COST DATA

1. A car dealer reports that the average cost of cars is P23,350 with a standard deviation of
P3,350. To see if the average cost of cars is not different at a large car manufacturer, a
researcher selected a random sample of 35 brand of cars. At α = 0.05, can it be
concluded that the average cost at a large manufacturer is not different.

Step 1: Given:
n=35
µ= P23,350
ǒ= P3,350
α= 0.05

Step 2: Hypothesis:
Ho: µ= P23,350 (claim)
Ha: µ≠ P23,350

Step 3: α= .05
Test Statistic: Z test Two-Tailed test ǒ is known

Z= 0.3254474517

2. A job placement director claims that the average starting salary for nurses is more than P15,000.
A sample of 10 nurses has been surveyed. Is there enough evidence to reject the director’s claim
at α = 0.05?

Step 1: Given: µ= 15,000, n= 10, α= .05 Degrees of freedom= 9, one tail test, ẍ= 22,720,
s= 2,789.5838

Step 2: Hypothesis

Ha= µ ≤ 15,000
Hο= µ > 15,000 (claim)

Step 3: Test Statistic: t-test with ǒ unknown

ẍ−µ
t=
s/√n

22,720−15,000
t=
2,789.5838/ √ 10

t= 8.751407123
