The following 5 questions are based on this information: An economist claims that average weekly food expenditure of households

in City 1 is more than that of households in City 2. She surveys 35 households in City 1 and obtains an average weekly food expenditure of $164. A sample of 30 households in City 2 yields an average weekly expenditure of $159. Historical data reveals that the population standard deviation for City 1 and City 2 are $12.50 and $9.25, respectively.Col1 City 1 x1(bar)=164 σ(1)=12.5 n(1)=35Col2 City 2 x2 (bar) =159 σ(2) =9.25 n2=30Let μ(1) be the mean weekly food expenditure for City 1 and μ(2) be that for City 2.1. To test the economist’s claim, the competing hypotheses should be formulated asSelect one:a. H0:μ1-μ2>0 versus Ha:μ1-μ2≤0b. H0:μ1-μ2≥0 versus Ha:μ1-μ2<02.The standard error of x(1)bar- x(2) bar isSelect one:a. 0.82b. 2.70c. 12.5d. 9.253.The value of the test statistics isSelect one:a. 0.40b. 1.85c. 0.54d. 27.784. The p-value of the test is
Select one:
a. 0.34
b. 0.03
c. 0.29
d. 0.08

5.At α=0.05,
Select one:

a. We can reject H(0) in favor of H(a)
b. We cannot reject H(0)
c. We can conclude that average weekly food expenditures in City 1 is less than that of City 2

Answer:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{0}\leq 0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0

SE=\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}=2.705

b) 2.70

t=\frac{(164-159)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}}=1.850

b. 1.85

p_v =P(Z>1.85)=0.032

b. 0.03

a. We can reject H(0) in favor of H(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{1}=164 represent the mean for the sample 1

\bar X_{2}=159 represent the mean for the sample 2

\sigma_{1}=12.5 represent the population standard deviation for the sample 1

s_{2}=9.25 represent the population standard deviation for the sample B2

n_{1}=35 sample size selected 1

n_{2}=30 sample size selected 2

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the expenditure of households in City 1 is more than that of households in City 2, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{0}\leq 0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0

We know the population deviations, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

z=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}} (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Standard error

The standard error on this case is given by:

SE=\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}

Replacing the values that we have we got:

SE=\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}=2.705

b. 2.70

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

t=\frac{(164-159)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}}=1.850  

P-value

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:

p_v =P(Z>1.85)=0.032

b. 0.03

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

a. We can reject H(0) in favor of H(a)
