Let 4i denote the mean profitability of states who use their lottery profits for education, and 42 denote
the mean profitability of states who use their lottery profits for general use.
(a) State the appropriate hypotheses to be tested for this problem (refer to the motivation behind this
problem stated before the table).
(b) Draw a picture of the rejection region on the appropriate curve, and identify the critical value.
Assume that a significance level of a = 0.1 is to be used.
(c) Calculate the value of the appropriate test statistic; make sure to show all of your intermediate
work to ensure the potential of obtaining partial credit.
(d) What should be the decision and conclusions of this hypothesis test?
