Answer the questions:


a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Is this a one- or-two tailed test?


What is the decision rule?
What is the value of test statistic?
What is your decision regarding HN?
What is the p-value? Interpret it.

1. The following information is available.


H N : =50
H A : 50
A sample size is 36 provided a sample mean is 0f 49. The population standard deviation =5.
Use the 0.05 significance level.
Population Mean:
Significance Level:
Population standard deviation:
Sample Size:

is known
0.05
= 5
n= 36

Sample Mean:

= 49

a. two tailed test .


b. Two tailed Z-test with =0.05
Z/2 = 1.96
Rejected H0 if z<-1.96 or z > 1.96 otherwise don't reject .
c. Test statistic
Z=
=

Z=

= 0.833
= -1.2

d. Decision and result:Z= -1.2 > -1.96


Don't reject H0
No, we can't say that is different from 50

2. The following information is available.


H N : 10
H A : 10
The sample mean is 12 for a sample of 36.The population standard deviation is 3. The
population standard deviation =5. Use the 0.05 significance level. Use the 0.02 significance
level.
Population Mean:
is known
Significance Level:
0.02
Population standard deviation:
= 3
Sample Size:
n= 36
Sample Mean:
= 12

a. one tailed test .


b. one tailed Z-test with =0.02
Z/2 =
0.5 0.02 = 0.48 look in table = 2.06
Rejected H0 if z >2.06 otherwise don't reject .

0.5 0.02 = 0.48

c. Test statistic
Z=
=

Z=

= 0.5
=4

d. Decision and result:Z= 4 > 2.06


reject H0
yes, the mean is more than 10
3. The following information is available.
H N : 220
H A : 220

R.R = 4

Steps of Hypothesis Testing: for ONE Tailed Hypothesis


a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Calculate z-value

/ n

Search for z-value from z-distribution table


Find value using: 0.5000- z-distribution value.
Compare value with C.V.( = 0.05 or 0.02 or 0.01.)
Using decision Rule ( conclusion) as:
If value -value. Reject H N and
If value

Accept H A .
-value. Accept H N and
Reject H A .

4. Consider the following hypothesis test:


H N : 25
H A : 25
A sample of 100 is used and the population standard deviation is assumed to be 12. Use =
0.05. Provide the value of the test statistic z and your conclusion for each of the following
sample results:

a) =23.5
Population Mean:
Significance Level:
Population standard deviation:
Sample Size:
Sample Mean:

one tailed test .


one tailed Z-test with =0.02

is known
0.05
= 12
n= 100
= 23.5

Z/2 =
0.5 0.05 = 0.45 look in table = 0.2088
Rejected H0 if z > 0.2088 otherwise don't reject .
e. Test statistic
Z=
=

Z=

= 1.2
= -1.25

f. Decision and result:Z= -1.21 < 2.088


Dont reject H0
no, the mean is less than 50

Steps of Hypothesis Testing: for ONE Tailed Hypothesis


a) Calculate z-value

/ n

b) Search for z-value from z-distribution table


c) Find Pr ob.ability value using: 0.5000- z-distribution value.
d) Compare Pr ob.ability value with C.V.( = 0.05 or 0.02 or
0.01.)
e) Using decision Rule ( conclusion) as:
If Pr ob.ability value -value(0.05). Reject H N and
If Pr ob.ability value -value.

Accept H A .
Accept H N and
Reject H A .
