We make every day decisions in our life. Some of these are very important while
others are not. In decision-making, we follow certain processes like weighing
alternatives, collecting evidence and making a decision. An appropriate
interpretation is form after a decision is made. We follow these steps in testing
hypothesis in Statistics. Hypothesis testing is a way for you to test the results of
a survey or experiment to see if you have meaningful results .
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
Subtasks:
1. distinguish null hypothesis from alternative hypothesis.
2. determine whether a hypothesis test is non-directional or directional.
3. determine whether a directional test is left-tailed or right-tailed
4. locate critical values under the normal curve.
5. determine critical values for the hypothesis testing; and
6. understand the concept of Type I and Type II error.
Before going on, check how much you know about this
topic. Answer the pretest in a separate sheet of paper

Hypothesis testing is a decision-making process for evaluating claims about a
population based on the characteristics of a sample purportedly coming from the
population. We get a random sample from the population, collect data from the
sample, and use this data to make a decision as to whether the hypothesis is
acceptable or not.
Let’s formulate the null and alternative hypothesis for each of the following
examples. Example 1: The average TV viewing time of all six-year old children is
4 hours daily.
Answer:
In words, the hypotheses are:
H0: The average TV viewing time of six-year old children is 4
hours.
H1or Ha: The average TV viewing time of six-year old children is less than
4 hours.
In symbols, we write:
:𝜇=4
H
0
or Ha: 𝜇 <4
H
1
Example 2: A college librarian claims that 25 story books on the average are
borrowed daily.
Answer:
In words, the hypotheses are:
H0: The average story books borrowed in the library is 25.
H1 or Ha: The average story books borrowed in the library is more than 25.
In symbols, we write:
: 𝜇=25
H
0
or Ha: 𝜇 >25
H
1
When the alternative hypothesis utilizes the < or the > symbol, the test is
said to be directional. A directional test may either be left-tailed or right-tailed.
In problems that involve hypothesis testing, there are words like greater,
efficient, improves, effective, increases and so on that suggest a right-tailed
direction in the formulation of the alternative hypothesis. Words like decrease,
less than, smaller, and so on suggest a left-tailed direction.
Example 3: The inventor of a new kind of light bulb claims that all such bulbs
last as long as 3000 hours.
Answer:
In words, the hypotheses are:
H0: The new kind of light bulb will last as long as 3000 hours.
H1 or Ha: The new kind of light bulb will not last as long as 3000 hours.
In symbols, we write:
: 𝜇 = 3000
H
0
or Ha: 𝜇 ≠ 3000
H
When the alternative hypothesis utilizes the ≠ symbol, the test is said to be

Let’s consider the following examples. Determine whether the given situation is a
directional or non-directional test. If it is a non-directional, identify whether it is
left-tailed or right tailed test.
Example 4: The owner of a factory that sells a particular bottled water claims
that the average capacity of a bottle of their product is 200 ml. Is the claim true?
Solution:
H1 or Ha: The bottled water does not contain 250 ml per bottle.
: 𝜇 = 50

or Ha: 𝜇 ≠ 50

Since the alternative hypothesis utilizes ≠ , then we can say that the test

Example 5. A rice farmer believes that using organic fertilizer on his plants will
yield greater income. His average income from the past was Php200,000 per

The table shows that if null hypothesis is true and accepted, or if it is false and
rejected, the decision is correct. If the null hypothesis is true and rejected, the
decision is incorrect and this is Type I error. If the null hypothesis is false and
accepted, the decision is incorrect and this is Type II error. Example 6:
Understanding Errors
A. Maria insists that she is 30 years old when, in fact, she is 35 years old.
What error is Maria committing?
Solution:
Maria is rejecting the truth. She is committing a Type I error.
Solution:
by the Greek letter 𝛼(alpha) while the probability of committing Type II error is
the bases of our actions. The probability of committing a Type I error is denoted
denoted by 𝛽(beta).
The following table shows the probability with which decisions occur.

nonrejection region (1- 𝛼). This line passes through the confidence coefficients,
In figure 4, it shows the line that separates the rejection region from the
which also called critical values. The critical values can be obtained from the
critical values table of the test statistic. For example, for a 95% confidence level
if the test statistic is a z and it is a non-directional test, it can be determined by
having this equation 0.95
= 0.4750 (expressed up to four decimal places so that we can identify an area
in
2
the normal curve table as close as possible to this value).
In the z-table, the area 0.4750 corresponds to z = 1.96 so the critical values for a
non-directional test or two-tailed are -1.96 and +1.96. This can be written as
za/2 = ± 1.96. When the confidence level is 95% and the test statistic is a z and it
is a directional test or one-tailed. The critical values can be determined by
1.7 0.9554 0.9564 0.9573 0.9582 0.9591 0.9599 0.9608 0.9616 0.9625 0.9633 In the z-table, there are
two areas close to this value: 0.9495 that corresponds to z = 1.64 and
0.9505 that corresponds to z =1.65. Then we get the average of the zvalues. This
results to 1.645. In practice, we use the z-values of -1.65 for left-
tailed and +1.65 for right tailed

data worth investigating from the government agencies (e.g., mean age of high
school students’ dropouts, mean salaries of a specific employee), Formulate the
null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis for your data at hand. The scoring
rubric will be used in assessing your performance.
1. Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis of the data you collected.
2. Identify whether the test to be administer in the data you have is
directional or non-directional.
3. Tell the possible type I and type II error if a mistake in decision will be
made.
