Statistics and Probability Q2W1Activities

The document provides instructions and examples for statistical hypothesis testing problems. It includes 3 sample hypothesis testing problems that require determining the null and alternative hypotheses, whether the test is one-tailed or two-tailed, the level of significance, whether to use a z-test or t-test, the critical value, computed value, and whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The problems cover testing claims about tire life, restaurant waiting times, and student height over time.

Statistics and Probability

Quarter 2 Week 1 Activity

Directions: For each of the problems below, kindly give/ determine each of the following:

a. Null and Alternative Hypothesis

b. One-tailed or two-tailed test?

c. Level of Significance

d. z-test or t-test?

e. Critical z-value / t-value

f. Computed z-value / t-value

g. Decision (Accept or Reject Ho?)

1. A manufacturer of tires claim that their tire has a mean life of at least 50,000kms. A

random sample of 28 of these tires is tested and the sample mean is 33,000kms.

Assume that the population standard deviation is 3,000kms and the lives of the tires

are approximately normally distributed.

2. The waiting time to be seated at the restaurant has population standard deviation of

10 minutes. An expensive restaurant claims that the average waiting time for dinner

is approximately 1 hour, but we suspect that this claim is inflated to make the

restaurant appear more exclusive and successful. A random sample of 30 customers

yielded a sample average waiting time of 50 minutes.

3. Based on the report of the school nurse, the average height of Grade 11 students

has increased. Five years ago, the average height of Grade 11 students was 170cm

with a standard deviation of 38cm. She took a random sample of 150 students and

derived the average height of 165cm.
