Question
An energy company wants to choose between two regions in a state to install energy-producing wind turbines. A researcher claims that the wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B. To test the regions,
the average wind speed is calculated for 90 days in each region. The mean wind speed in Region A is 13.7 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.8 miles per hour. The mean wind speed in Region B is
15.1 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.2 miles per hour. At a = 0.05, can the company support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) Identify the claim and state Ho and H₂-
What is the claim?
A. The wind speed in Region A is not less than the wind speed in Region B.
B. The wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B.
C. The wind speed in Region A is the same as the wind speed in Region B.
◇ D. The wind speed in Region A is not greater than the wind speed in Region B.
Let Region A be sample 1 and let Region B be sample 2. Identify Ho and H₂.
Ho: 1
H₂: 1
