Set A (Girls) 50pts

1. A medical doctor claims that 40% of the patients utilize health insurance, but a social worker thinks that this proportion may
be is too high. In a sample of 100 medical bills, 25 were partially covered by health insurance, what can we conclude at 0.02
level of significance.
Solution: 1: Ho: p = 40% HA: p < 40% 2: α = 0.02
3: Reject the Ho if z < -2.05, where:
x−n p0
z=
√ n p 0 (1− p0 )
4: z = [25 – (100*.4)]/√100*.4(1-.4) = -3.0619
5: Since -3.069 < -2.05, Ho Rejected
2. A registrar claims that 45% of their students change their major after their 2 nd yr due to retention policy. A random sample of
125 revealed that 50 students had changed their major after their 2 nd yr. Is there a decrease in the proportion of students
who changed their major after their 2nd yr, test at 0.02 level of significance.
Solution: 1: Ho: p = 45% HA: p < 45% 2: α = 0.02
3: Reject the Ho if z < -2.05, where:
x−n p0
z=
√ n p 0 (1− p0 )
4: z = [50 – (125*.45)]/√125*.45(1-.45) = -1.1237
5: Since -1.1237 in not < -2.05, Ho Accepted
3. A barangay captain claims that at least 85% of the residents in his barangay have household pets. To test this claim a
researcher randomly selected a sample of 550 residents and find that 495 of them do have pets. What can you conclude at
0.10 level of significance.
Solution: 1: Ho: p = 85% HA: p < 85% 2: α = 0.10
3: Reject the Ho if z < -1.28, where:
x−n p0
z=
√ n p 0 (1− p0 )
4: z = [495 – (550*.85)]/√550*.85(1-.85) = 3.2839
5: Since 3.2839 is not < -1.28, Ho Accepted
4. Test at 0.01 whether the performance in the training program and success in the job are independent

4: X = (23-18.31) /18.31 + … + (63-47.7) /47.7 = 4.129929813+ 7.624271751+.81/94 = 12.6159
5: Since 12.6159 is not > 13.277 Ho Accepted
Set B (Boys)
1. A barangay captain claims that at least 25% of the residents in his barangay have household pets. To test this claim a
researcher randomly selected a sample of 50 residents and find that 13 of them do have pets. What can you conclude at 0.10
level of significance.
Solution: 1: Ho: p = 25% HA: p < 25% 2: α = 0.10
3: Reject the Ho if z < -1.28, where:
x−n p0
z=
√ n p 0 (1− p0 )
4: z = [13 – (50*.25)]/√50*.25(1-.25) = 0.1633
5: Since 0.1633 is not < -1.28, Ho Accepted
2. A researcher made a survey regarding the proportion of male and female college students who dropped their
subject before midterm exam. In a sample of 600 female students, 49 dropped their subject before midterm and
in a sample of 450 male students, 36 dropped their subject before midterm. Is there a difference at 0.02 level of
significance.
Solution: 1) Ho: p1 = p2 HA: p1 ≠ p2 2: α = 0.02
3) Reject the Ho if z </> ± 2.33

3. The sales rep of a waterbed claims that 25% of the Filipino died because of cardiovascular diseases. A researcher
wants to test this claim. A hospital record shows that out of a random sample of 200 dead patients, 55 patients
died because of cardiovascular diseases. Does the data provide sufficient evidence to support the claim of the
sales rep? Use 0.03 level of significance.
Solution: 1: Ho: p = 25% HA: p ≠ 25% 2: α = 0.03
3: Reject the Ho if z >/< ±2.17, where:
x−n p0
z=
√ n p 0 (1− p0 )
4: z = [55 – (200*.25)]/√200*.25(1-.25) = 0.8165
5: Since 0.8165 is not > 2.17, Ho Accepted
