Hypothesis Testing: Testing The Population Mean

This document contains 3 word problems involving hypothesis testing of population means. The problems ask the student to perform hypothesis tests at various significance levels and determine if there is enough evidence to reject null hypotheses based on sample data and information about population parameters. For each problem, the student is asked to show the steps of stating the null and alternative hypotheses, identifying the significance level, calculating the test statistic, stating the decision rule, and making a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. A rubric at the end scores the solutions out of 5 based on the completeness and correctness of the steps shown.

1. A researcher reports that the average salary of College Deans is more than Php 63,000. A sample of
35 College Deans has a mean salary of Php 65,700. At 𝛼 = 0.01, test the claim that the College Deans
earn more than Php 63 000 a month. The standard deviation of the population is Php 5,250.

Solution:

Step 1: Null and alternative hypothesis

2. One of the undersecretaries of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) claims that the
average salary of a civil engineer is Php 18,000. A sample of 19 civil engineer’s salary has a mean of
Php 17,350 and a standard deviation of Php 1,230. Is there enough evidence to reject the
undersecretary’s claim at 𝛼 = 0.01?

Solution:

Step 1: Null and alternative hypothesis

3. The operations manager of a sales company wants to see whether there is a significant difference in
the ages of male and female customers. He selected a sample of 35 samples for each group. The ages
are shown in the table below:
Male Female
𝑥̅1 = 27.3 𝑥̅2 = 28
𝜎1 = 2.4 𝜎2 = 3.1
𝑛1 = 35 𝑛2 = 35
At 𝛼 = 0.05, decide if there is enough evidence to reject the claim of no difference in the ages of the
two groups.

Solution:

Step 1: Null and alternative hypothesis


𝐻0 :
𝐻1 :

Step 2: Significance level 𝛼=

Step 3: Test statistic:

Step 4: Decision rule:
