1. An ecologist would like to show that Calamba City has an air pollution problem.

Specifically, she
would like to show that the mean level of Carbon Monoxide in Calamba City air is higher than 4.9 parts
per million. Do a random sample 25 readings, giving a mean of 5.1 and standard deviation of 2.1,
present sufficient evidence to accept this claim? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

2. A random sample of 100 recorded deaths in the Philippines during the past 2 years showed an
average life span of 60 years from WHO, with a standard deviation of 8.9 years. Does this seem to
indicate that the average life span today is smaller than 71.1 years? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

3. The average height of Females in the JHS of Mary Belle Montessori Inc. has been 162.5 centimeter. Is
there reason to believe that there has been a change in the height if the random sample of 25 females in
the present students in JHS has an average height of 165 cm? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
