The manager of a resort hotel stated that the mean guest bill for a weekend is $800 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. H0: μ ≥ 800 Ha: μ < 800 H0: μ ≤ 800 Ha: μ > 800 H0: μ = 800 Ha: μ ≠ 800 The hypotheses H0: μ ≥ 800 and Ha: μ < 800 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill μ is greater than or equal to 800 and find evidence to support μ < 800.The hypotheses H0: μ ≤ 800 and Ha: μ > 800 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 800 and find evidence to support μ > 800. The hypotheses H0: μ = 800 and Ha: μ ≠ 800 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill μ is equal to 800 and find evidence to support μ ≠ 800.

Question

(a)

Which form of the hypotheses should be used to test the manager's claim? Explain.

H₀: μ ≥ 800

H_a: μ < 800

H₀: μ ≤ 800

H_a: μ > 800

H₀: μ = 800

H_a: μ ≠ 800

The hypotheses H₀: μ ≥ 800 and H_a: μ < 800 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill μ is greater than or equal to 800 and find evidence to support μ < 800.The hypotheses H₀: μ ≤ 800 and H_a: μ > 800 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 800 and find evidence to support μ > 800. The hypotheses H₀: μ = 800 and H_a: μ ≠ 800 should be used because the accountant wants to test the manager's claim that the mean guest bill μ is equal to 800 and find evidence to support μ ≠ 800.
