T-TEST PRACTICE PROBLEMS

1. According to a survey, the average daily usage of social media worldwide of


global internet users amounts to 12 minutes per day. Marites conducts her own survey
among her 10 friends to find out if their time spent in social media is significantly
higher than the global survey. Use 0.05 level of significance.

2. Past experience indicates that the time for high school seniors to complete a
standardized test is a normal random variable with a mean of 35 minutes. If a random
sample of 20 high school seniors took an average of 33.1 minutes to complete this
test with a standard deviation of 4.3 minutes, test the hypothesis at the 0.05
level of significance that p=35 minutes against the alternative that p < 35 minutes.

3. A UCLA researcher claims that the average life span of mice can be extended by
as much as 8 months when the calories in their food are reduced by approximately
40% from the time they are weaed. The restricted diets are enriched to normal levels
by vitamins and protein. Suppose that a random sample of 10 mice are fed a normal
diet and live an average life span of 32.1 months with a standard deviation of 3.2
months, while a random sample of 15 mice are fed the restricted diet and live an
average life span of 37.6 months with a standard deviation of 2.8 months. Test the
hypothesis at the 0.5 level of significance that the average life span of mice on
this restricted diet is increased by 8 months against the alternative that the
increase is less than 8 months. Assume the distributions of life spans for the
regular and restricted diets are approximately normal with equal variances.

4. An experiment reported in Popular Science compared fuel economics for two types
of similarly equipped diesel mini trucks. Let us suppose that 12 Volkswagen and 10
Toyota trucks are used in 90-kilometer per hour steady-spaced tests. If the 12
Volkswagen trucks average 16 kilometers per liter with a standard deviation of 1.0
kilometer per liter and the 10 Toyota trucks average 11 kilometers per liter with
a standard deviation of 0.8 kilometer per liter, test the hypothesis that the
Volkswagen mini-trucks on the average, exceed similarly equipped Toyota mini-trucks
by 4 kilometers per liter. Use a 0.10 level of significance. Assume that the
distances per liter of these two minitrucks model are approximately normally
distributed with equal variances.

5. Test the hypothesis that the average content of containers of a particular


lubricant is 10 liters if the contents of a random sample of 10 containers are
10.2, 9.7, 10.1, 10.3, 10.1, 9.8, 9.9, 10.4, 10.3, and 9.8 liters. Use a 0.01 level
of significance and assume that the distribution of contents is normal.
