Another banker, who works at a different bank, claims the average interest rate for a money market account is the highest it's been in a decade. The banker would like to carry out a hypothesis test and test the claim that the average interest rate for a money market savings account is greater than 3 percent. Why is their hypothesis test right-tailed?
The American Community Survey (ACS), part of the United States Census Bureau, conducts a yearly census similar to the one taken every ten years, but with a smaller percentage of participants. The most recent survey estimates with 90% confidence that the mean household income in the U.S. falls between $69,720 and $69,922. Find the point estimate for mean U.S. household income and the error bound for mean U.S. household income.
