Question
Listed below are fair market values​ (in thousands of​ dollars) of randomly selected homes on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. Use a 0.05 significance level to test a​ realtor's claim that ocean front homes​ (directly on the​ beach) have greater value than oceanside​ homes, which are not directly on the beach.
 
​Oceanfront: 2199 3750 1725 2398 2799
​Oceanside: 700 1355 795 1575 759
a. Define the parameters
 
 
A.
mu 1 equals
 
The mean value of the oceanfront homes in this sample
mu 2 equals
 
The mean value of the oceanside homes in this sample
 
B.
mu 1 equals
 
The mean value of all oceanfront homes on Long Beach Island
mu 2 equals
 
The mean value of all oceanside homes on Long Beach Island
 
C.
p 1 equals
 
The proportion of homes that are oceanfront
p 2 equals
 
The proportion of homes that are oceanside
 
D.
mu 1 equals
 
The mean number of oceanfront homes
mu 2 equals
 
The mean number of oceanside homes
 
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses
 
 
A.
Upper H 0 : mu 1 equals mu 2 Upper H 1 : mu 1 greater than mu 2
 
 
B.
Upper H 0 : p 1 equals p 2 Upper H 1 : p 1 greater than p 2
 
 
C.
Upper H 0 : mu 1 equals mu 2 Upper H 1 : mu 1 less than mu 2
 
 
D.
Upper H 0 : mu 1 equals 2199
  

Upper H 1 : mu 2 equals 700

 
 
c. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of each sample​ (round each to 1 decimal​ place):
 
​Oceanfront:
x overbar equals

nothing

  

s​ = nothing​Oceanside:  

x overbar equals

nothing

  

s​ = nothing

 
d. Calculate the​ P-value. Which of these options is closest to its​ value?
 
 
A.
negative 0.0052
 
 
B.
0.0990
 
 
C.
0.0035
 
 
D.
0.2911
 
 
e. State the technical conclusion
 
 
A.
Reject Upper H 0
 
 
B.
Do not reject Upper H 0
 
 
f. State the final conclusion
 
 
A.
There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim.
 
B.
There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim.
 
C.
There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim.
 
D.
The sample data support the claim.
 
g. Given that there are only five values in each​ sample, can we really conclude that oceanfront homes have a greater mean​ value?
 
 
A.
​Yes, the large difference in the sample means more than compensates for the fact that the samples are small
 
B.
​No, these samples are too small
