Question

 

According to the College Board’s website, the average tuition cost per year for a public four-year college (in-state cost) is $10,230.

 

  1. Assume that you disagree with the claim. Do you think the average tuition cost is higher? Or lower?

 

Average tuition cost is higher than $10230.

  1. Using your answer in part A, write a set of hypotheses (null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis) to represent that claim and its complement. Replace the ?s below with the appropriate inequality signs (). Highlight the hypothesis that represents your claim.

 

    

H0:μ=10230     H1:μ>10230

 

  1. Gather data for tuition cost of 20 different universities. Assume the data you gather is normally distributed.

  1. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of your data set. You may use technology such as Google Sheets, Excel, or a TI-83/TI-84. Round to the nearest hundredth.

 

Mean  8953          Standard Deviation 3273.46

 

 

 

  1. Using a significance level , find the critical value using the following steps.

 

  1. What are the degrees of freedom?

 

 

 

(1)Here the sample size is 20 , we know degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 20 -1 =19

 

  1. Will this be a one-tailed or two tailed test?

 

A right-tailed test (one-tailed), for which a t-test for one mean will be used.

 

 

  1. Using table 5 from the back of your textbook (page A18 in Appendix B), what is the critical value?

 

Information provided, the significance level is α=0.05\alpha = 0.05, and the critical value for a right-tailed test is tc=1.729

 

 

  1. Add the critical values to the graph below and shade the rejection region.

(Special Instruction:  For this part, it is recommended that you do this by hand. You can print out this page and use the image below as a template to write on or you can create a handwritten normal curve. Take a photo of your graph and replace the image below with it. If you need any technical assistance with this process.

 

Since it is observed that t=−1.745≤tc=1.729t = -1.745 \le t_c = 1.729, it is then concluded that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Using the P-value approach: The p-value is p=0.9514p = 0.9514, and since p=0.9514≥0.05p = 0.9514 \ge 0.05, it is concluded that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

  1. Calculate the test statistic. Replace the ?s in the formula with the appropriate values. Round to the nearest hundredth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Add the test statistic to your graph from part F, and insert the image below.
  1. What is the P-value? View the video Hypothesis Testing for the Mean (Sigma Unknown) Part II to learn how to use Google Sheets to calculate the P-value of a t-test (transcript for Hypothesis Testing for the Mean (Sigma Unknown) Part II video).

 

 

 

  1. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis using either the test statistic or the P-value. Note that the same conclusion will be reached using either method.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. If you lower the level of significance to , does your decision change? Explain your reasoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Describe the type I and type II errors that could occur in our test by completing each of the following statements.

 

  • A ____________ (type I, type II) error will occur when the actual mean of college tuition cost is ______________ (at most, at least) $10,230 but you reject the null hypothesis, .

 

  • A ____________ (type I, type II) error will occur when the actual mean of college tuition cost is ______________ (less than, greater than) $10,230 but you fail to reject the null hypothesis, .

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Population mean = μ = 10230

Sample size = n = 20

Level of significance = α = 0.05

The null and alternative hypothesis are,

H0 :μ = 10230H1 : μ > 10230

Here we use one-sample t-test.
