Question
A mayor running for re-election claims that during his term, average municipal taxes have fallen by
$100. A conscientious statistician wants to test this claim. He surveys 36 of his neighbors and finds
that their taxes decreased (in dollars) as follows:
103, 113, 108, 114, 102, 121, 112, 103, 84, 109, 120, 94, 82, 107, 110, 100, 103, 92, 75, 105, 100, 103,
111, 91, 109, 92, 93, 105, 96, 84, 93, 107, 93, 81, 105, 87
The statistician assumes a population standard deviation of $14. Do you think the statistician should
reject the mayor's claim? Why or why not?
Step 1: State the hypothesis.

Step 2: Determine the Features of the Distribution of Point Estimates Using the Central Limit
Theorem.
