The cost of a wedding has skyrocketed in recent years. As a result, many couples are opting to have their weddings in the Caribbean. A Caribbean vacation resort recently advertised that the cost of a Caribbean wedding was less than $10 000. Listed below is the total cost (in $ thousands) for a sample of eight Caribbean weddings:
$9.4 | $10.7 | $10.1 | $9.2 | $9.2 | $10.1 | $9.4 | $10.0 |
a. State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. (Enter the final answers in thousands of dollars.)
H0: μ ≥
H1: μ <
b. State the decision rule for 0.10 significance level. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Reject H0 if t < .
c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Value of the test statistic
d. At the 0.10 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean wedding cost is less than $10,000 as advertised?
(Click to select) Reject Do not reject H0. There is (Click to select) enough not enough evidence to conclude that the cost is less than $10,000.
H0: >= 10
Ha: < 10
b)
t critical value at 0.10 significance level with 6 df = -1.440
Decision rule = Reject H0, if t < -1.440
c)
From sample data,
= 9.7286 , S = 0.5765
Test statistics
t = ( - ) / ( S /sqrt(n) )
= ( 9.7286 - 10) / ( 0.5765 / sqrt ( 7 ) )
= -1.246
d)
Since test statistics > -1.440 , Do not reject H0.
Do not reject H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the cost is less than $10,000.

A recent article claimed that the mean wedding cost in the US is $28,400. A random sample of 44 weddings from this year was taken from the western New York region. Test, at the 5% significance level, if the mean cost of a wedding in Western New York is different than the national average. The costs of those weddings are in the Excel spreadsheet under the Files link, in the tab named Wedding costs. What is the value of the...
00:55:16 A wedding website states that the average cost of a wedding is $29,205. One concerned bride hopes that the average is less than reported. To see if her hope is correct, she surveys 36 recently married couples and finds that the average cost of weddings in the sample was $27,338. Assuming that the population standard deviation is $4532, is there sufficient evidence to support the bride's hope at the 0.02 level of significance? Step 3 of 3: Draw a...
In order to conduct a hypothesis test for the population mean, a random sample of 24 observations is drawn from a normally distributed population. The resulting sample mean and sample standard deviation are calculated as 6.3 and 2.5, respectively. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table). H0: μ ≤ 5.1 against HA: μ > 5.1 a-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal...
