The ability of two kinds of fertilizers to increase the yield of certain species of
sugar cane is under investigation. Six plots of sugar cane for experimentation
are prepared.
Problem:
What fertilizer/s could increase the yield of certain species of sugar cane?
Determine the fertilizers that can improve the yield of certain species of
sugar cane.

Sub-problem/s:
What are the other effects of fertilizers to the growth factor of the species of
sugar cane?

Hypothesis:
Ha: The first/second type of fertilizer has a significant effect in increasing the
yield of a certain species of sugar cane.

Ho: The first/second type of fertilizer has no significant effect in increasing the
yield of a certain species of sugar cane.
2. An investigation is done on the tensile strength of paper produced from talahib,
cogon and corn leaves. Two methods of producing pulp from the plant samples are
compared. Ten samples of each kind of plant source are prepared.

Problem:
How to produce paper-like material from alternative resources?
Production of paper-like material made of alternative resources

Sub-problem/s:
What specific material has a potential to be the main ingredient in the
production of paper?

Hypothesis:
Ha: Material 1 (talahib) is an effective material in the production of paper.
Ho: Material 2 (cogon) is not an effective material in the production of paper.
3. Fifteen mice were used in investigating the effect of formalin-treated eggplants and
tomatoes. Livers of experimental and control mice were examined for abnormalities
particularly lesions.

Problem:
How do formalin contaminants in food affect internal organs of organisms?
The effects of formalin contaminants in food to the internal organs of organisms.

Sub-problem/s:
What are other abnormalities in the internal organs (liver) that is possibly caused by
formalin contaminants?
Abnormalities brought by food contamination of formalin to the internal organs of an
organism.

Hypothesis:
Ha: Formalin contaminants in food has a direct effect to the internal organs.
Ho: Formalin contaminants has no direct effect to the internal organs.
