• Hypothesis Testing - the process

of hypothesis testing involves
making a decision between two
opposing hypotheses.
• Null and Alternative Hypothesis
• Either reject H0 or fail to reject
H0.

• The null hypothesis (denoted by H0) is
a statement saying that there is NO
significant difference between
population parameter and the value
that is being claimed.
 the starting point of the investigation.
 The symbolic form of the null
hypothesis is the symbol =.

Review!
 The alternative hypothesis (denoted by
H1 or Ha or HA) is the statement saying
that there is significant difference
between population parameter and the
value that is being claimed.
 This is a statement that will be true once
the null hypothesis is rejected.
 The symbolic form of the alternative
hypothesis must use one of these
symbols: , <, >.

A new food supplement is claimed by its

manufacturer that the weight of woman is
1.5 kilograms per month with a standard
deviation of 0.65 kg. 35 women chosen at
random have reported gaining weight an
average of 1.65 kilograms within a month.
Does this data support the claim of the
manufacturer at 0.05 level of significance?

d. Since, the critical value -1.960 < the
𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑑 z value 1.365 and the
𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑑 z value 1.365 < 1.960 which
falls within the acceptance region.
Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted.
e. There is no significant difference between
the sample mean and the population
mean. Thus, the manufacturer is correct in
claiming the weight of women is 1.5 kg per
month in using the new food supplement.

Example 2.
A sample of 8 measurements,
randomly selected from an
approximately normally distributed
population, resulted in the summary
statistics: 𝑋̅ =5.4, s= 1.3. Test the
null hypothesis that the mean of the
population is 6 against the
alternative hypothesis μ<6. Use
α=0.05. 15

d. Since, t 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑑 = -1.305 > -1.860
and falls within the acceptance
region. Therefore, the null
hypothesis is accepted
e. The sample does not provide enough
evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Thus, there is no significant difference
between the means.

Example 3
According to a study done last year, the average
monthly expenses for cell phone loads of high
school students in Manila was 350.00. A statistics
students believes that this amount has increases
since January of this year. Is there a reason to
believe that this amount has really increased if a
random sample of 60 students has an average
monthly expenses for cell phone loads of 380.00?
Use a 0.05 level of significance. Assume that the
population standard deviation is 77.00.

Example 4
A History teacher claims that the average
height of Filipino males is 163 centimeters.
A student taking up statistics randomly
selects 20 Filipino males with a standard
deviation of 2.1cm and it is found out that
the mean is 165 cm. Use 0.05 level of
significance. Can it be concluded that the
average heights of Filipino males is different
from 163 cm?

The students will show the steps in solving the
following problems through a video
presentation.
1. A recent survey stated that adults spend an
average of 8 hours a day playing mobile games. A
random sample of 50 adults is selected from a
normally distributed population of adults and noted
an average of 6 hours playing mobile games a day
with a standard deviation of 3 hours. Using the
0.05 level of significance, would you conclude that
the statement given in the survey is correct?
