Question 272577: Most air traffic passenger use e-tickets. Electronic ticketing allows passengers not worry about paper tickets and it reduces the airlines costs. However in recent times airlines have begun to receive complaints from passengers regarding e-tickets, especially when having to switch planes. To investigate this problem an independent watchdog agency contacted a random sample of 21 airports and collected data on the number of complaints due to e-tickets. The information is as follows;
14.00, 14.00, 16.00, 12.00, 12.00, 14.00, 13.00, 15.00, 16.00, 15.00,
14.00, 12.00, 15.00, 15.00, 14.00, 13.00, 13.00, 12.00, 13.00, 10.00,
13.00
At the .05 level of significance is there evidence to conclude that the ten year average of 15 complaints per month has now changed and actually increased due to electronic ticketing?

==============
Ho: u = 15
Ha: u > 15
--------
sample mean = 13.57
-----
crit value for one-tail test, alpha=5%, df = 20: t =invT(0.95,20)= 1.7247
-----
test statistic: t(13.57) = (13.57-15)/(1.5/sqrt(21)) = -4.368
------
Conclusion: since the test stat is not in the reject interval, fail
to reject Ho.
