Guidelines for the Alternative Academic Work 1.

The Alternative Academic Work (AAW) for Mathematics subjects will involve three (3) problem sets. The number of problem sets is based on the number of Long Exams that Mathematics subjects usually have for the second quarter. 2. Out of these three (3) problem sets, the lowest result will be removed from the computation of the second half grade. This means that two results will be considered as two Long Exams. 3. The output submitted after the Midterm week, which could include assignment and seatwork, short quizzes, Long exam, and including recitation, will be treated as one (1) long exam. 4. The computation for the second-half grade will be based on the average of these three (3) long exams. 5. The computation for the Final grades will be based on the average of the Midterm grade (percentage score) and the second-half grade (percentage score). Those students who have passing Midterm grade may opt not to work on the Alternative Academic Work (AAW) and can assume their Midterm grade as their final grade. On the other hand, the students with passing Midterm grade can improve their final grade by working on the problem sets on AAW. Education Math majors and BS MS students are required to work on the AAW. Working on the AAW will not result to grades lower than their midterm grade. 6. The three (3) problem sets will be given on separate dates. A problem set will be given every Wednesday of the week and will be due every Tuesday of the following week. The three posting dates of the problem sets will be on October 5, 10 and 17, 2013, while submission of answers to these three problem sets will be on October 9, 16, 23, 2013, respectively. (Math 107) 7. One problem set is similar to a regular long exam wherein it is expected for students to finish the problem in one hour and thirty minutes (1.5 hours), with the assumptions that they have attended the lectures to the topics. 8. Since these lectures with their teacher will not occur, the students will be referred to the video lectures of the respective topics found online. 9. Aside from these video lectures, the students can also make use of their textbooks and other references for the subject, which were outlined in their course syllabus. 10. Submission of the solutions to these problem sets will be through email or other social network which the teacher decides to use. The use of eclass, fb group and the like are encouraged to be used for the posting of problem sets and submission of solutions. The solutions must be scanned or pictured and should be submitted online which the teacher decided to use. 11. All solutions must be hand written and the name of the student and ID number must be written in every solution page. 12. Late submission of work will not be accepted.

Name: ________________________ Coursea and Year: __________ GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Write your complete name with your signature over it, course and year and I.D number on page 1. Follow the format of the sample answer sheet which you may also print. 2. For succeeding pages (page 2, 3, 4, . . . ), your complete name with your signature over it and I.D number must be written below the answer sheet.(See sample answer sheet) 3. Use short bond paper for your answer sheets. 4. Show your complete solutions for each problem. 5. All solutions must be readable and neatly written. Avoid erasures. 6. All solutions must be written with your handwritten. 7. Scan or picture all pages and send through eclass or acebespaut@adzu.edu.ph on or before October 10, 2013 (Wednesday). Directions: Use the steps of the hypothesis testing for all the given problems. Give the implication of the results. 1. Cholesterol measurements from 54 vegetarians and 51 nonvegetarians yield the following data: Vegetarians: 115 140 160 165 175 215 125 140 160 170 180 215 125 140 160 170 180 225 130 145 160 170 180 230 130 145 165 170 180 130 150 165 170 180 130 150 165 170 185 135 150 165 170 185 135 155 165 175 185 140 160 165 175 200 Score: ___________________ I.D.

150 170 190 205 240

Do vegetarians have lower cholesterol levels than nonvegetarians? Use = 1%.

2. Ten experimental animals were subjected to conditions simulating disease. The number of heartbeats per minute, before and after the experiment, were recorded as follows: Heartbeats per Minute Animal 1 2 3 4 5 Before 70 84 88 110 105 After 115 128 146 171 158 Animal 6 7 8 9 10 Heartbeats per Minute Before 120 110 67 79 86 After 115 110 140 131 157

Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the experimental condition increases the number of heartbeats per minute? Use = 5%.

3. Blood samples from 10 persons were sent to each of two labs for cholesterol determinations. Measurements were as follows: Serum Cholesterol (mg/ml) Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Lab 1 296 268 244 272 240 244 282 254 244 262 Lab 2 318 287 260 279 245 249 294 271 262 285

Is there a statistically significant difference (at = 1%) in the cholesterol levels reported by lab 1 and lab 2? a. Should you use the independent t test or the paired t test to answer this question? b. Perform the test you choose for (a) and answer the question. c. Perform the test you did not choose for (a) and compare the result with (b). What do you observe?
