Suppose the national mean annual salary for a school administrator is $91,000 a year. A school official took a sample of 25 scho
ol administrators in the state of Ohio to learn about salaries in that state to see if they differed from the national average.

(a) Formulate hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the population mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs from the national mean of $91,000.
H0: μ ≤ 91,000
Ha: μ > 91,000
H0: μ > 91,000
Ha: μ ≤ 91,000
H0: μ ≥ 91,000
Ha: μ < 91,000
H0: μ < 91,000
Ha: μ ≥ 91,000
H0: μ = 91,000
Ha: μ ≠ 91,000
(b) The sample data for 25 Ohio administrators is contained in the file named Administrator.
What is the test statistic for your hypothesis test in part (a)? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
What is the p-value for your hypothesis test in part (a)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
(c) At
α = 0.05,
can your null hypothesis be rejected? What is your conclusion?
Reject H0. We can conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary. Reject H0. We cannot conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.Do not reject H0. We can conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.
(d) Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: μ ≤ 91,000
Ha: μ > 91,000
H0: μ > 91,000
Ha: μ ≤ 91,000
H0: μ ≥ 91,000
Ha: μ < 91,000
H0: μ < 91,000
Ha: μ ≥ 91,000
H0: μ = 91,000
Ha: μ ≠ 91,000
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
State the critical values for the rejection rule. Use
α = 0.05.
(Round your answer to three decimal places. If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused tail.)

State your conclusion.
Reject H0. We can conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary. Reject H0. We cannot conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.Do not reject H0. We can conclude that the mean annual administrator salary in Ohio differs significantly from the national mean annual salary.
