    This document provides 3 examples of one-tailed and two-tailed tests. Example 1 requires a two-tailed test to determine if a machine's average diameter production has changed. Example 2 requires a one-tailed test to determine if a barangay's average monthly income has increased. Example 3 requires a one-tailed test to determine if a university's average freshman IQ has decreased.

    ONE-TAILED & TWO-

    TAILED TESTS
    Examples
    Example 1
     A machine is used to produce a precision
    part of an automobile. The diameter of one
    particular item should be 5 cm with a slight
    tolerable allowance on both sides, that is,
    the diameter can be slightly wider or
    narrower but for as long as the average
    diameter of the parts being produced stays
    at 5 cm, the machine is functioning well.
    Since the machine has already been used
    for several years, the manufacturer feels
    that it is time to check the machine.
    Example 1. cont
    If it is no longer functioning well, the average
    diameter could be wider or narrower than 5
    cm.
     One way of checking is to test a hypothesis

    by taking a random sample of the parts


    being manufactured.

     What test will this problem require?


    Example 1. cont

     TWO-TAILED TEST.

     Why?
    Example 1. cont

     TWO-TAILED TEST.

     Why?

     Answer:

    It is NOT a case of the malfunctioning


    machine producing parts with consistently
    narrower diameter only (or with
    consistently wider diameter only )
    Example 1. cont

     How shall we state the null hypothesis of this


    situation?

     NULL HYPOTHESIS

    That the average diameters of the part


    being manufactured has not changed.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 1. cont

     How shall we state the alternative hypothesis


    of this situation?

     ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

    That the average diameters of the part


    being manufactured has changed.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 2.
     A barangay captain feels that on the whole,
    households in his barangay are better-off
    financially now compared to several years
    ago. He feels this because he has observed
    that mothers seem to be visiting groceries
    and supermarkets more often and that he
    has received less complaints lately.
    Furthermore, he knows that quite a number
    of husbands have gone abroad to work as
    OFWs, where incomes are much better than
    they are in the Philippines.
    Example 2.cont
     He knows from a survey
    conducted several years back that the
    average monthly income was Php
    20,000. he decides to find out if the
    monthly family income in his barangay
    may have possibly increased by taking
    a sample households. He then tests
    his hypothesis.
    Example 2. cont

     How shall we state the null hypothesis of this


    situation?

     NULL HYPOTHESIS

    That the average monthly family income


    In the barangay has not changed.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 2. cont

     How shall we state the alternative hypothesis


    of this situation?

     ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

    That the average monthly family income


    In the barangay has increased.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 2. cont.
     Clearly, the indicators to
    the barangay captain suggest
    that the incomes may have
    possibly increased. There is no
    suggestion at all that incomes
    may have decreased.
    Example 3.
     A university requires an IQ test for all
    incoming freshmen students and accepts
    only those who qualify, that is, those whose
    IQ’s are above a minimum requirement. It is
    known that the average IQ of the
    university’s freshmen students is 95.
    However for economic reasons ( on the part
    of the university and on the part of the
    parents of the students), the IQ test for
    incoming freshmen has been suspended for
    the past 3 years.
    Example 3. Cont
     Lately, some teachers have been
    complaining that the students in their
    freshmen classes have been getting
    somewhat lower grades and this appears
    to be a persistent claim by quite number
    of teachers. The university officials
    decide to find out if the IQ level of
    freshmen students has decreased. They
    take a sample of freshmen students and
    test a hypothesis.
    Example 3. cont

     How shall we state the null hypothesis of this


    situation?

     NULL HYPOTHESIS

    That the average IQ of freshmen


    students has not changed.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 3. cont

     How shall we state the alternative hypothesis


    of this situation?

     ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

    That the average IQ of freshmen


    students has decreased.

    That is, Ho:


     
    Example 3. cont
      
    The evidence based on claims suggests that
    IQ has decreased. This is supported by the
    inequality statement Ha:

     It cannot be stated as , and definitely not as .
