Chapter 7.2, Problem 7.14ACB
Libor interest rate. The interest rate at which London banks lend money to one another is called the London interbank offered rate, or Libor. The British Bankers Association regularly surveys international banks for the Libor rate. One recent report (Bankrate.com, March 16, 2016) had the average Libor rate at 1.2% for 1-year loans—a value considered high by many Western banks. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses for testing the reported value.

You are volunteering for a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve child
literacy. This organization has asked for your help gathering information on the reading
activities that local children engage in.
1. For each of the following scenarios, state the null and alternative hypotheses.
Scenario A: You read in a report that preschool-aged children have on average 5.2 books at
home. You are concerned that children in your community have fewer books.
Scenario B: The nonprofit recently engaged in a campaign to encourage elementary school
children to read more. A previous study found that children in your community read in their
free time for 48 minutes per day on average. You would like to find out whether the time
spent reading among elementary school students increased after the campaign.
Scenario C: Your local public library reported last year that the average number of children
visiting the library each day was 77. You would like to test whether that has changed.
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR PART "e" i- vi ONLY, please. Also can you please show step by step how to get null and alternative in the hypothesis?
