Question 311584: A microwave oven repairer says that the mean repair cost of damaged microwave ovens is less than $110. You want to test this claim.You find that a random sample of five microwave ovens has a mean repair cost of $117 and a standard deviation of $12.50. With alpha at 0.01, do you have enough evidence to support the repairman's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.

A microwave oven repairer says that the mean repair cost of damaged microwave ovens is less than $110.
---------------------------------
You want to test this claim.
You find that a random sample of five microwave ovens has a mean repair cost of $117 and a standard deviation of $12.50.
---------------------------------
With alpha at 0.01, do you have enough evidence to support the repairman's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
=============================================================
Ho: u >= 110
Ha: u < 110 (claim)
--------------------------
t(117) = (117-110)/[12.5/sqrt(5)] = 1.2522
------------
p-value = P(t < 1.2522 with df=4) = 0.8606
-----------
Since the p-value is greater than 1%, fail to reject Ho.
---
The test results do not support the claim.
==============================================
