A study is performed in San Antonio to determine whether the average weekly grocery bill per five-person family in the town is s

ignificantly different from the national average. A random sample of 50 five-person families in San Antonio showed a mean of $133.474 and a standard deviation of $11.193. Assume that the national average weekly grocery bill for a five-person family is $131.
Is the sample evidence statistically significant? If so, at what significance levels can you reject the null hypothesis?

Answer:

No, the sample evidence is not statistically significant (P-value = 0.125).

To reject the null hypothesis, the P-value has to be smaller than the significance level, so the significance level to reject the null hypothesis has to be 0.125 or higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the average weekly grocery bill per five-person family in San Antonio is significantly different from the national average.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=131\\\\H_a:\mu\neq 131

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=50.

The sample mean is M=133.474.

As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=11.193.

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

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{11.193}{\sqrt{50}}=1.583

Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:

t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{133.474-131}{1.583}=\dfrac{2.474}{1.583}=1.563

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=50-1=49

This test is a two-tailed test, with 49 degrees of freedom and t=1.563, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):

P-value=2\cdot P(t>1.563)=0.125

As the P-value (0.125) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is  not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the average weekly grocery bill per five-person family in San Antonio is significantly different from the national average.
