    This document reports on a test of the compressive strength of concrete cylinders. It provides the compressive strength measurements of 8 cylinders divided into 4 samples. It calculates the population mean of 2611 psi using cylinders A1 and A2, and the sample mean of 2871 psi using all cylinders. The t-statistic is calculated as 2.14, which exceeds the critical t-value of 2.015 for a 95% confidence level. Therefore, the null hypothesis that the population and sample means are equal is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

    TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS FOR CONCRETE’S

    COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH

    Cylinder A-1 2616


    Cylinder A-2 2605
    Cylinder B-1 3248

    Cylinder B-2 3251


    Cylinder C-1 2739
    Cylinder C-2 2712
    Cylinder D-1 2584
    Cylinder D-2 2691

    Let : Cylinders A 1 and 2 be the representation for population


    Cylinders B C D be the representation for samples

    µ or Population’s mean = (2616+2605)/2 = 2611


    X bar or Samples Mean= (3248+3251+2739+2712+2584+2691)/6 = 2871

    Using Excel 2016

    µ 2611

    X bar 2871

    S 298

    N 6
    Where : µ or population’s mean
    Xbar or Samples Mean
    S or standard deviation
    N or number of samples

    t = (xbar-µ)/[(s)/sqrt of(n))]
    t = (2871-2611) / (298 / sqrt of 6)
    t = 2.14

    From t-table, using 95 % level of significance and degrees of freedom = 5


    critical t = 2.015

    Interpreting the data, t > critical t, which means:

    H1 is accepted and H0 is disregarded
