One Sample Test
Problem: It is known that the average cost of men's T-shirt in malls is P 250.00. A researcher selects a
random sample of 20 t-shirts from this mall and have obtained the following data:
T-shirt Prices
1 199.00
2 179.50
3 299.75
4 259.50
5 279.75
6 259.50
7 179.00
8 499.75
9 359.75
10 459.50
11 399.00
12 269.75
13 159.50
14 149.75
15 159.75
16 189.75
17 179.75
18 259.75
19 289.50
20 299.00
Is there enough evidence for the researcher to accept the claim at (a) = 5%?
Stepwise Method
Step 1: State the null and Alternative Hypotheses
Ho: 𝜇 = P 250
Ha: 𝜇 ≠ 𝑃 250
Step 2: Identity the test procedure
Test Procedure: One Sample t-test
Step 3: Identify the level of significance
𝛼 = 0.05 𝑜𝑟 5%
Step 4: Write the Decision Rule
Reject Ho if the sig < 𝛼; Otherwise, fail to reject Ho
Step 5: Solve

Average Cost .738 19 .470 16.52500 -30.3502 63.4002
Sig. = 0.470
𝛼 = 0.05
Step 6: Decision Rule:
Since sig = 0.470 < α=0.05; We fail to reject Ho.
Step 7: Conclusion
At α=5%, Data provided evidence to conclude that the mean differs from the test value (250).
