The Texas Department of Transportation built hundreds of bridges in 2018. To check the average cost to build
a bridge, a random sample of n = 10 bridges was chosen. The mean and standard deviation for the sample are
$12,100,000 (12.1 M) and $150,000 (0.15 M), respectively. The department claims that the average bridge
building cost is $12,000,000 (12M). Normality is assumed for the cost. Use the sample data to test that the
department is correct. Use a = 0.05.
a. State the appropriate hypotheses.
b. Calculate the value of the test statistic. )
c. Determine the rejection region.
d. What is your conclusion? Interpret your conclusion.
