mean number of students that use the library materials in a university is not less than
or equal to 450.

Therefore, the mean number of students that use the library materials in a university
is not greater than 450.
d. The computed value is greater than the tabular z value, reject the H_0. Therefore, the
mean number of students that use the library materials in a university is not less than

II. Aside from love and music, coffee is a universal language of its own. Many Filipinos
prefer single-origin coffee, others may choose freshly brewed coffee and probably most choose
3-in-1 coffee as their number one. If most Filipinos prefer the 3-in-1 coffee, it is interesting to
also know the sugar contents of the 3 top selling 3-in-1 coffee in the Philippines.
OBJECTIVE: TO DETERMINE THE AVERAGE SUGAR CONTENT IN TOP 3 SELLING 3-
in-1 COFFEE IN THE PHILIPPINES.oints
