 II. Complete for the missing information.

1. Rios Company is manufacturing steel wire with an average tensile strength

of 50 kilos. The laboratory test of 16 pieces showed that the mean was 45 kilos
with a standard deviation of 5 kilos, is it correct for the company to claim that
the tensile strength of steel wire produce is 50 kilos?
Solution:
1. Ho- The average tensile strength of steel wire is not equal to 50 kilos.

Ha- The average tensile strength of steel wire is equal to 50 kilos.

2. The level of significance is set at 0.01.

3. Determine the type of test used: t-test, sample mean compared with population mean
4. Tabular value:
df= n-1
df =16-1
df = 15

two-tailed test ; t value = 2.947

5. Computation
𝑥̅ = 45, 𝑛 = 16, 𝜇 = 50, 𝜎 = 5

t = 3.87
1. Conclusion:
The computed value is greater than the tabulated value, therefore, the null
hypothesis is rejected. The average tensile strength of the steel wire is equal to 50
kilos.
2. A controversial issue need to be resolved by officials of a certain university
with regards to absenteeism of students. The group supports the idea that
absenteeism of students will not affect their academic performance, and
should never be a reason for failing. A group of 24 students who were found
to have absences in their classes were considered in the study and showed
an average academic performance of 85.78. The average performance of the
students in that university was recorded at 82.98 with a standard deviation of
24.87. Test if absenteeism should never be a reason for students’ failure in the
class. Test at 99% level of confidence.
Solution:
1. Ho- Absenteeism has no effect with students’ academic performance and their
reason for failing.

Ha- Absenteeism has an effect with students’ academic performance and their
reason for failing.

2. The level of significance is set at 0.01.

3. Determine the type of test used. z – test, one sample

4. Tabular value: Two-tailed, 0.01, Tabular value: 2.58

5. Computation
𝑥̅ = 85.78, 𝑛 = 24, 𝜇 = 82.98, 𝜎 = 24.87

z = 0.552
6. Conclusion
The computed value is not significant enough to reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, students’ absenteeism has no effect to their academic performance and
reason for failing.
3. A university professor wish to find out if the computer aided instructions
really improved students’ performance in his mathematics class. He used two
groups of students with similar intelligence in his actual experimental research.
Group A with 25 students make used of the traditional method of teaching and
Group B with 25 students used the computer aided instructions. Post test
revealed that Group A has a computed mean of 84 while group B averaged to
87. if the computed standard deviation for the whole class is 7.89, is it safe to
conclude that the computer aided instructions really improved students’
performance in mathematics class.
Solution:
1. Ho- The computer aided instructions did not improve students’ performance in Mathematics
class.

Ha- The computer aided instructions improved students’ performance in Mathematics

class.

2. The level of significance is set at 0.01.

3. Determine the type of test used: z -test, two sample

4. Tabular value

One tailed, 0.01

Tabular Value: 2.33

5. Computation
6. Conclusion
The computed value is less than the tabulated value, therefore we fail to reject the null
hypothesis. Computer aided instructions did not improve the students’ performance in Math.
5. The average typing speed of a good typist was recorded at 75 words per
minute. 24 typists from one of the country’s prestigious company were tried
and given a typing test. Results showed that the average typing speed of the
said typists were recorded at 55 words per minute with a computed standard
deviation of 15.78. Is it safe to conclude that the 24 typists are below the
average?
Solution:

1. Ho – The average typing speed of the typists are above or equal to 75 words per
minute.
Ha - The average typing speed of the typists are below 75 words per minute.

2. Set the level of significance – 0.05

3. Type of test to be used t – test, comparing two sample means
4. Determine the tabular value:

df = 24 – 1 = 23
one tailed test tabular value: 1.714

5. Compute for the value

𝑥̅ = 55, 𝑛 = 24, 𝜇 = 75, 𝜎 = 15.78

6. Statethe conclusion: There is not enough evidence that the population mean is less
than 75 at the 0.05 level of significance. Therefore the null hypothesis is rejected.
6. A research was conducted so as to establish strong linkages between
academic achievements of OFW and Non-OFW children. Records of ten

6. Conclusion

There is not enough evidence to claim that the population mean is different than the
significant level. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
7. Records from the registrar’s office showed that the mean grade of
Engineering student was recorded at 87.45. Grades of 30 Engineering
student was taken and the mean was found to be 89 with a standard

the rest.
8. At the beginning of the school year, the average achievement test of the
student was recorded at 45. The reason given out for the low average was
students’ very low comprehension skill. 35 students were subjected to rigid
reading comprehension technique and was found to have an average of
56 with a standard deviation of 7.89. Has the sample made a significant
progress because of the rigid reading comprehension technique? Use
0.01 level of significance.

 10. A group of women claimed that female employees received lower
payments as compared to their male counterparts, although they were
found to be equal in educational qualifications. They conducted a study to
support if the claim was true. A total of 32 women currently employed
received a mean annual salary of 125, 345 with a standard deviation of
1456.78. While another group of 32 male workers were considered in the
