QUESTION

A sales representative for Pinnacle Golf, a manufacturer of golf balls, is attempting to convince the pro shop manager of the Whistling Straits Golf Club to carry their recently introduced new line of golf balls that have a larger distance than any of the existing balls that the shop is currently selling. While the “extra” distance is a feature that should make the balls more attractive, the new balls are more expensive than the current balls. If the company’s claim about the new balls is found to be accurate, then the manager will carry the new line of balls. To test the new balls, the pro shop manager asked the club’s golf pro to hit 100 of the top-selling brand of balls and 100 of the new balls. The distance traveled by both the new and current balls was recorded.
For this scenario, which of the following would be the proper set of hypotheses?

Use the scenario from above question :

The manager ran the following output, none of which might be correct. What should Whistling Straits Golf Club do? Use a significance level of not more than .05.

Reject the null hypothesis and do not carry the new line of golf balls

Reject the null hypothesis and carry the new line of golf balls

Fail to reject the null hypothesis and carry the new line of golf balls

Fail to reject the null hypothesis and do not carry the new line of golf balls

Use the scenario from question 4:
The manager ran the following output, none of which might be correct. What should Whistling Straits Golf Club do? Use
a significance level of not more than .05.
