A fitness magazine claims that the mean cost of a yoga session is no more than $14. You work for a consumer advocacy group and are asked to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 32 yoga sessions has a mean cost of $15.59 and a standard deviation of $2.60. At α = 0.025, do you have enough evidence to reject the magazine’s claim?
(a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha,
(b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s),
(c) Find the standardized test statistic t,
(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis,
(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the population is normally distributed. If convenient, use technology. |
