    2.3

    Name: Jay Akbar S. Paglangan


    Course/Year/Section: 2BSE-English A

    1. A company claims that only 1 out of every 200 computers it sells has a mechanical
    malfunction.
    What alternative hypothesis would you use if you think this statistic is too low?
    Answer:
    Ho: µ = 1 out of every 200 computers. The average numbers of mechanical malfunctioning
    computers sell by a company is only 1 out of every 200 computers.
    Ha: µ > 1 out of every 200 computers. The average numbers of mechanical malfunctioning
    computers sell by a company is more than 1 out of every 200 computers.

    2. A healthy study states that Filipino adults consume an average of 3,300 calories per day.
    What alternative hypothesis would you use if you think this statistic is incorrect?
    Answer:
    Ho: µ=3,300 calories/day. On the average, Filipino adults consume 3,300 calories per day.
    Ha: µ ≠ 3,300 calories/day. On the average, Filipino adults do not consume 3,300 calories per
    day.

    3. An investment company claims that its clients make an average of 8% return on


    investments every year. What alternative hypothesis would you use if you think this figure is
    too high?
    Answer:
    Ho: µ= 8% per year. On the average, company clients makes 8% return on investment every
    year.
    Ha: µ < 8% per year. On the average, company clients make less than 8% return on
    investment every year.
