Read and understand the problems carefully. Work on the problems and follow the step-by
step procedures - from null hypothesis to recommendations.

1. A copier machine operator claimed that he makes an average number of copies of at

least 5000 per day with standard deviation of 75 copies. To make sure that he has
enough supplies and understocking, he monitored the number of copies he produced
for 30 days which was noted at an average of 5105. At a .05 level of significance, is
the average number of copies produced per day is different from 5000?

Null Hypothesis:
The average number of copies made in a day is 5000.

Alternative hypothesis:
The average number of copies made in a day is different from 5000.

Level of Significance:
.05/2 = 0.025

Critical z-value:
= +1.96

Normal Curve:

-1.96 +1.96
Decision Rule:
Reject null hypothesis if Z<-1.96 or Z>+1.96; otherwise, do not reject null hypothesis.

Computation:
Z = (xbar - )/ (δ/ √n)ɥ
= (5105 – 5000) / (75/√30)
= 105/13.693
= 7.67

Conclusion:
Reject hypothesis, 7.67>1.96. That is, there is enough evidence to support that the
average number of copies made in a day is more than 5000.

Recommendation:
Based on the findings, the operator should raise the number of supplies he can produce every
day to avoid understocking and to ensure that there will be enough supplies.

2. A Social Media Agency reported that college students spent an average of 30 hours per
week on Facebook with standard deviation of 2.5 hours. To find out if this still true, a
new survey was conducted among 50 students and reported an average of 28 hours
spent on Facebook. At a .01 level of significance, is there average number of hours
which college students spent on Facebook different from 30 hours?

Null hypothesis:
The average hour spent on Facebook by college student per week is 30 hours.

Alternative hypothesis:
The average hour that the college student spent on Facebook per week is different from
30 hours.

Level of Significance
0.01/2 = 0.005

Critical z-value:
= +2.575

Normal Curve:

-2.575 +2.575

Decision Rule:
Reject null hypothesis if Z<-2.575 or Z>+2.575; otherwise, do not reject null
hypothesis.

Computation:
Z = (xbar - )/ (δ/ √n)ɥ
= (28 – 30) / (2.5/√50)
= -2/0.36
= -5.66

Conclusion:
Reject null hypothesis, -5.66<-2.575; which means that there is enough evidence to
prove that the number of hours college students spend on Facebook is different from 30 hours.

Recommendation:
This shows that the average hours spent by college students on Facebook is different
from 30, which equates to a full day of their lives being consumed every week for the primary
intention of utilizing social media. Also, students must limit their usage of gadgets as this could
affect them negatively and focus on their studies instead.
