Qno:1 A company claims that the average time it takes to assemble a product is 30

minutes. To test this claim, a random sample of 50 products is selected, and the
average assembly time is found to be 32 minutes with a standard deviation of 4
minutes. Assuming the assembly time follows a normal distribution, can we reject
the company's claim at a significance level of 0.05?
Given data: x̄ = 32, μ = 30, n = 50, sd=4, test is two-tailed
Solution:
H0: μ = 30
H1: μ ≠ 30
The test statistic: t = (x̄ - μ) / (s / √n),
To determine the critical value: A significance level of 0.05/2 = 0.025, with df = n
- 1 = 50 - 1 = 49, the critical t-value for a significance level of 0.025 and df = 49
are approximately ±2.009.
Because 2.236 > 2.009, the test statistic is in the rejection range.
We have adequate data to reject the company's claim that the average assembly
time is 30 minutes at a significance level of 0.05. According to the sample data, the
average assembly time is much more than 30 minutes.

Question 2:
In a survey of 500 people, 280 said they prefer brand A over brand B. Is there
sufficient evidence to support the claim that more than half of the population
prefers brand A over brand B? Use a significance level of 0.01?
Given data: n = 500 , p̂ = 280/500 = 0.56, p = 0.5, one-tailed z-test, significance
level of 0.01
Solution:
H0: p ≤ 0.5
H1: p > 0.5
Z-test formula: z = (p̂ - p) / √ [(p * (1 - p)) / n]
Z= (0.56 - 0.5) / √ [(0.5 * (1 - 0.5)) / 500] = 2.213
The critical z-value for the normal distribution with a significance level of 0.01 is
2.326.
We fail to reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic, 2.213 < 2.326,
and does not fall within the rejection zone.
We do not have enough evidence to support the claim that more than half of the
public prefers brand A over brand B at a significance level of 0.01.
Question 3:
A car manufacturer wants to determine if the proportion of defective cars in a
particular model is greater than 5%. A random sample of 500 cars is selected, and it
is found that 40 of them are defective. Conduct a hypothesis test at a significance
level of 0.05 to determine if there is sufficient evidence to support the
manufacturer's claim.
Given: n = 500, p̂ = 40/500 = 0, p = 0.05
Solution:
H0: p ≤ 0.05
H1: p > 0.05
Z-test formula = (0.08 - 0.05) / √ [(0.05 * (1 - 0.05)) / 500] = 1.33
The z-value at a significance level of 0.05 is 1.645 when using a normal
distribution table. The test statistic does not fall in the rejection region because
1.33 < 1.645.
We do not have enough evidence to support the manufacturer's assertion that the
proportion of defective automobiles in the particular model is larger than 5% at a
significance level of 0.05.
Question 4:
A school district claims that the average score of its students on a standardized test
is higher than the national average, which is 75. To test this claim, a random
sample of 100 students is selected, and their average score is found to be 78 with a
standard deviation of 5. Can we reject the school district's claim at a significance
level of 0.05?
Given: x̄ = 78, μ = 75, sd = 5, n = 100, one-tailed, df=99
Solution:
H0: μ ≤ 75
H1: μ > 75
t-test formula = (78 - 75) / (5 / √100) = 3 / 0.5 = 6
Determine the critical value: Using a t-table, the critical t-value at a significance
level of 0.05 and df = 99 is approximately 1.660.
Because 6 > 1.660, the test statistic is in the rejection range. The null hypothesis is
rejected.
We have adequate evidence at a significance level of 0.05 to reject the school
district's assertion that the average test score of its students is 75 or less.
Question 5:
A marketing team claims that the proportion of customers who prefer their brand
has increased from 0.4 to 0.5 after a recent advertising campaign. To test this
claim, a survey is conducted with a random sample of 200 customers, and 120 of
them prefer the brand. Conduct a hypothesis test at a significance level of 0.05 to
determine if there is sufficient evidence to support the marketing team's claim.
Given: n = 200, p̂ = 120/200 = 0.6, p = 0.4, one-tailed
Solution:
H0: p ≤ 0.4
H1: p > 0.4
z = (0.6 - 0.4) / √ [(0.4 * (1 - 0.4)) / 200] = 4.472
The z-value at a significance level of 0.05 is 1.645.
Because 4.472 > 1.645, the test statistic is in the rejection range. The null
hypothesis is rejected.
We have enough evidence at a significance level of 0.05 to support the marketing
team's assertion that the proportion of customers who prefer their brand increased
from 0.4 to 0.5 following the advertising campaign.
