II. Problem solving.
1. Complete the following table.(Hint: Type I and Type II error)
STATISTICAL DECISION NULL HYPOTHESIS
2. State the difference between the t-test and z-test.
A t-test is a statistical test involving confidence limits for the random variable t of a t distribution and used
especially in testing hypotheses about means of normal distributions when the standard deviations are
unknown on the other hand, z-test is any of several statistical tests that use a random variable having a z
distribution to test hypotheses about the mean of a population based on a single sample or about the
difference between the means of two populations based on a sample from each when the standard
deviations of the populations are known or to test hypotheses about the proportion of successes in a
single sample or the difference between the proportion of successes in two samples when the standard
deviations are estimated from the sample data.
3. Solve for a and b.(one method only)
4a - b = 5
2a + 2b = 10
Let a = 2 then b = 3
a. 4(2) – b = 5
8–b=5
b=3
b. 2(2) + 2b = 10
4 + 2b = 10
2b = 10 – 4
2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b=3
