 Target

It was stated in your past lesson that hypothesis testing is a decision-making

process for evaluating claims about a population based on the characteristics of a
sample purportedly coming from that population. The decision is whether the
characteristic is acceptable or not.
This learning material will provide you with information and activities that
will deepen your understanding about identifying the appropriate form of test
statistics and the appropriate rejection region for a given level of significance.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identifies the appropriate form of the test-statistics when: (a) the
population variance is assumed to be known (b) the population variance is
assumed to be unknown (c) the Central Limit Theorem is to be used.
(M11/12SP-IVb-2)
2. identifies the appropriate rejection region for a given level of significance
when: (a) the population variance is assumed to be known (b) the population
variance is assumed to be unknown and (c) the Central Limit Theorem is to
be used. (M11/12SP-IVc-1)

Subtasks:
1. determine the different forms of test statistic
2. illustrate the rejection region given the level of significance

Before going on, check how much you know about this topic. Answer

TEST STATISTIC

Test statistic is a statistic used in statistical hypothesis testing, provides a

basis for testing a Null Hypothesis. A test statistic is random variable that is
calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test. The sample statistic is
use to either reject Ho (null hypothesis) or not to reject Ha (alternative hypothesis).
There are two types of test statistic, we have z-test statistic and t-test statistic.

1. z - test
A z-test is a statistical test used to determine whether two population
means are different when the variances are known, and the sample size is
large. The test statistic is assumed to have a normal distribution and nuisance
parameters such as standard deviation should be known for an accurate z-
test to be performed. z-tests are used when we have large sample size (n≥30).
Large enough for the Central Limit Theorem to apply. Below is the formula to
be used in solving z-value where the population variance is assumed to be
known.
 x̄ −µ
z= 𝜎
√𝑛

where: z = z - test
x̄ = sample mean
µ = population mean
= population standard deviation
n = sample size
2. t - test
A t-test is a calculation used to test a hypothesis, but they are
useful when we need to determine if there is a statistically significant
difference between two independent sample groups. Usually t-tests are
most appropriate when dealing with problems with a limited sample size
(n<30). t-tests are used when the sample size is below 30 and the population
standard deviation is unknown.

x̄ −µ
t= 𝑠
√𝑛
where: t = t test
µ = population mean
x̄ = sample mean
s = standard deviation of the sample
n = sample size

Let’s consider below examples. Identify what test statistic to be used.

Example 1: Identify the appropriate test statistic given the information below:
µ = 50 =7 n = 150 x̄ = 9.2
Answer:
Since the population standard deviation is known, and n≥30, the
appropriate test statistic is the z-test.

Example 2: Given the following data: Ho: µ = 80, Ha: µ ≠ 80, n = 100, ² = 8100,
x̄ = 105. Determine the test statistic.
Answer:
Since the population variance is known, and n≥30, the
appropriate test statistic is the z-test.

Example 3: The assistant principal of the Senior High School Department

announced that the mean score of Grade 11 students in the first
quarter examination in Statistics was 89 and the standard deviation
was 12. One teacher who believed that the mean score was less than
this, randomly selected 34 students and computed their mean score.
She obtained a mean score of 85. At 0.01 level of significance,
Determine the appropriate test statistic.
Answer:
 Since it is the population mean that is being tested, the population
standard deviation is known, and n≥30, the appropriate test statistic is
the z-test for a single mean.

Example 4: Identify the appropriate test statistic given the information below:
µ = 11 s=3 n = 12 x̄ = 14
Answer:
Since the population standard deviation is unknown, and n<30,
the appropriate test statistic is the t-test.
Example 5: Given the following data: Ho: µ = 400, Ha: µ ≠ 400, α = 0.01, n =15,
s = 21.5, x̄ = 390. Determine the test statistic.
Answer:
Since the population standard deviation is unknown, and
n<30, the appropriate test statistic is the t-test.

Example 6: During the Covid-19 pandemic crisis local officials in the province
announced that the average price of a kilogram of chicken in the
province is ₱195.00. However, a sample of 15 prices randomly collected
from different markets in the province showed an average of ₱200.00
and a standard deviation of ₱9.50. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is
this sufficient evidence to conclude that the average price of chicken
in the province is more than ₱195.00? Normality is assumed over the
population. Select the test statistic.
Answer:
Since it is the population mean that is being tested, the population
standard deviation is unknown, and n<30, the appropriate test
statistic is the t-test.

