STATISTICS & PROBABILITY
Learning Competency: Formulates the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses on a

population proportion.
Directions: Choose the best answer to the given questions or statements. Write the letter of your
choice on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Which of the following words suggests a right-tailed test?
a. smaller
b. different
c. increased
d. unequal
2. In a public junior high school, a study found out that 40% of Grade 7 students are overweight. Is
this lower for a grade level age if a sample of 100 students was randomly chosen at 0.05 level of
significance? What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
a. Ho: p = 0.40
b. Ha: p ≠ 0.40
c. Ha: p < 0.40
d. Ho: p < 0.40
3. A mayor is concerned about the percentage of city residents who express disapproval of his job
performance. His political committee pays for a newspaper ad, hoping to keep his disapproval rating
below 21%. They will use a follow-up poll to determine effectiveness. What is the correct null
hypothesis?
a. Ho: μ > 21
b. Ho: p > 0.20
c. Ho: p < 0.21
d. Ho: p > 0.21
4. In problem no. 3, what is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
a. Ha: p < 0.21
b. Ha: p > 0.21
c. Ha: μ < 0.21
d. Ha: p < 0.20
5. Which of the following null and alternative (hypothesis) hypotheses are correctly written in
symbols?
a. Ho: p = .10 b. Ho: p ≤ .40
Ha: p < .20 Ha: p > .40
c. Ho: p < .30 d. Ho: p ≥ .50
Ha: p = .30 Ha: p > .50
Learning Competency: Identifies the appropriate form of the test-statistic when the Central
Limit Theorem is to be used.
1. In a study about household income conducted in a small town, it was found out that 7% of all
families in the town earn less than P4,000 per month. Out of 64 families who were randomly selected,
10 families earn less than P4,000 per month. Is the sample large enough to use the Central Limit
Theorem?
a. No, because 10/64≤5 c. Yes, because 64≥30
b. No, because 64(0.07)≤5 d. Yes, because 64(0.93) ≥ 5
2. In testing hypothesis involving population proportion, when do we say that the sample size (n) is
sufficiently large to use the Central Limit Theorem?
a. if n≥ 30 c. if np≥ 5, nq≥ 5
b. if n<100 d. if n/p≤5, n/q≤5
3. Compute for the value of 𝑝̂ if n = 740 and x = 259.
a.0.35 c. 0.52
b. 0.40 d. 2.86
4. Which of the following test statistic is appropriate to use in testing hypothesis involving population
proportion?
a.t-test c. p-test
b. z-test d. c-test
5. In Genaro National High School, it is estimated that approximately 15% of the students ride
bicycles in going to school. In a random sample of 90 senior high students, 19 are found to ride
bicycles in coming to class. What is the value of the population proportion?
a. 0.15 c. 0.29
b. 0.21 d. 4.74
Learning Competency: Identifies the appropriate rejection region for a given level of
significance when the Central Limit Theorem is to be used.
1. In a right-tailed test with 𝛼 = 0.01, the critical value of z is:
a. 1.28 c. 1.96
b. 1.65 d. 2.33
2. For a two-tailed test with a sample size of 40, the null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of
significance if the test statistic is.
a. 𝑧 ≤ −1.28 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.28 c. ≤ −1.96 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.96
b. 𝑧 ≤ −1.645 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.645 d. 𝑧 ≤ −2.33 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 3.33
3. In the two-tailed test, the rejection region lies on ___________ of the normal distribution:
a. center c. right tail
b. left tail d. both tails
4. Given the normal curve at the right, what is the rejection region?
a. 𝑧 ≤ −1.96 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.96
b. 𝑧 ≥ −1.645 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.645
c. 𝑧 ≥ −1.96 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≤ 1.96
d. ≤ 1.645 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.645
5. In the given problem below, identify the rejection region. It is claimed that the mean distance of a
certain type of vehicle is 35 miles per gallon of gasoline with population standard deviation σ = 5
miles. What can be concluded about the claim using α = 0.1 if a random sample of 49 such vehicles
has sample mean, x̅ = 36 miles?
a. 𝑧 ≤ −1.28 c. ≤ −1.645 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 1.645
b. 𝑧 ≥ 2.33 d. 𝑧 ≤ −2.575 𝑜𝑟 𝑧 ≥ 2.575
