Chapter 10, Problem 54DA

Refer to the Lincolnville School District bus data.

1. a. Select the variable for the number of miles traveled last month. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean miles traveled last month equals 10,000. Use the .01 significance level. Find the p-value and explain what it means.
2. b. A study of school bus fleets reports that the average per bus maintenance cost is $4,000 per year. Using the maintenance cost variable, conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean maintenance cost for Lincolnville’s bus fleet is more than $4,000 at the .05 significance level. Determine the p-value and report the results.
