The "Daily Rag of Metropolis" states that the mean price of a house on Easy Street is $178,100.
--------------------------------
A realtor who sells houses on Easy Street thinks the mean price of a house is more than $178,100.
--------------------------------
If sample data is collected from 20 sales and the sample mean, xbar=$189,200 and the population standard deviation, r(greek sigma)=$18,725, test the realtor's claim at a(alpha)=0.05.
Ho: u = 178,100
Ha: u > 178,100
---
Find the test statistic: t(189,200)= (189,200-178,100)/[18,725/sqrt(20)]
= 2.6510
---
p-value = P(t > 2.6510 when df = 19) = tcdf(2.6510,100,df=19)= 0,0079
----
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
Note: That is the same as saying the ts in in the rejection interval.
