Question 1 A university claims that the average cost of books per student, per semester is $300. A group of students believes that the actual mean is higher than this. They take a random sample of 100 students and calculate the sample mean to be $345 with a standard deviation of $200. a)         Perform a z-test to see if the students are correct, that the true mean is greater than $300 using α = 0.05. Specify the hypotheses, test statistic, decision...

A recent publication states that the average closing cost for purchasing a new home is $8586. A real estate agent believes the average closing cost is more than $8586. She selects 28 new home purchases and finds that the average closing costs are $8582 with a standard deviation of $341. Help her decide if she is correct by testing her claim at αα=0.01. The correct hypotheses would be: H0:μ≤$8586H0:μ≤$8586 HA:μ>$8586HA:μ>$8586 (claim) H0:μ≥$8586H0:μ≥$8586 HA:μ<$8586HA:μ<$8586 (claim) H0:μ=$8586H0:μ=$8586 HA:μ≠$8586HA:μ≠$8586 (claim) Since the level...
