Read, understand and solve each item carefully. Show your complete solution on the answer sheet column.

Direction: Solve each problem showing all the necessary steps and computations.
1. Given are the capital shares of 12 randomly chosen member accounts of a certain cooperative.
Shared Capital: 7500, 12800, 9650, 13000, 25000, 15000, 15500, 17250, 18600, 21050, 16750,
17800, 15000, 22100, 10210
Can it be claimed that the average capital share of the members is significantly different
from 16,000? Use a 1% level of significance and follow the necessary steps below: (10 points)

i. Null and Alternative Hypothesis (both in symbols and statement form)

Ho:µ=16000
The average capital share of members is not significantly different from 16,000
Ha:µ≠16000
The average capital share of members is significantly different from 16,000
ii. Level of Significance; sample size; test statistics,
S=4802.57, level of significance =0.01, n=15, test statistics: T-Test, Mean=15814
iii. Decision Rule

v. Decision AND Conclusion:

Decision: Failed to reject Ho as the computed t value is outside the shaded region.
Conclusion: The average capital share of the members is not significantly different
from 16,000

2. A sample of 800 items produced on a new machine showed that 48 of them are defective. The
factory will get rid the machine if the data indicates that the proportion of defective items is
significantly more than 5%. At a significance level of 5%, is there enough evidence to get rid of
the machine? The following steps should be indicated in your answer: (10 points)

i. Null and Alternative Hypothesis (both in symbols and statement form)

Ho:µ≤0.05
The proportion of defective materials is at most 5%
Ha: µ>0.05
The average capital share of members is significantly different from 16,000
ii. Level of Significance; sample size; test statistics
Level of Significance: 0.05, n=800, p=0.06, qo= 0.95
iii. Decision Rule

iv. Computation: Paste here the solution you made using Excel; or write your manual
computation.
v. Decision AND Conclusion:
Decision: Failed to reject Ho since 1.2978 is less than the z critical value of 1.96
Conclusion: There is no reason to get rid of the machine as the proportion of
defective items is at most 5%