Example 7: Determine the test statistic to be used and identify whether the Central
Limit Theorem is applicable or not given the following information:

a. Ho: µ = 250 Ha: µ < 250 α = 0.05 = 5 µ = 11 n = 100 x̄ = 14

Answer:
Since n=100, the Central Limit Theorem is applicable, the
distribution is normally distributed. The appropriate test statistic is the
z-test statistic.

b. Ho: µ=8 Ha: µ≠8 α=0.05 =5 µ = 11 n = 16 x̄ = 7.6

Answer:
Since n=16, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be applied. The
appropriate test statistic is the t-test statistic.

REJECTION REGION
A rejection region is the set of all values of the test statistic that cause us
to reject the null hypothesis. It is also called as critical region. Below are the notes to
remember about the rejection region.
* If the test statistic falls into the rejection region, we reject the null
hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
 * If the test statistic falls in the non-rejection region, we say that we do
not have evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

A non-rejection region is a set of values not in the rejection region that

leads to non-rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho).
Considering the type of hypothesis test is also vital such as one-tailed test
(left or right-tailed) and two-tailed test to determine the critical values to be used.

When do we use two-tailed test?

* If the sample mean can be lesser than or greater than the population mean
the test is two tailed.
* If the alternative hypothesis contains the inequality (≠) symbol then the test
is two- tailed.
* The test is two tailed if the probability (shaded region) is found on both tails
of the distribution.
Illustration:

Since the two tailed test is non-directional, the rejection region is on both
sides of the curve.

When do we use right-tailed test?

* If the hypothesis contains the greater symbol (>), then the rejection
region is on the right tail of the curve.
* If the sample mean is greater than the population mean the test is
one tailed, right tail.
Illustration:
 Since the test is right-tailed test and is directional, then the rejection region is on
the right tail of the distribution

When do we use left-tailed test?

* If the hypothesis contains the less than symbol (<) then, the rejection region
is on the left tail of the curve.
* If the sample mean is lesser than the population mean the test is one tailed,
left tail.

Illustration:

Since the test is left-tailed test and is directional, then the rejection region is on
the left tail of the distribution

As we can see in the three illustrations above, there are lines that separates the
rejection and the non-rejection region. This line corresponds to a number called
critical values. Critical values are very important in concluding whether the null
hypothesis is to be rejected or not. The critical values could be determined using the
z-table (pls see the attach z-table after the references), if n ≥ 30, large enough to apply
the central limit theorem and the population is assumed to be known and t-table
(pls see the attach t-table after the references) if n < 30, where central limit theorem
cannot be applied and the population variance is assumed to be unknown.
Let’s consider below examples:
Example 1: Identify the rejection region and the critical values when the test is two
tailed, the level of significance is 0.05, the variance is known and n =
35?
Given: Two-tailed
Variance is known
𝛼 = 0.05
n = 35
Solution:
𝛼
= 0.025 Divide the level of significance (𝛼) by 2
2
0.5 – 0.025 = 0.4750 Subtract the quotient from 0.5

Use the z-table since n = 35 to find the

critical values
 Note: The area 0.4750 is under column headed 0.06. Move along this row to the left
until 1.9 under column headed z is reached. Therefore, Zα/2 = 1.96 at 5% level of
significance, the critical values are ±1.96.

𝛼 𝛼
=0.025 =0.025
2 2
Rejection region Rejection region

In the figure, the two tailed test with α = 0.05, the critical value for the
𝛼
rejection region cuts off =0.025 or 2.5% in the two tails of the z
2
distribution, so that Z0.025 = ±1.96. The null hypothesis (Ho) will be
rejected if z>1.96 or z<-1.96.

Example 2: Identify the rejection region and the critical values when the test is two
tailed, the level of significance is 0.05, the variance is unknown and
n = 20?
Given: Two-tailed
Variance is unknown
𝛼 = 0.05
n = 20
Solution:
df = n -1 = 20-1 =19 Solve for the degrees of freedom
using the formula n-1

Use the t-table since the variance

is unknown and n = 20 to find
the critical values

Note: In the table of critical values of t locate 19 in the first column headed df.
Because the test is two tailed with α = 0.05, refer to the column indicating an area of
0.05 in two tails. The critical values are ± 2.093.

𝛼 𝛼
=0.025 =0.025
2 2
Rejection region Rejection region
 -2.093 2.093

The null hypothesis (Ho) will be rejected if t>2.093 or t<-2.093.
