Question

- Identify the claim and state Ho and H
- Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, and whether to use a z-test, a t-test, or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning.
- Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic.
- Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
- Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
- A tourist agency in Nevada claims the mean daily cost of meals and lodging for two adults traveling in the state is more than $300. You work for a consumer protection advocate and want to test this claim. In a random sample 35 pairs of adults traveling in Nevada, the mean daily cost of meals and lodging is $316. Assume the population standard deviation is $30. At α = 0.10, do you have enough evidence to support the agency’s claim?

The null and alternative hypothesis would be: Ho MMF Ho: PM = PF H₁: MMF O H₁: PM > PF O The test is: two-tailed right-tailed O The test statistic is: Based on a sample of 60 men, 25% owned cats Based on a sample of 40 women, 40% owned cats The p-value is: Ho: M = μF H₁: UMarrow_forwardK The display provided from technology available below results from using data for a smartphone carrier's data speeds at airports to test the claim that they are from a population having a mean less than 5.00 Mbps.

Explain your reasoning. Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic. Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. A government agency reports that the mean amount of earnings for full-time workers ages 25 to 34 with a master’s degree is less than $70,000. In a random sample of 15 full-time workers ages 25 to 34 with a master’s degree, the mean amount of earnings is $66,231 and the standard deviation is $5945. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the agency’s claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
