Problem / Situation:
It has been a year since we started school in Velez College, this testing is done to
determine if the students in Velez had an increase in their body weight due to the stress created
by studying for exams and lack of sleep in the one year they had here in Velez.
Steps in Hypothesis Testing:
1. H
o
: Students weight did not increase through the school year.
H
a :
Students weight has increased through the school year.
2. a = 1%; one-tailed

3. t-test will be used


4. Computations:

S
d
2=

n(n-1)

=18(1052.25)-(-25.5)
2
18(17)

=18,940.5-(-650.25)
306

=19,590.75
306

=64.02

S
d
=8.0012
d/n=-25.5/18 = -1.42
=4.24





t=d/n
s
d_


=-1.42
8.0012
4.24

=1.13

5. df= n-1= 18-1=17
6. Tabular value = 2.567
7. Accept H
o
because the computed value is lesser than the tabular value. It means that the
weight of the students this year has significantly increased due to the reasons that they lack
sleep and are stressed.
