LET’S APPLY

Direction: Calculate the �computed for each item.

� � µ � �computed
16 9.3 9.8 3.1 -0.64
30 10.5 11 4.5 -0.61
6 14.52 12.7 2.1 2.12
15 22.5 21.3 1.7 2.73
7 17 16.5 2.4 0.55

LET’S ANALYZE

A. Determine the �computed and the corresponding percentile rank of the following sets.
Note: use the nearest �tabulated that can be found on the t-distribution table).

� � µ � �computed df ���������� (%)

17 13 11.5 1.90 3.26 16 0.0025 or 0.25%
12 24 21 3.35 3.092 11 0.005 or 0.5%
9 28 25 3.90 2.307 8 0.025 or 2.5%
15 34.002 32 3.42 2.275 14 0.02 or 2%
21 16 17 2.66 -1.724 20 0.05 or 5%

LET’S EVALUATE

1. A sample of 20 was randomly selected from a normal population with a mean of 48. 5 and a standard
deviation of 7.79. What is the �computed and the area under the curve of the following population
mean?
a) µ = 50 b) µ = 50.81 c) µ = 52.15 d)µ = 53.485

ANSWERS:

Df = 19

a. – 4.022
b. – 1.327
c. – 2.098
d. – 2.865

2. A sample of 22 residents has an average age of 60.5 with a standard deviation of 4.28 years. What is
the �computed and cumulative probability if the population mean is 58.2?
ANSWER:
�computed = 2. 527
df = 21
Cumulative probability = 0.9902 or 99.02%
3. A machine is designed to fill a bottle with 12 oz of soda, A sample of 15 bottles is randomly selected
that and noticed the means is 11.8 oz and the standard deviation is 0.36 oz. Determine the percentile of
the sample mean.

ANSWER:
The percentile of the sample mean is 95%.

4. A sample of 10 motorcycles has an average mileage of 5725 with a standard deviation of 622.5 miles.
Calculate the cumulative probability if the population mean is 6000.

ANSWER:
The cumulative probability is 0.0951 or 9.51%.

5. A recent survey reports that the average company meeting in a month is 17. A researcher surveyed
the 25 stakeholder of the same company and found to be 14. Calculate the area under curve if the
standard deviation was 4.

ANSWER:
�computed = 3.75
df = 24
Cumulative probability = 0.9995 or 99.95%.
