Step 2: Constructing the pair of hypothesis and finding the critical values (12 m)

Let be the mean monthly data usage by the polytechnic students.

Null hypothesis:

Alt. hypothesis:

Type of test:

Given , the critical value

Rejection criteria Reject if

Explain the meaning of a type 1 error in this hypothesis and its relation to α:

Step 3: Computing the sample data and the test statistics (8 m)

Collect data from at least 30 schoolmates on their actual mobile data usage (GB) in the recent
months:

Using calculator,

= GB/mth/subscriber ; and

= GB/mth/subscriber

Assumptions for using z-test:

Test statistic: =
