    1. A copier machine operator monitored copy production over 30 days and found the average was 5,105 copies per day compared to the expected average of 5,000. A z-test showed the difference was statistically significant, so the null hypothesis that the average is 5,000 was rejected. It was recommended to stock more supplies. 2. A survey of 50 college students found they averaged 28 hours on Facebook per week compared to an expected average of 30 hours. A z-test showed this difference was statistically significant at the 0.01 level. It was concluded the original data was outdated and students still should reduce social media time.

    1. A copier machine operator claimed that he makes an average number of copies
    of at least 5000 per day with standard deviation of 75 copies. To make sure that
    he has enough supplies and understocking, he monitored the number of copies
    he produced for 30 days which was noted at an average of 5105. At a .05 level of
    significance, is the average number of copies produced per day is different from
    5000?
    Null Hypothesis
    The average number of copies produced per day is 5000.
    Alternative Hypothesis
    The average number of copies produced per day is different from 5000.
    Level of significance:
    0.05/2 = 0.025

    Critical Z-values table

    Level of Significance tail Level of Significance tail
    0.01 2.33 0.005 ± 2.575
    0.05 1.645 0.025 ± 1.96
    0.1 1.28 0.05 ± 1.645

    Critical z-value
    ± 1.96
    Decision Rule
    Reject null hypothesis if Z < -1.96 or Z > +1.96;
    otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis
    z-value:
    ( x́ -μ ) ( 5,105-5,000 ) 105 Where: xbar = 5,105 sample mean
    z= z= = = 7.67 µ = 5,000 population mean
    σ 75 13.69
    σ = 75 standard deviation
    √n √ 30 n = 30 observation
    Conclusion
    Reject the null hypothesis, 7.67 > 1.96; which means there is enough evidence to
    support that the average number of copies produced per day is different from 5,000.
    Recommendation
    Based on the results, the copier machine operator should stock more copier supplies
    and have enough understocking in order to keep up with customer demands and not
    run out for the day.
    2. A Social Media Agency reported that college students spent an average of 30
    hours per week on Facebook with standard deviation of 2.5 hours. To find out if
    this still true, a new survey was conducted among 50 students and reported an
    average of 28 hours spent on Facebook. At a .01 level of significance, is there
    average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook different
    from 30 hours?
    Null Hypothesis
    The average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook is 30
    hours.
    Alternative Hypothesis
    The average number of hours which college students spent on Facebook is
    different from 30 hours.
    Level of significance:
    0.01/2 = 0.005

    0.1 1.28 0.05 ± 1.645

    Critical z-value
    ± 2.575
    Decision Rule
    Reject null hypothesis if Z < -2.575 or Z > +2.575;
    otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis
    z-value:
    ( x́ -μ ) ( 28-30 ) -2 Where: xbar = 28 sample mean
    z= z= = = -5.66 µ = 30 population mean
    σ 2.5 0.3536
    σ = 2.5 standard deviation
    √n √50 n = 50 observation
    Conclusion
    Reject the null hypothesis, -5.66 < -2.575; which means there is enough
    evidence to support that the average number of hours which college students
    spent on Facebook is different from 30 hours.

    Recommendation
    Based on the results, the data that the Social Media Agency has is outdated and
    no longer accurate. Although, the hours spent actually went down to 28, it is still
    recommended that students still reduce the hours they spend on social media. It
    may increase productivity and give them more time to work on their over mental
    and physical well-being.
