The average cost of tuition and room and board at a small private liberal arts college is reported to be $8,500 per term, but a
financial administrator believes that the average cost is higher. A study conducted using 350 small liberal arts colleges showed that the average cost per term is $8,745. The population standard deviation is $1,200. Let α = 0.05. What is the critical z value for this test?
From the given problem As average cost of tuition and room and board at a small private liberal is less than the financial administrator As hypothesis is true.
As standard deviation is $ 1,200
α = 0.05
H₀: µ ≤ $8,500
if the null hypothesis is true then value for critical z is +1.645.
No. If you still want the 46 7/8 square foot table and less than 6ft wide than the table length must be greater than 7 1/2 feet long. For the math to work out. Because, the 7 1/2 foot long table would need a 6 1/4 wide table to fit the 46 7/8 square foot.
