The mean price of a Big Mac in the U.S. in July 2016 was $5.04. For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of European McDonald's
restaurants. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that the mean July 2016 price of a Big Mac in Europe is less than the reported U.S. price? Test the relevant hypotheses using
a = 0.05.
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
O Ho: H = 5.04
H: H > 5.04
O Ho: u = 5.04
HH 5.04
O Ho: H > 5.04
H < 5.04
O Ho: H = 5.04
HH= 5.04

Need help with this problem. It is believed that large doses of acetaminophen (the activeingredient in over the counter pain relievers like Tylenol) may cause damage to the liver. A researcherwants to conduct a study to estimate the proportion of acetaminophen users who have liver damage. Forparticipating in this study, he will pay each subject $20 and provide a free medical consultation if the patienthas liver damage.(a) If he wants to limit the margin of error of his 98% confidence interval to 2%, what is the minimumamount of money he needs to set aside to pay his subjects?(b) The amount you calculated in part (a) is substantially over his budget so he decides to use fewer subjects.How will this affect the width of his confidence interval?
