Example 1

1. Ho = The 100 college students are not heavier than others. μ ≤40
Ha = The 100 college students are heavier than the rest 1. μ>40
2. α = 0.05
3. Z-Test: Sample Mean compared with a Population Mean
4. Tabular value for a z-test at 0.05 level of significance in a one-tailed test is ± 1.645
5. X = 47 kilos
𝜎 = 3 kilos
μ = 45 kilos
n = 100 students
( x−μ ) √ n ( 47−45 ) √ 100
6. z= = =6.67
σ 3
Null hypothesis is rejected because 6.67 is greater than the tabular value of 1.645

- The 100 college sampled students are heavier than the rest of the students.
