Statcal - Miclat - Module 4 Assignment

1. A copier machine operator monitored copy production over 30 days and found the average was 5,105 copies per day compared to the expected average of 5,000. A z-test showed the difference was statistically significant, so the null hypothesis that the average is 5,000 was rejected. It was recommended to stock more supplies. 2. A survey of 50 college students found they averaged 28 hours on Facebook per week compared to an expected average of 30 hours. A z-test showed this difference was statistically significant at the 0.01 level. It was concluded the original data was outdated and students still should reduce social media time.

Miclat, Ann Krizelle Y.

1. A copier machine operator claimed that he makes an average number of copies
of at least 5000 per day with standard deviation of 75 copies. To make sure that
he has enough supplies and understocking, he monitored the number of copies
he produced for 30 days which was noted at an average of 5105. At a .05 level of
significance, is the average number of copies produced per day is different from
5000?
Null Hypothesis
The average number of copies produced per day is 5000.
Alternative Hypothesis
The average number of copies produced per day is different from 5000.
Level of significance:
0.05/2 = 0.025

Critical Z-values table


One- Two-
Level of Significance tail Level of Significance tail
0.01 2.33 0.005 ± 2.575
0.05 1.645 0.025 ± 1.96
0.1 1.28 0.05 ± 1.645

Critical z-value
± 1.96
Decision Rule
Reject null hypothesis if Z < -1.96 or Z > +1.96;
otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis
z-value:
( x́ -μ ) ( 5,105-5,000 ) 105 Where: xbar = 5,105 sample mean
z= z= = = 7.67 µ = 5,000 population mean
σ 75 13.69
σ = 75 standard deviation
√n √ 30 n = 30 observation
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis, 7.67 > 1.96; which means there is enough evidence to
support that the average number of copies produced per day is different from 5,000.
Recommendation
Based on the results, the copier machine operator should stock more copier supplies
and have enough understocking in order to keep up with customer demands and not
run out for the day.
2. A Social Media Agency reported that college students spent an average of 30
hours per week on Facebook with standard deviation of 2.5 hours. To find out if
this still true, a new survey was conducted among 50 students and reported an
average of 28 hours spent on Facebook. At a .01 level of significance, is there
average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook different
from 30 hours?
Null Hypothesis
The average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook is 30
hours.
Alternative Hypothesis
The average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook is
different from 30 hours.
Level of significance:
0.01/2 = 0.005

Critical z-value

Decision Rule
Reject null hypothesis if Z < -2.575 or Z > +2.575;
otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis
z-value:
( x́ -μ ) ( 28-30 ) -2 Where: xbar = 28 sample mean
z= z= = = -5.66 µ = 30 population mean
σ 2.5 0.3536
σ = 2.5 standard deviation
√n √50 n = 50 observation
Conclusion
Reject the null hypothesis, -5.66 < -2.575; which means there is enough
evidence to support that the average number of hours which college students
spent on Facebook is different from 30 hours.

Recommendation
Based on the results, the data that the Social Media Agency has is outdated and
no longer accurate. Although, the hours spent actually went down to 28, it is still
recommended that students still reduce the hours they spend on social media. It
may increase productivity and give them more time to work on their over mental
and physical well-being.
