deviation of Php 700.00. Is the company’s claim correct at 0.05 level of significance?
Compute the Test statistics and assume that the population is approximately normally
distributed.

A. Yes, z=9.58
B. Yes, z=95.8
C. No, z=9.58
D. No, z=95.8

67. Compute the test statistic of the given situation using the central limit theorem.
A certain group of welfare recipients receives relief goods with a mean amount of Php
500.00 per week. A random sample of 75 recipients is surveyed and found that the mean
amount of relief goods they received in a week is Php 600 and a standard deviation of Php
50.00. Test the claim at 1% level of significance is not Php 500.00 per week and assume
that the population is approximately normally distributed.

A. z=¿ 150.08
B. z=150.0
C. z=−150.0 3
D. z=−150.09

68. How would you select the appropriate conclusion in the problem below?
An association of City Mayors conducted a study to determine the average number of
times a family went to buy necessities in a week. They found that the mean is 4 times in a
week. A random sample of 20 families were asked and found a mean of 5 times in a week
and a standard deviation of 2. Use 5% significance level to test that the population mean is
not equal to 5. Assume that the population is normally distributed.

A. Conclusion: There is no enough evidence to conclude that the average number of

times a family went out to buy necessities in a week is 4 times
B. Conclusion: There is enough evidence to conclude that the average number of
times a family went out to buy necessities in a week is 4 times.
C. Conclusion: There is no evidence to conduct a study to determine the average
number of times a family went to buy necessities in a week.

 D. Conclusion: There is evidence to conduct a study to determine the average number
of times a family went to buy necessities in a week.

69. Mr. Sy asserts that fewer than 5% of the bulbs that he sells are defective. Suppose 300
bulbs are randomly selected and tested and 10 defective bulbs are found. Does this
provide sufficient evidence for Mr. Sy to conclude that the fraction of defective bulbs is
less than 0.05? useα =0.01 . What would be the value of the test statistic.

A. z=1.35
B. z=−1.35
C. z=13.5
D. z=−13.5

70. When the null hypothesis is rejected which of the following is true?

A. The conclusion is guaranteed.

B. The conclusion is not guaranteed.
C. There is sufficient evidence to back up the decision.
D. There is no sufficient evidence to back up the decision.

For items 71-72. Refer to the given problem.

The mean household income in a region served by a chain of clothing stores is . In a

sample of customers taken at various stores the mean income of the customers was with
standard deviation of.

71. Test at the 10 % level of significance the null hypothesis that the mean household income
of customers of the chain is 48,750 against that alternative that it is different from 48,750.

A. Z=2.54 , z 0.05=1.645 , reject H 0

B. Z=2.54 , z 0.05=1.645 , accept H 0
C. Z=25.4 , z 0.05=1.645 , reject H 0
D. Z=2.54 , z 0.05=16.45 , acept H 0

72. The sample mean is greater than 48,750, suggesting that the actual mean of people who
patronize this store is greater than 48,750. Perform this test, also at the 10% significance
level. (the computation of the test statistic done in item 13 still applies here)

A. Z=2.54 , z 0.10=12.8 , reject H 0

B. Z=2.54 , z 0.10=12.8 , accept H 0
C. Z=2.54 , z 0.10=1.28 , reject H 0
D. Z=2.54 , z 0.10=1.28 , accept H 0

73. If the equation of the regression line is y ' =6+ .234 x , how can it be interpreted?

A. Every unit of change in the value of y , the value of x also changes at 6 units on
average
B. Every unit of change in the value of x , the value of y also changes at .234 unit on
average

20
C. Every unit of change in the value of x , the value of y also changes at 6 units on
average
D. The slope of the line is .234
