Assume all populations are normally distributed. A travel analyst claims that the mean price of a round trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles is less than $507. In a random sample of 55 round trip flights from NYC to LA, the mean price is $502. Assume the population standard deviation is $111. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the travel analyst’s claim?

Question

Assume all populations are normally distributed.

A travel analyst claims that the mean price of a round trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles is less than $507. In a random sample of 55 round trip flights from NYC to LA, the mean price is $502. Assume the population standard deviation is $111. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support

the travel analyst’s claim?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
