This document provides instructions and examples for hypothesis testing problems. It asks the reader to identify the parameter being tested, formulate the null and alternative hypotheses, and identify if each test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Several examples of hypothesis tests are provided relating to manufacturing claims, average prices, medical treatments, shopping behaviors, and restaurant wait times. The reader is asked to analyze each example and identify which criteria they meet.

I. Directions: Determine the parameter to be tested in each situation by writing your
answer on a separate sheet of paper. Translate it into symbols. 1. An electric lamps manufacturer is testing a new method of producing lamps that will be considered acceptable in a normal population with an average life of 2,600 hours and a standard deviation equal to 350. A sample of 80 lamps produced by this method has an average life of 2,630 hours. STATEMENT: SYMBOL: 2. A car dealer claims that the average price of Honda Vios is at least ₱662,000.00. A client suspected that the claim is incorrect and found that random sample of 15 similar vehicles has the mean price of ₱640,000.00 and standard deviation of ₱ 24,000.00. STATEMENT: SYMBOL:
II. Directions: Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. Identify whether it is one- tailed or two-tailed. If the hypothesis is one tailed, identify its direction whether it is left or right. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. A normal smartphone battery manufacturer claims that the mean life of a certain type of battery is more than 650 hours. Ho: ________________ Ha: __________________ _______-tailed test
2. The average price of a certain type of car is greater than ₱600,000.
Ho: _________________ Ha: _________________ _______- tailed test
3. A study claims that the mean survival period for certain cancer patients treated immediately with chemotherapy and radiation is 24 months. Ho: _________________ Ha: _________________ _______- tailed test
4. A magazine reports that a typical shopper spends less than 10 minutes in line waiting to check out. A sample of 30 shoppers at the DM Supermarket showed mean of 9.5 minutes with standard deviation of 2.7 minutes. Ho: ________________ Ha: __________________ _______-tailed test
5. The owner of BYD manufacturer claims that their batteries last an average of at most 350 hours under normal use. A researcher randomly selected 20 batteries from the production line and tested them. The tested batteries had a mean life span of 270 hours with a standard deviation of 50 hours. Ho: ________________ Ha: __________________ _______-tailed test
III. Directions: Read and analyze each problem. On the table below, put a check on the columns of the criteria that correspond to the given problem.
1. It is claimed that the average age of working students in a certain university is 35. A researcher selected a random sample of 25 working students. The computation of their ages resulted to an average of 32 years with standard deviation of 10 years. 2. A manufacturer of tires claim that their tire has a mean life of at least 50,000kms. A random sample of 28 of these tires is tested and the sample mean is 33,000kms. Assume that the population standard deviation is 3,000kms and the lives of the tires are approximately normally distributed. 3. On average, a drinking vending machine is adjusted so it dispenses 240ml of fruit juice. However, the machine tends to go out of adjustment and periodic checks are made to determine the average amount of fruit juice being dispensed. A sample of 28 with a standard deviation of 15ml in plastic cup drinks is taken to test the adjustment of the machine. 4. Uber company claims that the mean time to rent a car on their app is 60 seconds with a standard deviation of 30 seconds. A random sample of 36 customers attempted to rent a car on the app. The mean time of renting was 75 seconds. Is this enough evidence to contradict the company's claim? 5. The waiting time to be seated at the restaurant has population standard deviation of 10 minutes. An expensive restaurant claims that the average waiting time for dinner is approximately 1 hour, but we suspect that this claim is inflated to make the restaurant appear more exclusive and successful. A random sample of 30 customers yielded a sample average waiting time of 50 minutes.
