A local charity believes they receive more money from people in the River Heights neighborhood than from people in the Lakeview neighborhood.
\n" ); document.write( "They conducted a survey of 24 people randomly selected form each neighborhood and recorded the results.
\n" ); document.write( "At α = 0.01, is their hypothesis correct?
\n" ); document.write( "Be sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis, the test value and the
\n" ); document.write( "critical value.
\n" ); document.write( "River Heights Lakeview
\n" ); document.write( "X bar 1: $35/person x bar 2: $25 / person
\n" ); document.write( "s 1: $5/person s 2: $8/person
\n" ); document.write( "n: 24 n:24
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: u(rh)-u(L) <= 0
\n" ); document.write( "Ha: u(rh)-u(L) >0 (claim)
\n" ); document.write( "================================
\n" ); document.write( "The critical value = 2.3263 but
\n" ); document.write( "test stat = z(35-25) = (10-0)/sqrt[5^2/24 + 8^2/24] = 5.1929
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: Since the test stat is in the critical region, reject Ho.
\n" ); document.write( "Conclusion: The test results support the claim.
