For two-tailed tests:
⊹ There are two rejection regions which
are located on both sides of the
curve.
⊹ Each rejection region has an area of
α/2.
⊹ There are also two critical values
(one positive and one negative) 13
For two-tailed tests:
⊹ The z-critical values depend on the
significance level used in hypothesis
testing. These values are fixed and can be
derived from the z-table.
⊹ The t-critical values depend on the
significance level and the degrees of
freedom. These values can be obtained
from the t-table. 14

EXAMPLE
The school nurse claims that the average height of Gr 11 students has
increased. The average height of a Gr 11 students 2 years ago was 155 cm
with a standard deviation of 20 cm. She takes a random sample of 200
students and finds that the average height of her sample is 167 cm. Are
Grade 11 now taller than they were before? Conduct a single-tailed
hypothesis test using α = 0.05 significance level to evaluate the null and
STEP 1:
alternative hypotheses.
Null: The average height of the Gr 11 students is less than or equal to
165cm.
Ho: 155cm
Alternative: The average height of Gr 11 students is more than 165cm.

A sociologist believes that it costs
more than
Php 90, 000 to raise a child from birth
to age one, with a standard deviation
of Php 4, 500. A random sample of 41
families, each with a child selected to
see if this figure is correct. The
average expenses for these families

A report states that the mean
monthly salary of a teacher is Php
22,000 a month with a standard
deviation of Php 3,000. A random
sample of the salaries of 81 teachers
showed a mean monthly salary of
Php 23, 500. Is there a significant
difference between the reported 22

The two test statistics are z and t, but only
one should be used in hypothesis testing.

If the population standard deviation
σ is unknown, but the sample
standard deviation s is given, then
t-test should be used. The same six
steps of traditional hypothesis
testing will be used. Instead of z,
we will compute the t – test statistic
and we will use the t – critical
values that can be obtained from 32

EXAMPLE 2
The owner of a factory that sells a particular
bottled fruit juice. A consumer group claims
that the average capacity of the product is
less than 250 ml. The consumer group gets a
sample of 30 such bottles, calculates the
capacity of each bottle, and then finds the
mean capacity to be 248 ml. The sample
standard deviation is 5ml. Is the claim true?

⊹ The judiciary system in the
world follows a rule or assumes
that one is innocent until he is
proven guilty. Analogous to
that in the world of statistics,
the statisticians also do not
attempt or try to prove the
statement or hypothesis is
true. 40
