- You gather data from two local churches about the average offering (a monetary donation to the church)that is collected at a weekly service. You want to see whether the average offering given at one churchis the same as the average offering at another church. The number of people who attend Church 1 is201, and the average amount offered is $12.50. The number of people who attend Church 2 is 350, andthe average amount offered is $11.87. The sample standard deviations for Church 1 and Church 2 are$3.15 and $4.57, respectively. (a) What is the hypothesis you want to test? (b) Calculate the test statistic and test your hypothesis at the 95 and 99 percent confidence levels. (c) Pretend that the sample means and standard deviations remain the same, but that the numberof people sampled at Church 2 was 201 instead of 350. Does your test-statistic change? Does the critical value change?arrow_forwardYou are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is larger than the proportion of women who own cats.You sample 160 men, and 15% own cats.You sample 60 women, and 20% own cats.Find the test statisticarrow_forwardUse the following for the next two questions: The Hershey Company wants to know if it is doing better in the US than its biggest competitor, Nestle, during their biggest sales month of October.
