The national mean sales price for a new one-family home is $181,900. A sample of 40 one-family homes in the south showed a sampl

e mean of $166,400 and a sample standard deviation of $ 33,500.
Required:
a. Formulate the null and alternative hypothesis for this problem so the sample data support the conclusion that the population mean sales prices for new one-family homes in the South is less expensive than the national mean of $181,900.
b. What is the value of the test statistic?
c. What is the p-value?
d. At α = 0,01 what is your conclusion?

Answer:

a

The  null hypothesis is  \mu  =  \$181,900

The alternative hypothesis is  \mu <  \$ 181.900

b

t = -2.92

c

p-value  =  0.0016948

d

There no sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the population mean sales prices for new one-family homes in the South is less expensive than the national mean of $181,900

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  population mean is  \mu  =  \$ 181, 900

    The  sample size is  n =  40

    The  sample  mean is  \=  x  =  \$ 166,400

      The  sample  standard deviation is s= \$ 33, 500

The  null hypothesis is  \mu  =  \$181,900

The alternative hypothesis is  \mu <  \$ 181.900

 

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      t =  \frac{ \= x  -  \mu }{ \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>    t =  \frac{  166400  - 181900 }{ \frac{33500}{\sqrt{40} } }

=>    t = -2.92

Generally the p-value is obtain from the z-table  the value is  

      p-value  =  P(Z < t ) = P(Z  <  -2.93) = 0.0016948

=>    p-value  =  0.0016948

From the calculation we see that  

     p-value  >  \alpha  hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Thus there no sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the population mean sales prices for new one-family homes in the South is less expensive than the national mean of $181,900

75% of ? Peaches is 15 peaches
drek231 [11]
To solve this problem you need to do a proportion. First you do 15 over x= 75 over 100. Now you multiply 15 by 100 which is 1500. Next, you divide 1500 by 75. YOUR ANSWER IS 20 peaches. To check your work, you could divide 20 by 4 which is 5. 5 times 3= 15 peaches.
