A mayor running for re-election claims that during his term, average municipal taxes have fallen by $125. Aconscientious statistician wants to test this claim. She surveys 38 of her neighbors and finds that their taxesdecreased (in dollars) as follows:102, 129, 94, 182, 126, 146, 145, 154, 158, 142, 73, 198, 151, 115, 177, 136, 159, 89, 105, 145, 69, 154,140, 107, 127, 172, 69, 158, 77, 82, 192, 116, 53, 134, 98, 97, 180, 146The statistician assumes a population standard deviation of $36. Do you think the statistician should rejectthe mayor's claim? Why or why not?Step 1: State the hypothesis.? V%3DStep 2: 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 answerwithdistribution meanand distribution standard deviationStep 3: Assuming the Claim is True, Find the Probability of Obtaining the Point Estimate.P(? v? v= P( ? v ? vStep 4: Make a Conclusion About the Claim.What do you think? Based on the probability you calculated in step 3 of obtaining the point estimate, wouldyou reject the claim? Think about your answer to this step yourself; this step is not graded.
