In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Does this information indicate that the population mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans on the Navajo Reservation? Use a 5% level of significance. (Let d = houses - hogans.)
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?
O Ho: Hd > 0; H,: Hd = 0; right-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H: Hg < 0; left-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H: Hd > 0; right-tailed
O Ho: Hd = 0; H,: Hg + 0; two-tailed
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
O The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately normal distribution.
O The Student's t. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
O The standard normal. We assume that d has an approximately uniform distribution.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
O p-value > 0.250
O 0.125 < Pp-value < 0.250
O 0.050 < P-value < 0.125
O 0.025 < P-value <0.050
O 0.005 < p-value < 0.025
O p-value < 0.005

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
