Question
According to a leasing firm's reports, the mean number of miles driven annually in its leased cars is 13,480 miles with a standard deviation of 1240 miles. The
company recently starting using new contracts which require customers to have the cars serviced at their own expense. The company's owner believes the mean
number of miles driven annually under the new contracts, H, is less than 13,480 miles. He takes a random sample of 80 cars under the new contracts. The cars
in the sample had a mean of L3,280 annual miles driven. Is there support for the claim, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the population mean number of
miles driven annually by cars under the new contracts, is less than 13,480 miles? Assume that the population standard deviation of miles driven annually was
not affected by the change to the contracts.
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.
Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consulta list of formulas.)
(a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H.
H :0
H :0
(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
(Choose one) ▼
D=0 OsO
(c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more dedmal places.)
?
(d) Find the p-value. (Round to three ar more decimal places.)
(e) Can we support the daim that the population mean number of miles driven
annually by cars under the new contracts is less than 13,480 miles?
OYes ONo
