Question

It is suggested that the mean one-day travel expense by tourists in Moscow is $500 (assume all one-day travel expenses in Moscow are approximately normally distributed). In a random sample of 16 Moscow tourists, the sample mean one-day travel expense was $482 with a sample standard deviation s = 22.5. Our goal is to test whether or not the mean one-day travel expense is $500 or not.

Real life conclusion?

A) We lack evidence to suggest that the mean one-day travel expense for Moscow tourists is not $500.

B) The mean one-day travel expense is $4820

C) The mean one-day travel expense is $500

D) Evidence strongly suggests that the mean one-day travel expense for Moscow tourists is not $500.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
