Solves problems involving test of hypothesis on the

What is it…
When the sample size n is less than 30, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be
applied, and the normal distribution model cannot be used. To conduct hypothesis
testing about the population mean on small samples (n<30), we must assume that the
parent population from which the sample comes is approximately normal.

The rejection region (also called critical region) refers to the region where the
value of the test statistic lies for which we will reject the null hypothesis. It may be on
the left, or right, or both depending on the alternative hypothesis.

tailed test, refer to the first row; for two-tailed test, refer to the second
row. Use the critical value on the table found in the intersection of the
degrees of freedom and the significance level (alpha). Use the negative of
the critical values for left tailed test. (Refer to the t-table.)

Example 1:
The quality of drinking water must be monitored often for possible
contamination. The pH level measures the alkalinity or acidity of water. A pH below
7.0 is acidic while a pH above 7.0 is alkaline. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A water-treatment
plant has a target pH of 8.0. Based on 16 random samples, the mean was found to be
7.6 and the standard deviation was 0.4. At 95% confidence, is there enough evidence
to say that the sample mean differs significantly from the target mean?

Lesson 3: Drawing Conclusion about the µ (n < 30)
What is it…
In Small-Sample Tests, the decision rule for the null hypothesis is based on the
test-statistic value and the rejection region using the t-distribution table:
A. For two-tailed test,
reject the null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is less than the
negative critical value or greater than the positive critical value.
do not reject null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is greater than
or equal to the negative critical value or less than or equal to the positive
critical value.
B. For one-tailed test (left tailed),
reject the null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is less than the
negative critical value
Do not reject null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is greater than
or equal to the negative critical value
C. For one-tailed test (right tailed),
reject the null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is greater than
the positive critical value.
Do not reject null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is less than or
equal to the positive critical value.
Example 1:
The quality of drinking water must be monitored often for possible
contamination. The pH level measures the alkalinity or acidity of water. A pH below
7.0 is acidic while a pH above 7.0 is alkaline. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A water-treatment
plant has a target pH of 8.0. Based on 16 random samples, the mean was found to be
7.6 and the standard deviation was 0.4. At 95% confidence, is there enough evidence
to say that the sample mean differs significantly from the target mean?
The significance level α = 0.05 because confidence level is 95%
It is a two-tailed, because Ha: µ ≠ 8.0
df = n – 1 = 16 – 1 = 15. The critical value is t = -2.13
The critical region is on both tails.

B. Decision Rule: -4 < -2.13; reject Ho

population whose mean is 8pH.

The agriculturist claimed that the height of Molave seedlings in the nursery is
less than 6cm. A sample of 5 seedlings were chosen at random and the mean was
found to be 4.6 cm with a standard deviation of 1.5 cm. Is the claim true at 95%
confidence?
The significance level α = 0.05 because confidence level is 95%
It is a one-tailed, left-tailed test because Ha: µ < 6
df = n – 1 = 5 – 1 = 4. The critical value is t = -2.13
The critical region is on the left tail.

C. Conclusion: There is no enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
There is no significant difference between the sample mean
and the claimed mean. The agriculturist’s claim is right.
The sample seedlings come from the population whose
mean height is 6cm.
