Hypothesis Testing Exercise (1)

The document outlines a series of hypothesis testing scenarios involving various metrics such as mall footfalls, mutual fund investments, share prices, tea stall sales, defective parts, petrol mileage of cars, student test scores, tensile strength of products, and customer time spent in an ice cream parlour. Each question presents a specific statistical hypothesis to be tested at designated significance levels, utilizing sample data to draw conclusions. The scenarios involve calculating test statistics and determining whether the sample means differ significantly from hypothesized population means.

Hypothesis Testing

Q1.The footfall in a mall is an important metric for the success of a mall. Footfalls refer to the
number of visitors to the mall. Mr. Anup, who heads the marketing function in Fun Independent
Malls Limited, was studying the footfalls in their mall. The mall was located in the Gurgaon. He
selected a sample of 50 days and found that the mean footfall on these days was 48,526 persons
with the standard deviation of 4256. Test whether the hypothesised population mean of footfalls in
the place is 50,000persons.

Q2. Mr. Niraj pandey has been selling mutual fund products for the past 10 years. The last year has
been very successful for him. He was able to increase the number of clients served. Data from a
sample of 20 clients served by him indicate that the average money invested by his clients is 8,500
rupees and standard deviation is 1000 rupees. Set the relevant hypothesis to test if the average
money invested by all clients is at least 8,250 rupees.

Q3. Prices of a share (in Rupees) of a company on the different days in a month was:

66, 65, 69, 70, 69,71,70,63, 64 and 68.

Test whether the mean price of the shares in the month is 65/ at 5% level of significance.

Q4. A tea stall near the New Delhi Railway Station is making sales of 500 teacups per day. Because of
the development of bus stand nearby, it expects to increase its sales. During the first 12 days after
the start of the bus stand, the daily sales was recorded which are as under:

550, 570,490, 615,505,580,570,460,600,580,530,526.

On the basis of this sample information, can one conclude that the tea stall’s sales have increased?

Use 5% level of significance.

Q5. In a sample of 800 parts manufactured by a company, 60 parts are found to be defective.
However, the company claims that only 7 per cent of their product is defective. Apply an appropriate
test to verify the company’s claim.

Z calculated= 0.554

Q6. Two types of new cars produced in India are tested for petrol mileage. One group consists of 36
cars averaged 14 km per litre. While the other group consisting of 72 cars averaged 12.5 km per litre.

(a) What test statistic is appropriate, if Population variances are 1.5 and 2 respectively?
(b) Test whether there exists a significant difference in the petrol consumption of these two
types of cars. ( use 1 % level of significance).

Q7. An Educational Institute conducted a study to investigate difference between the scores of male
and female students on the Aptitude Test. The study identified a random sample of 562 female and
852 male students who had achieved the same high score on the mathematics/data handling portion
of the test.

The scores for the two samples are as given :

Female Students: mean = 547 , s.d.=83 ; Male student : mean = 525 , s.d.=78
Hypothesis Testing

Do the data support the conclusion that the female students have higher mathematical ability? Test
at 5 % level of significance.

Q8. A product is produced in two ways. A pilot test on 64 times from each method indicates that the
product of Method I has sample mean tensile strength 106lbs and a standard deviation 12 lbs,
whereas in Method II the corresponding values of mean and standard deviation are 100 lbs and 10
lbs respectively. Greater tensile strength is preferable. Use an appropriate test to check whether
Method I is better for processing the product.

9. Iceberg is an ice cream parlour in Mangalore. Mr. Yogesh Pai, the entrepreneur who started
Iceberg knows that the turnover of the outlet is directly proportional to the amount of time spent
in the parlour by the customers. If a customer spends more time in the ice cream parlour, then the
customer ends up spending more. He took a sample of 24 customers, and the time spent by these
customers is given below. His experience shows that if the customer spent 56 minutes then the
turnover of the parlour would be good. Based on the sample data, check the time spent by the
customers is significantly different from 56 minutes or not. Use 0.05 level of significance to make
your conclusion.
