Directions:
Read the instruction carefully.
If it is a word or phrases, write legibly.
Show your solution and write it on a separate paper. If your answer is number, round off your final answer up to 2
decimal places.
Test I. Multiple Choice. Choose the letter of the correct answer. (1 point)
1. It is a measure computed on the basis of data obtained from the entire population.
a. Statistics
b. Estimation
c. Parameter
d. Distribution
5. For the sample of n observations, we calculate the sample mean and then the deviation of each
observation from the mean. The deviations are summed, and the result is divided by n−1; the result is:
a. the sample mean
b. the sample error of the mean
c. the sample standard deviation
d. the sample variance
8. Suppose that the obtained absolute value of test statistic falls within the critical region, then the statistical
decision is to:
a. Do not reject H 0
b. Accept H 0
c. Reject H 0
d. either A or B
9. The hypothesis, “The proportion of males is different from the proportion of females in their attitudes
toward abortion”:
a. research hypothesis
b. null hypothesis
c. alternative hypothesis
d. both A or C
10. The hypothesis, “The proportion of heart attack is higher among smokers than non-smokers”:
a. non-directional alternative hypothesis
b. directional alternative hypothesis
c. null hypothesis
d. none of the above
Test II. Sample Size Determination. Solve the sample size of the following. (5 points)
1. How large a random sample is needed for the research on smoking behavior of residents at Barangay
Payatas with 95% confidence coefficient if the margin of error is 10% from the true mean assuming that
the population standard deviation is 5?
2. A public health parasitologist wishes to conduct a study to estimate the prevalence of parasitism among
Filipino children aged 1 – 5 years old. How many children should be included in the study so that the
prevalence may be estimated to be within 0.03 of the true value with 95% confidence, if the prevalence in
a related study is 70%?

Interpretation/Conclusion:
2. The daily wages in a certain company are approximately normally distributed with a mean of P250.00. If
the company is employing 85 workers, pays on the average, P240.00 with standard deviation of P15.75,
can this company be charged of underpaying? Use 0.10 level of significance.

The parasitologist need 14 Filipino children 1 – 5 years old.

Statistical Decision:
Reject H 0 since the computed t value (−1.67 ¿ falls within the critical region.
Interpretation/Conclusion
The average length of time for students to register is less than 55 minutes. Thus, the new system is faster
than the old one.
2. Hypothesis
H 0 : The mean of daily wages in a company is equal to 250.
Reject H 0 if z ≥ 1.292
Computation:
240−250
z= =−5.85
( 15.75

Statistical Decision:
Reject H 0 since the computed z value (−5.85 ¿ falls within the critical region.
Interpretation/Conclusion
The mean of daily wages in a company is equal to 250. Thus, the company be charged of underpaying
their workers.
