The manager of a resort hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less. A member of the hotel's accounting staff noticed that the total charges for guest bills have been increasing in recent months. The accountant will use a sample of future weekend guest bills to test the manager's claim. (a) Which form of the hypotheses should be used to test the manager's claim? Explain. Ho: μ2 600 H:H< 600 Ho: HS 600 Ha:H > 600 Ho: H = 600 H:H + 600 The hypotheses Ho: u 2 600 and H: µ < 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill u is greater than or equal to 600 and find evidence to support u < 600. O The hypotheses Ho: H S 600 and H: u > 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill µ is less than or equal to 600 and find evidence to support u > 600. O The hypotheses Ho: H = 600 and H: H # 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill µ is equal to 600 and find evidence to support u + 600.

Transcribed Image Text:The manager of a resort hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $600 or less. A member of the hotel's accounting staff noticed that the total charges for guest bills have been increasing in
recent months. The accountant will use a sample of future weekend guest bills to test the manager's claim.
(a) Which form of the hypotheses should be used to test the manager's claim? Explain.
Ho:µ 2 600
На: и < 600
Ho: u s 600
На: и > 600
Ho: H = 600
Ha:µ ± 600
The hypotheses Ho: u 2 600 and H:µ < 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill u is greater than or equal to 600 and find
evidence to support u < 600.
The hypotheses Ho: u < 600 and H,: µ > 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill u is less than or equal to 600 and find
evidence to support u > 600.
The hypotheses Ho: u
= 600 and H,: u + 600 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill u is equal to 600 and find evidence to
support u + 600.
(b) What conclusion is appropriate when H, cannot be rejected?
We are not able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We cannot conclude that u > 600.
We are not able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u > 600.
We are not able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We cannot conclude that u + 600.
We are able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u =
600.
We are able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u < 600.
(c) What conclusion is appropriate when H, can be rejected?
We are able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that µ < 600.
We are able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that µ > 600.
We are not able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u > 600.
We are able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u + 600.
We are not able to conclude that the manager's claim is wrong. We can conclude that u < 600.
