A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Malinta Senior High School is 100. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ level of 105 with a standard deviation of 8. In testing the claim that the IQ level of students is 100, at 5% level of significance, which of the following illustrates the correct null & alternative hypotheses?

a)

Ho: μ=100;

Ha: μ<100

b)

Ho: μ=100;

Ha: μ \ne 100

c)

Ho​: μ=100;

Ha: μ= \le 100

d)

Ho​: μ=100;

Ha: μ>100

2.

A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Malinta National Senior High School is 100. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ level of 105 with a standard deviation of 8. In testing the claim that the IQ level of students in DORSHS is 100, at 5% level of significance, calculate the appropriate test statistic.

a)

z=−2.795

b)

t=2.795

c)

t=−2.795

d)

z=2.795

3.

A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Malinta Senior High School is 100. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ level of 105 with a standard deviation of 8.

a)

±2.086

b)

-2.093

c)

+2.093

d)

±2.093

4.

A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Malinta Senior High School is 100. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ level of 105 with a standard deviation of 8. In testing the claim that the IQ level of students is 100, at 5% level of significance, what is the appropriate decision.

a)

Reject the Null Hypothesis

b)

Do not reject the Null Hypothesis

5.

A researcher reports that the average IQ level of students in Malinta Senior High School is 100. A sample of 20 students has a mean IQ level of 105 with a standard deviation of 8. Test the claim that the IQ level of students is 100, at 5% level of significance. Choose the appropriate conclusion.

a)

There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the average IQ level of Malinta Senior High School is 100

b)

There is no sufficient evidence to reject the claim that average IQ level of Malinta Senior High School is 100

c)

There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the average IQ level of Malinta Senior High School is 105

d)

There is no sufficient evidence to reject the claim that average IQ level of Malinta Senior High School is 105

6.

A drink vending machine is adjusted so that, on average, it dispenses 250ml of fruit juice with a standard deviation of 25ml into a plastic cup. However, the machine tends to go out of adjustment and periodic checks are made to determine the average amount of fruit juice being dispensed. The operator thinks that the amount dispensed is less than 250 ml. So to verify, a sample of 35 drinks is taken to test the adjustment of the machine and a mean of 225 is obtained. For α = 5%, what is the appropriate hypotheses?

a)

Ho​: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is 250mL.

 Ha: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is less than 250mL.

b)

Ho​: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is 250mL.

 Ha: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is not 250mL.

c)

Ho​: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is at most 250mL.

 Ha: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is greater than 250mL.

d)

Ho​: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is 250mL.

 Ha: The amount dispensed on a vending machine is greater than 250mL.
