The price-to-earning (P/E) ratio is an important tool in financial work. A random sample of 14 U.S. banks gave the followingP/E ratios: 24,16,22,14,12,13,17,22,15,19,23,13,11,18. The sample mean of this data is x̄=17.1 and σ =4.5. According to the Wall Street Journal, the P/E ratio of the entire S&P 500 is μ= 19. Does this data indicate that the P/E ratios of allU.S. bank stocks are less than 19?

- what is the null hypothesis ( 17.1,19,<17.1 or <19)

-what is the alternate hypothesis (4.5,19,>19 or <19)

-When conducting the hypothesis test a P-value of .0233 was calculated. With a significance level(α)of .05, should the null hypothesis be rejected,or does it fail to reject
