Question

Before the furniture store began its ad campaign, it averaged 146 customers per day. The manager is investigating if the average is larger since the ad came out. The data for the 16 randomly selected days since the ad campaign began is shown below: 

172, 147, 168, 163, 166, 139, 158, 151, 137, 140, 138, 137, 158, 133, 144, 144

Assuming that the distribution is normal, what can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance?

 

H0:  μ =146       

 H1  μ > 146

  1. The test statistic t  = 1.158 
  2. The p-value =  0.1325(Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)
  3. The p-value is  > αα
  4. Based on this, we should  fail to reject accept reject  the null hypothesis.

Expert Solution
Step 1

I checked your work and your calculated test statistic , t , P-value and decision are absolutely correct , Good work!

Conclusion Interpretation :

Here you've decided that fail to reject the null hypotheses it simply means that we are in favor of accepting the null hypotheses.

And in this case our null hypotheses , the population mean number of customers since the ad campaign began is not more than 146.

That is ,the data suggest that the population mean number of customers since the ad campaign began is not significantly more than 146 at α= 0.10, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean number of customers since the ad campaign began is more than 146.

Thus , the correct choice is B.

Step 2

Interpret the p-value :

Notice , if the P-value ≤ α , then the null hypothesis is rejected.

And, if the P-value > α , then the null hypothesis is not rejected.

In this case , P-value  (0.1325) > α (0.1) so we fail to reject the null hypotheses.

Hence we can say that ,if the population mean number of customers since the ad campaign began is 146 and if you collect data for another 16 days since the ad campaign began then there would be a 13.24750974% chance that the sample mean for these 16 days would be greater than 149.7.

Thus , the correct choice is D.
