1. A researcher claims that the average salary of a private school teacher is greater than P35,000 with a standard deviation of P7,000. A sample of 35 teachers has a mean salary of P37,000. Test the claim of the researcher. At 0.05 level of significance, test the claim of the researcher.



2. A researcher reports that the average salary of a college dean is more than P65,000. A sample of 35 college deans has a mean salary of P67,000. At 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the college deans earn more than P65,000 a month. The standard deviation of the population is P5,250.
