Example 1
The MacBurger restaurant chain claims that the waiting time of the
customers for service is normally distributed with mean of three
minutes. The quality-assurance department found in a sample of 50
customers at the Warren Road MacBurger the mean waiting time is
2.75 minutes and a standard deviation of one minute. At 0.05
significance level ( ), can we conclude that the mean waiting time is 3
minutes?
Example 2
The MacBurger restaurant chain claims that the waiting time of the
customers for service is normally distributed with mean of three minutes.
The quality-assurance department found in a sample of 25 customers at
the Warren Road MacBurger the mean waiting time is 2.75 minutes and
a standard deviation of one minute. At 0.05 significance level ( ), can we
conclude that the mean waiting time is 3 minutes ?
Example 3
A survey provided the estimate that the mean number of hours of using
internet per household is 5.6 hours per day (2022). Assume that the survey
involved 23 households and that the sample standard deviation was 2
hours per day. Five years ago, the population mean number of hours of
internet using per household was reported to be 4.3 hours. At 0.01
significance level ( ), can we conclude that the mean number of hours of
using internet per household is 4.3 hours ?
Confidence interval and Test of hypothesis for the proportion
Upper limit = +
Lower limit = −

Where

× (1 − )
= , > 30

or

× (1 − )
= , ≤ 30

Example 1
Shell Oil office workers were asked which work schedule appealed
most:
Working five 8- hours days or four 10- hours days. Let P equal to the
proportion of office preferring the four 10-hours days alternative.
Test the hypotheses : : = 50%, : ≠ 50%
A sample of 105 office workers showed that 67 preferred the four 10-
hours day schedule.
 Example 2
A recent survey found that 40% of the Mexican teenagers are alcoholic
(2019). A random sample of 25 Mexican teenagers revealed that 14 of them
are not alcoholic (2020). If α = 0.1 can we conclude that the proportional of
the alcoholic Mexican teenagers is 40%?
