Question
A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of
3,800
bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of
100
buses resulted in a sample mean of
3,825
bus miles and a sample standard deviation of
175
bus miles. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.
 
 
 

Question content area bottom

Part 1
a. Is there evidence that the population mean bus miles is more than
3,800
bus​ miles? (Use a
0.05
level of​ significance.)
 
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
 
H0​:

​(Type integers or​ decimals.)
Part 2
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
 
tSTAT=enter your response here
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
The critical​ value(s) for the test statistic​ is(are)
enter your response here.
​(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)
Part 4
Is there sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis using
α=0.05​?
 
 
A.
Do not reject
the null hypothesis. There is
insufficient
evidence at the
0.05
level of significance that the population mean bus miles is less than
3,800
bus miles.
 
B.
Reject
the null hypothesis. There is
sufficient
evidence at the
0.05
level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than
3,800
bus miles.
 
C.
Do not reject
the null hypothesis. There is
insufficient
evidence at the
0.05
level of significance that the population mean bus miles is greater than
3,800
bus miles.
