion
x = number of successes
n = sample size
p0 = hypothesized population proportion
q0 = 1 – p 0
EXAMPLE 1: A local government official claims that only up to 25% of all public
school students in the city own an electronic gadget that can be used for distance
learning like cellphone, tablet, or laptop. To test the claim, a group of Grade 11
Statistics students made a survey and found out that out of 1, 000 randomly selected
students, 275 indicated that they are ready for Online learning. Can we infer from
the data that the local official is true to his claim? Use =.05
SOLUTION:
(1) H0: The proportion of students who own an electronic gadget is at most 25%,
p0 ≤ 0.25
H1: The proportion of students who own an electronic gadget is more than 25%,
p0 > 0.25
NOTE: We are using the symbol > in our H1 because we hope to show that the obtained
sample 275 is significantly greater than 250, the 25% of 1,000.
(2) One-Tailed Test, =.05
(3) Is np0 > 5? YES! Is nq0 > 5? YES!
np0 = (1000)(0.25)= 250
n= (1000)(0.75)= 750
(4) USE Z TEST
𝑋 275
𝑝̂ = = = 0.275 q0 = 1 – p0 = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75
𝑛 1000
𝑝̂ - p0 0.275 – 0.25
Z= = = 1.83 (computed value)
(p0q0/n) [(0.25)(0.75)/1000)]

(6) DECISION RULE: FOR RIGHT-TAILED TEST
If the computed value is greater than or equal to the critical value,
REJECT H0. Otherwise, do NOT reject the Null Hypothesis.
(7) COMPARE the computed value with the critical value: Since 1.83 > 1.645,
DECISION: REJECT H0.
(8) CONCLUSION: There is enough evidence to reject the claim of the government
official. There is a Significant Difference between the sample proportion and the
hypothesized population proportion. It is safe to say that the proportion of students
who own an electronic gadget in this city is more than 25%.
Let us now solve the problem presented in the beginning of this module – the
ABM coffee.
SOLUTION:
(1) H0: The proportion of residents in Pinalagad that prefer the ABM coffee is 20%
or more, p0 ≥ 0.20
H1: The proportion of residents in Pinalagad that prefer the ABM coffee is
less than 20%, p0 < 0.20
NOTE: We are using the symbol < in our H1 because we hope to prove that the obtained
sample value 95 is significantly lesser than 100, the 20% 0f 500.
(2) One-Tailed Test, =.05
(3) Is np0 > 5? YES! Is nq0 > 5? YES! np0 = (500)(0.20)= 100 nq0 =(500)(0.80)=400
(4) USE Z TEST
𝑝̂ - p0 0.19 – 0.20
Z= = = -0.56 (computed value)
(p0q0/n) [(0.20)(0.80)/500)]
𝑋 95
𝑝̂ = = = 0.19 q0 = 1 – p0 = 1 – 0.20 = 0.80
𝑛 500
(7) COMPARE the computed value with the critical value: Since -0.56 > -1.645,
DECISION: Do NOT reject H0.

(8) CONCLUSION: There is NOT enough evidence to reject the claim of ABM Coffee
Company. There is NO Significant Difference between the sample proportion and the

In order to see graphically the possible relationship between two variables the
Scatter Diagram is used. The Scatter Diagram (or Scatter Plot) is a technique used
to describe the relationship between two numerical variables. (Keller/ Warrack, p.58)
When drawing the scatter diagram, we need the raw data from our two
variables. Each pair of observations from the two variables is represented by a dot.
This is similar to what you did in your Gen Math class when you plotted points on
the XY plane.
In most cases, one variable seems to be dependent on the other variable. Just
to cite some examples --- an individual’s income somewhat depends on the number
of years of education (the higher your educational attainment, the higher you expect
your salary to become), a company’s sales depend on the amount spent in advertising
(This is the reason why companies spend a lot of money to advertise their products),
a student’s score in a major exam may depend on the number of hours spent in
studying (We sincerely hope you prepare really well for your exams).
Example
It is unfortunate that this generation has experienced a dreaded pandemic.
The following are the actual number of Covid 19 cases in the Philippines starting
January 30, 2020 when the first case was detected. The data cover a period of 20
weeks from January 30 to June 30, 2020 (en.m.wikipedia.org)

What do you notice about the general direction of the dots in our example?
Take a look at the example again. You can clearly see that as time passes by, the
number of Covid 19 cases also increases. As the independent variable increases, the
dependent variable also increases. When this happens, we say that there is a
positive linear relationship between the two variables.

9-10 Regression Analyses
Let us have some review of the Dependent and Independent Variables. By example
below, you may be reminded of what is meant by Dependent Variable as the values
that predicts or assumes the predictor and sometimes called the outcome or response
variable:
● How you will perform in a race depends on your training.
● How much you weigh depends on your diet.
● How much you earn depends upon the number of hours you work.
While, the variables that are manipulated or are changed by researchers and
whose effects are measured and compared are Independent Variable some called as
predictors or input.
In the equation 𝑦 = 3𝑥, can you tell what is independent and independent
variable? Yes, y is the dependent variable while x represents the independent
variable.
The technique used to develop the equation for a straight line and make
predictions about relationship of two variable is called Regression Analysis. The
equation for the straight line that is used to estimate y based on x is referred to as
regression equation.
The equation of the regression line is written as: 𝑦 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑥, 𝑎 = 𝑦 − 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡, 𝑏 =
𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒.
The formulas used to generate the Regression Equation (least square method) are:
