The average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is reported to be less than $18,500 per t

erm. A financial administrator at one of the colleges believes that the average cost is higher. The administrator conducted a study using 150 small liberal arts colleges. It showed that the average cost per term is $18,200. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,400. Let α= 0.05. What are the null and alternative hypothesis for this study?

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this study are:

H_0: \mu=18500\\\\H_a:\mu< 18500

The null hypothesis is rejected (P-value=0.004).

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is  less than $18,500 per term.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.

The claim is that the average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is  less than $18,500 per term.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \mu=18500\\\\H_a:\mu< 18500

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=150.

The sample mean is M=18200.

The standard deviation of the population is known and has a value of σ=1400.

We can calculate the standard error as:

\sigma_M=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1400}{\sqrt{150}}=114.31

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{M-\mu}{\sigma_M}=\dfrac{18200-18500}{114.31}=\dfrac{-300}{114.31}=-2.624

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

P-value=P(z

As the P-value (0.004) 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 average cost of tuition plus room and board at small private liberal arts colleges is  less than $18,500 per term.

 If my above assumption is correct, we can easily find the area of the left side of the rectangle by finding the area of 3 things. The first is the area of the entire region.

At = (0.8)(1.0+1.4) = 1.92

Next we need the area of the circle. Which is pi*r^2, with r being height divided by two. (0.4)
C = 0.502

Finally we need to find the area of the rectangle left region. Which is basically the rectangle from the center of the circle region to the end of the left of the entire region. This is just (1.0)(0.8) = 0.8

Finally we can find the area of the light blue area by just subtracting half the area of the circle (dark blue) from the area we just calculated.
0.8 - (0.502 / 2) = 0.549

Now for the probability we do this area divided by total area.

0.549/1.92 = 0.285 or about 0.29 which is just 29%

The volume of a cube can be found using the equation V = s³, where V is the volume and s is the measure of one side of the cube.
