Use the following information to answer the question. Many couples believe that it is getting too expensive to host an "average" wedding in the United States. According to the website www.costofwedding.com,theaveragecostofaweddingintheU.S.in 2009 was $24,066. Recently, in a random sample of 40 weddings in the U.S. it was found that the average cost of a wedding was $23,224, with a standard deviation of $2,903. On the basis of this, a 9 5% confidence interval for the mean cost of weddings in the U.S. is $22,296 to $24,152. Does the confidence interval provide evidence that the mean cost of a wedding has decreased? Explain your reasoning.
