Question

Suppose that BC financial aid allots a textbook stipend by claiming that the average textbook at BC bookstore costs $$ 65.99. You want to test this claim. The null and alternative hypothesis in symbols would be:

  • H0:μ=65.99H0:μ=65.99
    H1:μ≠65.99H1:μ≠65.99
  • H0:μ≤65.99H0:μ≤65.99
    H1:μ>65.99H1:μ>65.99
  • H0:p≥65.99H0:p≥65.99
    H1:p<65.99H1:p<65.99
  • H0:p=65.99H0:p=65.99
    H1:p≠65.99H1:p≠65.99
  • H0:p≤65.99H0:p≤65.99
    H1:p>65.99H1:p>65.99
  • H0:μ≥65.99H0:μ≥65.99
    H1:μ<65.99H1:μ<65.99

Correct

The null hypothesis in words would be:

 

 

  • The average price of textbooks in a sample is $$ 65.99
  • The average of price of all textbooks from the store is greater than $$ 65.99.
  • The average of price of all textbooks from the store is less than $$ 65.99.
  • The proportion of all textbooks from the store that are less than 65.99 is equal to 50%
  • The average price of all textbooks from the store is $$ 65.99
Correct

Based on a sample of 150 textbooks at the store, you find an average of 78.59 and a standard deviation of 11.4. The point estimate is:  (to 3 decimals) The 99 % confidence interval (use z*) is:  to  (to 3 decimals) Based on this we:

  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis
