Question
In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
O Ho: Hd< 0; H: H= 0; left-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H;: Hd> 0; right-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H;: Hd < 0; left-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H: Hd# 0; two-tailed
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
O The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
O The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
O The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
O P-value > 0.250
O 0.125 < P-value < 0.250
O 0.050 < P-value < 0.125
O 0.025 < P-value < 0.050
O 0.005 < P-value < 0.025

(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean cost of living index for utilities is less than that for transportation.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean cost of living index for utilities is less than that for transportation.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim that the mean cost of living index for utilities is less than that for transportation.
