(a)
Formulate the hypotheses and test for a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
H0: μd ≥ 0
Ha: μd < 0
H0: μd ≤ 0
Ha: μd > 0
    
H0: μd ≠ 0
Ha: μd = 0
H0: μd < 0
Ha: μd = 0
H0: μd = 0
Ha: μd ≠ 0
Calculate the test statistic. (Use current year airfare − previous year airfare. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
 
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = 
Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
Reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.Reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.    Do not reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
(b)
What is the sample mean domestic airfare (in dollars) for business travel for each year?
current$ previous$ 
(c)
What is the percentage change in mean airfare for the one-year period? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
