Computer Laboratory Computer Usage Per Week (In Hours) A B

1. The supplier of new machines claims they exceed the output of old machines. Hypothesis testing is conducted to determine if evidence supports this claim, using a significance level of 1%. 2. The school head wants to study computer usage of BA students in two laboratories. Hypothesis testing is used to determine if there are differences in usage between the labs at a 5% significance level. 3. Grades of men and women students on a statistics exam are analyzed using hypothesis testing at a 1% significance level to determine if the difference between their mean grades is significant.

ACTIVITY from Module 7

Apply hypothesis testing on each problem. Show the five-step procedure, use excel or phstat for the
solution.

1. A company selling machinery to a manufacturing plant claims that a more sophisticated machine has
been developed. This new machine will exceed the output of the old type of machines. The plant
manager, doubting the claim of the supplier, installs one of the new machines and runs it along with
the old ones of 10 consecutive days. The results are follows:

Average output of old machine

10 8 9 9 12 11 10 13 11 12

Average output of new machine

12 10 14 16 15 11 12 13 17 16

Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim of the supplier of machines? Use α = 0.01

2. The school head of a certain university wants to study the Business Administration students’ online
computer usage (in hours) in two computer laboratories. Six BA students are randomly selected and
asked about the number of hours they use the computers in each laboratory.

             
Computer
Laboratory   Computer Usage per week (in hours)
A 2 3 8 11 12 10
B 11 13 10 9 9 10
Is there evidence of any differences in the computer usage of the two laboratories at 5% level of
significance? Assume that computer usage is approximately normally distributed.

3. Following is a random sample of grades achieved on a statistics examination by nine men students in
a very large class and a random sample of grades achieved in the same examination by seven
women students:

Men 79 88 64 91 83 66 89 74 68
student
s
Women 70 51 82 72 90 61 68
student
s

Use the level of significance ∝=0.01 to test whether the difference between the means of
these two samples is significant.
4. In a study of the effectiveness of physical exercise in weight reduction, a group of 16 persons
engaged in a prescribed program of physical exercise of one month showed the following results
below. Use ∝=0.10 to test the null hypothesis that the prescribed program of exercise is not
effective in reducing weight.

Weight before Weight after


(in pounds) (in pounds)
209 196
178 171
169 170
212 207
180 177
192 190
158 150
180 180
170 164
153 152
183 179
165 162
201 199
170 173
243 231
144 140

5. It has been claimed that at least 60% of the juniors and seniors attending a large university prefer to
live off campus. If 3 of 14 juniors or seniors selected at random prefer to live off campus, test the
claim at the 0.05 level of significance.

6. Following are the numbers of marketable pineapple harvested from randomly selected trees in four
sections of a large pineapple plantation.

Northeast 79 48 57 82 69 79 78 92
Southeast 67 75 73 77 52 69 71 82 51
Northwes 68 75 84 73 81
t
Southwest 70 73 68 59 71 49 92 89 91 43

Use ∝=0.05 to test whether the differences among the 4 sample means can be attributed to
chance.

7. Three coffee vending machines are thought to be defective and their performances have been
recorded over a two-month period. The following data show the numbers of times these machines
have failed to operate properly during the period:

Machine 1 Machine 2 Machine 3


Brewed 22 24 16
Cappucino 26 25 22
Latte 19 21 17
Black 16 20 15

Perform a two-way ANOVA and test at ∝=0.05 .
