Question

How much customers buy is a direct result of how much time they spend in the store. A study of average shopping times in a large national houseware store gave the following information (Source: Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping by P. Underhill).

Women with female companion: 8.3 min.
Women with male companion: 4.5 min.

Suppose you want to set up a statistical test to challenge the claim that a woman with a female friend spends an average of 8.3 minutes shopping in such a store.

(a) What would you use for the null and alternate hypotheses if you believe the average shopping time is less than 8.3 minutes?
Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? ≠ 8.3Ho: ? < 8.3; H1: ? = 8.3    Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? < 8.3Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? > 8.3

Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test?
right-tailedtwo-tailed    left-tailed

(b) What would you use for the null and alternate hypotheses if you believe the average shopping time is different from 8.3 minutes?
Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? > 8.3Ho: ? ≠ 8.3; H1: ? = 8.3    Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? < 8.3Ho: ? = 8.3; H1: ? ≠ 8.3

Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test?

(d) What would you use for the null and alternate hypotheses if you believe the average shopping time is different from 4.5 minutes?
Ho: ? ≠ 4.5; H1: ? = 4.5Ho: ? = 4.5; H1: ? < 4.5    Ho: ? = 4.5; H1: ? ≠ 4.5Ho: ? = 4.5; H1: ? > 4.5
