Firm Abs will incur $5,000,000 in initial capital outlays in Year 1, $3,000,0000 in Year 2 and $1,000,0000 in Year 3. Since the company does not expect to be able to produce or sell its product until Year 2, it will not incur any labor and materials cost in Year 1. Based on marketing research and forecasting tools, Firm Abs to sell 6,000 units in Year 2 at a price of $320 and then expect that quantity to double in Year 3 and remain at that level in Years 5. However, they anticipate that the price will gradually reduce to $300, $270, and $240 in Years 3-5.

The makers of Excedrin Extra Strength advertise that its fast-acting formula delivers extra strength headache relief in no more than 15 minutes, on average. A consumer advocacy group believes that this claim is incorrect, and that the true average headache relief time is significantly longer than 15 minutes.

To test their belief, the consumer advocacy group took a random sample of 45 hospital patients who were currently experiencing a headache and administered a dose of Excedrin Extra Strength pain reliever. The amount of time it took for each patient to report relief from their headache, in minutes, was recorded. The sample mean headache relief time was 15.35 minutes, and the sample standard deviation was 0.95 minutes.

Using a significance level of .01, can the consumer advocacy group conclude that the true average headache relief time after taking Excedrin Extra Strength is longer than 15 minutes? Do a complete and appropriate hypothesis test.

Step 1 (Hypotheses)

H₀:    (Click to select)   π   x-bar   s   n   μ   σ   p      (Click to select)   =   ≠   ≤   >   ≥   <    

H_A:    (Click to select)   μ   x-bar   π   p   σ   s   n      (Click to select)   =   ≠   ≤   >   ≥   <    

Step 2 (Decision rule)

Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, the critical value for rejecting H₀ is   (Click to select)   +   -   ±   . (report your answer to 3 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)

Step 3 (Test statistic)

Using the sample data, the calculated value of the test statistic is   (Click to select)   +   -   ±   . (report your answer to 2 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)

Step 4 (Evaluate the null hypothesis)

Should the null hypothesis be rejected?    (Click to select)   yes   no   

Step 5 (Practical conclusion)

Can the consumer advocacy group conclude that the true average headache relief time after taking Excedrin Extra Strength is longer than 15 minutes?   (Click to select)   yes   no   

Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, what is the most accurate statement you can make about the numerical value of the p-value of this hypothesis test?
