Hypothesis Testing

1. A sample of 15 joggers had a mean oxygen uptake of 40.6 ml/kg with a standard deviation of 6 ml/kg. The average for all adults is 36.7 ml/kg. There is enough evidence at the 0.05 significance level to support the physician's claim that joggers have a higher oxygen uptake. 2. Calories and milligrams of cholesterol were measured for chicken sandwiches from 7 restaurants. There appears to be a relationship between the two variables. 3. Office workers' preferences for combating midday drowsiness (nap, walk, beverage, snack, other) were measured. The results would be of interest to employers because some methods may impact productivity more than

Hypothesis Testing

1. A physician claims that joggers’ maximal volume oxygen


uptake is greater than the average of all adults. A sample of
15 joggers has a mean of 40.6milliliters per kilogram (ml/kg)
and a standard deviation of 6 ml/kg. If the average of all
adults is 36.7 ml/kg, is there enough evidence to support the
physician’s claim at 0.05 level of significance?

2. The number of calories and the number of milligrams of


cholesterol for a random sample of fast-food chicken
sandwiches from seven restaurants are shown in the table. Is
there a significant relationship between the two variables?
Calories x 390 535 720 300 430 500 440
Cholesterol y 43 45 80 50 55 52 60

3. A researcher wishes to see if the five ways (drinking


decaffeinated, beverages, taking a nap, going for a walk,
eating a sugary snack, other) people use to combat midday
drowsiness are equally distributed among office workers. A
sample of 60 office workers is selected, and the following data
are obtained. At α = 0.01 can it be concluded that there is no
preference? Why would the results be interest to an
employer?
METHOD Beverage Nap Walk Snack Other
Number 21 16 10 8 5

4. A researcher wishes to determine whether there is a


relationship between the gender of an individual and the
amount of alcohol consumed. A sample of 68 people is
selected, and the following data are obtained.
Alcohol Consumption
Gender Low Moderate High Total
Male 10 9 8 27
Female 13 16 12 41
Total 23 25 20 68

At α = 0.05 , can the researcher conclude that alcohol


consumption depends or is related to gender?

5. Expenditures per Student The per-student costs (in ten-


thousands of pesos) for cyber charter school tuition in three
different colleges in Olongapo City are shown. At α = 0.05 , is
there a difference in the means? If so, give a possible reason
for the difference.
College A College B College C
6.2 7.5 5.8
9.3 8.2 6.4
6.8 8.5 5.6
6.1 8.2 7.1
6.7 7.0 3.0
6.9 9.3 3.5
