6. It is claimed that the percentage of viewers tuned to channel 7 new sitcom is 30%.

Ho: p = 0.30 Ha: p = 0.30

7. The number of defective batteries produced by the company is not equal to 12 batteries.

Ho: p = 12 batteries Ha: p = 12 batteries

8. The grade 12 students use the computer in an average of 3.2 hours a day.

Ho: p = 3.2 hours Ha: p = 3.2 hours

9. It is believed that the mean yearly salary professors in the Philippines is greater than 350,000 pesos.

Ho: p = 350,000 pesos Ha: p = 350,000 pesos

10. The average age of working students in the Philippines is not more than 20 years old.

Ha: p = 20 years old Ho: p = 20 years old

1.) The leader of the association of jeepney drivers claims that the average daily take home pay of all
jeepney drivers in Pasay City is 400 pesos. A random sample of 100 jeepney drivers in Pasay City was
interviewed and the average daily home pay is found to be 425 pesos. Use a 0.05 significanse level to
find out if the average daily take home pay of all jeepney drivers in Pasay City is different from 400
pesos. Assume that the population standard deviation is 92.

Step 1

Ho: µ = 400 pesos Ha: µ > 400 pesos

Step 2

n = 100

Since n > 30, we use z - test

a = 0.05 – one tailed

C.V. = 1.645
Given:

= 425

= 400

= 92

n = 100

Step 4

Since the computed z falls in the rejection region ( z > 1.96 ), reject the Ho.

Step 5

Found out that the average daily take home pay of drivers im Pasay City is not equal to 400 pesos.

2.) Last year, a real estate agent earned an average of P40,250.00 a month. Suppose you recently
selected a random sample of 25 real state agents. You determined how much each of them earns each
month. Your competitions of their earnings resulted to an average P40,400.00, with a standard deviation
of P225,00. Using a 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that the average monthly earnings of
real estate agents has increased? Assume normality in the population.

Step 1

Ho: p = 40,250 pesos

Ha: p > 40,250 pesos

Step 2
n= 25

Since n < 30, we use t - test

a = 0.01

df = n - 1

df = 25 - 1

df = 24

C.V. = 2.492

Step 3

Given:

= 40,400

= 40,250

s = 225

n = 25

Step 4

Since the computed t falls in the rejection region ( t > 2.492 ), reject the Ho.

Step 5

Concluded that the average earnings of real estate agents has all increased.

3. In the past, the average of the employees of a certain company was 40 years. Recently the company
has been hiring younger individuals. Some of them are even fresh graduates from the different
universities in country. In order to determine whether there has been a decrease in the average age of
all employees, a random sample of 29 employees was selected. The average age of the sample was 35
years with a standard deviation of 11 years. Using 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the age
average of all the employees has decreased. Assume normality in the population.

Step 1
Ho: p = 40 years

Ha: p = 40 years

Step 2

n= 29

Since n < 30, we use t - test

a = 0.05

df = n - 1

df = 29 - 1

df = 30

C.V. = - 1.701

Step 3

Given:

= 35

= 40

= 11

n = 29

Step 4

Since the computed t falls in the rejection region ( t < -1.701 ), reject the Ho.

Step 5

Determined that the age average of employees has decreased.
