Q11
Travelocity would like to test if the average
roundtrip airfare between New York and
London is less than $1,400. A Type I error would
occur if Travelocity concludes that the average
airfare is
O a. $1,400 or more when, in reality, the
average airfare is less than $1,400.
O b. equal to $1,400 when, in reality, the
average airfare is not equal $1,400 or
more.
O c. not equal to $1,400 when, in reality, the
average airfare is equal to $1,400.
d. less than $1,400 when, in reality, the
average airfare is $1,400 or more.

Q12
A sample mean of 137, sample standard
deviation of 14.2, and sample size of 20,
Ho μ=132, H1 μ 132, a=0.01 are given. Use the
one-mean t-test to perform the required
hypothesis test about the mean, μ, of the
population from which the sample was drawn.
Use the P-value approach. Also, assess the
strength of the evidence against the null
hypothesis.
a. Test statistic: t = 1.57. P-value = 0.15.&;
Reject the null hypothesis.
b. Test statistic: t = 1.57. P-value = 0.15.&; Do
not reject null hypothesis.
c. Test statistic: t = 1.57. P-value = 0.05.&;
Do not reject null hypothesis.
d. Test statistic: t = 1.57. P-value = 0.05.&;
Reject null hypothesis.
