Which is cheaper: eating out or dining in? The mean cost of a flank steak, broccoli, and rice bought at the grocery store is $13

.04. A sample of 100 neighborhood restaurants showed a mean price of $12.60 and a standard deviation of $2 for a comparable restaurant meal. (a) Choose the appropriate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the mean cost of a restaurant meal is less than fixing a comparable meal at home. H0: - Select your answer - Ha: - Select your answer - (b) Using the sample from the 100 restaurants, what is the p value? If required, round your answer to four decimal places. (c) At α = 0.05, what is your conclusion? We - Select your answer - the null hypothesis. We - Select your answer - conclude that the cost of a restaurant meal is significantly cheaper than a comparable meal fixed at home.

Answer:

a) The null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=13.04\\\\H_a:\mu< 13.04

b) P-value = 0.0151

c) We reject the null hypothesis.

We conclude that the cost of a restaurant meal is significantly cheaper than a comparable meal fixed at home.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the mean cost of a restaurant meal is significantly less than fixing a comparable meal at home.  

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=13.04\\\\H_a:\mu< 13.04

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=100.

The sample mean is M=12.6.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=2.

The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{100}}=0.2

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{12.6-13.04}{0.2}=\dfrac{-0.44}{0.2}=-2.2

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=100-1=99

This test is a left-tailed test, with 99 degrees of freedom and t=-2.2, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

\text{P-value}=P(t

As the P-value (0.0151) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean cost of a restaurant meal is significantly less than fixing a comparable meal at home.

dusya [7]

There is a missing content in the question.

After the statements and before the the options given; there is an omitted content which says:

Referring to Table 16-5, in testing the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.117) the results were a t-statistic of 9.08 and an associated p-value of 0.0000. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this result?

Answer:

C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The resulting regression equation can be represented as:

\hat Y = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q_1 + 1.28 Q_2 + 0.617Q_3

where;

the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0

the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Our null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;

Null hypothesis :

H_0 :  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not  significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

H_a:  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05.

From the missing omitted part we added above; we can see that the   t-statistics value = 9.08 and the p-value = 0.000 .

Conclusion:

Thus; we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. i.e

The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)
