Quiz/Activity 4

Solve the following problems using appropriate statistical tools and 5 steps of hypothesis testing

1. A public administrator wants to figure out if there are an equal number of Partido Demokratiko
Pilipino (PDP) and Liberal Party (LP) appointed to key positions in the provincial office. She takes a
random sample of 10 people (n=10). Use 0.05 level of significance.

Dat Observed
a
PDP 4
LP 6

Use the 5 steps of hypothesis testing.

1. State null and alternative hypothesis

Ho: The number appointed to the key positions of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) and

Liberal Party (LP) in the provincial office are equal.

H1: The number appointed to the key positions of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) and

Liberal Party (LP) in the provincial office are not equal.

2. Level of significance

α = 0.05

3. Statistical Tool

Chi-square of goodness-of-fit

4. Computation

PDP 4 5

5. Making Decision and Conclusion

Result shows that there was evidence [X2 (1) = 0.400, p = 0.527] that the number appointed to

the key positions of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) and Liberal Party (LP) in the provincial office are

equal at 0.05 level of significance. Since the p value was greater than 0.05, we fail to reject the null

hypothesis. This implies that the appointees to the key positions of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP)

and Liberal Party (LP) in the provincial office are equal in number.
2. A study was done on opinions concerning the legalization of marijuana at Paglaum College. One
hundred fifty-seven respondents were randomly selected from a large pool of faculty, students, and
parents at the college. Respondents were given a choice of favoring the legalization of marijuana,
opposing the legalization of marijuana, or favoring making marijuana a legal but controlled substance. Is
there significant relationship between the respondent’s status and choice? Use 0.05 level of
significance. The results of the survey were as follows.

5. Making decision and conclusion

 Based on the results, there was significant relationship between the respondent’s status and

choice concerning the legalization of marijuana [X2 (4) = 10.269, p = 0.036] at 0.05 level of significance.

Since the p value was less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. This implies that the respondent’s

status does associate with their choice concerning the legalization of marijuana.
