Example 1

1. Ho = The 100 college students are not heavier than others

Ha = The 100 college students are heavier than the rest
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

Example 2

1. Ho = There is no significant difference between the given samples

Ha = There is a significant difference between the given samples
2. α = 0.01
3. Z-Test: Comparing Two Sample Means
4. The tabular value for a z-test at .01 level of significance is in a two- tailed test is

Example 3

1. Ho = There is no significant difference between the two sample proportions

Ha = There is a significant difference between the two samples proportions
2. α = 0.05
3. Comparing Two Sample Proportions
4. The tabular value for a z-test at 0.05 level of significance in a two-tailed test is ±1.96

2. α = 0.05
3. Sample Mean compared with a Population Mean
4. The tabular value for a z-test at 0.05 level of significance with a df of 25 in a one-tailed test is
