Question

An energy company wants to choose between two regions in a state to install​ energy-producing wind turbines. A researcher claims that the wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B. To test the​ regions, the average wind speed is calculated for 60 days in each region. The mean wind speed in Region A is 13.9 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.8 miles per hour. The mean wind speed in Region B is 15.4 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.2 miles per hour. At α=0.05​, can the company support the​ researcher's claim?

​(a) Identify the claim and state
H0
and
Ha.
 
What is the​ claim?
A. The wind speed in Region A is not greater than the wind speed in Region B.
B. The wind speed in Region A is the same as the wind speed in Region B.
C. The wind speed in Region A is not less than the wind speed in Region B.
D. The wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B.
 
Let Region A be sample 1 and let Region B be sample 2. Identify H0 and Ha.
 
 Find the critical​ value(s) and identify the rejection region. Find the standardized test statistic z
 
 Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
