(a)
Formulate the hypotheses and test for a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
a) H0: ?d ≤ 0
Ha: ?d > 0
b) H0: ?d = 0
Ha: ?d ≠ 0
 c) H0: ?d < 0
Ha: ?d = 0
d) H0: ?d ≥ 0
Ha: ?d < 0
e) H0: ?d ≠ 0
Ha: ?d = 0
Calculate the test statistic. (Use current year airfare − previous year airfare. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
answer: ______
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = answer _______
Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
a) Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
b) Reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.  
c) Do not reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
d) Reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
(part b)
What is the sample mean domestic airfare (in dollars) for business travel for each year?
current $ _______
previous $ _______
(part c)
What is the percentage change in mean airfare for the one-year period? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
answer : ______%
