Question

Suppose that BC financial aid alots a textbook stipend by claiming that the average textbook at BC bookstore costs $$ 60.27. You want to test this claim.

The null and alternative hypothesis in symbols would be:

  • H0:μ≥60.27H0:μ≥60.27
    H1:μ<60.27H1:μ<60.27
  • H0:μ=60.27H0:μ=60.27
    H1:μ≠60.27H1:μ≠60.27
  • H0:p≤60.27H0:p≤60.27
    H1:p>60.27H1:p>60.27
  • H0:p=60.27H0:p=60.27
    H1:p≠60.27H1:p≠60.27
  • H0:p≥60.27H0:p≥60.27
    H1:p<60.27H1:p<60.27
  • H0:μ≤60.27H0:μ≤60.27
    H1:μ>60.27H1:μ>60.27





The null hypothesis in words would be: 

 

  • The average of price of all textbooks from the store is greater than $$ 60.27.
  • The average of price of all textbooks from the store is less than $$ 60.27.
  • The proportion of all textbooks from the store that are less than 60.27 is equal to 50%
  • The average price of all textbooks from the store is $$ 60.27
  • The average price of textbooks in a sample is $$ 60.27





Based on a sample of 90 textbooks at the store, you find an average of 72.27 and a standard deviation of 18.4.

The point estimate is:  (to 3 decimals)

The 95 % confidence interval (use z*) is:  to  (to 3 decimals)
