Statistics and Probability: Ms. Keylin H. Talavera, LPT

Here are the key steps: Given: xҧ = 17.5 hrs, s = 4.3 hrs, n = 28, μ = 22 hrs H0: μ ≥ 22 hrs H1: μ < 22 hrs Level of significance (α) = 0.05 Degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27 Critical value = -1.703 Test statistic = (xҧ - μ) / s/√n = (17.5 - 22) / 4.3/√28 = -2.727 Since the test statistic is less than the critical value, reject the H0. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that

STATISTICS AND

PROBABILITY
Ms. Keylin H. Talavera, LPT
One- Sample t-Test

ҧ
𝑥−𝜇
t= 𝑠
𝑛
Example #1
One of the undersecretary of the Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) claims that the average salary of a civil
engineer is 18,000. A sample of 19 civil engineer’s salary has
mean of 17, 350 and a standard deviation of 1,230. Is there
enough evidence to reject the undersecretary’s claim at
α=0.01?

Given: 𝑥=
ҧ 17,350 𝜇 = 18,000 s= 1,230 n = 19
STEP 1: state the hypothesis.
𝐻0 = 𝜇 = 18,000
𝐻𝛼 = 𝜇 ≠ 18,000

STEP 2: THE LEVEL OF SIGNIFACANCE IS 𝛼 = 0.01


and df= n-1
=19-1
=18
STEP 3: DETERMINE THE CRITICAL VALUE
The t critical value is +-2.878
STEP 4: COMPUTE THE ONE SAMPLE z-TEST VALUE
ҧ
𝑥−𝜇
t= 𝑠

17,350−18000
t= 1,230 = -2.303
19

STEP 5: DECISION RULE.


Do not reject the null hypothesis at 𝛼 = 0.01

STEP 6: CONCLUSION
Since we do not reject the null hypothesis, we can conclude that there is not enough evidence
to support the claim that the average salary of a civil engineer is 18,000.
Example #2
A researcher claims that 20 year old women on a special diet
will have an average weight of 110 pounds. A sample of 15
women has an average weight of 112.5 pounds and a
standard deviation of 5 pounds. At α= 0.01,can be the claim
rejected?

Given: 𝑥=
ҧ 112.5 𝜇 = 110 s= 5 n = 15
STEP 1: state the hypothesis.
𝐻0 = 𝜇 = 110
𝐻𝛼 = 𝜇 ≠ 110

STEP 2: THE LEVEL OF SIGNIFACANCE IS 𝛼 = 0.01


and df= n-1
=15-1

STEP 3: DETERMINE THE CRITICAL VALUE
The z critical value is +-2.977
STEP 4: COMPUTE THE ONE SAMPLE z-TEST VALUE

112.5−110

STEP 5: DECISION RULE.


Do not reject the null hypothesis at 𝛼 = 0.01

STEP 6: CONCLUSION
Since we do not reject the null hypothesis, we can conclude that there is not enough
evidence to support the claim that the average weight of 110 pounds.
Example #3
The average family size in the Philippines was reported as
4.25. A random sample in a particular street resulted in the
following family sizes: 5,6,7,4,3,8,2 and 9. At α= 0.10, is the
average family size more than the national average?

Given: 𝜇 = 4.25 n = 8
STEP 1: state the hypothesis.
𝐻0 = 𝜇 ≤ 4.25
𝐻𝛼 = 𝜇 > 4.25

STEP 2: THE LEVEL OF SIGNIFACANCE IS 𝛼 = 0.10


and df= n-1

STEP 3: DETERMINE THE CRITICAL VALUE
The z critical value is 1.415

STEP 5: DECISION RULE.


Reject the null hypothesis at 𝛼 = 0.10

STEP 6: CONCLUSION
Since we reject the null hypothesis, we can conclude that there is enough evidence to
support the claim that the average family size is more than 4.25.
SW#4

A recent article in a leading magazine claimed that the


homemakers spend an average of 22 hrs per week preparing
meals. A director of marketing at a food-processing company
surveyed that a recent sample of 28 homemakers resulted in
an average time preparation of meals of 17.5 hrs per week,
with a standard deviation of 4.3 hrs. Can the director conclude
that the average preparation of meals is lesser? Use 0.05
significance level.
