DIFFICULT
1. In a survey, 1000 were randomly selected from a population and asked whether they understand
global warming or not. They respond either YES or NO. There were 720 who said YES. Find the
margin of error under a 95% confidence interval.
0.03
2. Make a decision whether to reject or do not reject the null hypothesis of the following situation:
A teacher administered a developed science test to a random selection of 50 Grade 7 students
from a target population. In the sample, sample mean = 80 and sample sd = 10. In the
standardization of the test, mean =75 and sd = 15. Use a 95% confidence level.
Reject the Null Hypothesis
3. What is the rejection region of the following situation: The scores of 120 Grade 8 pupils in an
exam in geography is 87, and they have a standard deviation of 10. In the development of the
test, the mean was 90 and sd = 15. Conduct a test of hypothesis with a 95% confidence interval
using critical value method.
𝑧 ≤ −1.96 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.96
4. Make a decision whether to reject or do not reject the null hypothesis given the p-value and
alpha. Alpha = 0.05; p-value = 0.10.
Do not reject the Null Hypothesis
