1. This problem involves a one-sample t-tests using variables from the Framingham data set. For inferential
purposes, consider the people in the Framingham data set to be a random sample of the population of all
non-institutionalized adults. Use 𝛼 = .05 for all significance tests. A person with body mass index higher
the 25 is classified as overweight. Determine whether the mean body mass index of the population of
non-institutionalized adults as measured during the first examination (BMI1) is greater than 25. From the
PASW output, answer the following:
a) State the null and alternative hypothesis for determining whether the mean body mass index of the
population of non-institutionalized adults as measured during the first examination (BMI1) is greater than
25.
Ho: M=25
Ha: M>25
b) Conduct the one-sample t-test and determine, based on the resulting p-value, whether the mean body
mass index of the population of non-institutionalized adults as measured during the first examination is
greater than 25?

One-Sample Test
Test Value = 25
95% Confidence Interval
Sig. (2- Mean of the Difference
t df tailed) Difference Lower Upper
Body Mass Index 3.796 399 .000 .74253 .3580 1.1270
(kg/(M*M) (1)
F value= 3.796
P value = 0.0005 /2 (two tailed kasi one tailed lang pag to the right) = 0.00025

c) What course of action can you make from the output of the one-sample t-test?
Decision: Reject Ho
Inference: The data provided sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean body mass index of the
population of non-institutionalized adults as measured during the first examination (BMI1) is greater
than 25.
