    This document provides 5 examples of hypotheses testing problems involving population proportions or means. For each problem, it asks to identify the null and alternative hypotheses and whether it is a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test. It also provides 5 examples of problems involving hypotheses testing of population means, asking to identify the population or sample standard deviation and number of samples in each case. The document provides guidance on formulating hypotheses and identifying appropriate test statistics for common statistical inference questions.

    In each problem below, give the

    null and alternative hypotheses


    and identify whether it is right-
    tailed, left-tailed or two-tailed
    test.

    Formulating
    Appropriate
    Null and
    Alternative
    Hypotheses
    on a
    Population
    Proportion
    Formulating Appropriate Null and Alternative Hypotheses on a
    Population Proportion
    In each problem below, give the null and alternative hypotheses and
    identify whether it is right-tailed, left-tailed or two-tailed test. You
    can write it in symbol or in words.
    1. A sample of 800 items produced on a new machine showed that
    48 of them are defective. The factory will get rid the machine
    if the data indicates that the proportion of defective items is
    significantly more than 5%. At a significance level of 10% does the
    factory get rid of the machine or not?
    2. A drug manufacturer claims that fewer than 10% of patients who
    take its new drug for treating certain pneumonia will
    experience nausea. In a random sample of 250 patients, 23
    experienced nausea. Perform a significance test at the 5%
    significance level to test this claim.
    3. In a group of 375 Senior High School students, 40 were left-
    handed. Is this significantly different from the proportion of all
    Senior High School students who are left-handed, which is 12%?
    4. In a random survey of 1000 households in Unlad Province, it is
    found that 29% of the households have at least one member with
    a college degree. Does this finding contradict the statement that
    the proportion of all such households in Unlad Province is 35
    percent? Test at α = .05 significance level.
    5. In a random sample of 400 electronic gadgets, 14 were found to
    be defective. The manufacturer wants to claim that less than 5%
    of all of their games are defective. Test this claim at the 0.01
    significance level.

    Identifying Appropriate Test Statistics Involving Population Mean


    In each problem, identify the population standard deviation/sample standard deviation and
    the number of samples.
    1. A sample of 160 people has a mean age of 27 with a population standard deviation (σ) of
    5. Test the hypothesis that the population mean is 26.7 at α=0.05.
    2. An electric lamps manufacturer is testing a new production method that will be
    considered acceptable if the lamps produced by this method result in a normal population
    with an average life of 1,300 hours and a standard deviation equal to 120. A sample of
    100 lamps produced by this method has an average life of 1,250 hours.
    3. The cholesterol levels in a certain population have a mean of 210 and standard deviation
    of 21. The cholesterol levels for a random sample of 9 individuals are measured and the
    sample mean x is determined. What is the z-score for a sample mean x=180?
    4. Mabunga Elementary School has 1,000 students. The principal of the school thinks that
    the average IQ of students at Mabunga is at least 110. To prove her point, she administers
    an IQ test to 20 randomly selected students. Among the sampled students, the average IQ
    is 108 with a standard deviation of 10.
    5. A new energy-efficient lawn mower engine was developed by a well-known inventor. He
    claims that the engine will run continuously for 5 hours on a single gallon of regular
    gasoline. From his stock of 2,000 engines, the inventor selects a simple random sample of
    50 engines for testing. The engines run for an average of 295 minutes with a standard
    deviation of 20 minutes.
