A company specializes in producing bunkers located in places with extremely cold climates under 0°C. A prototype for a new bunker design using different structure design and materials was tested to have the following average interior temperatures: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5 °C using α = 0.05.

Both routes go through a railroad crossing, and sometimes she needs to stop at the crossing to allow trains to pass. She claims that the proportion of times she needs to stop when taking route E is different from the proportion of times she needs to stop when taking route W. She conducted the following hypothesis test at the significance level of α=0.10. H0:pE=pWHa:pE≠pW In the hypotheses, pE represents the proportion of times she needs to stop at the crossing when using route E, and pWrepresents the proportion of times she needs to stop at the crossing when using route W. All conditions for inference were met, and the resulting p-value was 0.37. Which of the following is the correct decision for the test? The p-value is less than α, and the null hypothesis is rejected.
