You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.

Fowle Marketing Research, Inc., bases charges to a client on the assumption that telephone surveys can be completed in a mean time of 13 minutes or less. If a longer mean survey time is necessary, a premium rate is charged. A sample of 35 surveys from a particular client provided the survey times shown in the file named Fowle. Based upon past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with

σ = 9 minutes.

Is the premium rate justified for this client?

(a)

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses for this application.

H₀: μ > 13

H_a: μ ≤ 13

H₀: μ = 13

H_a: μ ≠ 13

H₀: μ ≤ 13

H_a: μ > 13

H₀: μ < 13

H_a: μ ≥ 13

H₀: μ ≥ 13

H_a: μ < 13

(b)

Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(c)

What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

p-value =

(d)

? = 0.01,

what is your conclusion?

Do not reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the premium rate should be charged.Reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the premium rate should be charged. Do not reject H₀. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the premium rate should be charged.Reject H₀. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the premium rate should be charged.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Sample size = n = 35.

Sample mean:

$\begin{array}{rcl} x & = & \frac{\sum_{} x}{n} \\ = & \frac{595}{35} \\ = & 17 \end{array}$

Step 2

(a)

Hypothesis to be tested:

H₀: μ ≤ 13

H_a: μ > 13

Step 3

(b)

Test statistic:

$\begin{array}{rcl} z & = & \frac{x - μ}{\frac{σ}{\sqrt{n}}} \\ = & \frac{17 - 13}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{35}}} \\ = & 2.63 \end{array}$
