Question
A company claims that the mean monthly residential electricity consumption in a certain region is more than
880
kiloWatt-hours (kWh). You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of
63
residential customers has a mean monthly consumption of
900
kWh. Assume the population standard deviation is
121
kWh. At
α=0.05,
can you support the claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).(a) Identify
H0
and
Ha.
Choose the correct answer below.H0:
μ=900
Ha:
μ≠900

(claim)Ha:
μ≠880
(b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice. Use technology.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The critical value is
nothing.
The critical values are
±nothing.
Identify the rejection region(s). Select the correct choice below.
The rejection regions are
z<−1.64
and
z>1.64.
The rejection region is
z<1.64.
The rejection region is
z>1.64.
(c) Find the standardized test statistic. Use technology.
The standardized test statistic is
z=nothing.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

- A sample of 14 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is normal. The weight of each bag was then recorded. The mean weight was 2 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.12 ounces. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.1 ounce. x = σ = sx = n = n − 1 =arrow_forwardUse the formula to find the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample means, I1 – X2.

The level of ozone normally found is 7.5 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 66 samples is 7.7 ppm with a standard deviation of 1.0 Does the data support the claim at the 0.025 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 2 of 5 : Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.
