Formulation of Hypothesis: Nelda Atibagos Nacion

This document provides 5 sample problems for formulating hypotheses. It defines the key variables, then outlines the null and alternative hypotheses that would be formulated for each problem. The problems cover situations like testing the average fill of a drink dispenser, comparing study times between male and female students, determining if a diet program is effective, validating a medicine's claimed effectiveness, and analyzing height data between town residents and those in slums.

FORMULATION

OF HYPOTHESIS
Nelda Atibagos Nacion
For each problem, define the variables
that will represent the information
then formulate the appropriate null
and alternative hypothesis.
Sample Problems:
1.The softdrink dispenser of a fastfood center
was readjusted. The manager, wanting to know
if the dispenser is really in good condition, got a
sample of 50 cups filled by the dispenser. She
would only classify the dispenser as “in the good
condition” (and therefore it need not be
readjusted) if the average fill per cup of the
dispenser is 8 ounces.
2. Jenny suspects that male DLSU-D students
spend less time studying compared to their female
counterpart. She decided to conduct a study
regarding the study habits of both male and
female DLSU-D students. She intends to find out
if the average time per day that a male student
spends doing his schoolwork is less than the
average time per day a female students spends
doing her schoolwork.
3. A fitness buff reads about a new diet program.
He wants to adopt it but unfortunately, following
the new diet program required buying nutritious,
low calorie yet expensive food. He thus randomly
selected some of his friends who adopt the new
diet program. He would adopt only if the
percentage of people who claim that the new diet
program works is greater than 60%.
4. The manufacturer of a patent medicine
claimed that it was at least 90% effective
in relieving an allergy for a period of 8
hours. One would like to test if the
manufacturer’s claim is legitimate.
5. The heights of adults in a certain town have a mean of
65.42 inches with a standard deviation of 2.32 inches.
A random sample of 144 adults living in the slum
district is found to have a mean height of 64.821 inches.
Does this indicate that the residents of the slums are
significantly retarded in growth?
