In reference to the year 2000 national census, the distribution of United States households according to type of living arrangement is given in the table below. An SRS of 500 households gives the observed frequencies, by household type, for the city of Aurora, Illinois.
Ethnic Origin Census Percent Observed frequency from sample
Married, with children 25% 95
Married, with no children 20% 110
Single parent 5% 35
Single individual 15% 65
One person 20% 120
Other (roommate, etc.) 15% 75
Using a significance level of 0.05, test the claim that the Aurora distribution fits the distribution obtained by the census personnel.

In the year 2011 the prices at which producers sold their output were quite real to those producers. If they had tried to sell their products at 1983 prices their customers and stockholders would have rightly thought the producers had lost touch with reality. Why, then, would an economist calculate the value of 2011 output at 1983 prices and call it “real" GDP?

(a)
Formulate the hypotheses and test for a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.
H0: μd ≤ 0
Ha: μd > 0
H0: μd ≠ 0
Ha: μd = 0
H0: μd ≥ 0
Ha: μd < 0
H0: μd = 0
Ha: μd ≠ 0
H0: μd < 0
Ha: μd = 0
Calculate the test statistic. (Use current year airfare − previous year airfare. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?
Reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.Do not reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period. Reject H0. We cannot conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.Do not reject H0. We can conclude that there has been a significant increase in the mean domestic airfare for business travel for the one-year period.

b)What is the value of the test statistic?
c)What is the critical value of the test?
d)What is your conclusion? Explain it in the context of the problem.
