Question
Answer These questions D and E
A used car dealer says that the mean price of a three-year-old sports utility vehicle is $23,000. You suspect the claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 22 similar vehicles has a mean price of $23,691 and a standard deviation of $1911. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim at \(\alpha = 0.01\)? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

(c) Find the standardized test statistic \(t\).

\(t = 1.70\) (Round to two decimal places as needed)

(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 

- A. Fail to reject \(H_0\) because the test statistic is in the rejection region(s).
- B. Reject \(H_0\) because the test statistic is not in the rejection region(s).
- C. Fail to reject \(H_0\) because the test statistic is not in the rejection region(s).
- D. Reject \(H_0\) because the test statistic is in the rejection region(s).

(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

- A. At the 1% level of significance, there is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is not $23,000.
- B. At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is $23,000.
- C. At the 1% level of significance, there is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is $23,000.
- D. At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is not $23,000.
