Hypothesis Testing Results on Gender and Consumption

The document presents two hypothesis tests. The first compares the proportion of males and females in a sample of 100 people. With a sample size over 30, a z-test is used at a 5% significance level. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between males and females, while the alternative is that there is a difference. The z-statistic calculated is 3.48, which exceeds the critical value of 1.96, so the null hypothesis is rejected. The second test examines differences in consumption locations for a snack. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in consumption locations, while the alternative is that there is a difference. A chi-square test is used. The calculated value of 43.

2 Hypothesis testing:-
As the sample size is more then 30, z- test is conducted. It is taken at 5% level of
significance.

Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between Male and Female.

Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant difference between Male and Female.

Male=x=62 n=100 P=100

Female=Y=38

Difference= | Xn −P| Difference= |Yn −P|


62 38
= |100 −0.5| = |100 −0.5|

= |0.12| = |−0.12|

=0.12 = 0.12

Difference = ¿
= |0.62−0.38|

=|0.24|

=0.24

3.48>1.69 so, Ho is rejected. Thus, the given research supports the hypothesis that
There is a significant difference between Male and Female.

And the table value is 7.81

So, 43.89 > 7.81

Therefore Ho is rejected.

Thus, the given research supports the hypothesis that There is significance difference
between consumption place of Balaji salted wafer.
