Question
A used car dealer says that the mean price of a​ three-year-old sports utility vehicle is
​$19,000.
You suspect this claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of
25
similar vehicles has a mean price of
​$19,623
and a standard deviation of
​$1950.
Is there enough evidence to reject the claim at
α=0.05​?
Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.
 
 
 
​(a) Write the claim mathematically and identify
H0
and
Ha.
 
Which of the following correctly states
H0
and
Ha​?
 
 
A.
H0​:
μ=​$19,000
Ha​:
μ>​$19,000
 
B.
H0​:
μ=​$19,000
Ha​:
μ≠​$19,000
 
C.
H0​:
μ≠​$19,000
Ha​:
μ=​$19,000
 
D.
H0​:
μ>​$19,000
Ha​:
μ≤​$19,000
 
E.
H0​:
μ≥​$19,000
Ha​:
μ<​$19,000
 
F.
H0​:
μ=​$19,000
Ha​:
μ<​$19,000
​(b) Find the critical​ value(s) and identify the rejection​ region(s).
 
What​ is(are) the critical​ value(s),
t0​?
 
t0=enter your response here
​(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Determine the rejection​ region(s). Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer​ box(es) within your choice.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
A.
enter your response here<t<enter your response here
 
B.
t<enter your response here
and
t>enter your response here
 
C.
t<enter your response here
 
D.
t>enter your response here
​(c) Find the standardized test statistic t.
 
t=enter your response here
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
​(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
 
 
A.
Reject
H0
because the test statistic
is
in the rejection​ region(s).
 
B.
Fail to reject
H0
because the test statistic
is
in the rejection​ region(s).
 
C.
Reject
H0
because the test statistic
is not
in the rejection​ region(s).
 
D.
Fail to reject
H0
because the test statistic
is not
in the rejection​ region(s).
​(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
 
 
A.
At the
5​%
level of​ significance, there
is not
sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is $19,000.
 
B.
At the
5​%
level of​ significance, there
is not
sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is not $19,000.
 
C.
At the
5​%
level of​ significance, there
is
sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is $19,000.
 
D.
At the
5​%
level of​ significance, there
is
sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean price is not $19,000.
