Computing the Test
Statistic on
Population Mean
Example 1

Compute the z-value given the following


information. Use one-tailed test and 0.05
level of significance.
𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛: 𝑥ҧ = 71.5 𝜇 = 70 𝜎 = 8 𝑛 = 100
Example 2
In the first semester of the school year, a
random sample of 25 students got a mean
score of 81.72 with a standard deviation of
15 in Statistics and Probability test. The
population mean is 79.83. Use 0.05 level of
significance.
𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛: 𝑥ҧ =81.72 𝜇 = 79.83 s = 15 𝑛 = 25
Example 3
A banana company claims that the mean weight
of its banana is 150 grams with a standard
deviation of 18 grams. Data generated from a
sample of 49 bananas randomly selected
indicated a mean weight of 153.5 grams per
banana. Is there sufficient evidence to reject the
company’s claim? Use 𝛼 = 0.05.
Example 4
The mean time a customer waits in line before
checking in a grocery chain is less than 10
minutes. To verify the performance of the store,
the obtaining mean time of 25 costumers is 9.5
minutes with a standard deviation of 1.6 minute.
Use these data to test the claim of the grocery
chain, at 0.01 level of significance.
Seatwork 4
1. Mabunga Elementary School has 1,000 students. The
principal of the school thinks that the average IQ of students
at Mabunga is at least 110. To prove her point, she
administers an IQ test to 20 randomly selected students.
Among the sampled students, the average IQ is 108 with a
standard deviation of 10. Use α = 5%.
2. A survey reports the mean age at death in the Philippines is
70.95 years old. An agency examines 100 randomly selected
deaths and obtains a mean of 73 years with a standard
deviation of 8.1 years. At 1% level of significance, test
whether the agency’s data support the alternative
hypothesis that the population mean is greater than 70.95.
