The mean airfare for flights departing from Buffalo Niagara International Airport during the first three months of 2017 was $320.51. Assume the standard deviation for this population of fares is known to be $80.

Trent wants to know if the average sales generated by McDonald's restaurants in Kentucky is different than the worldwide average. He surveys 27 restaurants in Kentucky and finds the following data (in millions of dollars): 4.1, 2.8, 4.4, 4.5, 5.3, 5, 3.7, 2.9, 3.8, 4.8, 3.6, 2.3, 3.7, 2.9, 2.9, 4, 1.1, 5.2, 2.9, 5, 4, 4, 5.9, 3.2, 2.2, 4.3, 3.8 Perform a hypothesis test using a 3% level of significance. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: [? v] ? v На: ? ? v (So we will be performing a Select an answer test.) Step 2: Assuming the null hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution of point estimates using the Central Limit Theorem. By the Central Limit Theorem, we know that the point estimates are Select an answer v with distribution mean and distribution standard deviation Step 3: Find the p-value of the point estimate.
