Birzeit University Mathematics Department First Semester 2011/2012 MATH 320 Handout # 3 Testing Hypotheses Prepared by: Dr.

. Hani Kabajah
Example 1: For the data in file GolfTest.xlsx we would like to make the test H0 : = 295 Ha : 295 at level of significance = 0.05. Given that the population standard deviation is equal to 12. Step 1: Fill the data

Step 2: Write the following commands

Step 3: Read the output

Result: In our example p-value = 0.1225 > 0.05 = So, we cannot reject H0

Example 2: For the data in file AirRating.xlsx we would like to make the test H0 : 7 Ha : > 7 at level of significance = 0.05. Here, we dont have the population standard deviation. Step 1: Fill the data

Step 2: Write the following commands
