the necessary calculation table:-

price per night (x)	x²
713	508369
300	90000
292	85264
311	96721
598	357604
401	160801
618	381924
sum=3233	sum=1680683

sample size(n) = 7

here, we will do 1 sample t test for mean.

hypothesis:-

test statistic be:-

df = (n-1) = (7-1 ) = 6

p value be :-

[ in any blank cell of excel type =T.DIST(-0.571,6,TRUE) press enter]

decision:-

p value = 0.5887 > 0.01 (alpha)

so, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

conclusion:-

there is sufficient evidence to support the hotel manager's claim, that the average of the price that customer will pay to stay at their hotel is 500 at 0.01 level of significance.The claim is realistic.

A department store claims that their average customer satisfaction rating is 28.5. We believe that this is too high so we randomly sample 40 customers and find a sample average of 25.2. If the standard deviation of customer satisfaction for this store is 13.1, what is the probability of observing a sample at least this far below the claimed mean, assuming the claim is true? Can someone please help me complete this on a TI-84?
