Computation of Test Statistic On Population Mean

The document provides examples of determining the appropriate test statistic to use for different hypothesis testing situations involving population means. It describes using a z-test when the sample size is large and population standard deviation is known or can be estimated, and using a t-test when the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown. Examples are provided of identifying and calculating the test statistic for various hypotheses tests about population means.

COMPUTATION OF TEST

STATISTIC ON POPULATION
MEAN
Activity:
Identify the appropriate test statistic to be used based on the
given information.

________1. The sample mean is 345 and the sample size is 46. The population
is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 11. Test the hypothesis at
0.05 level of significance. Consider the hypotheses below:
: = 345
: 345
z-test
Activity:
Identify the appropriate test statistic to be used based on the
given information.
________2. Test at a= 0.05 the null hypothesis : = 2.19
against the alternative hypothesis : < 2.19 with n= 18 =
1.36, and s= 0.14.
Assume that the population is approximately normal.
T-test
Activity:
Identify the appropriate test statistic to be used based on the
given information.
________3. The sample size is less than 18 and
the standard deviation is 3.67.
T-Test
Activity:
Identify the appropriate test statistic to be used based on the
given information.

Learning Objectives:
1.Determine the appropriate test-statistic to
be used in the given problem/ situation
2.Compute for the test statistic value
(Population mean)
CASE 1: The sample is large and the
population standard deviation is known.
If n ≥ 30, the population standard deviation σ
is given, Central Limit Theorem is
applicable. Use z-test as test statistic to test
the null hypothesis.
•CASE 2: The sample is large but the population
standard deviation is unknown.
If n ≥ 30, but the population standard deviation σ is
not given, Central Limit Theorem is applicable but
used the sample standard deviation s to estimate the
population standard deviation. Use z-test as test
statistic to test the null hypothesis but using sample
standard deviation, s.

CASE 3: The sample is small such that n < 30
and the population standard deviation is
unknown.
If n < 30, the population standard deviation σ is not
given, Central Limit Theorem is not applicable. Use
t-test as test statistic to test the null hypothesis.

Assume normality, 35 students were randomly selected to test


their typing skills. They have a mean of 38 words per minute.
Let a= 0.05, test if this is significantly different from the average
typing speed of 40 words per minute with the standard deviation
of 4 words.

In the past, it took an average of 30 minutes queuing in the
registrar’s office. The dean introduced a new procedure, and
he believes that it is effective. A sample of 200 students from
a normally distributed distribution revealed an average of 24
minutes waiting time with a standard deviation of 7 minutes.
Test the claim at a 10% level of significance.
