Chapter 8: Hypothesis TEST

I. Testing the parameter of the population

1. A sample of size n=25 is drawn from a normally distributed population with a
variance of 64. If the sample mean is found to be 55.4, then at a significance level
of 0.05, conduct a hypothesis testing procedure. is the overall average of 52.
2. Through a sample of 100 families, it is found that the average monthly
expenditure of those families is VND 2,455 million with a standard deviation of
0.3 million. With the significance level of 0.05 can it be said that the average
monthly expenditure of families is less than 2.5 million or not. Assume a normally
distributed spending level.
3. The product weight (X) produced by the factory is a normally distributed
random variable with standard deviation σx = 2 kg and the mean weight is 20 kg.
Suspecting that the machine is not operating normally, changing the average
weight of the product, 100 products are tested and the following results are
obtained:
Weight 19 20 21 22 23
Number 10 60 20 5 5
With the significance level α = 0.05, let's conclude about the above doubt.
4. Main noodles are packed 453g per package on automatic machine. The weight
of the main noodles can be considered to follow the normal distribution with a
standard deviation of 36 grams. Random inspection of 81 packages found an
average weight of 448 grams. With the significance level α = 0.05, can it be
concluded that the weight of packages of instant noodles tends to be underpacked?
5. Under normal breeding conditions, the average milk production of a cow is 14
kg per day. Suspicion of poor cow rearing conditions led to a decrease in milk
production. 25 cows were randomly sampled and the average milk volume per cow
per day was 12.5 kg and the sample standard deviation s = 2.5 kg. With the
significance level α = 0.05, let's conclude about the above doubt. Assume cow's
milk is a normally distributed random variable.
6. The fuel consumption rate (X) for a type of car traveling on road segment AB is
a normally distributed random variable with a mathematical expectation of 50
liters. Due to the road renovation, it is expected that the average fuel consumption
has decreased. Observing 30 trips on road AB, we get the following table of data:
The fuel consumption (litre) Number
48,5 – 49,0 5
49,0 – 49,5 10
49,5 – 50,0 10
50,0 – 50,5 3
 50,5 – 51,0 2

a. With significance level α = 0.05, please conclude the above opinion.

b. Find the probability of making a second type error if the average fuel
consumption is actually 48 liters.
7. Two automatic machines for cutting metal bars are in charge and alignment by
the same technician. From each machine, take out 36 metal bars to test and get the
following results:
Machine 1: x1 = 12.5cm, s1=1.2cm
Machine 2: x2 = 12.2cm, s2= 1.4cm
So the significance level of 0.01 can be said that the length of the metal bars cut by
machine 1 is generally larger than the length of the metal bars cut by machine 2 or
not. Know the lengths of the metal bars cut by the machine normally distributed.
8. Two classes of students study statistics together and the results of the final exam
are as follows
Class A Class B
n1 = 64 n2 = 68
x1 =73,2 x2 = 76,6
s1=10,9 s2=11,2
With the significance level of 0.05, can it be said that the average test result of
class B is higher than that of class A?
9. To compare the average birth weight of infants in urban and rural areas, the
weight of 10,000 children was tested and the following results were obtained:
Region Total number Mean Standard deviation
Nông thôn 8000 3, kg 0,9kg
Thành thị 2000 3,2kg 0,4kg

With significance level a=0.05, can the average birth weight be considered higher
in cities than in rural areas? Assume birth weight is normally distributed

10. To compare the intellectual development of children in two different regions,

people randomly selected 38 children from the first region and 40 children from
the second region of the same age. Test the intelligence and get the following
results:
Rigion A Region B
𝑥̅ 1 =89,7 𝑥̅ 2 =94,5
s1= 12,2 s2= 13,05
At the significance level of 0.05, there is a significant difference in the intellectual
development of children in the two regions mentioned above or not.

II. Test the p parameter of the population

1. Test for a value of p
11. The shipment is eligible for export if the percentage of defective products does
not exceed 3%. Random inspection of 400 products of this consignment found 14
defectives. At the significance level of 0.05, export shipments are allowed.
12. The rate of scrap produced by an automatic machine is 5%. Random inspection
of 300 products found 24 products as waste. Since then, it has been suggested that
the percentage of waste products produced by that machine tends to increase. Let's
conclude the above opinion with significance level α = 0.05
13. If the first technological method is applied, the rate of scrap is 6%; If the
second technological method is applied, there are 5 defective products in 100
products. So can it be concluded that applying the second technological method,
the scrap rate is lower than that of the first technological method? Requires
conclusion with significance level α = 0.05.
14. The rate of patients recovering from disease T when treated with drug A is
85%. Experiments using drug B to treat disease, out of 900 people with T, 810
people were cured. So can it be concluded that drug B is more effective than drug
A?
2. Two-value p test
15. In two factories A and B, there are the following data on workers: Factory A
has 200 workers, in 1997 30 people applied to move to another place. Factory B
has 350 workers, in 1997 65 people quit. So, with the significance level of 0.05,
can it be said that the rate of workers quitting in factory A is lower than in factory
B?
16. At 9 o'clock at random, 50 parts produced by a machine are randomly selected,
5 parts are defective. And at 12 o'clock, when 40 parts are randomly produced by
the same machine, there are 7 broken parts. So with the significance level of 0.01
can it be said that the failure rate has really increased with the production time or
not?
17. The two lathes are the same but operate in different weather conditions. After a
period of production, it is suspected that the quality of their performance differs. Is
it true if out of 1000 products produced by machine 1 there are 140 defectives and
out of 2000 products produced by machine 2 there are 260 defectives. Let's
conclude with significance level α = 0.05.
III. Population variance test
1. One-variance test
18. A tube lamp manufacturer considers that lamp quality will be considered
uniform if the lamp life is within a standard deviation of 1000 hours or less.
Randomly taking 10 bulbs to test, we can find the standard deviation of the sample
s = 1150. So with the significance level of 0.05 can we consider the quality of the
bulbs produced by that company to be uniform or not? Know the life of a normally
distributed lamp.
19. The weight of the chick at birth is a normally distributed random variable.
Doubting the uniformity of weight loss of chicks was weighed against 12 chickens
and found s2 = 11.41 (grams)2. At the level of significance α = 0.05, conclude on
the above suspicion, knowing that the dispersion of chick weight is σ2 = 10
(grams)2.
2. Two-variance test
20. Two machines process the same part. One wants to check if these two
machines are exactly the same. To do this, people randomly take 7 parts from each
machine, measure and get the following results:
Machine A: 135 138 136 140 138 135 139
Machine B: 140 135 140 138 135 138 140
With a significance level of 0.05, can the two machines have the same accuracy?
Know the normal distribution detail sizes.
21. To compare the accuracy of the two measuring devices, samples were taken
and the following results were obtained:
Device A Device B
Measure 25 times Measure 20 times
Variance of error = 14.5 Variance of error = 17.2
Assume that the measurement error is a normally distributed random variable.
With the significance level of 0.05 can we assume that the accuracy of the two
devices is the same?
