Employees of a firm produce units at a rate of 100 per hour with a standard deviation of 20 units. A new employee is tested on 36 separate random
occasions and found to have an output of 90 units per hour. Does this indicate that the new employee's output is significantly different from the
average output?
Q2 Hypothesis Testing Example: One Sample t-test for the Population Mean
A local car dealer wants to know if the purchasing habits of a buyer buying extras have changed. He is particularly interested in male buyers. Based
upon collected data he has estimated that the distribution of extras purchsed is approximately normally distributed with an average of Rs 2000 per
customer. To test this hypothesis he has collected the extras purchased by the last seven male customers (Rs): 2300, 2386, 1920, 1578, 3065, 2312
and 1790. Test whether the extras purchased on average has changed.
Q3 Hypothesis Testing Example: Two Sample z-test for the Population Mean
A large organization produces electric light bulbs in each of its two factories (A and B). It is suspected that the quality of production from factory A is
better than from factory B. To test this assertion the organization collects samples from factory A and B and measures how long each light bulb
works (in hours) before the light bulb fails. Both population variances are known (σ 12 = 52783, σ22 = 61650). Conduct an appropriate test to test this
hypothesis.
Q4 Hypothesis Testing Example: Two Sample T Test for the Population Mean (Independent Samples, Equal Variances)
A certain product of organic beans are packed in tins and sold by two local shops. The local authority have received complaints from customers that
the amount of beans within the tins sold by the shop are different. To test this statistically two small random samples were collected from both
shops.
Q5 Hypothesis Testing Example: Two Sample T Test for the Population Mean (Independent Samples, Unequal Variances)
A certain product of organic beans are packed in tins and sold by two local shops. The local authority have received complaints from customers that
the amount of beans within the tins sold by the shop are different. To test this statistically two small random samples were collected from both
shops.
Q6 Hypothesis Testing Example: Two Sample t-test for the Population Mean (Dependent or paired samples)
Suppose that Super slim is offering a weight reduction programme that they advertise will result in more than 10 pound weight loss in the first 30
days. Twenty six subjects were independently randomly selected for a study and their weights before and after the weight loss programme were
recorded. Super slim have stated that the historical data shows that the populations are normally distributed. Conduct an appropriate test to test
this hypothesis.
A company is concerned about the incresing violent altercations between its employees. The number of violent altercations is recorded by
management during six randomly selected months. Determine whether the data fits a uniform distribution.
Suppose a university sampled 485 of its students to determine whether males and females differed in preference for five courses offered. The
question to answer is to confirm whether or not there is an association between courses chosen and the person's gender. Conduct an appropriate
test to test this hypothesis.
